  Give #gearsofwar a chance they have problems but it’s a beta. Let them have a chance to hear your complaints so they can make the game better. 🤞

  @GearsofWar my issue with beta is that my game keeps crashing in Horde Siege, usually towards the end of matches... Also can't shoot through some windows, as they have bullet proof glass?

  @Gearsovwar @CoalitionGears I have a post on my profile with 200k views for this issue. It will most likely not be fixed. It’s a really awful barrel check issue

  @GearsofWar **** steam. Turn off crossplay. Biggest ******* issue with the gnashing is steam players lagging like **** all

  @GearsofWar Horde -Being down while having a stim along w/ another attachment sometimes won’t let me use the stim even though I have it.. feels like it gets cancels out. -Quitters should be penalized. Load in a real player instead of having a useless bot the rest of the run. My main issues!

  @GearsofWar Gnasher is fully inconsistent. Audio perception is completely ******. Please FIX IT BEFORE LAUNCH

  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.

  @GearsofWar I’m be honest yall should be able to let us continue to play beta until release especially to guarantee some of these bugs are for sure not going to be a problem. Over the weekend the beta kept showing blank scoreboards or PCs was crashing I feel like we deserve extra play time

  @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Is there somewhere to submit bugs/glitches? When modifying a weapon in your loadout in Horde Seige, when you go to select a weapon mod, your weapon parts can be spent automatically in error on a random weapon mod

  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: Remove 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. 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 Automatic shooting with Shotgun, A Button to RUN and JUMP and jump over cover all with A Button and faster running needs to be fix on DAY 1.

  @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?

  @GearsofWar Please fix the gnasher aiming

  Dumah (@rottenifzombie) reported 32 minutes ago

  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

  @GearsofWar Canceling Pre order- this game is ***. You all need to quit video games especially Matt Searcey - proof you are corporate greedy share holder simps. Forcing Ray Tracing is redundant- disable RT NOW! Up it to 5 man squads - NoW - push back release and fix the clunky camera lock.

  @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.

  Can we get some conversations going about the issues with the beta or just get some hype going talking about the positives? @Community_Gears @GearsofWar If you can make a shady post because you made a typo about aim assist, ya'll can have the Community Manager speak to us.

  @Silverwve @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Yeah I’m not being capped or anything. I tried using my lossless scaling frame gen app off steam, but even then it’s rough. Lots of input lag and the game is so unstable bouncing between 35-65 that it’s still not helping. Frame gen may not be enough with how unstable it is :/

  @Anduxuel @GearsofWar What made it worse it’s naturally a two person weapon and they made it into a one person if it was still you needed someone to carry the ammo box then yeah fine that’s easier to deal with take out the guy carrying the box but yeah that **** broken

  @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 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
