Eh? I thought we only start the 25th!

Let me try my code

If you bought bulletstorm just put it in (bulletstorm disc) and you can play now. If you preordered the game without buying bulletstorm you can start playing next monday with the code.

yeah the retro lancer helps balance out the shotgun bullshit. Unless shotgun wielding dude is within a couple metres of you, the retro lancer can bring him down fairly easily.

Played for a few hours this evening. Seems fun enough. Like a sped up version of Gears from what I remember. Lots of shotgunning which is a good or a bad thing depending on if you like that sort of gameplay. I really stink at the game right now.


I'm not really sure Gears is my type of shooter anymore but it you like Gears MP before this seems like something you would like.

One other odd thing was that I think the dedicated servers were down or something. Because I kept seeing host migrations.

I can see why this game infuriates so many. You can dump a whole lancer clip into someone but if that person has a shotgun, all they have to do is turn around and hit you twice.

Use the Retro lancer. It eats up people at close range.

My problem (which is my problem and not a problem with the game per se) is that I'm so use to iron sights and the hip fire reticule of most games that take the cod approach that shotgunning feels weird to me. All the diving doesn't really help me in that regard either.

Another big issue is I just can't get into hipfiring. Always have to hit LT.

most of the time when using shotgun in a one-on-one close range situation, you need to be hip-firing. Duders diving around in close range means pulling up the reticule ain't a viable option.

Much easier to aim quickly in their general direction from the hip.

Are dedicated servers ever up for this game? I've played both nights now and every time I get tons of host migrations.

It would be less annoying if the host migration didn't take forever and the game didn't completely start over from the beginning when the host migrates.

Also they (Epic) made such a big deal about dedicated servers that you would think they would lead with that more often during prime time playing hours.

Too true. I don't get the SOS use. The gnasher is just as good at that range (if not better) and you can dump on fools if you miss. The hammerburst needs to go back to burst fire and get rid of iron sights (looks terrible).

Because it's crazy easy to use. I fully admit I struggle with the gnasher but the sawed off requires so little skill that even I can use it. All I do is rush people or camp corners with it and its an automatic kill. It really needs some tuning before the real game releases.

Maybe it should be a pick up?

That's what some people are suggesting although it seems like there has to be a better way to balance it than going to that extreme

I'm out of town for the next month.  :P

But yeah I read about this on GAF. Unfortunate but the game is gonna sell millions anyway so the leak won't really hurt in the grand scheme.

Bump for me finishing this game and realizing it has the absolute dumbest story and worst dialogue of any big-budget title I've played in +5 years

Always found the campaign portion of Gears to be dull. Epic should just let People Can Fly make all their single-player content and themselves stick to multiplayer-- 'cos that's clearly their strong suit.
