    @CoalitionGears You don't fix ****,it's been 3 months since I started having the same issue of me getting kicked out of matches,I'd love to blame it on my internet connection but gears is the only game where I have this stupid problem

  • SplitgateGaming Splitgate - Season 0 ✷ (@SplitgateGaming) reported

    @ProGear360 @GearsofWar Yea people always argue keyboard problems controller. To me video games are meant for a controller and computer is meant for typing words. Funny cuz you have games where people say “ he’s on keyboard mouse that’s why “ and then some kids saying on computer “ he’s got auto aim “

  • blessthiscurse TheDarkKnight117 (@blessthiscurse) reported

    @CoalitionGears Any chance y’all can fix the issue with the AI Bots in the campaign? It’s HORRIBLE!

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    The lag and sponging in #Gears5 is horrendous! No competitive shooter should be this bad especially a #Microsoft game! There is no excuse to have lag this bad in any game in 2021! Come on @CoalitionGears you are really bad and ruined the Gears franchise!

  • ShiiniGhamy 𝖑𝕿𝖍𝖊𝕴𝖓𝖋𝖆𝖒𝖔𝖚𝖘𝖑🇫🇷 (@ShiiniGhamy) reported

    @JustinRueckert @GearsofWar Breach shot is available on Pub and custom but imho having this weapon on ranked matchs its a BAD idea at all. This weapon is too damn broken.

  • Pow_Purple_Goat Goat (@Pow_Purple_Goat) reported

    @GearsofWar Anyone else having trouble with the xp boost not working?

  • Matthew86210824 Bando 🔪🇵🇷 (@Matthew86210824) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears 5xp is broken after update today pls fix

  • ProGear360 GEAR (COMISSIONS OPEN) (@ProGear360) reported

    @SplitgateGaming @GearsofWar Ah, I never had a problem with my Elite, I even used it when moving to PC. Was great to have those extra maps while I got used to KB&M

  • _Xcentrique X (@_Xcentrique) reported

    Thinking about the fact that the weapon set issue still hasn’t been fixed, and it’s been a full day since yesterday’s update! @Community_Gears @GearsofWar

  • barnabys94 Barnaby • 🤦‍♂️ (@barnabys94) reported

    @GearsofWar @Community_Gears Well there’s no 5x XP now. Can you fix this plz!

  • Kal1bur_G Kal1bur G (@Kal1bur_G) reported

    @ThatsLeviathan @Filthierich @PezRadar can either of you confirm this is the sound/lag fix

  • rubenlozano614 Ruben (@rubenlozano614) reported

    @aarondamron1988 @GearsofWar True but only because epic did well with it then cucked it. Then freakin tc just had its way with the franchise like a toddler at playtime. Still. Any dev is better than tc’s doubling back, fixing things until their broken, and mind games with the community that wants to care

  • BMinoty Ben Minoty (@BMinoty) reported

    @GearsofWar 5 still can’t fix the same glitches they’ve had since it came out is beyond me. Bring back Cliffy B

  • dgunn15321532 FourGunnsFrom1 (@dgunn15321532) reported

    @SplitgateGaming @GearsofWar You too good is the problem

  • TerryHB_ Terry (@TerryHB_) reported

    @PaulLivo @GearsofWar The issue is that support for the game dropped right as soon drop 5 content was finished, the team is small and papi MS have them on other projects. It's a shame since if the game had the same amount of people who worked on op 5 it would be in a much better position

  • THEHEROFALL5 Brendan (@THEHEROFALL5) reported

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Does anyone knows what they mean by service upgrade

  • slayer_irish 🤔 (@slayer_irish) reported

    Fix your trash servers you triple A bums! The @CoalitionGears is a disgrace

  • Soundwave_GI SOUNDWAVE GI (@Soundwave_GI) reported

    @GearsofWar please fix your matchmaking penalty. Before a match, If I want to quit when the maps available are all trash, collect stats. If your matchmaking drops my squad member on 2v2 and I try to drop, don’t penalize me. Look inward.

  • PandaSenpa1 Roy Keane (@PandaSenpa1) reported

    @PaulLivo @GearsofWar I know you mean well but shot delay isn’t the only important thing. There’s bugs, lack of content, broken screen difference, huge chunk range & so on… There’s bigger things to think about, like I just mentioned

  • imthatfish Mr.Pickerel (@imthatfish) reported

    @thegameawards @GearsofWar @XboxP3 Been playing it since the beta and It’s still hot ******* trash 🗑 I enjoy it but damn the disconnect between The Coalition and it’s community is terrible

  • BarsTheHippie ㄣ⃒ BARSTHEHiPPiE ㄣ⃒ (@BarsTheHippie) reported

    Fix Your Game @GearsofWar 99% Every Time And No Down, Explain.

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears I've shown you guys the issue of broken adhesion on mouse. It doesn't matter how late in Gears cycle it is. This is unacceptable, compounded by the fact Gears 6 is nowhere in sight. It HAS to be fixed. Don't keep forsaking traditional PC players.

  • gow2lostplayer1 alex (@gow2lostplayer1) reported

    I tried doing this glitch ages ago, and I couldn't ever do it. This campaign is filled with soooo many places to explore and see D: ! I tried "ABOUT A WEEK AGO" to do this, and I was able to :D ! I'm not the first either. Marcus/Dom skin combined when 👀 ? #GearsofWar
