Gears of War: Downed targets and lag

[Chocopolka]

I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem on GoW over LIVE. Sometimes when you down a target, and you shoot at them, when your bullets hit the target they make this wierd noise and all the bullets don't affect the target. Then, of course some guy goes over to the downed guy and revives him. I'm pretty sure this is just lag, but anyone know if Epic is going to address this situation in a patch?

Thats because you were playing a different gametype called exocution where you can only kill them them with a curb stomp.

...Curb stomp or some other form of execution (shoot them when up close, hit them but don't grenade tag them. It doesn't work) will get the job done.

The gametype you're probably looking for is Warzone, which is just plain ol' deathmatch.

[Rip]

Haha, i remember playing execution for the first time on accident and being like....wtf??? It wasn't until after I realized that it was a different gametype. Some people like it better because you have to finish em off, but others seem to despise it. I'm still kinda neutral at this point.

I love Execution, little more to it then just being a good shooter.

well I almost rarely use a automatic, For me its always a shotgun so im always up close to finish off, And I ussually just curb stomp anyways :D

lol you must be embarrased :D

it's called execution, when downed the only thing that kills the person is up close headshots, curbstomps, chainsaw, or a melee. when someone is downed not even a grenade or hammer of dawn explosion kills the person.

i personally love execution and it's all i play in ranked matches. warzone is too simple and easy.

I'm afraid to curb stomp, it seems whenever I go to curb stomp I get sawed in half or shot to death then done in. I prefer Shotgun kills when they're on the ground, quick and easy to recover from.

When I was finishing someone off with a curb-stomp or a chainsaw (can't remember which), someone Hammer of Dawn'ed me, but because I was in an animation, I survived! It was pretty funny, but I did lose all of my health.

I also like blowing there heads off with a shotgun. But the only thing I hate the most is when I fighting 2 or 3 guys and im rolling back and fourth, and I get someone down and im about to blow their head off but a teammate revives him :mad:

hehe yea. I learned that grenade tagging them takes care of the reviving part (and their teammates) :D

[Chocopolka]

Oh okay. I know that in Execution you have to finish them with something upclose, but I rarely pay attention to the gametype in ranked that I never notice it lol...or maybe because I rarely down people and just chainsaw them. Chainsawing people is so mcuh easier than trying to use the shotty cause of lag. >:(

[Strite]

I don't find this game considerably laggy, unless the host has a bad connection that is, but then maybe thats just me :rolleyes:

[Trastan]

OH. Well, that clears it up for me, too. My brother had been playing on his 360 online, and was getting pretty confused (and annoyed) by the fact that he couldn't kill people on the ground with gunfire. Guess that's what you get when you don't specify the gametype. I'll have to let him know. :rolleyes:

I wonder how many bug reports Epic have gotten about that?

:eek:

Poor guys. :(
