    @GearsofWar Bring back King of the Hill and fix the damage it takes to finish a downed enemy pls.

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @SlNEMATIC666 @GearsofWar @Covyyyy This is bugged and we're working on a fix!

  • Tyr_Fadir Zach (@Tyr_Fadir) reported

    @MF_Dunn_ @Xanthicirs @GearsofWar Absolutely agree, these rewards should be milestone earned not no life rewards. The main issue I'm having is matchmaking, most days we can go without finding matches in comp at all, we have moved on to another game, got over the wait times.

  • HigulzDaPro Oscar Ponce (@HigulzDaPro) reported

    @GearsofWar Now fix the bug that kicks you to main menu when you are in a friend lobby and you cant vote map or change character in matchmaking

  • SlNEMATIC666 David Scott (@SlNEMATIC666) reported

    @GearsofWar @Covyyyy @TC_Shauny Can we get a fix for the Marksman class? Lambent don’t show up when using the ultimate

  • TheOfficalTempz Tempz (@TheOfficalTempz) reported

    @FenixMurda @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears I use a controller that has a broken b button I need an option in game that only lets me play with other players that also have a broken b button

  • ICEAID09 VnG IC3 (@ICEAID09) reported

    @GearsofWar Yall need to fix your game, not once ever have i gotten banned, I'm a casual player. Can someone explain why I got a 5 day ban

  • HoodieNic Nicko Mode (@HoodieNic) reported

    @InfamouzOpinion @CoalitionGears I’m really late but I’m guessing you either didn’t read the thread or you haven’t played Gears 3 in a while. The Gears 3/J servers went down about a year ago. Meaning all balancing / weapon placements were set to launch settings (ink stuns etc). All they did was fix that.

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears So you see the issue as well? Not sure if it's my TV or what, as I followed HDR setup correctly. Using game mode as well on my X900H and those settings are good.

  • FenixMurda Scott Fenix (@FenixMurda) reported

    @TheOfficalTempz @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The player pop isn't great with or without crossplay. The problem is the ranking system itself. After the update you could find games in seconds. After the patch even with crossplay ppl still waiting 5 to 50min for a ranked match. They have a broken ranked matchmaking system.

  • ZiiTwitch Z I I (@ZiiTwitch) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The games finished in a few weeks time anyway, it wont stop quitting, it wont stop stacks and it won't make it any less frustrating. League has a surrender vote, it's still awful being "locked in" except now, there is a surrender culture being built. The issue is TC's MM.

  • VulkanMaxGow VulkanMax (@VulkanMaxGow) reported

    @Chris_J77 @REDY0TA @GearsofWar Its like going down with the ship. There's no dishonor with that. If you have a problem, go play games you enjoy and let people Enjoy the games they play.

  • KowaleskiJordan Jordan Kowaleski (@KowaleskiJordan) reported

    @GearsofWar @tc_sera Another note. Clean ur hands before you release this update. Your tc ***** hands creates alot of problems lol.

  • TheOfficalTempz Tempz (@TheOfficalTempz) reported

    @FenixMurda @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The console players are the problem

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @Voxelsaurus_Vex @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears Poor customer service.

  • Joelopz1 Spartan (@Joelopz1) reported

    @GearsofWar so the game crashes on Pc halfway thru the match, then I’m penalized because the match I was on ended. Then I have to play quick match. Wow, instead of putting resources on copy and paste maps, fix the Pc side of the game maybe less crashing for once

  • skepplesays skepple (@skepplesays) reported

    @xWarPlays @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Possibly a system issue, I haven't had any bugs in gears 5 since op3

  • Yaboikojo Logan Roberts (@Yaboikojo) reported

    @GearsofWar How do I fix PESANG??

  • JFlexys YGP 7 (@JFlexys) reported

    @DanjoskrA @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears Agreed with Crisp. 4v3's definetely are winnable as I've lost them before in my favor and won some. The issue was your team was just clearly outmatched. Even with the player not quitting, it still would've been a wash most likely. Stacking vs solos is where the real issue stands.

  • Luckyshot117 Ethan (@Luckyshot117) reported

    @GearsofWar Okay but why is my gears 5 not working?

  • skepplesays skepple (@skepplesays) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears I played 1 control game and there was a quitter, guardian doesn't seem to have the same issue as much as disconnect/reconnect, not many quit

  • EDWARDTING3 EDWARDTING (@EDWARDTING3) reported

    @Malrx4 @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny The problem is no they are in pc, the problem is that they are full squad and that is so bad play against full squads vs not full squads cause serie X have 120 fps too and can play with mouse and controller and have same options of PC

  • PhoenixKa1 PhoenixKai (@PhoenixKa1) reported

    @Voxelsaurus_Vex @MeegletheWeegle @CoalitionGears Rung for about 2 and a half weeks now, they're not going to be any help unfortunately. I'm beyond pissed, when I buy a product I expect it to work as it should. If it doesn't, then I expect good customer service, especially if it's under warranty.

  • JoeyCollado2 Joseph (@JoeyCollado2) reported

    @GearsofWar Yeah whatever you did to the hit boxes operation 7 fix them now because point blanks with the shot gun dont always kill and its bullshit. Sorry not sorry, fix your game before people leave

  • ADonaWave AD On A Wave 🌊 (@ADonaWave) reported from Fort Worth, Texas

    @xWarPlays @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I’ve never had this problem before ..

  • ICEAID09 VnG IC3 (@ICEAID09) reported
