I looked through a few of the forums, and everyone seems to think that this tactical mode is going to be in effect throughout the week on all games. But to me it sounds like this is going to be a vote situation, where you pick, for example, warzone through the new playlists, and then instead of it asking you to vote for warzone or execution, it'll ask you to vote for warzone classic or warzone tactical. Does anyone know for certain which of these it's going to be?

I don't know to me it seems like there will be a tactical mode, at least that is what I hope.

More damage = tactical mode. lol... Weak.
After 9 days, this incentive.. if you can even CALL it that.. will wear off.
I don't see how a simple damage increase is supposed to give it a whole new "mode".

They limit your shotgun to like 8 bullets.

It does seem like a bit of a stretch to call it a new game "mode", but I'm interested to see how it plays with the new tweaks.

It seems like their intent is to encourage people to use cover more often instead of just running up to someone and doing the "shotgun dance".

I suppose you'll also have to pick your shots and conserve ammo, along with scavenging for ammo from dropped weapons.

It should change up the way people play a little bit, at least.

Actually yes when you think about it. If you know you risk more by charging or staying in the open. You will you more tatics and cover

I think i read somewhere that along with guns doing more damge they will also start off with less ammo, so instead of 350 in the lancer you might only have 150. But dont quote me on how much less each gun will have, that guess on the lancer was just an example, I have no clue what the starting limits will be

WTF is a hammberbusrst scrub?

WTF is a "hammberbusrst"?

That sounds like it would be a good addition to the game.  Would eliminate the effectiveness of two-piecing and could change the game dynamics a lot.  Like playing Halo with the shields turned off.  No more running straight at guys to try and melee.  With the cover system in the game it's too bad you're impervious to bullets.  Sort of a waste of a good system compared with what it could be. 

I see not Tactical Mode.. nice name just for upping the damage Epic. fail.

Isn't that all that tactical mode was supposed to have?

garbage.
Let me up the damage of the boomshot and torque and call it.. Massacre mode..

Well, this game will get uninstalled when I get L4D2 in 11 days.

Was playing the demo a bit last night.  Is there no way to zoom aim without a scoped rifle?  I only played it for a few minutes but typically a trigger or clicking down on the rt stick is how to get into a better aiming mode.  Couldn't find any way to do it with a machine gun.

It makes the Lancer more powerful than the HammerBurst..  Played a few games and the damage from the Lancer is too much. Did not see a vote, Had to play tactical. 

Do you mean literally more powerful, or more effective?  Like if you got a few headshots with a lancer will it take a guy down now?

personally, the tactical thing has been the most fun ive had playing gears since it came out, it feels more like a warzone where you have to actually watch your bullets, and you can actuall kill someone from afar with a lancer without them runing to cover, plus it makes all those shotgun only pussies use another weapon, and i canFINALLY play submission and king of the hillz!!!!!!!!i hope this is permanent or at least a new playlist

Every 6 weeks Rare employees and Microsoft employees get together for a knife fight to the death. True story.

since the bullets come out in a continuous stream it is more powerful.  When i use my hammerburst the guy with the lancer starts out winning, but the HB is more powerful so I make up for it with accuracy. Tactical just lets the lancer down you. No catching up. Pretty weak if you ask me..

People die when they are killed.

49ers 4-5 (I know we suck)

Single Boltok bullet was a headshot for me. Yeah, the damage change is definitely noticeable. I welcome this change, as it feels a little closer to what the game SHOULD have been; tactical, taking cover and not just rushing into battle with a shotgun while people pump you with lead. The Hammerburst downs even faster, and the Lancer is pretty powerful as well. It is amusing to find people STILL rushing out into situations, regardless if they know about the Tactical mode or not.

exactly, what i love about it the most is that from what i've played so far for the first time in gears of war 2 history the players seemed to actually have some common sense and use the weapon that's appropriate to the situation

i hope this mode stays as a seperate playlist so people like me who enjoy variety and enjoy going against people who do more than bounce around and two piece, and have the other playlists for people who want it back to the way it was or hell to make them even more happy, have a playlist that's akin to gears 1, increased shotgun rate and damage and all that good stuff that they love but with gears 2 maps

This is what Gears should be all the time.
