because apparently the SOS (Sawed-off Shotgun) gibs opponents outside melee range, beating the Gnasher at it's own range. It also gibs opponents if the reticule is nowhere near them.

I understand that this is off-topic, but I'm pretty sure most of you will want to know why Reach is beating GoW3 in population, a game that's only came out a mere 3 months prior to it's release, compared to a game that's over a year old.

I will post this in the Flood as well. I'm sure most of you will know this, but what do you think about this predicament?

Reach's population is higher right now because of the holiday gifts.

It'll go back to normal eventually.

Bungie.net is not a place for blogs.
It's amazing how you ignore the whole thing and come up with a witty comment in response to this thread. Go figure.

Little kiddies got Reach for Christmas. Gears is the better game.

I'm sure people will flame me the moment I started this thread, which is inevitable, considering how hostile these forums can get. I only posted this to see what you guys think, I didn't say the SOS was overpowered. It's probably fixed anyway.

I thought this may be the cause as to why Reach is overpowering Gears 3 in population. But who knows...

reach is beating gears because gears has hands down the crappiest multiplayer experience whatsoever... i would rather play mw3 and even pay for all the inevitable addons than play the horribly unbalanced game known as gears of war.

halo reach, despite many frustrating flaws, is a much better multiplayer experience that actually has weapon balance to a certain extent.

gears 3 literally is all about stupid shotguns, no skill, just press right trigger with sawed off and pray you get him.... lol terribad multiplayer is a joke

don't get me wrong gears single player is awesome, i just find the multiplayer extremely clunky and unsmooth.

Gears multiplayer is a joke. Even Reach's is better.

I'm not surprised at all, gears has always had crappy multiplayer.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

The sawed off is not that bad. In terms of gameplay the only good reason Reach is beating Gears 3 is because there's just more variety. Gears is just 5 v 5 infantry matches.

Still, I'd say Gears 3 is more fresh and consistent. I'd prefer it between the two, although I'm not really in the mood for either right now.

BTW, if you hate the sawed off so bad, try the alpha playlist.

Gears has a good storyline and hoard mode.... and awful multiplayer. That's been the MO of this franchise since day 1.

Stop arguing over imaginary -blam!-. May as well argue over Santa Claus. There will never be proof that there is/was a god - and before people start saying "HERP DERP PROVE THERE WASN'T ONE ROFLOLOL" well, you are the people who made it up in the first place so we know there isn't one
What created the big bang then? A coalition of genetically modified TR-909s with extra distortion?

Gnashers of War 3 has never had a very big online community.
