kantus multiplayer vid

Sat Oct 11, 2008 at 11:27:51 AM EST

here is a vid of someone playing as the Kantus character in multiplayer. Notice near the end when he is in the sniper roost trying to take out that guy and he is getting pelted with bullets, his skin starts to glow like he is being burned by a scorcher. Someone stated in the comments that because he is the necromancer (healer), his skin lights up when he gets hurt, even though he can't heal in multiplayer. Tell me what you think.

  •  Thanks for the heads-up (none / 0)

    Looks ...interesting.  He is kinda lanky and definitely walks/runs differently than the other skins in MP.  I thought I would choose him when being a locust because of his background story, but now I am not so sure.  Still, awesome that we have the choice.  Will have to see him up close, play as him for a bit before I can decide.

    I've seen where it actually looks like someone playing, the wingman videos were good but I thought they were kinda lame in the sense of I couldn't tell what was going on.
    This one however has got me quite excited now...

  •  I didnt (none / 0)

    watch the whole thing but its still funny to see everyone who picks up Gears2 thinks its Gears1 and can play that way.  I saw the attempted pistol whipping and think its hilarious.  I really hope that they once this beast is unleashed into the wild that it plays a more tactical shooter and not just switch to my shotty and run at everyone.

    Im in Kentucky right now visiting family and most of them don't have computers. Right before I left I put up this diary. Now I'm in Kentucky, only being able to check this site with my phone and all these complaints come in. Yes, I know my sig is too large so after this post I'm going to try and remove it. But I really don't have as much time as others to search through every other iaru to make sure it hasn't been posted yet. If it has, and I or anyone else posts it as a diary, instead of complaining, why not just delete the damn thing and then if I ask where'd it go, someone could explain it too me. If it bothers you guys that much, just get an admin to delete it. /end of rant

        a fucking jackass sometimes, you know? I wasn't bragging about my phone, in fact I hate my phone, I was just telling you how I'm incapible of using a computer right now so I have to use my phone. Some of the people here are starting to piss me off at how rude they are. I post something fairly old and their all over my ass. Go outside and get some fresh air for once, k? It's not the end of the fucking world if someone doesn't use the search button. I joined this site for the love of the game, Gears of War. I didn't join to get chumped on all the fucking time for the littlest shit. Didn't anyone teach you guys manners? I was just stating my case and her come Robbins and machete chunping me out. Stop freaking over the littlest shit, really.

        •  excuse me (none / 0)

          Machete politely said "Why don't you just use the search button?" so it wasn't him. Excuse me Machete, Robbins on the other hand, is it your time of the month?

        •  Go get some fresh air? (none / 0)

          Listen kid, I dont sit inside making video reviews for a fucking iPhone because I'm excited that I got it. I do plenty of shit besides playing video games. Working 6 days a week, making sure I've got money for car payments, working some construction with my dad, you've got no idea. "Didnt anyone teach you guys manners?". How old are you again, kid? I'm pretty sure you still need a few lessons before you accuse people of not having manners. I point out stupid posts when I see them because its pointless to have 2 of the same video in 2 diaries one after the other. And sorry buddy, but I'm not a woman, so no, its not my time of the month. Also, when did I say you were bragging about your phone? Oh yeah, I DIDNT. I pointed out an obvious fact that you can still use the search function because I've done it on my iPod touch, which is the same exact thing. You're not getting away with that excuse. If you dont have time to look over the diaries, DONT POST IT. This a site for Gears of War, and whatever else we want to talk about, but its mainly focused on Gears, and with Gears 2 right around the corner, we'll be posting MP footage as it is posted on other sites. Learn to take shit when you post something stupid, buddy.

          •  ha (none / 0)

            wow. If you haven't noticed already, some people actually hadn't seen this until I posted it. You must have posted it in someone else's diary because Suns hasn't seen it. So don't act like everyone's seen it because of you. I wasn't aware you posted that, and I'm sorry for that. But don't act like I'm a dumbass for posting it again. Once again, the mods could have just deleted this. It's just a video, nothing to huff and puff about. And I'm 16, not like it matters. And yes, I was excited when I got my phone and many of my friends wanted me to do a review so they could see the phone from their point of view. You just fucking jump the gun so much, calm down dude, seriously. YOu don't have to tell me your life story. And I am aware your not of the feminine persuasion, it was a joke. haha. Sorry your too uptight to laugh.
            •  you know damn well (none / 0)

              you werent joking because you got your panties in a bunch. This is my last reply to you because its pointless. You couldnt just read Machetes post and leave it at that? Of course not. I point out the obvious, like I said before. I'm sorry if you cant accept that or if it seems too harsh, but I dont want things ending up like the official forum here. Leave it at this so I can go finish watching football :)

          •  oh and also (none / 0)

            How was I posting something stupid? I was just defending myself, don't be such a douche. If you don't like me or my posts, DON'T COMMENT. Your the reason we had this argument. Just stfu.

                  seeing as Papi doesn't post that much, when he does post something, it's not stupid. And Elite, you're talking about being mature and you're using some of the most immature, idiotic "jokes" towards people. And telling us to get outside... Maybe we can just get access to a computer VERY easily and don't need to make a big deal about it. Like me, I'm gaming and on the computer a good amount of time because I have such easy access to it. Does that mean that's all I do? Fuck no. So don't even start with that crap.

                    wasn't necessarily a joke, more of a smartass comment because he was bitching. Yes, I'm a smartass but does he really see it's that important to nag about every small thing? If you haven't notice, I try so hard to make all of you guys happy. I wasn't using the reply button. You guys nagged so I started using it. My sig was too big. Once again, you guys nagged so I took it down. Now this. IT'S JUST A VIDEO. IT's JUST A GAME. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FRIENDLY SITE. I joined this community looking for a good group of Gears lovers to talk to, and while most of the time that's what I get, there's always one douche who screws up the fun. idk, I guess I'll just delete this diary, I'm tired of the bitching.

              I meant that when the top 5 vid got posted first, that diary got "lost" because of the newer post coming (and how it pushes the other diaries down the list.). So I was trying to say that papi posted it again just to point out that the map order was stupid, and kinda dumb. I know you werent trying to be a dick, and I appreciate you stating that. You know I love ya, crunk ;)

      Don't use the Admins as Scapegoats. You could delete YOURSELF if you feel the need that it needs to be gone.

  •  I cant (none / 0)

    wait for Gears2 to come out so this shit stops and we can start bitching about problems with the game and not cuz someone posted shit 2x.  In his defence all he was trying to do was bring another video to all of us.  I never saw it before this diary, and I know that alot of videos are posted throughout diaries.  But being at work I cant watch them til I get home and by the time I get home I lose which diary had which videos.  Elite dont take offence just ignore it, cuz once you try to defend yourself you're gonna have a whole train on your ass.  Which is becoming more and more frequent on here.  Why I have no idea, maybe we're all just a lil too impatient and need to release on each other.  In the future just state that its a repeat instead of freaking the fuck out and creating more rifts between everyone.  Its starting to become very cliquey in here

      I just like to point out what's in my head instead of just moving on without saying a word. I'm pretty sure he learned a lesson and after this he won't make a dewp diary. He shoulda just did what I do when I don't know if something's been mentioned; Just post it as a comment in a new, popular diary. I'd rather have an off-topic comment than a dewp Diary. I call it Tough Love.

        being a regular that I know you are, you should notice that when one person calls someone out and they come back with a rebutal a few others jump on board.  And its fine to say whats in your head but from what I read it seems as though machete already cleared it up by just saying use the search.  Everything else was not needed and thats my honest opinion.

          I actually see what you're saying. I shouldn't have joined in on the dispute, but I just felt what I said needed to be said, but I should've done it in a more personal means, not to clutter the thread with it.

  •  Alright everyone, let’s take a deep breath (none / 0)

    ...and bring some calm to all of this drama.  Let me preface my comments by saying that EVERYONE has a point here.  I implore everyone to just walk away from this and stop the name-calling.  There’s really no reason for anyone to keep stoking the fires of argument for argument’s sake.  In fact, at this current time due to the site’s redesign, the admins cannot delete or lock any diaries.  We cannot edit or delete diaries until Jon and Jeremy resolve that bug.  In essence, this has allowed the community to self-police itself.  

    Another thing, thank you for taking that sig image down Elite.  As you can see, many members use sig images in their profile that are less obstructive to viewing posts.  Please feel free to rework that sig into a smaller format because we’re all proud of our own work. ☺

    The reason why many jumped on the fact that there are redundant diaries or posts on this community is the simple fact that this is not a typical forum or board.   Take a look at the official Epic Gears forums and you’ll understand what I mean.  We try to discourage clogging the Recent Diaries Section because there’s a lot of pertinent information that we want our members/readers to peruse through.  If everyone posted the same information without checking if the info had already been posted, it devolves into forums and boards that many of us avoid.  As Machete has already suggested in this diary, just use the Search function.  If you don’t have the time due to limited capabilities, just simply enjoy what you’ve found.  Everyone here, for the most part, is a diehard Gears fan.  We pride ourselves on staying abreast of any new info and revelations that are made available through every media-type.  The chances that someone has already posted that info are very high.  Don’t misunderstand me by thinking that I’m discouraging anyone from posting, but please do your “homework” before you do.

    The next thing is what is perceived as a double standard when it applies to Papi’s post particularly the “Top 5 MP Maps” diary.  That is not the case here.  Someone else did in fact previously posted the link.  However, that link didn’t spark any in-depth discussion about those choices until Papi took it upon himself to set it as a stand-alone diary.  I simply think that the guys didn’t express their defense of that situation as clearly as they could have.

    Folks, the main thing about this community is to respect each other.  Whether we choose to play in games together, break bread with each other, or just gather here to discuss topics; we’ve got to display civility and diplomacy.  We shouldn’t let small pet peeves get in the way of compassion and respect.  Nuff said.

    Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

    I agree with Blankman of course.  On all points (very nicely done sir).  

    Everyone had well thought out ideas (even while bashing each other).  It was actually pretty entertaining.  But I hope that everyone has their dignity intact and we can keep having fun together.
