hi guys im new to running this game and was wondering about a couple of things as i will be running this game on console specifically the xbox one is the timer needed to be on screen as if this is the case i will have trouble with this as my current pc is well garbage however if allowed i can upload the splits.io link with a submission of a run the only other point of concern to me is regarding the aiming system as i looked in the rules and couldn't find any confirmation is full auto aim allowed in this game or is it only to be set to assisted aim-partial or whatever its listed as ? my apologies if this is a long paragraph i just don't want any errors on my side before i submit a run

is there a reason that aftermath isnt on this board ? it seems to be a decent chapter to run.

hi im planning on running the gears series and was wondering does the timer have to be present on screen or do we just have to provide a video and splits.io as proof ? the reason i ask is because i have alot of issues trying to get my capture card working on obs and generally for the most part the games i run have an IGT screen at the end so a video as proof is all that is required unfortunately iirc gears of war doesnt have an IGT screen any information will be greatly appreciated.

hey guys lately i have been messing around with Chris at black tiger and i may of found a good strat for him.

At first i tried running behind him to make him turn and i ran to the door and knifed it i had reasonable success with this but i found one better.

if you equip the flamethrower prior to entering the room you can easily save upwards of 10 seconds im just using 10 secs as an example.

i begin by walking in 3 steps then immediately run to the door and manually turn chris whilst firing to get an early hit on the door and exited with little issue.

out of 5 attempts i got hit once and i was dropped to caution lucky it wasnt poison but on any% thats not really an issue thats mainly only an issue on best ending.

i know this was originally performed on psxjin but i watched rawderps run at black tiger and noticed he allowed black tiger to attack the web for him i believe thats an old strat but i figured it would be good to post this as its a viable option and has a high success rate i will try and post a video of it later as proof its a decent option and it it will show how easy it can be done on the PC version.

Also i timed it via in game time with a knife the fastest i got was 13.7 secs with the flamethrower i got 7.3 so its a difference on 6 secs the 10 secs above i was referring to real time even though it was an estimate.

But also remember with the knife i also hit the webs instead of allowing black tiger to hit the web obviously it can be done slightly faster with a knife i missed a few times so 13.7 was just a quick go at it but it just shows an example of the time differences someone skilled with chris knife could drop it to around 10 secs with black tiger being good and not being annoying and messing about.

hi guys im just wondering i have watched a few runs and have seen two routes a few with the 2 plug mainly the top times and a few with 4 plug route is there an actual vast difference in time aside from banking the knife and burning i think its the key of clubs is it a huge difference in a run ?

hi im interested in running the DS version but im just curious about the screen layout when i record a run is it mandatory to have the map screen on the run or are you allowed to just have a one lcd screen (the actual gameplay screen)as long as it shows the inputs ?
