    @kurtfhouse @GearsofWar Skill issue it sounds like lmao

  • Barcasaur NHL_Groyper (@Barcasaur) reported

    @GearsofWar Coalition is the most incompetent development team of all time. So much bullshit matchmaking issues can't even just update a remaster and not have it be total slop experience.

  • Chad2391 Chad Elderkin (@Chad2391) reported

    @CoalitionGears please fix footstep audio. I have been shot from behind with no notice more times than I can count

  • RoronoaFlacko Dame Wettah (@RoronoaFlacko) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears y’all need to fix the hit boxes on the shotgun there’s no way I shoot somebody 2 times and they not hurt at all

  • BLOODY_FATALITY BLOODY__FATALITY ✞🇺🇲🎮 (@BLOODY_FATALITY) reported

    @FullDISK_ @GearsofWar The issue I have is them giving out their exclusives like halloween candy to every platform which defeats the purpose of it being a exclusive. It has driven me from the platform and all I use my Series X for right now is the Microsoft Movies & TV app and Final Fantasy XVI since I've wanted to play it forever and it's not on Switch. Even then they're shutting down the app movie app. You can't purchase shows or movies anymore and it's only a matter of time before they kill access to your library that you've put all your money into. I'm guessing the app failed, but what do you expect when you lock it to Xbox and PC when it's a streaming service. That's the one thing they should've had on every platform. Most people stream shows on a streaming stick, a smart TV, or a mobile device/tablet. Not to mention having the service on other consoles as a alternative to other streaming services would've made it more flexible so people would like it and use it more. Microsoft just can't manage anything right on the Xbox side of things anymore. Playstation sucks now too. I guess I'm just gonna get a PC as my 3rd party machine while I play all my 1st paty games on Nintendo.

    @GearsofWar you guys have got to fix this server bullshit, you need to fix the gnasher, and for the love god fix the bug where you finish a match and don’t any of your xp. Just played an almost 30 minute KOTH match and didn’t get any of the xp. Please.

  • GloriousKev Glorious Kev | The Ryujinx Enthusiast (@GloriousKev) reported

    @MythionVR @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar Ppl say random things too. From everything I've read/seen mp shouldn't be a problem with this game on Linux

  • Dan117TV Dan117 (@Dan117TV) reported

    @Reluxies @GearsofWar Interesting. But I thought all players had to sign in with a Microsoft account, as it's a Microsoft game, no?

  • RossSlade92 Ross (@RossSlade92) reported

    @GearsofWar FIX THE GNASHER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

  • ChaseIsSavage 𝓒𝓱𝔁𝓼𝓮 (@ChaseIsSavage) reported

    @MrBubblyTTV @GearsofWar I had this same issue. What fixed it was signing out of my main XBL acct and signing into an alt. I’m not sure if simply signing out and back into your main would work, but switching to an alt did fix this for me (still got disconnects, but like once an hour or two, instead of nearly every match)

  • VinnyGauntlet VinnyTSG (@VinnyGauntlet) reported

    @FatalStryke @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Tell them to fix Microsoft linking accounts. Once you link an account, you can’t link a new one Messed up on my ps5 and now I’m stuck with the wrong account

  • wibbity_sab Sib Hardy (@wibbity_sab) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears please lower the time to self revive in execution, please add more maps to execution, please add the ability to rejoin execution matches if you disconnect

  • Reigdaer Carlos Josué Hernández Jaramillo (@Reigdaer) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar The best way to avoid this is *** GUD... That game mechanic had been there since it launched, is not a bug, not a glitch, is a skill issue

  • TME_Doomsday TME Doomsday (@TME_Doomsday) reported

    @GearsofWar Not gonna last very long is you don't fix the gnasher.

  • LetsGoRemiix Remiix (@LetsGoRemiix) reported

    @GearsofWar We just gotta fix the 1 shot down with the shotgun & I think the game will last for a year

  • mdrodriguez86 Markus Rodriguez (@mdrodriguez86) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar You guys really need to give this another fix patch because I can’t understand when going against another person with a shotgun next to each other it doesn’t process please fix that it annoying

  • GloriousKev Glorious Kev | The Ryujinx Enthusiast (@GloriousKev) reported

    @MythionVR @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar I don't think that's the issue. It apparently is really good on Steam Deck and on the Xbox launcher but universally bad on Windows desktop with Steam.

  • GloriousKev Glorious Kev | The Ryujinx Enthusiast (@GloriousKev) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar Man, I need in on some of these PlayStation lobbies. Does anyone know if this works well on Linux via Steam? I heard there was issues on Steam.

  • Ej_Scorpion Edgar Guerrero (@Ej_Scorpion) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears UE For win 10 Achievements pls

  • BLOODY_FATALITY BLOODY__FATALITY ✞🇺🇲🎮 (@BLOODY_FATALITY) reported

    @SynicalGaming1 @GearsofWar The issue with that is that it would be unfeasable without sacrificing heavily on hardware power and it would need to be pretty beefy for the Steam appeal to be good since the appeal would be literally running games from Steam. They are making a Xbox version of the Rogue Ally Handhelds but it's basically a normal one that makes it easier to stream Xbox games with a Gamepass subscription over the internet. It doesn't let you pop in a disc and play it natively on the system unfortunately.

  • FPLChads FPL Chad (@FPLChads) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the 1 shot downs

  • Needmorepudds MrScratchApprentice (@Needmorepudds) reported

    @CoalitionGears you need to nerf the Gnasher omg I shouldn't be getting downed 20 metres away with one round non active reload. Holy it's broken and just ruins so much fun from the gameplay. I'm sure you'll ignore this feedback though. This game needs updates

  • johnlukebacon John-Luke Bacon (@johnlukebacon) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix online service on steam

  • MythionVR Mythion (@MythionVR) reported

    @GloriousKev @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar The anticheat (Easy) is the problem. As per usual.

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix this broken **** New game radio silence as usual from your lame *** studio. Fix this broken *** matchmaking stalls and PS5 freezing. Lame af but expected. Can’t even copy and paste

  • PhantomPlayin PhantomPlayin (@PhantomPlayin) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar All the people saying he must be new I played Gears 1 2 and 3 back in the day and the Gnasher was never like this EVER. Its 100% broken

  • Andrestheking10 Andres (@Andrestheking10) reported

    @GearsofWar Yall need to fix sniper too why not keep the same feel as ue

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @CoalitionGears can anyone please explain how a glitchy *** beta has less issues than an actual game that releases a few months later? What is the point of these betas when the game is worse?
