    @REDY0TA @TastierLake9147 @GearsofWar When I said unique I was meaning locust with names and character development the swarm are just a bunch of copy pasted enemies with no personality what-so-ever compared to the locust, this is also the problem with the swarm the hive mind dominance makes them bland

  • noewanspecial ShottyDiaper (@noewanspecial) reported

    @aarondamron1988 @iGnashtys @GearsofWar (Think I responded to the wrong tweet about an update issue)

  • 2Albertrossy Albertrossy (@2Albertrossy) reported

    @GearsofWar can you tell microsoft to fix the microsoft game pass xbox launcher. the game quits cause it says an update is out. then the game launcher just does nothing...

  • princexile PRINCEXILE (@princexile) reported

    @ARXGAMING_ @CoalitionGears Bouncing delay, Gnasher point blank not killing. Getting stuck and looking around with the camera and not spawning after. There is a lot of issues. Gears has been 5v5 now it's 4v4. We need more players for Gears to evolve

  • Potty_Snatcher I LOVE SHOT DELAY; YAY I CANT SHOOT! (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny ******support needed please ******question regarding what may be a glitch. In gow4 before the launch of gow4 their were challenges for gilded characters . Is gilded Del not one of those that transfer? I unlocked him in gow4 but don’t see him in gow5

  • 6losses LeBum “6Losses Swept 2x” James (@6losses) reported

  • Otakublaster A random person (@Otakublaster) reported

    @GearsofWar Get rid of gnasher 90% or above bc it shouldn’t exist and fix the ******* boomshot and nerf the lancer tired of players walking together and camping it’s not fun

  • ascends21 Ascends21/ Emerge Gohan (@ascends21) reported

    @CoalitionGears fk ur update fix multiplayer servers

  • ARXGAMING_ Joshjjk (@ARXGAMING_) reported

    @princexile @CoalitionGears Also I’ve seen your tweets saying “Coalition suck” because they can’t get a update out on time or simply because there a server issues going on. How arrogant are you? There is a pandemic going on still lots of people working from home. Those normal issues happen with all Devs.

  • OculusDiaboli รคɭรค (@OculusDiaboli) reported

    @GearsofWar Error purchasing black steels already.

  • Nine60376289 Nine (@Nine60376289) reported

    @GearsofWar Please fix Anya and Sam's *** bro. Looks so flat. I don't wanna see that

  • aarondamron1988 aaron (@aarondamron1988) reported

    @noewanspecial @iGnashtys @GearsofWar ??? I didn’t say I was having trouble launching the game I was saying I prefer it over apex

  • GnashtyDamerch Dan (@GnashtyDamerch) reported

    @GearsofWar Frantically waiting for it. @TC_Shauny Can you guys please fix Escalation spawns? There’s no reason why 1 person spawns in the way back, this isn’t the old 5-man esca. It’s extremely unfair to the back spawn person. In the last 18 of my 20 games, I was in the back!!! WHY ME???

  • onewithdawit James Ellis (@onewithdawit) reported

    @_VanDerLinde_ @GearsofWar It`s probably a licensing issue

  • BillsMoronmafia Jack (@BillsMoronmafia) reported

    @TC_Shauny @CMcog06 Lazy pathetic and totally on brand for @CoalitionGears is this a triple A studio backed by Microsoft that sells microtransactions and can't fix bugs

  • dxnte_szn D (@dxnte_szn) reported

    @TC_Shauny, @tc_sera, @CoalitionGears pls fix the servers or something, because many of the players experience failures when starting a game, we have lost packages and it takes about 5 minutes to remove, it is very annoying

  • Tei_Tenga Dude Krueger (@Tei_Tenga) reported

    @GearsofWar PVE: The Relic Weapons have now been moved into the “minimal” Gears 5 install; this addresses an issue with users crashing when loading Atrium. ... What does this mean for patch size? Will I need to update the base install first and install the TU following? #Pressed4Bandwidth

  • ARXGAMING_ Joshjjk (@ARXGAMING_) reported

    @princexile @CoalitionGears “High ping lobby’s” yeah I play Rainbow six Siege Professionally and High ping does tend to cause the problems you said. And your saying this is the game’s problem’s no. It’s your internet’s or region. I’ve played ranked many many Times and I get around 15 ping. On every game tbh

  • Dur4iVal3ntin Durai Valentin (@Dur4iVal3ntin) reported

    @GearsofWar People care too much about skins (they are awful btw) rather than gameplay issues or map issues

  • TriangularPrzm 2021 (@TriangularPrzm) reported

    @GearsofWar Aint no body care about cosmetics. Fix youre fkn game. Matchingmaking is awful. So much bugs. The games been out for 2 years and its the same ****. Yall honestly dont give af bout youre community yall just a bunch of sellouts

  • __Breeen Breen™️ (@__Breeen) reported

  • SSKILLARECORDS LONGLIVEKINGVON (@SSKILLARECORDS) reported

    @HigulzDaPro @GearsofWar This is a big problem that’s still never fixed 🤢

  • Potty_Snatcher I LOVE SHOT DELAY; YAY I CANT SHOOT! (@Potty_Snatcher) reported

    the more “popular” #gears5 #gearsofwar content creators are very dismissive to actual issues with the game and almost in a perpetual state of delusion. It sucks that true fans can’t rely on you to voice our concerns and get their attention . They already cut our 2 biggest yet

  • Gael05556148 sensei sun (@Gael05556148) reported

    Thank you @CoalitionGears your stupid game crash and now im penalized in rankeds **** you and your stupid game fix it and now im penalized and i didn't get my XP.

  • PaulLivo Livo (@PaulLivo) reported

    @Viggora @CoalitionGears As much as I have my own opinions towards who you just tagged. I have to defend them as I know the truth. The shot delay wasn't added for casual players, it was actually due to a pro player complaining about the Air Back A... The shot delay was the idea used to "fix" that 😢

  • bridberserker Bridberserker (@bridberserker) reported
