I got this game when I was precisely 16 years and 35 days old! Been playing it ever since.

I think we all can relate to the horror of the first time playing Gears 1 Act 3 ā€œDownpourā€ and first facing the Lambert Wretches.

Well 2007 for me because I got my Xbox 360 when Gears 2 was released

I made a thread like this on the old forum and from the posts it kinda seems that the average age for GOW is roughly 28-30 IMO…I’m 33 now and been playing since E-day

@hotbeatz85 I’ll be 33 in July (8th) - from one '85 to another :beer:

To answer the original post, I am still around and have been since 2006. Despite the occasional lows, it’s still my favorite Xbox series. Hard to believe I was 21 when GoW1 dropped.

Found gears when I was nine, I’m 13 now and still lovin it lol

I first played Gears of War for Windows Live when i was 10 or 11 and i am 20 now :smiley_cat:

My whole clan ranges between early 20’s and early 30’s

I’ve played since the original Gears. It was the song ā€œGears of Warā€ by Megadeth that brought me to the game! I’m 47, so yeah, I’m old :wink:

Lol yeah I think we played one round of guardian on speyer before you left and were sporting the BS sniper. I know I saw your GT on here somewhere but couldn’t remember anything else. I will take you up on the offer my friend. :+1:

I normally play tourney layout. I got the elite controller for a few reasons. To use TAC (A button) while keeping my thumb on right stick, to be able to up A/shot gun roll/reaction shot (I’ll get there some day) easily while hard aiming if I want, and the extra sensitivity options and hair triggers are a nice plus. So far my game has not improved at all and in fact has suffered but I’m patient that it’ll pay off maybe a little bit later on when I’ve got the muscle memory.

I’ve found myself accidentally using the left paddle (which is the A button on default) to aim for some reason and end up running and/or jumping over cover straight into someone’s gnasher.
