    @FatalStryke @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Servers Joe, Please!!! I am struggling every single game with connection issues. I know it's mainly me and my internet is bad, but in 2025 even my spotty internet works decently well with all other games, and then there is Gears.

  • Jxffers Adam (@Jxffers) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears You have an issue with Controller Input via Xbox App on PC. Causing your game to lag.... if you switch to MnK then no problem at all.... But major issue on your end with this compatibility. #GearsOfWarReloaded

  • FatalStryke FatalStryke (@FatalStryke) reported

    @Jxffers @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears It included every pvp bug and QoL recommendation I could fit into a one page pdf. They know about the achievement issues already so that wasn't included.

  • PepperoniCobra Nick/Deimos (@PepperoniCobra) reported

    @FatalStryke @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Appreciate the effort but it’ll likely go unread/unanswered they don’t fix ****, probably won’t even open it tbh

  • _KBreaker Kieron “Breaker” 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@_KBreaker) reported

    @FatalStryke @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I hope they listen to it & make the changes needed but being honest I dont see it happening, maybe they fix some minor stuff but not the major fixes needed, still an improvement tho ig, still need to do this type of thing tho in hope they actually do it so props to u & the others

  • AmbientLuckttv Dubby Partner| M3RK|Ambient Luck (@AmbientLuckttv) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears what fix did u bring to the servers because they are still *** and laggy u promoted a choose ur servers pre launch and yet everyone is still on the same server so we all lag u cash grabbing *****

  • King_Contrarian King Contrarian (@King_Contrarian) reported

    @GearsofWar FIX CASUAL TEAM DEATH MATCH MAPS!!! I’ve been playing since the original gears of war since November 2006. The identity of that game was that you had map freedom you had the choice to only play gridlock if you wanted to. You have not captured the identity of the original game when you’re forced to play the map that’s populated randomly before a game begins. Not a single person ever vetoes or votes against the map. I’ve seen gridlock as a map 5% out of 20 matches. Canals the same thing. But I’ve probably played bullet marsh 20% out of 20 games…a DLC map that not a single person would play!! You couldn’t find 10 people to play that map if you search that map up!! But now you want millions of people to play that as a representation of the game!!! You people literally have no ******* idea what you’re doing!!

  • ThatBadGuySylar SylarnatorQc (@ThatBadGuySylar) reported

  • SwaggaSigl ss (@SwaggaSigl) reported

  • SquidHaver . (@SquidHaver) reported

  • MongojrTTV Major Tom (@MongojrTTV) reported

    @CoalitionGears @CrisisTextLine @discord Are you going to fix your game? The gnasher in Gears Reloaded is basically a pop gun then randomly BOOM you get a kill.
