    @CoalitionGears Fix the guns too weapons should be the same no matter the mode

  • OddMonchi34 M.A. Roach the Coach (@OddMonchi34) reported

    @GearsofWar Can you fix your multiplayer? Why is every match against a sweaty squad when playing alone? I stopped playing just because it's gotten to the point that it's ridiculous and no longer enjoyable. These 4 player squads are usually toxic too.

  • Tokjanggut18878 Tokjanggut (@Tokjanggut18878) reported

    @CoalitionGears The console shutting off on its own when playing gear 5 less 30 minutes ... I've reinstalled 5 times and factory reset 6 times but it still doesn't solve the problem ... Other games can be played and there are no issues

  • Vudu_Q Vudu (@Vudu_Q) reported

    @generation_iv_ @Mattdrenaline @CoalitionGears Those issues have existed in every Gears game in history. That's due to latency problems. When you decide to go for one shots every time instead of playing for damage in a two shot down game then that's what you get. The gib range shouldn't be further just for you though.

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar It's a player base issue

  • Euden Ben Euden (@Euden) reported

    Anyone have any issues with @xboxuk @Xbox quick resume feature? 🤔 Gears of War 4 is having a hard time with it, appears to crash to the dashboard almost every time I resume after leaving it overnight. @CoalitionGears #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

    @CoalitionGears when trying to play gears 4, I can't pass from the menu, it says they got me back to the main title screen,it has been a change of status, how can I fix it without installing the game again?

  • ChillinRich16 Rich is Chillin (@ChillinRich16) reported

    Gotta hate how @CoalitionGears made gears. The people with actual skill are punished due to inconsistency and bullet magnetism. Not to mention the lag compensation to where I get shot through a wall it seems. Bruh gears... what happened

  • GearsAbove Admiral Elite (@GearsAbove) reported

    @CoalitionGears Revert the tuning omg this game is so terrible it’s literally just bot walking no skill at all please fix this l know hundreds of players personally that have quit for this reason myself included

  • Themadn1nja Joshua (@Themadn1nja) reported

    @Mattdrenaline @CoalitionGears Good luck getting them to fix anything on this game and this has me worried about gear's 6 with the lack of effort and fixes they put in this game. If i had to rate gear's 5 i would rate it 4 out of 10

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @lisa_young21 @CoalitionGears Hey there, can you try a different browser and see if the same issue happens?

  • generation_iv_ IV (@generation_iv_) reported

    Anyone else having issues with party chat or Gears Servers? @CoalitionGears @XboxSupport

  • Moy57098533 !Moy PlnchZ (@Moy57098533) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar TC shauny, I'm talking to you because I have a problem with gears 5, since I always play fast or ranked games, it expels me from the game and every so often it blocks me from ranked, so I can't play, verify that it was not my internet , and it is not.

  • Elhomie1st wero (@Elhomie1st) reported

    @CoalitionGears They can fix your game's matchmaking wrong or they will also leave it for another game?

  • aidanthephoenix Aidan the Phoenix (@aidanthephoenix) reported

    @TerryHB_ @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Ue on xbox and pc just needs crossplay and to fix the smoke glitch (people seeing through smoke on their screen, which needs to be impossible) and it would be so much better.
