I was so damn close to winning 🙅‍♂️🏆

My favorite Gears weapon of all time is without a doubt the Gnasher Shotgun. Of course, the Longshot, Torque Bow, Boomshot, Lancer Chainsaw, and even the Hammer of Dawn all hold a special place in my heart too. There is just something about the nature of shotgun battles in Gears that is unlike any other game ever.

The featured Free-For-All Gnashers game mode was ideal for me. No weapons but shotguns are allowed here. No teammates and an easy to maneuver and a small map to keep the action steady. This mode plays very well and my skills are able to shine because of it.

I went head to head against 13 other gamers and was not the least bit afraid. I stayed in the first place pretty much the entire match. I thought for sure I was about to get my first solo victory, then JToscano came and stole my victory. The guy clutched up at the very end to narrowly beat me out. I still was able to claim second place with 25 kills, but that dude was able to tally up 30 before me.

I had so many brutally awesome plays during this match, despite the slight input lag I am forced to deal with thanks to playing this from the cloud. Me being able to do so well is proof that Xbox Cloud Gaming does indeed work well, even at its beta stage. I can only imagine how popular this service will become once they start offering 4K streaming and find a way to make the latency feel non-existent.
