  • ShawnGeass Shawn Andrews (@ShawnGeass) reported

    @GearsofWar So many things wrong with gears 5 I hope they somehow fix. Having emotes with cog or locust/swarm dancing is an embarrassment to the franchise. Why is there gears 4 maps in 5 or maps way outdated for that matter. The blood splatter with middle fingers and forza like wtf is that

  • IIxSEEKxII1 IIxSEEKxII (@IIxSEEKxII1) reported

    @PaulLivo @CoalitionGears We had it back when the movement was really really fast. Back when PC literally dominated everything. Now that the game slowed down tremendously, those delays need to be in the game or else you'll have the same issue's we had back then where you die instantly.

  • Loiselle313 Brett Loiselle (@Loiselle313) reported

    @CoalitionGears; I have put in 2 support tickets for the same exact issue involving a double charge of Iron for in game content, and I have YET to be contacted. 1st ticket submitted on February 9. 2nd ticket submitted on May 27. Please get back to me. Thanks in advance.

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    Just played a few matches of CTF on @GearsofWar 5. Sadly the issue with mouse is still the same, and bullet magnetism is still so strong so QP is like playing Onyx level ranked for me. Kind of sad. I just shut it down, gonna go play a game that doesn't force me to use controller.

  • BuggaDmr DMR UGGA BUGGA (@BuggaDmr) reported

    @Bullet15_ @GearsofWar Is that your only response as most of the time it is I'd rather have old characters from older games then older maps as some of those old maps like mercy played horribly in gears 4, and so does gridlock and guess what that has the same issue it did on gears 4 and I gurantee so-

  • Dxniai Matt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@Dxniai) reported

    1 shot down is in the game? @CoalitionGears or is this just a Mercy Glitch or FFA glitch??

  • IrvingBernstein BERNSTEIN (@IrvingBernstein) reported

    @GearsofWar My friend bought "black steel anya" they charged him the money and they didn't give him anything, what a good service! bravo 👏🏻

  • xBLINDEDx21 Mikey G (@xBLINDEDx21) reported

    @CoalitionGears I know I just want this game to work so bad :(There’s no point I think I’m just going to give up they never listen they just keep putting out content no one wants and not addressing lag or connection issues

  • Happy_Pony_ Rude Hoarse (@Happy_Pony_) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix COG Commando voice lines especially the male one is super low, they dont have any death, grunting, hit sounds or retro charge/chainsaw voice lines, also they spam random quotes while shooting like "okay"

  • XRiseWolfsX XRiseWolfsX (@XRiseWolfsX) reported

    @SlNEMATIC666 @MarretaX1 @GearsofWar I would tell you but I don't want anybody getting in trouble so I'm not going to

  • PeteAdida Pete Adida (@PeteAdida) reported

    I’m just tryin to see what Mercy’s like in 2021, can you pls fix Ranked for us? @GearsofWar

  • GAME_B0Y GAME BOY (@GAME_B0Y) reported

    @CoalitionGears @CoalitionGears My purchase went through for Black Steel Anya (got PayPal notification) but an error popped up. I did hard reset of console. Nothing yet. ETA on her deployment? Thanks for bringing Black Steel characters back into Gears multiplayer.

  • avan89zw crowheartAP (@avan89zw) reported

    @GearsEsports @GearsofWar @XboxSupport I bought the esports Anya an error happened so I did not get the skin but it takes the money ( can I get my money back ) pls don’t scam my Xbox name is CrowHeartAP

  • temz92758163 tempz (@temz92758163) reported

    @GearsofWar How come you’re unable to fix the store , so ppl who buy stuff actually get it the moment they bought it and not hours later ? Not very professional

  • xBLINDEDx21 Mikey G (@xBLINDEDx21) reported

    @CoalitionGears Please fix the gnasher.I literally Can’t one shot kill anyone anymore I either get 78%87%91%97%and99% 1 hit I’m so tired of it I’m literally to the point where I refuse to try to one shot kill someone with the shotty It’s so bad now it takes 6 shots to down :(

  • Will_B45 William Bennett (@Will_B45) reported

    @CoalitionGears Give latam kids a server just for them. These triple and sometimes quadruple digit ping kids are toxic as **** and the lag they bring kills the game.

  • CapObviousN7 Captain Obvious N7 (@CapObviousN7) reported

    @GearsofWar When will you finally fix the bug with the eternal loading screen?

  • Trizzzx_ tej (@Trizzzx_) reported

    @GearsofWar All the glitches and problems y’all have on gears i NEVER have lol ever only thing i be complaining about is i want more executions

  • Happy_Pony_ Rude Hoarse (@Happy_Pony_) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny Male commando has broken voice lines, he talk randomly while shooting or doing anything, also he dont make any grunt or death noises...and why he sounds like Vermelho cousin? it better be placeholder voicelines because it doesnt fit the character role

  • ZMackDaddyG Zach McGillis (@ZMackDaddyG) reported

    @GearsofWar Still having issues getting on. Anyone else?

  • IrvingBernstein BERNSTEIN (@IrvingBernstein) reported

    @GearsofWar My friend bought "black steel anya" the game charged him the money and they didn't give him anything, what a good service 👏🏻

  • Adrin95179190 Adrián (@Adrin95179190) reported

    @Jakepreston717 @Noelle_stan @GearsofWar Always wait 2-3 hours when some Black Steel character comes out, always the servers crash so bad with that characters, even more than the Chrome steel

  • BuggaDmr DMR UGGA BUGGA (@BuggaDmr) reported

    @Xanthicirs @Bullet15_ @GearsofWar Mikayala is fine really got no problem with her I just find these recent characters boring to listen to and not creative with the commandos.

  • Will_B45 William Bennett (@Will_B45) reported

    @xBLINDEDx21 @CoalitionGears I have the same problem, my ping is almost always at a 1 but just like the little signal bars in cod that isn't an accurate representation of your ping. If you're at a 1 like me more than likely you're actually at like 22 or so. You can test ping in the console settings.

  • _Xcentrique X (@_Xcentrique) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny @tc_sera the same “internal issue” leading to being charged for the Black Steel skin and not receiving is affecting players for the third time in a row now. Please find a permanent solution for this. This time I even waited 20 minutes until after testing was completed

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @IIxSEEKxII1 @CoalitionGears Shot delay was added early this year, it's already been played and isn't terrible. Once shot delay was added, it's removed the fun for many people. It was added to mitigate the Air Back A because some people complained, but it broke much more than just that 1 "issue"

  • Themadn1nja Joshua (@Themadn1nja) reported

    @CoalitionGears No point in complaining about the game it's obviously broken and it has alot of people worried about gear's 6. I for one am not looking forward to gear's 6 when they can't get this game to work correctly

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @IIxSEEKxII1 @CoalitionGears But this is a crossplay discussion. I feel like you're trying to say that games can't progress because they must remain limited due to people choosing to play on old generation hardware. Do you see the limitation issue that creates? When do games decide it's time to progress?

  • DezHarper Dez Harper (@DezHarper) reported

    @guard7303 @GearsofWar I thought it was an error so I did it again and realized it was taken out twice. 😭

  • Bullet15_ Bullet (@Bullet15_) reported

    @BuggaDmr @GearsofWar You want characters, and then more characters, and more characters, and more and more, you people are never satisfied. Gears 3 wasn’t treated as a live service and that game had a consistent player base years after its release.
