Like I said, give me clear evidence that certain characters give users an advantage and we will review it.

There are still Loads of characters to choose from if the Carmine is removed from the choice from CoG they are the only ones that people have been coming to be about im not sure if they really do have smaller hit boxes or not but even if they did there is still more than enough char's there to choose from and with the DLC 2moz there are two more that are going to be added to the pickings so it shouldnt be a problem

Lets not forget that GOW3 is still a new game really and changes will be made for a more fair competitive game play

The hitboxes are smaller on certain characters and issues like this will arise as no player wants to have an opposition have the upper hand

Lets see what this season brings and then again let the admins review any changes needed for next season

I know we are the WGL but i would suggest having a look at the GOWForum or EGL and see what they are using as these teams play competitively for money and reputation and the players who play in these teams know what they are doing and create rules and settings to make it more fairer

I would love to see the Weapon Spawn changed from after use to after pickup so teams can attack better in games like KOTH

Like the change of banning female characters may reduce versatility in the cog side but oh well better than 5 anya's and 5 myrrah's, although is it just me or does kantus sponge even more than the female's?

Also i know the WGL wants to use different settings to the one's used at EGL or Hype but i disagree with changing the weapon to 'after use' to 'after pick up' as i have seen many teams use the strat where they save the last shot to prevent the other team from pushing it is purely a defensive tactic. Also teams may camp a power weapon and end up with 2 or 3 boomshots and no one wants to play against that lol.

I agree in some game modes but i think it would be great for KOTH

Do we really need to change 'after use' to 'after pick up' why punish a team for having a good set up? Back on topic savage kantus needs to go nothing is worse than playing against a kantus user from Germany!

Maybe if you play some gears before season starts you will see how much Kantus and S. Kantus sponge. Play 10 ranked games and quick matchs and count how many use S.Kantus? Trust me their not using them just because they like the character. How many times do you see General RAAM sponge? Not many I guess. I can't prove it out right but there is a difference in sponging shots. IMO.

Hitboxes have been proven to be bigger on some more than others
The main issue for me is when using sniper

On some of the larger characters you can get your head took off with sniper
Same scenario but using a smaller character you can not

I do not mind but as long as we know before the season kicks off would be great

I always use the smaller characters
Its better for me when i see a larger character even if its only visibly noticeable

never had a problem hitting smaller characters with a sniper, its when their wall bouncing its annoying

yeah just general wall bouncing seems to be spongy when done right and well

Character size doesn't matter when using the sniper, it is as Dave states the Bouncing is when you notice the Hitbox issue.

TBH i don't really think its the characters issue with the bouncing i just think its a game issue every person who wall bounces well iv come across always takes more shots to down/kill

When using sniper and your enemy is behind a block i assure you in some situations you will hit a large character and miss a smaller character

I have never had an issue with this yet, but I reckon is it due to where I aim.

It was a carry over from GOW2, not really a case of being added. We've discussed making the hammerburst a pickup weapon (ala GOW1) but never any further than that.

PLEASE LET'S NOT NOW DEBATE MAKING THE HAMMERBURST A PICK UP WEAPON

Hammerburst doesn't really have a spot in competitive gears, as Execution is the bread and butter of gears competitive play it is about teamwork not taking down a individual with 8 bullets it kind of ruins it and i say that as a hammerburst user myself.

Not debating btw just merely stating my opinion.
