    @GearsofWar No news about audio issues? I have had 0 dialogue the entire beta. Just grunts and screams no character dialogue at all. Uninstalled the beta and it didnt work. My settings are also good so no clue why this is happening and why there is no fix or mention of it.

    @Thegamingfoodie @GearsofWar He should’ve died lol game looks like it may have some networking issue BUT the horde mode looks sick, can’t wait to play it next week

    @GearsofWar 2 recommendations from weekend: 1: do not force ray tracing on and give people the option to turn it off because it’s killing frames on pc. I have a 4090 i9 and am averaging around 80 with dlss set to performance. That’s ridiculous. 2: fix hit reg and server delay

    My random thoughts on Gears E-Day Hord, not really gonna list bugs, as I’m sure they’ll be right on that problem first. Really really lovin this game so far. ——————————————— Really not a fan of the power droppin, would rather have auto power on kill. Reavers an other enemies types havin perfect aim trackin is kinda crazy. Torque bow enemies do not charge their shots, they just shoot without any build up, or any good indicator that they’re about to shoot you or a teammate (same feeling with the snipers, besides the small scope glair, that can be pretty hard to notice, when so much stuff will be rushing you, but not as bad, kinda depends on the area of the fight.) Wretches on higher difficulties are kinda eating way too many shots, feels like a little too much, especially when you’ve got so much goin on. Getting a headshots on a base enemy locust, but havin them just go in a downed state at random, is a lil frustrating, not really sure if that’s a bug or on purpose. An of course, I’m sure everyone has been talkin about it. It’s a lil sad and shocking that we don’t got Nade sticking, chainsaw battles, or meat shields, three big things that really made a lot of Gears, “Gears” but I have a feeling they were expecting this, so I’m hoping it will be back on the full games launch. Sucks that a full active reload on a longshot doesn’t guarantee a headshot kill on base locust unit with helmets, that’s kinda just a me thing I’m sure. A little annoying that the, Marksman Scope, Sniper Scope, Tactical Scope, are on locked in zoom only. Shocking the Gnasher feels VERY week, maybe the slug rounds might make it better, but for how week it feels, I almost feel like it won’t. ——————————————— Besides my crap *** rant, that no one will probably see, I’m really loving Gears E-Day so far, an can’t wait for the full release. @GearsofWar #GearsOfWar #GOW #GearsEDay

    @JackFellingX @GearsofWar You should tell them to fix the gameplay. It feels sluggish AF. There are so many problems with the beta and I really want this game to be good.

    @GearsofWar This is the worst beta by far, can't join anything, menu is so broken it just lags all the time, like what the hell is even going on? The only thing that works is boot camp rly

  • CogCouple
    CogCouple (@CogCouple) reported

    Biggest issue personally was the rodie run and right stick movment. felt like these two functions had no syncing at all. The delay between running/shooting/moving seemed so inconsistent and delayed. Almost as if the player is being punished for running or pushing #gearsofwar

  • RoyalDeathClaw
    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

    @CoalitionGears fix the gnasher delay. Work on inconsistent slide recovery frames. There has been a lot of times I've died while behind cover and even a whole wall. Also, why do grenades throws make me feel like I have limp arms? Some climbing spots feel inconsistent as well.
