    @DrShwazz @GearsofWar As soon as we can address the Relic Weapon issue with Atrium and Turbine's exploit!

  • GerrySacrimoni HERO (@GerrySacrimoni) reported

    Day 6 of being banned in Gears with zero explanation as to why. @TC_Shauny @CoalitionGears If I could please find out why so that I can resolve this issue that’d be great.

  • kid_venison Matthew Mesecke (@kid_venison) reported

    @badkennyfly @badkylefly @GearsofWar Fix the shotguns first

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @Bluesfan087 @GearsofWar Not anytime soon but we absolutely want to fix them.

  • ICEAID09 VnG IC3 (@ICEAID09) reported

    @CoalitionGears Yall need to fix your game, not once ever have i gotten banned, I'm a casual player. Can someone explain why I got a 5 day ban

  • Jack2505_ Jack2505 (@Jack2505_) reported

    @TC_Shauny @GearsofWar No problem, for the future of gears 5 or gears 6 can horde events be available in custom lobbies. Custom lobby hands down works much better than matchmaking for horde. and for operation 8 why not bring back maps such as jacinto or other maps that we have not seen for years.

  • Theyyhad ジャレン (@Theyyhad) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears Im not even gonna lie when i play with or without pc players this never happens to me lol. People disconnect but they return

  • OPedru77 Pedruh (@OPedru77) reported

    @CoalitionGears I want to know when @CoalitionGears you guys are going to fix the bugs is to put the kill mode again without needing to go into random that way you can't play with the game all broken

  • TheOfficalTempz Tempz (@TheOfficalTempz) reported

    @FenixMurda @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The console players are the problem

  • KingBlacki king blacki (@KingBlacki) reported

    @UthyrTheImpure @CoalitionGears No more events, just fix the shotgun, take off aim assist for all weapons (especially sniper) and scrap the delays . Og gear heads and newbies will all be happy singing kumbyya

  • CommanderLustin Commander Lustin (@CommanderLustin) reported

    @mcquack306 @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny Probably like 5 guys tryna do it since full development on Gears 6 started. Weird considering it’s like the only “live service” game in gamepass aside from ESO now. I still play with my brother and GF every now and then but no motivation anymore like OP4 and 5.

  • SlNEMATIC666 David Scott (@SlNEMATIC666) reported

    @GearsofWar @Covyyyy @TC_Shauny Can we get a fix for the Marksman class? Lambent don’t show up when using the ultimate

  • skepplesays skepple (@skepplesays) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears I played 1 control game and there was a quitter, guardian doesn't seem to have the same issue as much as disconnect/reconnect, not many quit

  • CommanderLustin Commander Lustin (@CommanderLustin) reported

    @Viggora @mcquack306 @GearsofWar Nobody asked for them and that’s the issue lmao

  • EDWARDTING3 EDWARDTING (@EDWARDTING3) reported

    @Malrx4 @GearsofWar @TC_Shauny The problem is no they are in pc, the problem is that they are full squad and that is so bad play against full squads vs not full squads cause serie X have 120 fps too and can play with mouse and controller and have same options of PC

  • azdevildogaz Bobby Garman (@azdevildogaz) reported

    @TheOfficalTempz @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears Easy fix for this would be to remove the icons from the player cards or ppl just grow ******** up crossplay is the new normal and they are gonna have to deal with it in every game they play

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @SlNEMATIC666 @GearsofWar @Covyyyy This is bugged and we're working on a fix!

  • MonzterChaz Chaz (@MonzterChaz) reported

    @PezRadar Damn. Bose. Always have trouble with them unplugging themselves.

  • DarkBreed7 Dark Breed (@DarkBreed7) reported

    Plus getting a kill on me when I'm down at 10 steps, but I get a BING sound when I try to finish them at 4 steps. lmao. @GearsofWar Fix bulletmagnetsm on mouse, I'm getting to the point I'm not going to keep buying Black steel, or bundles if my platform gets no love from y'all.

  • TheOfficalTempz Tempz (@TheOfficalTempz) reported

    @FenixMurda @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears I use a controller that has a broken b button I need an option in game that only lets me play with other players that also have a broken b button

  • JFlexys YGP 7 (@JFlexys) reported

    @DanjoskrA @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears Agreed with Crisp. 4v3's definetely are winnable as I've lost them before in my favor and won some. The issue was your team was just clearly outmatched. Even with the player not quitting, it still would've been a wash most likely. Stacking vs solos is where the real issue stands.

  • PourzTheGoon pourz (@PourzTheGoon) reported

    @GearsofWar please fix your game I've lagged out 2 games in a row and get banned because of it and then my game crashed and it's not my internet I have a 20 ping

  • KairothePadawan Kairo (@KairothePadawan) reported

    @GearsofWar I guess no one else has had this odd issue with KotH in Custom matches. If you swap to the Esports version, play a match and then go back to the original, it’ll just stay permanently on the esports options…I have zero clue how to fix it.

  • boobiefornow James (@boobiefornow) reported

    @TastierLake9147 @ImAthenz @GearsofWar Nope they’re all respectable except Kait who’s just a ***** who only cares about her own problems. “Strong female protagonist” smh

  • ZiiTwitch Z I I (@ZiiTwitch) reported

    @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The games finished in a few weeks time anyway, it wont stop quitting, it wont stop stacks and it won't make it any less frustrating. League has a surrender vote, it's still awful being "locked in" except now, there is a surrender culture being built. The issue is TC's MM.

  • SkinniiGoinHam Skinnii (@SkinniiGoinHam) reported

    @Imlevelzer0 @Dur4iVal3ntin @GearsofWar People like you are the problem. He can't voice his opinion? He can't give criticism in a game he once loved? I agree with everything he says. The game is so ******* stale. It's okay to give criticism

  • FUSION_REPULSE ThatGuyNamedStorm (@FUSION_REPULSE) reported

    @CoalitionGears Your RANKING in Gears 5 IS SO BROKEN I ran into a team of 4 last night & No one on my team was REMOTELY Partied up.... Not only that!!! I ran into them in the NEXT GAME & AGAIN none of my teammates WERE TOGETHER get your S*** Together... RIGGED to the goddamn CORE of the sun..

  • FenixMurda Scott Fenix (@FenixMurda) reported

    @TheOfficalTempz @TheRazoredEdge @CoalitionGears The player pop isn't great with or without crossplay. The problem is the ranking system itself. After the update you could find games in seconds. After the patch even with crossplay ppl still waiting 5 to 50min for a ranked match. They have a broken ranked matchmaking system.
