  • StefanMarinello Stefan Marinello (@StefanMarinello) reported

    @GearsofWar can you guys please fix the issue of gears kicking everyone out of the game due to “connection” and I end up getting banned.

  • Cojack214 LTGG l cojack214 (@Cojack214) reported

    @Fr4gs__ @BiigRedBeard @GearsofWar Did they fix it because when i last played (when it first came out) i would win and be top leader board but if i didnt beat a average it would drop me so it was hard to move toward but I’d be down to play

  • C23753356 C (@C23753356) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can you fix gears 5 horde it's kinda changing the original gears feel good job on gears tactics tho

  • RussianVinter RussianVVinter (@RussianVinter) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @MrCaymanian @GearsofWar Shame is it probably won't and it'll be back on the flame train for people while the devs keep trying to service as best as they can given the circumstances. Still, what we got, and whats possibly on the horizon seem bright and looking forward to it regardless

  • dgrlas AntonRX50 (@dgrlas) reported

    @CoalitionGears your game is broken. Please fix king of the hill on quick play. There are major team balancing issues and please fix the problem where the game gives players losses when a match doesn’t even start.

  • RmY2410 RMY (@RmY2410) reported

    @AShinyRayquaza @ff_thee @GearsofWar Vday sam is a skin , i was talking about characters , the base Sam character (armored sam) is earnable even if you don't buy the bundle If you can't distinguish skins from characters that's your problem

  • Lauxide lauxide. 🇮🇪 (@Lauxide) reported

    @RobArctic @danasissons @CoalitionGears Thats mad, I think it may be a PC problem. I always found games in less that 5 minutes. I reckon its because people play with cross platform off?.

  • belgianplayer1 Belgianplayer1 (@belgianplayer1) reported

    @GearsofWar weekly hive? fix for xp needed for re-ups? bugs in escape and horde, fix the horde/escape glitch to run master on beginner difficulty?

  • bear_danny19911 Danny (@bear_danny19911) reported

    @SASxSH4DOWZ @TrueTrueCore @GearsofWar Not gonna happen the problem gears 5 has is no interesting enemy variation deebees drones grenadiers all play same dr1s & scions are also the exact same there’s also no mini boss style enemies to play as except the warden & how do you balance him when he has one weak spot

  • TGSimon_ Simon (@TGSimon_) reported

    @LukeVexT @danasissons @CoalitionGears i had issue Joining games yesterday, kept getting kicked out

  • SaddlerWard Saddler Ward (@SaddlerWard) reported

    How @GearsofWar gonna ban people for lagging out? I’ve never lagged out of a ranked match before, but tonight it happened and they trying to make me play a certain amount of Quick play matches. Just doesn’t seem like fun, and I thought that’s what video games should be.#Gears5

  • DrunkJug CG (@DrunkJug) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your ducking g game. Pull the trigger nothing happens. The shooter that doesn’t shoot. Amazing.

  • LukeVexT LukeVexT I HvNz VexT (@LukeVexT) reported

    @danasissons @CoalitionGears I can't connect to the servers on my PC. Constantly getting the 'ESTANA' error code. The PC is connected to the Internet, I've reinstalled Gears and it's still happening. Any help?

  • belgianplayer1 Belgianplayer1 (@belgianplayer1) reported

  • NatureBoiKei1 natureboi_kei (@NatureBoiKei1) reported

    @GearsofWar holy **** ping under 10 , great connection no lag on any game but this piece of **** 😞 can’t go a couple games without being kicked out the match so ******* annoying I sent like 1000 messages to support they not supporting tired of playing quick bullshit

  • dgrlas AntonRX50 (@dgrlas) reported

    @CoalitionGears @BazXML The original Campaign has a freezing glitch in the cutscenes.

  • SAEliteHunter SA Elite Hunter (@SAEliteHunter) reported

    @Zenmaster718 @GearsofWar Bro I withdrew what I said! This class is terribly useless when your enemies have 2.5X health + modifiers. Even the 10X damage isn’t powerful enough! When you died. You restart with nothing, and not enough powers to build or to buy anything! And, the problem of quitting teammates

  • Gr8saiyaman88 Miguel🎄 (@Gr8saiyaman88) reported

    Sorry but as much as I enjoyed Gears Tactics, it's hard to recommend 100% when a glitch that FREEZES my XSX on the last boss prevents me from beating the game. Same thing after playing until that exact turn during Hydra's 3rd phase, ugh @CoalitionGears @splashdamage @XboxSupport

  • Acruz301 Acruz🐝 (@Acruz301) reported

    @CoalitionGears @RodFergusson Can you guys seriously fix your game? Other than the many issues this game has, my friend got banned from rank cause of a fatal bug you guys have. I would make a support ticket but I'm not seeing any resources for that either.

  • IanCutress 𝐷𝑟. 𝐼𝑎𝑛 𝐶𝑢𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠 (@IanCutress) reported

    Oh this is fun. @CoalitionGears Gears Tactics throws up an error screen if the mouse/keyboard disconnect. I'm trying to benchmark across multiple systems with a KVM here, of course there's not going to be mouse/keyboard disconnected!

  • ILYJvmes ✨ スペース (@ILYJvmes) reported

    @Viggora @danasissons @CoalitionGears yes but still, i know every gears is like this but there’s gotta be a way to fix the inconsistency in the damages, it’s so lame

  • AnimeViking138 Nerdic Mythologies (@AnimeViking138) reported

    @GearsofWar idk if yall are aware of the issue with the wakaatu glitching out of horde. It's the 2nd time it has happened to us since it's release.

  • Bealieuboy3 Beaulieuboy3 🎮🕹 (@Bealieuboy3) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar @XboxSupport That's great it did the campaign achievements but I reset my progress for the upgrades and kills with lahnis ult. Is there a way to fix this issue?

  • Shura30_ shura30 (@Shura30_) reported

    @LukeVexT @danasissons @CoalitionGears what's the message?try another account..I've had the same problem in the past and had to literally spam twitter to get a reply..then after a few months I got asked via mail if I still had the issue

  • Deadmau5isabau5 James Quigley (@Deadmau5isabau5) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can someone at Coalition explain to me how my situation makes any sense. I pay 100$ for a poorly made title (the first operation release I mean, the amount of bugs and issues at launch were innumerable).

  • Acruz301 Acruz🐝 (@Acruz301) reported

    @CoalitionGears Can you guys seriously fix your game? On top of the shitty issues this game has, my friend got a fatal error during a ranked game and got banned because of an issue your game had. I would write a support ticket, but I don't see any resources for that either

  • Cojack214 LTGG l cojack214 (@Cojack214) reported

    @BiigRedBeard @GearsofWar @Fr4gs__ Always had fun playing but when i tried to do the rank system it was just broken

  • Bouncinx Licked x (@Bouncinx) reported

    Why is it that every ******* ranked KOTH I play, someone quits & too top it off people on the other team are *************** out of 3 of us & not capping the hill? How is there not a 20 minute time limit on a round of KOTH how pathetic Fix your game! @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar

  • W292431 Gears fan (@W292431) reported

    @CoalitionGears My gears 5 game has crashed twice and both times I've been banned from ranked because of it. Can you please fix your moderation.
