    @IGuessVro @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Personally I think that a company who players pay millions to in order to access a game, should have the full responsibility of ensuring the quality and integrity of the product is adequate I believe they should work in conjunction with xbox enforcement to ban people who are cheating, whilst simultaneously finding ways to prevent the issue reoccurring As you mentioned TOS, you're totally correct. I'll flip that and view it as a consumer. We pay a continuous subscription to access these services. I expect it to be maintained sufficiently whilst it's still part of what's available with my subscription payments every month (either GP or XBL). I don't know how the TOS covers this, but legally, consumer protection laws exist and laws supersede TOS, so I'd imagine that on some level, our services should be usable in a way that's expected upon purchase Imagine paying a Netflix subscription, being half way through a film and finding that some dude has put a random video overlay on it from outside of the company. It'd ruin your experience and you'd expect Netflix to sort it out because you paid for it. I don't see why people view gaming any differently

  • PaulLivo HvNz Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @GearsofWar I think that a good action for you to take is to remove the crossplay toggle and sort out the cheating issue

  • JipperyMcCloud Wilds Mac (@JipperyMcCloud) reported

    @JackFellingX @GearsofWar I’d imagine the second remastered version of the OG Gears game being released can only mean one thing. People are about to sign in on their Xbox, PC, or PlayStation, and about to realize what it means to go out in the battlefield and absolutely #getjipped over and over again.

    @GearsofWar Fix Gears UE for Windows 10 Achievements pls

  • Pittski Alex (@Pittski) reported

    @GearsofWar the sniper registration issues?

  • KryptSet Kryptset (@KryptSet) reported

    @GearsofWar Nothing about sniper registrations issue? Also should make weapon sliding not a glitch so people can slide on LAN…..

  • Illussives HvNz Illussives (@Illussives) reported

    @GEARSHEAD84 @gloomygow @GearsofWar I dont see studios doing optional crossplay what other studios are doing that go on I wanna know really. The community has told TC to fix their EAC. Generally at launch the easy anti cheat generally works up until the game gets no support.

  • IGuessVro TabulaWitdaRuler (@IGuessVro) reported

    @PaulLivo @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar I hear you but Netflix isn’t having these issues of trying to add shows bypass things but I can say people still get free subscriptions etc but overall if you’re playing a rate m game like gears you should be respectful of all things being done so we can always get a better game

  • PaulLivo HvNz Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @IGuessVro @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar The cheating issues would not be a factor if the company configured the player synchronising to download server files rather than read from local files Doing so would make the JSON files we're seeing people using totally irrelevant as it wouldn't impact the game whatsoever For some reason, the company haven't addressed this yet, nor have I seen them acknowledging it. This creates a perception from console players that the issue will persist and thus makes them want to avoid an entire platform of players just because of an issue that needs fixing I view that as a blame split of - - community 50% - company 50%

  • Punk_N_Pi3 Punk (@Punk_N_Pi3) reported

    @iiTzRichie @GearsofWar I'll be playing on PC for the first time, what's the issues :/

  • FatalStryke FatalStryke (@FatalStryke) reported

    @GearsofWar Any improvements for the alternate control scheme? The current alternate issues are 1. Roadie run input paddle delay 2. Point of interest with pressing in the right thumbstick needs option to turn it off in settings. 3. We need to remap curbstomp off of R3 so R3 is only zoom in.

  • ErroRMACro_MK MK (@ErroRMACro_MK) reported

    @GearsofWar I have the game on Xbox but I play on PC. I hate the Xbox app so much, it has a lot of problems, unexpected closures, it doesn't start. Is there a way to get a Steam key without having to pay for the same game again?

  • epiconyxfreak1 Enemy Onyx (@epiconyxfreak1) reported

    @IGuessVro @GearsofWar yes. however, some issues from the beta can still be transferred to the whole game itself

    @PaulLivo The company isn’t the issue it the players not allowing other players to play in certain lobbies when everyone was trash at the game at one point @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar

    @SkooTa_Da_Goon @TerryHB_ @GearsofWar I like fov options but if they remake a game leave it default no changes unless something is super broken

  • GEARSHEAD84 Rock (@GEARSHEAD84) reported

    @Illussives @gloomygow @GearsofWar A lot of studios are doing optional crossplay for a reason. If you can’t see the problem that’s on you second I believe people should have a choice in stuff like this cause most people in the gaming community not just gears don’t not enjoy crossplay cause of the cheating.

  • wenbrethescapes 🍊 (@wenbrethescapes) reported

    @GearsofWar no stun fix? same lame ugly 2 piece mechanics?

  • GEARSHEAD84 Rock (@GEARSHEAD84) reported

    @Illussives @gloomygow @GearsofWar Yea cause people only remember the negative and never the good. No matter how good they do people will always slander them and when they do wrong and fix it people still don’t care. From Black tusk to TC they did more good then bad

  • Illussives HvNz Illussives (@Illussives) reported

    @GEARSHEAD84 @gloomygow @GearsofWar and competent devs will work their way to solve it, now granted TC has a lot of the community slamming them rightfully cause of their competence but even a broken clock is right twice a day when it comes to fixing ****.

  • pedrito_37 jm (@pedrito_37) reported

    @CWill999 @GearsofWar You’re silly. I don’t have any issues when I play on mouse and keyboard. And that’s my whole point, mouse sensitivity ain’t limited at all, and on controller you gotta wait 5 business days to turn around.

  • 9_dou_ クードウ (@9_dou_) reported

    @GearsofWar Are there any plans to address the issue where Gears 5 cannot be installed within the game and an error occurs every time?

  • itsarcher91_ Aaron (@itsarcher91_) reported

    @Andyk142870 @TommyyRAWR @GearsofWar It really isn’t a had somebody just stood still aimed on their head and it didn’t register as a headshot it was broken in beta

  • GEARSHEAD84 Rock (@GEARSHEAD84) reported

    @Illussives @gloomygow @GearsofWar From hard cheat that are easily banned to soft cheats that are extremely hard to detect. It’s vary to counter cause there a lot ways around even the best anti cheat. I atleast don’t have a problem with pc players but unfortunately the amount of pc players using undetectable
