    @XboxP3 hey ******* fix your ******* contract structure so @CoalitionGears can keep their Devs who are essential to the integrity of the Gears of War franchise. You incompetent fools are RUINING an entire franchise and TAKING GOOD PEOPLEs JOBS IN A PANDEMIC! Microsoft is EVIL!

  • CheekieG CheekieGuardian (@CheekieG) reported

    @GearsofWar Hi coalition plz fix your server

  • aodhen_cs Aödhen (@aodhen_cs) reported

    @CoalitionGears This Game is bad maded by first, a lot of problems and issues of all types, i bought this recently by 10e with other Friend Who play all Gears and enjoy them and this is first one that is deplorable, bad servers, bad matchmaking, bad optimization, bugs,etc. The worst!!!

  • MonkeysxMoo35 Stephen (@MonkeysxMoo35) reported

    @haruspis @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar They make stellar single player experiences but the multiplayer has really suffered. Gears 4’s lootboxes were some of the worst in the industry and the DLC plan was total crap. Gears 5 was better, but launched bare bones and didn’t fix a lot of stuff until Operation 4

  • zXxxwe8XfocfiKq ドバム (@zXxxwe8XfocfiKq) reported

    @GearsofWar Worst game mode ever. Hit registration is broken No ammo on the maps execpt for 2 random drops every 80seconds Doesn't get me in the holiday spirit at all. No fun is what this game mode should be called for the sake of God. You guys knows.

  • DetroitSSteele Sean Steele (@DetroitSSteele) reported

    @CoalitionGears all I want for Gearsmas is ONE match with no lag. ONE match. Don’t care if it’s Horde, Escape or Versus. I have Gigablast internet, why do I keep having lag issues?

  • bear_danny19911 Danny (@bear_danny19911) reported

    @AmericanPsychom @GearsofWar All this continues to show is what a clueless awful dev tc are when tdm rounds are taking 20-25 mins coz the boom shot has no splash damage & everyone is having to use melee you know there’s an issue it’s clear tc play test nothing double also isn’t working garbage lol

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears how long will it take to fix that? it takes a long time

  • acowsik Ashwin Cowsik (@acowsik) reported

    @tc_sera @CoalitionGears @danasissons I played a 50 wave horde match on master on Blood Drive and at the end of the match, got an error when fetching results and got no XP or cards for the match. Restarted the game and no luck. Ticket #51539 raised for this issue.

  • ryder4life12 Watchin' Thru Your Window (@ryder4life12) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your game. Game worked fine until the update. I've been stuck on loading act III rocket plan for over 10 mins to the point the music ended. Gears 5 is broken now.

  • SlNEMATIC666 David Scott (@SlNEMATIC666) reported

    @GearsofWar Will there be compensation for the class xp error? Retroactive reward?

  • ElPichi931 Alex Santos 🇺🇸 (@ElPichi931) reported

    @McBiggitty @CoalitionGears It is TERRIBLE online though. So glitchy. I love the content but performance has been awful and my whole team is playing on series x. Constant lag and visual/audio glitches

  • FutureHistory13 Joshua Diaz (@FutureHistory13) reported

    @CoalitionGears Are you guys aware of any jittering gameplay on the series x of Gears 5? Noticed in multiplayer the fps will get jittery. Currently running on a QHD (2560 x 1440) 144hz set the Xbox to 1440p & 60fps. Seems to be only a Gears 5 issue.

  • OGxBL00DYx0M3N CeeJayy (@OGxBL00DYx0M3N) reported

    @GearsofWar Soooooo how about those DLC skins, you gonna fix that too right??? Like we want those!!!

  • zXxxwe8XfocfiKq ドバム (@zXxxwe8XfocfiKq) reported

    @GearsofWar Getting my 30 Mele kill and never playing this for the rest of the holidays. Only there for the free Marcus. So unfortunate that you gotta grind it in a broken playlist.

  • NoLifeDGenerate NoLifeDGenerate (@NoLifeDGenerate) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the damn Versus Events medal progress with Snowball fight, idiots.

  • Jahrgang79 Jahrgang79 (@Jahrgang79) reported

    @GearsofWar Did the Hotfix fix the the lag on purpose and the P2P Connection?

  • Goldengazza Gary Tibbit (@Goldengazza) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Is the snowball fight being so ****, intentional? Or is it broken? I can never tell with you guys...

  • TheMaleTGR A (@TheMaleTGR) reported

    @GearsofWar fix your game will you. Can’t even get online, no one even plays it.

  • TristanAC0 Tristan Coachella (@TristanAC0) reported

    @herbalizer306 @GearsofWar I haven't had any issues. I even played a match of jingle juvies and went up 8 levels.

  • VinZCloRthokey vinz Clortho (@VinZCloRthokey) reported

    @_WECKLESS @CoalitionGears I have some problems with the coverage sistem. When im covered and i shot, i stop shooting and don't cover again. Its new in this (i played every gears and this is the only one that makes me), or some like "bug"? Im trying to reinstall but someone else?

  • BungiePlayer X DT Vergil (@BungiePlayer) reported

    @GearsofWar When because the game hitboxes are stupid as gnasher **** don't register at all. Make aim assist on and off option for people have problem aiming. I don't care I suck but I can't do anything about it. Pvp pro can say whatever. Who care about your get good languages talk. F off.

  • BrickCity96 B r i c k C i t y 9 6 (@BrickCity96) reported

    @TerryHB_ @danasissons @CoalitionGears Is this a repeated problem or a one time incident?

  • Vwxzi_NBL Vwxzi (@Vwxzi_NBL) reported

    @GearsofWar How hard is it to fix the 4xp all the other xp events were fine I don’t get what’s wrong with this one
