Gears of war 2, are chainsaws legit or not?

[Bangcrashboom]

So im playing Gears of War 2 with a buddy of mine and hes complaining that someone chainsawed him. He claims that it isnt a legit kill and that it is a noobish thing. Though it is a noobish thing, wouldnt it still be a legit kill? Its put into the game and it is not a hack so there for it is legit am i right? We are arguing about it so i decided to post this here for opinions to settle it. I am asking not the fact that its cheap but the fact that it is a real legit kill. No matter if its nooby or not. He calls it not legit just because it isnt fully fair, but yet he has the same ability of using it as everyone else but chooses not too...

Opinions please.

gay random thread but its a perfectly okay thing to do, I doubt he would be behind an enemy and be like "nah I won't chainsaw it's nooby"

Stupid Poll. Should have made a Yes it's legit AND not noobish.
That's where my vote would go.

oh look you answered your own question

[Tokzic]

maybe if you weren't such a bad player that you let people get right in your face you wouldn't care about chainsaws so much

im not the one complaining, my friend is

[who_cares973]

your friend sucks then

It was put in the game on purpose. It is legit. /thread

Tell your friend he's stupid.
They are legit and chainsaws are powerful BUT the bad thing is you gotta be close ranged. It's not our fault he cries over that cause he lets his enemy get close to him.

If he can't beat the chainsaw, then he's a noob himself, though he is technically right (anybody who's even decent at the game will never use chainsaw when playing competitively, period). If you're asking if it's "legit", then it obviously is, as it was put into the game for a reason...they aren't cheap or broken or anything.

I always find it funny when people complain about things that were put in the game on purpose. How can something the developers put in the game and put thought into not be legit. It's not like they accidentally spend hundreds of hours programing it in just for it to be unfair. This applies to just about every game.

A kill is a kill, noob or not. Hes just whining because he got man raped by someone he doesn't know online.

Ur friend needs to be hugged by a hungry grizzly bear. People this stupid derserves to be eaten.

That's like saying is getting sniped isn't legit. Of course it is, long range has it's defensive perks and requires a small amount of skill to pull off and close range has it's offensive perks and requires a bit of skill to pull off also. Both can lead to an instant kill because they require a bit more skill then middle range combat.

But as After Dawn said, competitive players never really use the chainsaw unless they know for a 100% certainty that they will pull off the kill.

No there not anyone want to play gears 2 right now?

[1mpuls3]

gears of war is an okay game. It is obviously not a hack. if you are killed shut up and kill them yourselves

[LoneW0lf]

its like the flamethrower, cheap but an easy kill.

but if you chainsaw someone you leave yerself open to get destroyed. i've shotguned many idiots who use the chasinsaw.

The options make no sense. Imagine if this was real life. Would you really have the guts to walk up to some alien zombie thing, pull a chainsaw out of your gun, and slice him into two pieces while all his blood comes squirting out of him like a hose and his torturous yell is so ear piercing it brings an entire hoard of them from the depths of hell to kill you? I think not.

Its kind of simple, fight fire with fire, chainsaw him back, ba dur.

If it's in the game to be used, its legit, yet another ba dur.

3rd ba dur, if you see it coming, run.....?

4th Ba dur, Its called a hammerburst, it stalls a running opponent and someone using a chainsaw, cheaper alternaternative to the hammerburst is the Gnasher Shotgun, its twice as effective.

Sry, I hate people who complain about chainsaws, if you complain about it you deserve to get it over and over again until you realize, I need to do something about this. Maybe thats why I have a 1.9 KD ratio on execution :/
