    Gears of War E-day beta is a total trainwreck.I never played a more clunky game in my life! The developers totally mutilated everything that was fun about Gears of war and I dont even recognize the game I loved. This game has so many issues that it seems unfixable! Gears 5 is 100 times better then E-Day and that is really sad when they supposedly spent 400 million dollars in development. This game is probably the worse game that I ever played before and with GTA coming out along with Modernwarfare 4 I dont see how this game will survive! I dont see how they can fix this game by October 6 and like I said Gears was my all time favorite game and I cant believe how bad this game is. I mean you can't even sprint and fire the Gnasher but sliding into players is ok there is so much input delay and the gun tuning is horrible and it has so much delay and clunk it does not feel like a triple A game and once the honeymoon faze is over the numbers in this game will diminish. I waited for E Day for years and I am sad and shocked how bad it is. Thats what happens when you lose key members of development teams. E-Day feels like it went backwards not forward. If Gears 5 had a bigger community and they upgraded their servers I would delete this game off of my console and continue to play 5. If the Coalition was smart they would delay this games October 6 release date and fix all the issues! I just hope they can turn things around but that seems highly unlikely. RIP Gears of War @GearsofWar

    @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Maybe bottleneck but big doubt with this game. I have seen at least 1 issue with framerate capping. For me, it's capping me at 75 FPS. No idea if that's the same for everyone, but my fix is to change my game from borderless fullscreen to exclusive, and then back to borderless

    I am 50-50 on the lancer buff. Still freezing after today's fix. Been a lot of freezing on the closed and open beta which forces me to close the game. Some games the ping is +90. And rarely Ive point blank hit someone with a Gnasher and no hit reg. Otherwise 🔥🔥🔥 @GearsofWar

    @CoalitionGears Disable Ray Tracing immediately Fire Matt Searcy - game is terrible you need to push the release back another year and fix the game it plays like ***! You are all terrible and need to quit. Hire real game developers- so bad!

    @GearsofWar Are you guys actively pushing for proper regional server allocation and strict ping limits ahead of the full game launch ? I am put up in SEA and facing above 130 ms -231 ms ping in every mp match/horde. Gnasher kills are impossible. The latency/lag is unbearble.

    @GearsofWar Can we get an update on issues with account linking? When I select the option it just says “link your Microsoft account” with nothing for me to click or interact with.

    @GearsofWar Problems going on now is so worrisome.. no communication and transparency is going to kill the support.. anyway, looking forward to campaign and private horde games, cause teammates suck..

    @TYPOGRAPH1C @TrxgikS @GearsofWar Lancer was strong in gears 1-3 and wasn't a problem for casuals.

    Evan |-/ (@HonestySyndrome) reported

    @GearsofWar It's really cool to see these devs doing something because they like it and not solely because they were told to as a live service cash grab. They're doing things their way and proving to their audience and higher-ups that it can work.

    @Silverwve @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Yeah I’m not being capped or anything. I tried using my lossless scaling frame gen app off steam, but even then it’s rough. Lots of input lag and the game is so unstable bouncing between 35-65 that it’s still not helping. Frame gen may not be enough with how unstable it is :/

    @GearsofWar Please fix this and make all the shots come from either the barrel or the centre of the screen. The current placement is extremely inconsistent... @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Is there somewhere to submit bugs/glitches? When modifying a weapon in your loadout in Horde Seige, when you go to select a weapon mod, your weapon parts can be spent automatically in error on a random weapon mod

  • BryanCo74581560
    Bryan Contreras (@BryanCo74581560) reported

    @GearsofWar What they really need to fix is the inconsistent damage of their weapons. A 12-second respawn time? And sometimes the bullet comes from the middle of the action, and other times who knows where it comes from.

    @GearsofWar This isn’t ready and you won’t fix all this in two months. Please quit your job and hire a real development team- Got rid of planting gernadez Got rid of meat shield Got rid of chainsaw duals Force us to use Ray Tracing - no 4 instead of 5 players in a squad Ur Fired!

    @LUNITICWILL @Methodikul @GearsofWar LMAO, yes the Lancer is your MAIN SUPPORT WEAPON as it has been through all of Gears history. Again it wasn't until Gears 4 and 5 where it was broken and used by casuals (such as yourself, clearly) in a MAIN weapon type of way because it was broken.
