Take advantage of having four other players on your side.Īlso, remember that you can 'spot' enemies by clicking the left thumbstick when you have one in your crosshairs. There is no 'Lone Wolf' mode in Gears of War. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve died because I went off alone (or was abandoned). You don’t need to be bunched up in one area, but you should be aware of where your allies are and always have at least a wingman nearby. My experience with the beta taught me to love the Retro Lancer, although lately I’ve been using the regular Lancer as it has greater distance and accuracy.
Experiment with each assault rifle as well.
