RedStarRocket91 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 A round of Halo can be one of the most satisfying experiences in gaming: a test of skill, finesse, and tactical thinking combined with desperate run-and-gun action, where a well-placed shot from your Battle Rifle can mean the difference between life and death. Sometimes however, it's not enough to blast someone with a shotgun and see them collapse backwards, shields broken and spree ended. Sometimes, all you really want to do is splatter them all over the place. For those fans of the chainsaw bayonet, the overdramatic finishing move, or the headshot which literally explodes the target's skull, to coincide with the release of Gears of War: Judgement we're extremely pleased to announce the Shifting Gears Game Night! When Sunday April 14th at 1:30PM Central Time Where Gears of War 3Gears of War: Judgement This is an RSVP event: please leave both your gamertag and which of these games you own, as we need to get a good idea of how many people we have attending to help us set up lobbies. Depending on responses, we may host concurrent lobbies on both games, host on one first and then move to the next, or just stick to one of the two games. Prizes! As if the chance to reduce your fellow forum friends into small chunky bits for the sake of points wasn't enough, everyone who participates will also earn a unique award for their profile. And for one lucky Gear, there's a chance to win a truly incredible, literally unique prize! A custom "Shifting Gears/343iCF" controller skin, designed by Choot 'em!! For participating in the event, each member's name will be entered into a drawing in which one lucky participant will win this controller skin! 343iCF logo use approved by Twam. This is an absolutely amazing, one-of-a-kind prize which cannot be found anywhere else - special thanks to Choot 'em for both the design and the original idea! So what are you waiting for, Gears? Sign up today, do your part for the COG, and help celebrate the release of the newest instalment of the game that shaped the entire cover-based genre! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOO. Well now that the game night's been moved I can't wait to get a chance to play again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 UPDATE! At this point, as I'm expecting a very low turnout I think it's for the best that the playdate is moved to another time. We don't really have any other scheduled Gears of War playdates and I'd like to make sure that as many members as possible get the chance to participate, so for now this is on hiatus. I'll update again once I've had a chance to discuss some alternative dates: until then, I'm sorry to everyone who else who's expressed interest, but I promise that the Shifting Gears playdate will return! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedStarRocket91 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well.... I don't know if I'll be able to go when you re-schedule it. What I'll try and do for next time is come up with two or three different dates, and hopefully there'll be at least one which is good for everybody.

Zaguroth Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 So, any idea when possible dates for this may be? Also, still have GoW1 download code for giveaway whenever this happens. Not sure if it expires though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it won't be for another few weeks at the least, as I'm now back in Scotland and my internet up here does this every five bloody minutes. I'll find out when I'm next back in an area with decent internet, but sadly it might even have to wait until the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
