  • Ptatprat reese (@Ptatprat) reported

    @CoalitionGears can you all fix the sniper on gears 5? The thing is *** and half the headshots don’t even register, y’all really ruined a good game after gears UE was made.

  • CheekieG CheekieGuardian (@CheekieG) reported

    @GearsofWar Hi coalition plz fix your server

  • Jonatha53432145 Jonathan Clark (@Jonatha53432145) reported

    @CoalitionGears Bug fixes! All you guys do is break the game, fix the F-Ing match making already, or get better servers! Sick of this ****!

  • Goldengazza Gary Tibbit (@Goldengazza) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Is the snowball fight being so ****, intentional? Or is it broken? I can never tell with you guys...

  • TripleDreams ALMIGHTY™️ (@TripleDreams) reported

    @GearsofWar fix your ****** matchmaking! This **** is a joke how you have more than 10 years of online and you can’t manage to match make.

  • BrickCity96 B r i c k C i t y 9 6 (@BrickCity96) reported

    @TerryHB_ @danasissons @CoalitionGears Is this a repeated problem or a one time incident?

  • MonkeysxMoo35 Stephen (@MonkeysxMoo35) reported

    @haruspis @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar They make stellar single player experiences but the multiplayer has really suffered. Gears 4’s lootboxes were some of the worst in the industry and the DLC plan was total crap. Gears 5 was better, but launched bare bones and didn’t fix a lot of stuff until Operation 4

  • FutureHistory13 Joshua Diaz (@FutureHistory13) reported

    @CoalitionGears Are you guys aware of any jittering gameplay on the series x of Gears 5? Noticed in multiplayer the fps will get jittery. Currently running on a QHD (2560 x 1440) 144hz set the Xbox to 1440p & 60fps. Seems to be only a Gears 5 issue.

  • viiraldripz viiraldripz (@viiraldripz) reported

    @CoalitionGears the new beta tuning is horrible. Fix this please

  • BungiePlayer X DT Vergil (@BungiePlayer) reported

    @GearsofWar When because the game hitboxes are stupid as gnasher **** don't register at all. Make aim assist on and off option for people have problem aiming. I don't care I suck but I can't do anything about it. Pvp pro can say whatever. Who care about your get good languages talk. F off.

  • PzRyan_ Pz Pewwi (@PzRyan_) reported

    @bear_danny19911 @SkrawnyDiego @GearsofWar I was critical at the start but I give credit where it’s due, gears 5 rn is in a better state than gears lag of war 2 a year into its cycle

  • acowsik Ashwin Cowsik (@acowsik) reported

    @tc_sera @CoalitionGears @danasissons I played a 50 wave horde match on master on Blood Drive and at the end of the match, got an error when fetching results and got no XP or cards for the match. Restarted the game and no luck. Ticket #51539 raised for this issue.

  • BBBLGUMDJ Bubblegum (@BBBLGUMDJ) reported

    My Xbox Series has been shut down twice in a row by starting its "Hivebusters" DLC. Could you release the patch to fix these kinds of problems? @CoalitionGears @Xbox Xbox Series X

  • OGxBL00DYx0M3N CeeJayy (@OGxBL00DYx0M3N) reported

    @GearsofWar Soooooo how about those DLC skins, you gonna fix that too right??? Like we want those!!!

  • Demon5379 Hivebuster Demon (@Demon5379) reported

    @Frod054 @GearsofWar Not butthurt. Didn’t like the direction they went to since 4. They always messing up. MP and PvE is a mess and Hivebusters the best thing they have released by TC . Oh and getting rid of Rod helped a lot, he was a huge issue to the problems.

  • xactivedownx Gabriel Lee (@xactivedownx) reported

    @GearsofWar I was just kicked out of a ranked match of koth and now I'm "Ranked Banned." I've never quit a match in my life. 12:40pm cst. Gt: lostlinus. Please fix.

  • sweet_tortilla Levi Ventura 🐝 (@sweet_tortilla) reported

    @GearsofWar Are y’all gonna fix the Enter Hivebusters achievement? Still haven’t gotten my character skins and I finished the campaign already

  • SlNEMATIC666 David Scott (@SlNEMATIC666) reported

    @GearsofWar Will there be compensation for the class xp error? Retroactive reward?

  • TheMaleTGR A (@TheMaleTGR) reported

    @GearsofWar fix your game will you. Can’t even get online, no one even plays it.

  • JannLee360 Alexander Schneider 🖖 (@JannLee360) reported

    @CoalitionGears Still having problems. Can't connect to play Hivebusters with my friend. Always times out. So you have an ETA on a fix?

  • JackMc0 Jack Mc Cormack (@JackMc0) reported

    @GearsofWar Any word on the connection issues being sorted? I'm trying to play the story mode on Xbox Series X with a friend and it keeps dropping connection. I've no connection problems with any other games. Cheers

  • Grn0tterp0p Smaht popsicle (@Grn0tterp0p) reported

    @XboxSupport i'm having issues with #gears5 just noticed a download, i didn't authorize btw, and now i can't load a ffa match on canals. #sendhelp @GearsofWar says my content "is missing or invalid"

  • Vwxzi_NBL Vwxzi (@Vwxzi_NBL) reported

    @XboxP3 hey ******* fix your ******* contract structure so @CoalitionGears can keep their Devs who are essential to the integrity of the Gears of War franchise. You incompetent fools are RUINING an entire franchise and TAKING GOOD PEOPLEs JOBS IN A PANDEMIC! Microsoft is EVIL!

  • GeovanniDood Geo (@GeovanniDood) reported

  • ryder4life12 Watchin' Thru Your Window (@ryder4life12) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your game. Game worked fine until the update. I've been stuck on loading act III rocket plan for over 10 mins to the point the music ended. Gears 5 is broken now.

  • ElPichi931 Alex Santos 🇺🇸 (@ElPichi931) reported

    @McBiggitty @CoalitionGears It is TERRIBLE online though. So glitchy. I love the content but performance has been awful and my whole team is playing on series x. Constant lag and visual/audio glitches

  • AlexandroAria14 Alexandro Arias (@AlexandroAria14) reported
