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

  @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears is there a problem with the beta update? I had to delete the beta and reinstall since it wouldn’t get past 20% when “finishing up”.

  @Silverwve @Community_Gears @GearsofWar Ah, I wasn’t having frame capping issues, but for whatever reason switching to full screen gave me an fps boost. I don’t play versus so I’m talking exclusively in horde.

  @Dutchonidas @GearsofWar For real. I think E-Day Beta was decent, but it’s got some things to fix for sure. I can see people like or hate it as well and understand if they support why. All I’m saying is the player base got to stop hating on each other and put others down. It’s sickening.

  @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.

  MY FINAL THOUGHTS OF GEARS OF WAR: EDAY They had SEVEN years to make this game and to be honest they need more time week 1 beta was the most fun I had then week 2 came and it’s the most dogshit thing I ever experienced. Open beta made me realize that the @Community_Gears don’t care about their player base they had couple of days to fix 12 second timer, and some bugs but decided to ultimately buff lancer ( which isn’t a big deal ) and did other things besides what most people complained about. This open beta is final product and they are not fixing ****. I definitely do not recommend this game spend your money on something better. Do better @CoalitionGears I’m so glad I got my refund.

  @GearsofWar I really don’t have time to get to level 20 in the beta due to the bugs and DC issues so I’ll probably just return it since I didn’t get those before the game came out.

  @BigTasteX @Community_Gears @GearsofWar obv frame gen will be a thing in the full game, but smooth motion works for now and it feels and looks the exact same as without it, no input lag or anything, just more (fake) frames

  Gears of War: E-Day is great… it just needs a couple things fixed: • Fix the Gnasher • Buff the Gnasher • Nerf the Gnasher • Make the Gnasher one-shot again • Stop the one-shots • Bring back 8 shells • Keep the 6 shells but make active reload better • Wall bounce is dead, bring it back • Wall bounce is still too strong, kill it • Cover cancels feel locked and slow • Cover cancels are too free • Movement has too much momentum • Movement has no weight • Bring the roadie run back • The new upright sprint is mid • Hit detection is trash • Hit detection is better than Gears 5 • Aim assist is broken • Aim assist doesn’t exist in Versus • Audio is dog water • Directional audio needs a complete overhaul • Crashes every 3 matches • Matchmaking takes 10 years • Crossplay is broken • PC cheaters already everywhere • EAC is useless • Ban macros • Controller support on Steam is a joke • MnK feels floaty • Mouse sensitivity is wrong • Deadzones are broken • Visual popping everywhere • Cover is inconsistent • Out of bounds still happens • Blood is too clean • Not enough gibs • Not enough execution animations • Marcus looks too young • Marcus looks too old • Dom’s voice is off • Bring back classic Horde instead of Horde Siege • Horde Siege is actually fire though • Add custom lobbies • Add more maps already • Fix the Lancer • Buff the Lancer more • Nerf the Lancer • Projectile travel time feels weird • Ballistics are too realistic • Make it feel more like Gears 1 • Make it feel more like Gears 3 • Make it feel more like Gears 5 but fixed • Fix the camera when sliding • Sliding is too strong • Sliding is useless • Jumping is pointless • Why can I even jump • Film grain and chromatic aberration can’t be turned off • Performance mode still dips • Series S hitching • 150 FPS cap in beta was criminal • Shaders take forever • Skip intro logos already • More blood. Always more blood. Once these are all fixed I think we’re headed in the right direction. Thanks. @CoalitionGears @XBOX

  @GearsofWar Will the “GDK not available” issue be fixed when the game comes out so I can actually play it?

  @GearsofWar Please, tell us why you went back to center screen shooting… This game is designed to lure in new players, but every new/returning player I have spoken to absolutely despises it amd it creates or is apart of so many issues the game gas right now

  @GearsofWar Need to fix the beta. Can't get on. Longer we can't get on should be the longer we get to play it...

  Gears of War E-day beta is a total trainwreck.I never played a more clunky game in my life! The developers totally mutilated everything that was fun about Gears of war and I dont even recognize the game I loved. This game has so many issues that it seems unfixable! Gears 5 is 100 times better then E-Day and that is really sad when they supposedly spent 400 million dollars in development. This game is probably the worse game that I ever played before and with GTA coming out along with Modernwarfare 4 I dont see how this game will survive! I dont see how they can fix this game by October 6 and like I said Gears was my all time favorite game and I cant believe how bad this game is. I mean you can't even sprint and fire the Gnasher but sliding into players is ok there is so much input delay and the gun tuning is horrible and it has so much delay and clunk it does not feel like a triple A game and once the honeymoon faze is over the numbers in this game will diminish. I waited for E Day for years and I am sad and shocked how bad it is. Thats what happens when you lose key members of development teams. E-Day feels like it went backwards not forward. If Gears 5 had a bigger community and they upgraded their servers I would delete this game off of my console and continue to play 5. If the Coalition was smart they would delay this games October 6 release date and fix all the issues! I just hope they can turn things around but that seems highly unlikely. RIP Gears of War @GearsofWar

  Is it just me or can you not turn the camera while sprinting in Gears E Day now? I swore last weekend I could with no problem??? @GearsofWar

  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. 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

  Please @CoalitionGears do what call of duty did. Port the old Gears of War games on next gen consoles please. Trying to play gears 3 now is pretty much impossible with lag, cheaters, and no American players. Gears 2 The delay is awful. Everyone loved that call of duty did it.

  @GearsofWar can you fix the map outpost? It keeps glitching so nobody can load in.

  theReelDrew (@theReeelDrew) reported 31 minutes ago

  @GearsofWar @Community_Gears @CoalitionGears You all really screwed the beta up with that update no clue what you all did but its not *skill issue*. Everything was working fine before that update. Now it’s Lancer heaven. I have no clue if you guys thought, “Yay, we balanced the weapons,” because no you absolutely did not. The servers were also acting worse. Good luck with launch. Hopefully things are better and the weapons are actually balanced, because otherwise this game is going to fall off just like Reloaded.

  @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

  @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!

  @Gnomonknows @EpicGames Epic Games hasn't been involved with Gears of War since Judgement in 2013. it's @CoalitionGears that's developing it. also, Active Reloads has been a thing since Gears 2. also, the fact that you're sad about no more wall bouncing proves that you were part of the problem
