Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • ImDesiirex Desiirable x (@ImDesiirex) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @NICKMERCS @GearsofWar Gears 5 has enough problems that need to be fixed before they try and make a successful BR game. High ping & the terrible netcode are just the beginning and not every game needs a BR and that doesn’t mean instant success look how big battlefield is and look how that BR turned out

  • bear_danny19911 Danny (@bear_danny19911) reported

    @F4T4L_42 @GearsofWar Not true ms invest millions upon millions into these big franchises the problem is the bang average untalented devs managing them & doing absolutely nothing with the franchises tc & 343 are to blame they are nowhere near as good as their predecessors

  • _Dorche Dorche (@_Dorche) reported

    @GearsofWar i cant back out of a lobby without losing rp but I can play a full game with griefers and lose a ton of rp in high elo every game. literally fix the ranked system its so stupid. not even worth getting high elo when you get penalized so much from griefers and match throwing. afks

  • Potty_Snatcher Viewtiful_Jae (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @NICKMERCS @GearsofWar conversation is really boiling down to game modes being the issue lmao just really want you guys to know that is the furthest thing from the issue lol. br would be cool but mfers aren’t playing gears cuz it doesn’t copy all the new game modes it’s cuz it lacks passion/ heart

  • CarguyTheManly Carguy (@CarguyTheManly) reported

    @disbabydntcry @GearsofWar They'll fix it eventually. I only use the default armored Anya anyway with gloved hands so idc

  • _Dorche Dorche (@_Dorche) reported

    @GearsofWar played koth ranked for under 20 hours and got to diamond 2. but once you're there everyone spams lancers and power weapons. whats even worse is that your team ends up afking quitting or throwing. even worse camping sniper when its 4v4 koth. broken system, fix the "competitive"

  • Goldengazza Gaz (@Goldengazza) reported

    @GearsofWar TC isn't ready... what issue or mistake are they going to have this operation I wonder?

  • NwOxTokenx {NwO} King xTokenx #BLM (@NwOxTokenx) reported

    @CoalitionGears How come I'm getting ranked ban when I get kicked out of my games can you fix this bullshit.

  • cdnloop traian (@cdnloop) reported

    @mmtchl @PezRadar I see no problem for you @mmtchl

  • Potty_Snatcher Viewtiful_Jae (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @NICKMERCS @GearsofWar ... and tile maps . No free aim reticle so you’re pissed cuz your shots got to heaven, hell and back but don’t hit where you aim. Online connectivity and pings lend me to believe the servers are bottom tier in quality and service. Gameplay contradicts itself at this point 3/3

  • NJCoda NJcoda⚡☄⚡ (@NJCoda) reported

    @GearsofWar halp.....game will not give exp or results. Lag disconnects......I hope there will be extrat time for people trying to complete campaign 5.....really suck if you don't. I keep playing because I complete em all. This week is gonna cost us, unless you extend. please.

  • younessmaqdissi doom (@younessmaqdissi) reported

    @NickMasters010 @GearsofWar Yes this is stupid I spent a lot of time on this game to get up there and now they just took all of it I’m going to give them one more week if they don’t fix it I’m deleting this shittt for good

  • 0rdyy 0rdyy (@0rdyy) reported

    @GearsofWar I will probably login to check the update out but that’s it. Can’t do another op with the same ranked versus modes.

  • _Dorche Dorche (@_Dorche) reported

    @GearsofWar imagine loading up operation 6 just to see a broken ranked system again. active players will only be up for one game and then everyone is gonna leave unless they're throwers, griefers, or 4 stack lancer spam teams. not a competitive game at all.

  • jota_elche Jota (@jota_elche) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Well if they launch the game and mp is not even ready after 1 year of its lifetime maybe the problem is not the modes but the company behind. I wouldn't mind to play new modes. Whatever while TC is not over Gears 6. Just saying if they focus again on pve game will fail anyway.

  • DustinEggerding Dustin Eggerding (@DustinEggerding) reported

    @CoalitionGears not sure if it's a known issue but happens every match so far in Arcade. Game starts and you can see people playing but sits on scoreboard saying "waiting for other players." Getting kicked in matches for "idling" when I'm not, the game just wont let me play

  • ItzDankHabits Dank (@ItzDankHabits) reported

    @GearsofWar Why do you consistently shoot blanks in this game???? Fix the shotgun FFS!!!!

  • _Dorche Dorche (@_Dorche) reported

    @GearsofWar broken game, cant solo q to master rank in koth because of afk teammates, throwers, feeders, early quitters. getting penalized tons of rp. cant even back out of a prelobby without being penalized. what a stupid game

  • NJCoda NJcoda⚡☄⚡ (@NJCoda) reported

    @GearsofWar Please tell me you are gonna extend campaign 5 a week to make up for lost time with this lag bs and lost results....please, please please.....

  • Potty_Snatcher Viewtiful_Jae (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @NICKMERCS @GearsofWar Ppl like team death match and king. That’s not the issue. The game isn’t fun. Maps aren’t dynamic, no weather no destruction no mid match changes . Weapons are dry af. They don’t keep previous woes for private match. They keep chagning focus and direction.... 1/3

  • VanDerGnash Van (@VanDerGnash) reported

    What's going on? @CoalitionGears I've been playing KOTH Ranked and game keeps kicking me out. And now I'm sanctioned for doing something I did not do. Is there any problem with servers?

  • hendo092 George Henderson (@hendo092) reported

    @CoalitionGears when you gonna make the servers better I’m in the UK and my ping is always over 100 at night. I have no problem with any other game.

  • AdenBay3 Aden Bay (@AdenBay3) reported

    @CoalitionGears guys, PLEASE fix Halo Of Duty: Jet Pack Sprinty Gimmicks And Class Abilites Fun Time Galore and make Halo into a proper Halo game again with balance, power weapons on map, no sprint, no classes, no killstreaks and the entire fan base will worship you.

  • BDoowayst The Notorious B.E.N. (@BDoowayst) reported

    @GearsofWar Can someone help me I always get the error code Estana... I don’t know what to do 😒

  • AJA696969 👟 (@AJA696969) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the game it keeps crashing on me for two ******* days won't let me play it

  • CambrianChris CreeperCakes (@CambrianChris) reported

    @CoalitionGears my boost seems to have ran out early and I haven’t received the iron from the major general V tour rank, is this a known issue?

  • GlassJimMMA James Vick (@GlassJimMMA) reported

    @Ashton94684562 @GearsofWar I actually misread your tweet but you did have a spelling error as well. That's not why I misread it though.

  • VKronos92 Kronos (@VKronos92) reported

    @TYPOGRAPH1C @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears If it was similar to battlefront 2 and you got points for objectives and killing enemies that you could spend on bigger locust like boomers, maulers etc, and for the cog silverbacks etc it would help that issue

  • psyounger psyounger - 3.5% (@psyounger) reported

    @PezRadar Well, you see. Like everything the UK govt has done, it's a gamble. Hence the horrendous death rate per population. It may come to a point where getting the important 2nd jab may be an issue if there's a problem with production. Again, a gamble. 1/2

  • _Dorche Dorche (@_Dorche) reported

    @GearsofWar 4 stack lancer spamming isnt competitve it never has been fix koth ranked. kids on pc using mouse and spamming lancer isn't competitive lol. cant believe some ppl get paid to spam power weapons and lancer. lol no wonder this game has such a small community
