  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @VincenzoV92 @GearsofWar What's the problem now?

  • desitoreador Desi Toreador (@desitoreador) reported

    @GearsofWar It used to be when epic games and Cliffy B were there. Now it feels like it is being managed by incompetent and unpaid interns. Heck, even your in-game store is broken and you guys take more than 14 days to address support tickets.

  • z_V1p3r Daniel Flores (@z_V1p3r) reported

    @CoalitionGears who do i need to message to get my account fix?

  • MageC_XboX MageC 🇮🇨 (@MageC_XboX) reported

    I can't believe it, it's ridiculous, there's still a lot of broken achievements in #Gears5, it's a shame. @CoalitionGears

  • Kingpush3051 👽 (@Kingpush3051) reported

    @BlacMagnificent @XboxGamePassPC I’m extremely disappointed in the #xbox community right now. Like how you guys not on here complaining about this and not on @CoalitionGears this get this issue resolved. People have been with this issue since 2019??

  • Lil_Killa2k LilKilla2k (@Lil_Killa2k) reported

  • therealmikeds Mike S. (@therealmikeds) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the matchmaking. It's the #1 reason people quit ranked games!

  • Demon5379 Demon (@Demon5379) reported

    @GearsofWar It used to be like that. Unfortunately it’s broken

  • TonyaDavidson86 Tonya Davidson (@TonyaDavidson86) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar My husband only has the main characters that you started gears 5 with.. and all his cards are gone as well. How do we fix this. I play on the same system as him and I have all mine still..

  • jimmychoco Iván García (@jimmychoco) reported

    @GearsofWar Man u just messed up the mechanic class, you changed a non liked but working ultimate ability by a non liked and now buggy ability. I really hate the turret It doesn't work! I find a different bug every time I try to use It. I hope you can find a way to fix It.

  • FurLgp BlackoutBun *my fursonas name is Blade* (@FurLgp) reported

    @CoalitionGears why the hell is the osok ffa mode for ffa allow actives and knifing? Please fix this for ***** sake.

  • HowardL39777728 Howard Lee (@HowardL39777728) reported

    @flabberquestion @CoalitionGears don't worrie you probably get a skin that you already have as compo or nothing prob fix gears only respond to good feedback

  • UHellaGayNoCap (: (@UHellaGayNoCap) reported

    @GearsofWar It’s really ******* stupid that if the game crashes and the game ends before you rejoin the match you get banned fix your ******* game

  • Xanthicirs Video Games and Politics (@Xanthicirs) reported

    @SenatorIvy @GearsofWar Multiple times. xD The fabrication limit was broken even before they added the random tap.

  • OurTacticalNoOb YourTacticalTrap (@OurTacticalNoOb) reported

    Day 45 of waiting to be taken seriously and told why my account is banned from not playing a game for 5 months. I also found out that @tc_sera is taking the absolute piss out of people who are having actual issues with the service @CoalitionGears provides for @GearsofWar 🙃

  • clover_nero 𝓝𝓮𝓻𝓸 (@clover_nero) reported

    @St_Jamez841 @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears seems like xbox in general is having problems

  • AirynXI Airyn (@AirynXI) reported

    @Hollow_Heart @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears simple fix. stop buying items the second an update is released. i think you will live if you bought it an hour or two after it being released. the skin will be in the store for a week if not more.

  • SHADOWGAMINGUK1 SHADOWGAMINGUK (@SHADOWGAMINGUK1) reported

    @GearsofWar please fix gears cos at the moment it's ****** it's showing operation 6 content when we are on 7 and if u click on it it says could not find a price

  • AngryFps AngryFPSGamer (@AngryFps) reported

    Boomshot, Dropshot, & Torque bow are beyond broken with active reloads. That extra boost damage needs to be removed! @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny

  • Jay__Smith09 Jamari Smith 💎 (@Jay__Smith09) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Y’all fixing the wrong things. The issue is the competitive versus y’all put in the game. We want ranks. It literally whoever plays the game the most now. There no reason to even play gears 5 unless you’re gonna grind to get top 1000 and it’s not even worth it tbh. Give us ranks.

  • lackofrealism Kevin Hovdestad (@lackofrealism) reported

    @PezRadar @ZacharyDiaz no no, that's not an error

  • RVMichelMX19 Michel Arellano (@RVMichelMX19) reported

    When they are going to fix the problem that automatically expels you from the game and no longer lets you in @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears

  • HatchetBoy RunningHatchet 🏃🪓 (@HatchetBoy) reported

    @AngryFps @CoalitionGears @TC_Shauny boomshot is broken in a good way, it doesnt work.

  • imperviousrock Nicholas (@imperviousrock) reported

    @CoalitionGears Everytime you guys post something it always pertains to fixing some bug. Why so many bugs 2 yrs after release? Even the comments all I see are people asking can you please fix this or fix that.

  • MarinaNT86 Marina (@MarinaNT86) reported

    @MauryMunoz1026 @TC_Shauny @GearsofWar True. I was in there from the start (even a bit earlier) in both streamings, without touching the browser, with sound, logged into my account and I didn't get all the points. Here in Spain was real late, and I was so sleepy. I found this issue very unfair. This system is bugged

  • Danny_eXceeds Danny eXceeds I Emerge Danny (@Danny_eXceeds) reported

    @CoalitionGears IS THE GAME BROKEN IM PLAYING EXECUTION ON RIVER AND ALL WE HAVE IS A BOOM AND THEN FLASH’s IN THE SNIPE TOWER?! You guys SUCK! Ruining a great game.

  • unoillnino breakfast for dinner (@unoillnino) reported

    @SenatorIvy @Xanthicirs @GearsofWar It’s tricky because some people love the class stuff and I get it, but I’d like to play a simplified version with no buff b.s. or leveling, just everyone on an even playing field with 25 or 50 waves. But the game already has issues with split player base so I guess not happening

  • VincenzoV92 Vincenzo Vesprini (@VincenzoV92) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix the game, it’s broken

  • GlassBroncos Chris Glass (@GlassBroncos) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hi I still have problem not able to read anyone chat on screen and also can't type my chat on screen either. I believe I already post before and this is my second time to ask to fix that issues. I really need that chat screen back since I'm deaf. Thank you
