  • Chazzyfield Igor Chesterfield 💬 (@Chazzyfield) reported

    @rhodes_flynn I initially got it just to play anything, because I didn’t have any console hahaha, but I was particularly looking forward to all of the @GearsofWar games (but the latest one got stale fast). The problem with Game Pass is that I always have a hard time choosing what to play next!

  • FrankMorgan5270 Frank Morgan (@FrankMorgan5270) reported

    @CoalitionGears Please fix gears 5 crashing on series x

  • fabian_massaro Fabian Massaro (@fabian_massaro) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix GOW5's multiplayer, it's really disgusting, its servers only benefit North American players and the rest are lagged, everyone comes out of multiplayer match because the experience is terrible, you can't play when you move lagged and they kill you from pointless distances.

  • Lu_ke_v Luke (@Lu_ke_v) reported

    @Andrea67013305 @GearsofWar Maybe an Xbox problem then cause I have the same issue but for vanguard

  • Ladydane66 Ladydane66 (@Ladydane66) reported

    @GearsofWar Want 5 players back and King of the hill on competitive/ranked play. why must you always "fix" what's not broken but "not fix" what is broken?

  • ZeftDaBest Zeft |🌎| Realm Crew (@ZeftDaBest) reported

    @GearsofWar What I think happened is when I got the disconnect symbol on my screen, I was still sliding into the wall on his screen. Only ever happens in fights

  • PLamberz Pascal Lamberz (@PLamberz) reported

  • Ciancr Cian Crowdy (@Ciancr) reported

  • SSdirewolf Tim/SSdirewolf (@SSdirewolf) reported

    So people have been reporting this issue for over a year about how Gears5 will shut off our consoles. Why are you ignoring this @CoalitionGears

  • KonradPolit Konrad Polit (@KonradPolit) reported

    @PezRadar ladder was promised to go out 7 days after premiere, today it's been 5 months since the launch and we still don't know the ladder date, and the basic bugs, such as the chat problem, have still not been resolved. Do you know how many people love this game?

  • Wael71595751 XboxGamer19 (@Wael71595751) reported

    @FormoxX @SASxSH4DOWZ @GearsofWar Why are you even following this page if your a hater and have some sort of problem with gears of war? If you don't like it don't follow! You looks stupid commenting while telling other people not to play a game you don't like 🙄🙄🙄

  • OfficialKevn12 Kevin Bryan (@OfficialKevn12) reported

    @GearsofWar Is there a way I can stop lagging on ranked? My connection is more than good enough and I don’t even lag on quickplay.

  • JasonLarge90 BritishGodzilla (@JasonLarge90) reported

    Does anyone know why my Series X turns off, whenever i play Gears 5? I have no problem with other games, just Gears 5. #GearsofWar #XboxSeriesX

  • truthyjason Jason (@truthyjason) reported

    @PezRadar @RodFergusson When are you going to fix the game for console players? I haven’t played in months w hell immunes as a completely solo experience. We should have had proper lobbies/chat/matchmaking at launch which I naively assumed it did. I hope you haven’t forgotten us

  • ZoidCTF Zoid (@ZoidCTF) reported

    @MysticalOS @PezRadar There are several issues with that request, you're basically asking for patch level selection. This results in a QA nightmare, having to run servers of different patches, further divides the community on servers, etc. The original Diablo II is still there for you.

  • shinoksbi Davidmm (@shinoksbi) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix the problem on xbox series x, you only punish with 9 games why it turns off by itself

  • cintron813 Jimster Cintrón (@cintron813) reported

    @CoalitionGears Any update on the XBL campaign coop not working?

  • Chris__Genesis P v D I L L v (@Chris__Genesis) reported

    @GearsEsports @CellzSZN @GearsofWar Nice! IMO spotting needs to be merged in the next gears. It’s broken that it’s literally a temporary wall hack and smoke are pointless if you already spotted. Maybe make it like space for when you spot it marks the area where the enemy is, not the actual player

    @GearsofWar can you fix the hackers on pc

  • ghostlysz Kazuma Kiryu (@ghostlysz) reported

    @CoalitionGears Gears 5 shut down my newly bought xbox series x. Is this a gears 5 problem or my xbox series x is faulty? I can play other games without any problem. I've completed the Halo: infinite and nothing happened to my xbox

    @PezRadar yup! when i worked events i was contracted for, i'd get groupons for parking near the airport instead of ordering an uber or shuttle service. it always came out cheaper, especially if i used a lot near the airport instead of AT the airport

  • Colaman22 ®🕹️RSM🎮⚙️ (@Colaman22) reported

    @GearsofWar @GearsEsports why am I banned for a network crash beyond my control?

  • LambentLordRAAM LambentLordRAAM (@LambentLordRAAM) reported

    @CoalitionGears @Community_Gears @Community_Gears you guys need to make this right & fix the hard crashing issue plaguing the community on the series X.
