I still enjoy playing Gears 3 occasionally and for about a month now we’ve noticed that the leaderboards for Horde, King of the Hill, Beast, etc. are all malfunctioning. When checking the leaderboards in any of the modes it appears the times are simply not there, or that the server(s) that host the database or whatever method is used to keep track of the leaderboards can’t be reached.
I understand it is a very old game and definitely not a priority but due to the lineage of Gears and all of the time and effort all of the players have put in throughout the years to obtain the achievements and top spots in the leaderboards I hope that it will eventually be fixed!
It’s a shame considering the only recent fps boost makes a huge difference. Me and a couple of friends would play gears 3 for the achievements if the servers were still going.
If it’s all taken offline, doing the fps boost seems kind of pointless.
Yeah it would be very disappointing since the core audience of Gears likes multiplayer. A person can always go back and enjoy the campaign though. I hip on Gears 2 every now and then and play some missions on Insane to relive the campaign because it’s been so long.
I’ve just played through ultimate edition, gears 2 and now playing through 3.
I only ever played 3 for a couple of months then one day I stopped and I don’t know why.
I would love to be able to try get all of the achievements as I did it with 4 and nearly there with 5. Am I right in saying some are now completely unobtainable in gears 3?
The leaderboards are very important in Gears 3 since a lot of people play to get better times and scores. The Gears 2 leaderboards still work, so they really should keep supporting Gears 3 leaderboards to keep their loyal fans happy.
Would appear the issue is affecting many titles. Leaderboards also gone on Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie and if i was to hazard a guess i’d say all first party titles published by microsoft on 360. What a bum move. I’d sooner have leaderboards over achievements any day of the week.
