    @ayoehh Please, fix this and make all the shots go out of the barrel... This is inconsistent as hell. @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar

    Sam (@RoyalDeathClaw) reported

    @GearsofWar @_Rccky Is there any changes to that weird sort of like slow down or input lag after rolling? I can’t explain it, but your aiming or camera movement isn’t as fluid when doing actions. Also, can we please get a game mode where it’s Gnashers and Lancers only? No nades, power weapons, nuthn

    @GearsofWar would love to play the beta but now every time I try to turn it on the game crashes my computer. All drivers up to date launching it on Steam and now have tried over 10 times and crash every time. Any tips?

    @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

    @CoalitionGears Remove actives. Revert the Lancer changes. Nerf Retro damage. Tone down the stopping power. Make strafing speed faster. Fix input delay. (KB&M) Give us more control over our character movement. It currently feels far too clunky and unresponsive. Remove shot delay. Bring back Barrel shooting. Increase Gnasher poke damage. Make the Gnasher more consistent. Buff the Gnasher shot count back to 8. Improve netcode. Improve hit boxes. Nerf Incinerator ammo count to 4. Nerf Gut Puncher ammo count to 4. Nerf the Mulcher. (Insta deletion) Bring the respawn timer down to 6/8 seconds. Bring back our damage percentage. Fix hold to sprint (KB&M) FOV slider.

    @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

    @Methodikul @Slkvbr @GearsofWar You just explained the issue right here lol, you just described a ******* assault rifle with a god damn chainsaw attached to it as a “support” weapon. 💀 The support weapon is supposed to be the ******* snub lmfao.

    @GearsofWar can you fix the map outpost? It keeps glitching so nobody can load in.

  • dtnamforsythe
    Y3ti (@dtnamforsythe) reported

    @WormsicleTV @CoalitionGears There are some small tweaks they can make throughout the game. The respawn timer is one, a hit reg issue, and the sprint seems a little slow. Those are my preferences for fixes.

  • Red_Exalt

    @CoalitionGears fix your bullet magnetism. So many guns shooting in other directions, but still killing me.
