The Scorcher Series

Here's a new line of videos that I'm currently working on. Each video will be about 10 minutes and will explore different scenarios with a given weapon.  The purpose of these videos is to explore and detail weapons and their mechanics. I hope that these videos will be useful as our war against the COG continues.
The first weapon I'm covering is the Scorcher. I chose the Scorcher because despite being on several maps, the gun is simply overlooked. It's been almost 2 months since launch, and I've yet to see anyone wield this weapon effectively. I'm not sure why, but it also seems to be a top choice for developers when they decide to do weapon swaps on maps. All of these things combined make the weapon worth exploring.

Hopefully, these videos will help us learn how to use and defend against this weapon more effectively.

Map Screens

Horde, I need your help. I'm currently in the process of collecting map screens, but I'm not sure which resolution/size is best.

Check out the screens after the break and leave your input in the comments.

The Defeat of Prowluh!

As of 2 minutes ago, Prowluh was defeated on Hotel with a score of 5-4 in favor of the locust! (that's us!)

Knowie and I fought a hard battle and managed to come back from a 4-2 deficit, and we even stole the MVP in the process! (MVP went to Knowie)

Today is a proud day for locust everywhere. Remember this day!

UPDATE

After the match was over, Prowluh sent Minotaur64 a message

Minotaur replied saying "good match"

Prowluh responded

All I can say is

RAAM's Shadow DLC!

Pit People,

Apparently new DLC is coming on Dec. 13th called Raam's Shadow DLC. Here is the article:

Due on Dec. 13, "RAAM's Shadow" sees Zeta Squad attempting to evacuate Illima City in the wake of Emergence Day. Your muscular protagonists for the trip are Michael Barrick (plucked from Gears of War comics), original character Alicia Valera, Gears of War 2's tattooed Tai Kaliso, and a perforation-free version of Lt. Kim. (Presumably, he's still got the codes.)

RAAM's running time is pegged at three hours, and it offers a couple of other bonuses. For $15 / 1200 MSP you'll also get six more multiplayer characters, the "chocolate" weapon set (we're unclear if that refers to a color scheme or a dairy-based construction), Achievements amounting to 250 Gamerscore and -- oh, what's this? "In addition to fighting as a new squad of Gears, players will step into the boots of RAAM himself, and for the first time storm the human stronghold from the perspective of one of the series' most legendary bosses."

As with the first round of upcoming DLC, "Horde Command," Gears of War 3 Season Pass owners get RAAM'd for free.

Looks like Knowie may get to play as Kim after all.

P.S. I'm still waiting on Skorge to make a return.

First order of business?

Where should our priorities be? Recruiting new members to the Pit? Making a secrets section? Let's set a list of goals to get us started.

one last thing: we should get locust avatars (still looking for a good one)
