I'm excited for these little tweaks actually, especially with the KOTH stuff.  Hopefully the rings don't end up being in stupid places!!  I'm actually entered into a 2v2 ladies tournament over the weekend so hopefully me and my partner can adjust to the new updates.  >.<!  Wish us luck!

Ya Retro is what everyone is using because it's really over powered.  Also you can 2piece with it, if you can close in close enough to charge but not kill you damage the guy a lot then you can just put a bullet into him and he's done.

Great. 2 piece on a retro. Oh well.

I got to play a few of the maps before work today and all I can say is, I can't wait to get home tonight to play more! I've been playing way too much ME3 lately and I'm glad to finally be back in a game where the movement between cover and movement all around feels a lot more fluid than in ME3. ME3 is fun but it isn't Gears of War fun!  I'll catch most of you later!
