  @Anduxuel @GearsofWar What made it worse it’s naturally a two person weapon and they made it into a one person if it was still you needed someone to carry the ammo box then yeah fine that’s easier to deal with take out the guy carrying the box but yeah that **** broken

  MY FINAL THOUGHTS OF GEARS OF WAR: EDAY They had SEVEN years to make this game and to be honest they need more time week 1 beta was the most fun I had then week 2 came and it’s the most dogshit thing I ever experienced. Open beta made me realize that the @Community_Gears don’t care about their player base they had couple of days to fix 12 second timer, and some bugs but decided to ultimately buff lancer ( which isn’t a big deal ) and did other things besides what most people complained about. This open beta is final product and they are not fixing ****. I definitely do not recommend this game spend your money on something better. Do better @CoalitionGears I’m so glad I got my refund.

  @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

  Split-screen not being available on PC isn't due to a technical issue, it really is being left out by design Gears of War 4 & 5 were amazing Split-screen experiences on PC, Reloaded not having it was a mistake. E-Day needs it too Can we please correct this mistake? @GearsofWar

  @CoalitionGears hey there would be appreciated if you fix your ****** servers on gears reloaded. Absolutely pathetic can't even find a game

  @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears is there a problem with the beta update? I had to delete the beta and reinstall since it wouldn’t get past 20% when “finishing up”.

  @ItsAhki_ @GearsofWar The lancer is so broken the shotgun is pointless. Gears is about smart aggression, not sitting still with an automatic. The tuning was fine. Now it’s insanely broken. Especially in ranked.

  Gears of War: E-Day is great… it just needs a couple things fixed: • Fix the Gnasher • Buff the Gnasher • Nerf the Gnasher • Make the Gnasher one-shot again • Stop the one-shots • Bring back 8 shells • Keep the 6 shells but make active reload better • Wall bounce is dead, bring it back • Wall bounce is still too strong, kill it • Cover cancels feel locked and slow • Cover cancels are too free • Movement has too much momentum • Movement has no weight • Bring the roadie run back • The new upright sprint is mid • Hit detection is trash • Hit detection is better than Gears 5 • Aim assist is broken • Aim assist doesn’t exist in Versus • Audio is dog water • Directional audio needs a complete overhaul • Crashes every 3 matches • Matchmaking takes 10 years • Crossplay is broken • PC cheaters already everywhere • EAC is useless • Ban macros • Controller support on Steam is a joke • MnK feels floaty • Mouse sensitivity is wrong • Deadzones are broken • Visual popping everywhere • Cover is inconsistent • Out of bounds still happens • Blood is too clean • Not enough gibs • Not enough execution animations • Marcus looks too young • Marcus looks too old • Dom’s voice is off • Bring back classic Horde instead of Horde Siege • Horde Siege is actually fire though • Add custom lobbies • Add more maps already • Fix the Lancer • Buff the Lancer more • Nerf the Lancer • Projectile travel time feels weird • Ballistics are too realistic • Make it feel more like Gears 1 • Make it feel more like Gears 3 • Make it feel more like Gears 5 but fixed • Fix the camera when sliding • Sliding is too strong • Sliding is useless • Jumping is pointless • Why can I even jump • Film grain and chromatic aberration can’t be turned off • Performance mode still dips • Series S hitching • 150 FPS cap in beta was criminal • Shaders take forever • Skip intro logos already • More blood. Always more blood. Once these are all fixed I think we’re headed in the right direction. Thanks. @CoalitionGears @XBOX

  @GearsofWar Your beta has cheaters now. The multiplayer will be dead within a month like Gears 4 if you don’t address this issue

  Danny (@bear_danny19911) reported 41 minutes ago

  @GhostEagleV @GearsofWar Using a cheap manufacturer & making it exclusive to us will do that lol just like the collectors editions they’re using whoever’s the cheapest then selling it a massive price tag for maximum profit problem is smaller manufacturers can’t develop a lot of stock for it

  g.gøry (@TheGregPage) reported 45 minutes ago

  @GearsofWar if yall don’t fix the sync and the cheaters. Your game dies. No one wants a clunky *** gears where nothing works. It’s a beta yes, but if this is how the game plays? Good luck

  @GearsofWar @XBOX @XBOXSupport I've been having an issue on Steam Eday where the sound cuts out and a few seconds later the entire game crashes. After the game crash, steam also crashes and won't boot back up until I completely restart the computer. I have a 5070Ti GPU.

  @ReimansZuwa @Gearsovwar @CoalitionGears Perhaps it is time to fix the game then?

  @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar obv frame gen will be a thing in the full game, but smooth motion works for now and it feels and looks the exact same as without it, no input lag or anything, just more (fake) frames

  The Beast | Vtuber (@TheBeastVtuber) reported 54 minutes ago

  @icy @GearsofWar Also the way they move, looks more like a bug than a "hack". Something is certainly broken, and that means it's possible to do it on either platform I'm sure.

  @TYPOGRAPH1C @GearsofWar Lancer is fine, the problem is stopping power. Stopping power with today’s aim assist is too strong. Not disagreeing on the buff. Can tune it down to how it was but stopping power needs to go. We’re repeating gow2/3 again

  @GearsofWar The beta is epic, but the crash issues on PC are a problem. Playing today I experienced two screen freezes and the game crashed with 3 of my friends ;(

  theReelDrew (@theReeelDrew) reported 58 minutes ago

  @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears You all really screwed the beta up with that update no clue what you all did but its not *skill issue*. Everything was working fine before that update. Now it’s Lancer heaven. I have no clue if you guys thought, “Yay, we balanced the weapons,” because no you absolutely did not. The servers were also acting worse. Good luck with launch. Hopefully things are better and the weapons are actually balanced, because otherwise this game is going to fall off just like Reloaded.
