  • FatalStryke FatalStryke (@FatalStryke) reported

    These are the maps confirmed in the @GearsofWar reloaded beta. Weekend 1 Gridlock Gold Rush Raven Down Weekend 2 Canals War Machine Courtyard All of these maps have the least amount of programming issues in the 2015 version of Gears ue. I was really hoping we'd get clocktower

  • KeiferStreet Keifer Street (@KeiferStreet) reported

    @PezRadar the Challenge Rift Cache is bugged on Xbox again. It cannot be claimed, so horrible for season start / completing Alter of Rights. I switched to my PS5 and it works fine, but I prefer the controllers on my Xbox. Can we please get a fix for this? It’s been like this for at least three years on Xbox for week 1

  • TheNecromi The Necromi (@TheNecromi) reported

    @CohhCarnage @PezRadar Sure hope stream snipers dont become an issue!

  • Krazpc KRAZ 🦁 (@Krazpc) reported

    @FatalStryke @GearsofWar Honesty I think the shits cooked, another missed opportunity from TC, still a little hope for stuff like exe 2.0, bunch of questions left unanswered, clock tower on line, power weapon balance, actives ? Pistol to shotgun glitch,

  • zylexy0 Nate Higgers 🗣️ (@zylexy0) reported

    @GearsofWar FIX THR ******* U.E Servers !!!

  • nicolomirra Insa (@nicolomirra) reported

    @GearsofWar can't wait!! but please fix the lag!!

  • MetalheadDav3 DB metalhead (@MetalheadDav3) reported

    @FatalStryke @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears No need for new maps no need for more game modes and definitely no need for ****** bs broken useless garbage new gears stick with originality

  • Angelthagodz A$AP Angel (@Angelthagodz) reported

    @ShyyyyH @GearsofWar I know thats the problem they forgot that they were not family friendly before they forgot who they used to be. They changed because of Fortnite.💀

  • FatalStryke FatalStryke (@FatalStryke) reported

    @nickomode @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears Obviously not a new game. At the very least fix the issues in #4 and add the ring for exe 2.0 to prevent exe stalemates. 2015 UE had very lazy programming with the cover interactions.

  • FerociousWraith TheFiendFW (@FerociousWraith) reported

    @GearsofWar PSN servers were having trouble connecting it seemed

  • Selaflaffy Sela (@Selaflaffy) reported

    @FabioBalarini @PezRadar Those are just optimization, memory leaks are a common beta problem

  • BloodMillas Blud Millas (@BloodMillas) reported

    @GearsofWar Please please please fix the Gnasher hit register. I have had multiple scenarios where I've dumped an active and two more shots into someone and they just insta gib me

  • Stoutimous Stoutimous (@Stoutimous) reported

    @PezRadar @FriendlySpatula FYI, I missed the first Ashava event during the Closed Beta, due to signing in 5-10 minutes before the event started and received no notification along with no guidance on where to go. I was confused on what to do. Next time around I had no issues, with advice from other players.

  • Patriots8712222 Patriots871222 (@Patriots8712222) reported

    @QBZ24 @MysticVods @GearsofWar This beta got worse this weekend this is the worst shotgun I have seen in a gears of war game and I knew I wasn’t Trippin when I shot my long shot I really hope TC fixes this problems with gears reloaded because it could be better than ultimate edition I guess we will see lol

  • skyzerr1 skyzerr (@skyzerr1) reported

    @SantiTech_ @GearsofWar Exactly if they don’t fix gnasher it’s definitely terrible idea to bring gears to ps players

  • Killerpanda1991 Jerry Velez (@Killerpanda1991) reported

    @CoalitionGears please fix your hit detection with the Gnasher everytime I hit some point blank or 2 feet away it does nothing & I'm dealing with a lot of lag & rubber banding

  • BryUnchained BryUnchained (@BryUnchained) reported

    @Hasselpoof @PezRadar This was a problem for me in the past betas. I knew before the battle even started that we were going to lose.

  • SolitarySoulGmr SolitarySoul (@SolitarySoulGmr) reported

    @Aoshi_Uematsu @GearsofWar Is it broken?

  • DenisTRUFFAUT Denis TRUFFAUT ⭐️ (@DenisTRUFFAUT) reported

    @PezRadar Clicking on topic's title doesn't work. Users are forced to click next to the title to open the topic. This is annoying. The fix seems simple. In CSS, add " pointer-events: none; " to the title: Instead of intercepting the click and do nothing, click will pass through & go below.

  • TheActivistOBT 𝑶.𝑩. 𝑻𝒚𝒏𝒆𝒔 🇺🇸 (@TheActivistOBT) reported

    @PTGBrains @GearsofWar I got the same problem, but haven’t had an Xbox since the 360. Lol. Shame.

  • Anjunabeats80 V (@Anjunabeats80) reported

    @QBZ24 @GearsofWar They aint gonna fix 💩 ! Just adapt to the mess that is gears of war og or go play something else!

  • Mastifion Mastif (@Mastifion) reported

    @GearsofWar 2 month wait? Whys it so long? But anyway literally just fix the inconsistent weapons. N this game will be golden.

  • YM7_786 YM7 (@YM7_786) reported

    @GearsofWar Wanted to know if on PlayStation when you load onto gears will there be option to sign in with your Xbox account through Microsoft like they did with forza on PlayStation I think most people would like that to use old gamertag if that’s added anyone knows pls let me know.

  • squaresofter1 squaresofter (@squaresofter1) reported

    @GearsofWar Any chance of fixing broken mix it up achievement in Gears of war ultimate edition windows 10 or is gow UE titled reloaded this time not legacy title anymore?

  • itsarcher91_ Aaron (@itsarcher91_) reported

    @DaedraWalker @QBZ24 @GearsofWar Don’t blame latency because I headshot somebody who was stood still hard aiming at centre ring in koth on canals and it didn’t register as a headshot stop defending a game that’s clearly broken.

  • YM7_786 YM7 (@YM7_786) reported

    @retrozoid_ @GearsofWar I was trying to figure something out had a question to ask could we login with our Microsoft account under Xbox gamertag when we load into gears on PlayStation like use our Xbox account via Microsoft login like they did with forza on PlayStation.

  • meyerpark meyerpark🔜TXS2025🔜Switch2ExperienceDAL🔜EVO2025 (@meyerpark) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix the Gears of War 2 Xbox 360 Photo Spectator upload server for that achievement. Xbox has backwards compatible Gears of War for a reason

  • RJRenyth Renyth (@RJRenyth) reported

    @GearsofWar *Announces Cross platform* "You can get in alot of trouble for doing this..." "Not anymore things have changed!" Okay that got a chuckle out of me

  • ThingsR65888 ThingsToRead (@ThingsR65888) reported

    @RodFergusson @PezRadar @Diablo Console input lag y'all. Priority please? All of the things that get tweaked, adjusted, fixed, nerfed but that one issue has always been around...why? HT, Hordes etc I can see, not an excuse though, but the inventory/menus? Cmon y'all. #DiabloIV
