    @Pittski @GearsofWar Problems we've had since the first remake. I can't be convinced they didn't less than half-*** this, and that E-day will be lazy slop. Microsoft used to have quality on the 360.

  • SAEliteHunter SA Elite Hunter (@SAEliteHunter) reported

    @GearsofWar @XboxP3 It’s almost 20 years since first Gears of War was released! To this day no servers for the Middle East? Why? Almost all other live service games have servers for Middle East. Xbox live service games don’t have servers in the Middle East except COD.
