    @CoalitionGears How about you ******** fix this God damn game for a change. Pathetic balancing crap. You should be a shamed of yourself that after 15 years you can't get a multi-player game balanced correctly! Instead you just give advantage to each team a different round rofl. Wtf!!

  • Kindrroko Kindrroko 🍥 (@Kindrroko) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears There’s multiple issues if you’d care to look for them instead of glorifying a company that doesn’t care about its product or the player base

  • NapalmSavage NapalmSavage77 (@NapalmSavage) reported

    So.. @TC_Kilo @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar can we get a fix to the lobby size glitching on Control if it hasn't already been addressed elsewhere. Apparently if your team is full, and someone joins your squad, the game allows the join for a 4v5 in 4v4's

  • hoopstar245 Kyle Hooper (@hoopstar245) reported

    @Kindrroko @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Ive had 0 problems playing the game since the new operation came out? I didn't think staring at a store page to update counted as "playing the game"

  • hoopstar245 Kyle Hooper (@hoopstar245) reported

    @MasterCDLTG @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears That is a terrible take. Loads of things can go wrong with updates. Please find me a game Dev that says "updating" a game is a easy process. Things happen because of issues, best to just understand that.

  • Kindrroko Kindrroko 🍥 (@Kindrroko) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears I’ve had multiple issues since the operation came out. 1. Not loading into the game while the game is already starting in ranked games (not just w/ me but with friends also) 2. Control lobbies don’t fill up half the time 3.Joining into multiple control lobbies of just boosters

  • TheDoomDealer Darren McCabe (@TheDoomDealer) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar What about the glitch that when u get downed and revived Ur weapon is invisible, REALLY annoying and REALLY needs fixed (using heroic venom skins if that helps)

  • JoeyCollado2 Joseph (@JoeyCollado2) reported

    @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears I agree and psa if you swiped up and gave this person a hard time cause it's their opinion... and personally I agree. There is ALWAYS an issue with the store, content ect. Maybe things being timely and effective doesn't bother you but it bothers a lot of people.

  • MasterCDLTG Bread (@MasterCDLTG) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Again you are wrong, if a mechanic says that my car will be ready at 9 o'clock then I hope it is ready at that time, since it is a service that I am paying, like many I pay for this video game, the minimum I hope is that they can do an update without errors

  • zjeffsaid said (@zjeffsaid) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo Fix the problem wiht the chrome steels characters i bought one in february and still is not in my account

  • NyteMareVT NyteMareVT (@NyteMareVT) reported

    i think im down with gears, im tired of this **** game dosent go anywhere @CoalitionGears likes to sit back a let the game die ******* pathetic love the franchise but gears 5 is just terrible ill comeback once they fix this **** sounds like never lol.

  • reveles_osiel Osiel Reveles López (@reveles_osiel) reported

    @CoalitionGears @TC_Kilo I still have problems with improving my cards, I would love if you could help me solve it, it is frustrating not being able to pass a horde or escape with the ability that I like.

  • Eyeganism 𝔻𝕚𝕘𝟙𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝕎𝕚𝕫𝕒𝕣𝕕 (@Eyeganism) reported

    @CoalitionGears Who cares. It's a weak update. Why don't you fix the game or go back to the last tuning? You care too much about the store instead if the gameplay. Unless losing player base was the plan ... IDK.

  • hoopstar245 Kyle Hooper (@hoopstar245) reported

    @Algorit96140265 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears 1 year of constant failures? I can't say I've ever stopped playing the game due to issues with Gears 5. Could you point me to some of these terrible errors that ruined your ability to play the game?

  • TomBroLive Tom Brougham (@TomBroLive) reported

    @shatt3r3dh3artz @CoalitionGears Yeah, no. This isn’t a locust hivebuster skin. It’s just the locust hybrid with a menu glitch to show the venom bomb.

  • Pow_Purple_Goat Goat (@Pow_Purple_Goat) reported

    @Frankie_Esquire @CoalitionGears I was wondering the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one who has the problem

  • Kindrroko Kindrroko 🍥 (@Kindrroko) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Of course I’m free to do that, but why would I unfollow a series that I’ve loved since I was a kid when there’s hope they could fix the series? If you say you haven’t had any problems with the game you’re clearly just denying the problems because majority of them are surface lvl

  • Kindrroko Kindrroko 🍥 (@Kindrroko) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Don’t have notifications on just come to Twitter whenever I notice there’s an issue. Also you have to be able to play a game to criticize it and they’re already not off to a great start this operation, or any operation for that matter.

  • MasterCDLTG Bread (@MasterCDLTG) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears In fact, you are right, repairing a car is more difficult, these professional developers cannot do a simple update without errors, but according to you, we cannot be bothered by a professional not doing their job well.

  • FixGoW3Servers Fix GoW3 Servers (@FixGoW3Servers) reported

    FIX THE GOW3 SERVERS PLEASE @TC_Kilo @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears

  • xcisionx X (@xcisionx) reported

    @CoalitionGears Always issues, never seen a studio, tweak, rebalance, delay servcies weekly as much as TC, @BillGates Please give the Gears of ear franchise to another studio, these guys are sitting around collecting checks acting like there busy 🤡

  • PFaux183 PyroFaux183 (@PFaux183) reported

    @GearsofWar Literally no one asked for a collectors re-skin of major paduk. Maybe a jungle tai perhaps 🤔 or maybe a classic commando dom idk just me I guess. Also why don't you fix the onyx guard?

  • gustavosilvacu gustavo Silva Cutiño (@gustavosilvacu) reported

    @CoalitionGears Any news on that, @iamkovas account is still no getting xp or level up, nothing? Any fix soon?

  • Algorit96140265 Algorithm_Tf1 (@Algorit96140265) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Bro it isn’t a indie studio it’s a AAA Microsoft exclusive and they can’t update the store without a crash I understand bugs and unexpected events happen but after 1 year of constant failures you gotta open your eyes to the bigger picture

  • XxAlBeRtOxX193 The BabyBone (@XxAlBeRtOxX193) reported

    @GearsofWar @GearsEsports And when are they going to review the problem with the ranking skins?

  • Frank59791182 Frank (@Frank59791182) reported

    @GearsofWar This is bullshit, beside captain hoffman is glitch when he speaks its not hoffmans voice its marcus voice. Are you fixing that? Awful store coming from now till 2 of april. This operation sucks hard

  • Cheflisakeefer ChefLisaKeefer (@Cheflisakeefer) reported

    @CoalitionGears It's been weeks and you've yet to address this issue. I've sent multiple reports and so far all you've done is tell me to reload the game and do a power down. My game isn't playable thanks to your update. Are you ever going to fix it?

  • Lvis_Mac Luis Morales (@Lvis_Mac) reported

    @NotTheRealCMP @PatrickOakes @GearsofWar No problem bro, GL

  • Zorux_Akira Zorux Akira (@Zorux_Akira) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar It's alright, it's just cosmetic content. As long as we can still play, everything's cool, TC. Don't feel rushed and fix it at your pace~

  • Algorit96140265 Algorithm_Tf1 (@Algorit96140265) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Terrible d-sync net code constant 99% from enemies who are being helped with lag compensation server issues where everyone in the lobby has 200+ pings screen tears and ported maps from gears 4 oh gears 5 launch was unplayable for the first 5 months with a ridiculous ranking systm
