    @surrealstrafez @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Honestly gears 5 improved on some things but i think it would be smarter to just start fresh for six by adopting the gears 4 movement and shot registration and only fixing the known issues that they improved on. Gears 5 has become more of a waiting game and holding shots.

  • UthyrTheImpure 🌺UthyrTheSadGoon🌺 (@UthyrTheImpure) reported from Vero Beach, Florida

    @surrealstrafez @Decadence_3 @GearsofWar Im not single stick, i cant stand it. The up a is broken, sometimes you nail people a mile away and other times it throws your shot to the side of where you are facing. Its gotten better since launch but not by much. Gears 4 was great for the up a but it was slightly op.

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @NoxiousNicholas @GearsofWar oh trust me it WILL have the advantage, nobody will be able to move again. so far people have said that Lancers were too strong because they couldn't push them. Now, now the issue will be pushing the Gnasher.

  • WaterzBrandon Kursze (@WaterzBrandon) reported

    @GearsofWar While you're at it can you fix the dev gnahser, sick of having people hit my wall and i point blank them for 94-96-99% and they up a and get away with it 😕

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @NoxiousNicholas @GearsofWar the problem now is that most situations will be unpushable and will result in stalemates. try strafing at them - get 2 shot down try bouncing at them - Gnasher will lock up

  • elhabaner0 elhabanero (@elhabaner0) reported

    @CoalitionGears While y’all fix the update can y’all change the chrome steel while y’all at it ?

  • PGR_Midnite PGR Midnite (@PGR_Midnite) reported

    @cyyanide02 @danasissons @CoalitionGears Maybe internet. Have you tried all the techno issues fixes

  • VeteranAlpha Veteran Alpha 🇬🇧 (@VeteranAlpha) reported

    @GearsofWar When will you fools fix the Steam achievement bug? We are still locked at 150 achievements and we can't earn any of the new DLC achievements. It has been like that since the release of the Hivebusters...

  • BBjunky09 Its All About Taylor Swift (@BBjunky09) reported

    @mbcrump @CoalitionGears FIX MULTIPLAYER. 4v4 sucks it’s not Gears & now there is no not backfill. With all the changes at the studio please don’t kill the game.

  • Parker_316 Ayew Eze? (@Parker_316) reported

    @GearsofWar how have you produced over 5 games and still not got the online right ? Dedicated servers is like believing in god it’s there some where honestly, how does the game chat lag it’s 2021 ? Your embarrassing releasing titles like this no wonder it’s free...

  • zefxh Zefoh (@zefxh) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix your ranked matchmaking

  • rninetail20 Roman (@rninetail20) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I gotta ask because I really want to play Gears on PC, but it is rough. I connect my Steelseries headset via xbox wireless adapter and the audio stutters. This has been an issue since beta apparently. Any updates on when this will be fixed? 😭🙏🏼

  • SLICE_8130 Deonte Marshall (@SLICE_8130) reported

    Well after many years of service hours spent gaming and streaming my #GearsofWar #XboxOne has finally crapped out on me. Looks like streams may be on hold until i can afford to get a new one.

  • _Xcentrique S (@_Xcentrique) reported

    @TheWickerMan972 @CoalitionGears Same. I understand game dev is not an easy task but issues like this happen far too frequently with TC!

  • jfs0903 Iro56 (@jfs0903) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar When are you going to fix the mufflerd voices in the PC version, it's a truly painful truly painful experience for such a good game

  • LvxGoW HvNz Lex (@LvxGoW) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the servers while you're at it. Everything's lagging out once again. When will you update those Windows XP servers?

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @NoxiousNicholas @GearsofWar it's not always possible, more often than not it's not possible. the way weird people play ranked will prevent this tuning from working (it'd be less of an issue if people didn't play like freaks).

  • MajinnGene Jane (@MajinnGene) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix Horde. More enemies, (Lambent, Locust) continuity shouldn't matter when fighting against a Horde (HA) of enemies. OFFLINE ACCESSIBLITY PLEASE.

  • unknownphyzics mowgli (@unknownphyzics) reported
