  @GearsofWar Imagine if your game didn't lock up and crash.

  @ItsAhki_ @GearsofWar The lancer is so broken the shotgun is pointless. Gears is about smart aggression, not sitting still with an automatic. The tuning was fine. Now it’s insanely broken. Especially in ranked.

  @GearsofWar During this latest weekend, the controls sometimes go haywire and buttons trigger the wrong actions; most of the time, it pulls up the map or team screen, causing me to miss out on plays. Please fix this bug. I am playing on Steam using an official Xbox controller.

  I hope for launch it gets fix when picking up ammo you don’t just pick up the weapon, noticed that in the beta and was just strange that you don’t just pickup the ammo #GearsofWar

  @JipperyMcCloud @GearsofWar Ima keep it a stack, I don’t think this is specifically a gears community problem. People in general have become vile living online. Every game new or old, look at the comments. The problem is, the people having fun aint as loud cause we’re doing just that. Having fun.

  I love Gears of War. Its been in my life for 20 years. EDay is heading in the right direction for the series for sure. OG gears fans need to understand that bringing in new players is going to require compromise so the game we love will stay alive. Feedback from the beta: Weapons - Lancer Proto: Revert the damage buff and increase accuracy a little. Reduce stopping power slightly. There's really no way to move around it unless you smoke Lancer Mk1: Make the accuracy worse Gnasher: Reduce gib range just a hair and smoothen damage drop off. Make the pellet pattern 100% consistent (if it isnt) Snub: Reduce damage slightly Incinerator: Fix odd issues trying to shoot from slide or cover tansition. Reduce Magazine size to 2 Gut Puncher: No spare ammo, its too strong Hammerburst: This weapon felt good Vulcan: I think its in a good spot Grenades in general: Adjust throw distance, its just a little too short. Tagging enemies should come back. I think thats a fair compromise to remove mines Longshot: This weapon is in a good spot Movement: Remove UpA speed boost. Movement should be consistent across the board Wallbouncing is in a good spot. Its fast if you do it right. Hyper bouncing is unrealistic (this is good) Sliding: Fix weird collision inconsistencies. If you slide into team mates or bodies you can literally disappear, died to this several times. Sprinting: I personally do not like how slow it is to turn the camera when sprinting, but I understand why it is this way. My only real problem with sprinting is the shooting delay from sprint. 15 years of muscle memory is gone since Im so used to shooting immediately out of a roadie run. Im not sure how to fix this or why its even in place, but worth discussing. Adjusting this may help the gnasher against rifles too. Mantle kick should come back, not sure about cover yank but mantle kick was fine. The Beta has been great so far. I've been waiting for years for another gears game and this one is poised to deliver a great experience. One thing TC, please do not cave to the gnasher only community and make the sole focus of the game gnasher wallbouncing. Everyone touts Gears 3 as being the best (myself included) and in 3 you could spawn in with a RETRO LANCER/SAWED OFF. All of the weapons worked and filled their roles perfectly. That should be the true end goal. The tunings in 3 rarely changed if at all. Please stick to this mentality. Nobody likes learning a new tuning every month, it's terrible. Make ONE tuning and stick to it across all game modes (no "competitive" tunings, they divided the already small player base). I cant wait to play the actual game in October. Its going to be a long wait. #gearsofwar #Eday @CoalitionGears

  @GearsofWar @DeathByAxe @WWE You mean for $1,000 from scalpers since the entire consumer industry has yet to solve the ******* issue.

  @GhostEagleV @GearsofWar Using a cheap manufacturer & making it exclusive to us will do that lol just like the collectors editions they’re using whoever’s the cheapest then selling it a massive price tag for maximum profit problem is smaller manufacturers can’t develop a lot of stock for it

  @GearsofWar would love to play the beta but now every time I try to turn it on the game crashes my computer. All drivers up to date launching it on Steam and now have tried over 10 times and crash every time. Any tips?

  ⚡Ty Sights✝️⚔️🌐 (@TySights) reported 31 minutes ago

  Lol the lag on versus was pretty bad @GearsofWar. Plus the wall jumping is a bit much, maybe it needs to be turned off at a certain distance to avoid abuse. Can keep it the same in Horde mode because it's useful for evasion. -Active reload needs to be tied to the local players system not the game connection to avoid lag during reload. I kept missing perfect reloads because it would jump around. I'm working on better internet too.

  @CoalitionGears you need to figure out a way for people to still collect their XP if their game ends up crashing. I've had this open beta crash twice on me back to back close to extraction, only for the game to end up crashing on me and losing all my progress.

  @Drunk_Virus @GearsofWar If they can't, you can always use Aramex shop & ship service. They will handle delivering it to you.

  I was streaming Gears of war EDay & they made my IBS stream & @GearsofWar beta game crash all bad smh they hate me bruh. Never thought showing my real inputs without use of cheats nor hacks would bring hate to my life. Regardless I'm streaming and gaming the right way

  @GearsofWar Hey so the game launches in 6 weeks, where's an update from the beta? Like what's all the things you'll fix/add/remove? Or will you guys be radio silent like with reloaded? The remake of a remake.

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar is there any proper fix planned for the gill-gutpuncher error code? I tried the solutions I saw on the site, re-installed the game, and nothing seems to work.

  @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Well I don't actually use fullscreen. I swap from bordless, to fullscreen, and back to borderless, and it fixed a weird frame capping issue. Is this stuttering happening in horde siege or versus or both?

  Every time I try to load into outpost on eday in ranked it closes the matchmaking and kicks everyone? Didn’t have this problem last weekend. @GearsofWar

  I am 50-50 on the lancer buff. Still freezing after today's fix. Been a lot of freezing on the closed and open beta which forces me to close the game. Some games the ping is +90. And rarely Ive point blank hit someone with a Gnasher and no hit reg. Otherwise 🔥🔥🔥 @GearsofWar

  I Hate Gears 5 (@GearsHate) reported 59 minutes ago

  @GearsofWar I have also tried three different D-Pads. I'm not a top tier player by any metric, however I've never had this issue in any other #Gears. Not being able to trust switching to my Gnasher has cost me so many battles. #GearsED
