  • Afeelsz_R Afeelsz R (@Afeelsz_R) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar There are also problems regarding purchases of the Sniper Black Steel, solve it.

  • Ahayzo Andrew (@Ahayzo) reported

    @CoalitionGears Asking, yet again, just a simple acknowledgment that you guys broke parts of Gears 3/Judgment multiplayer earlier this year and removed playlists/maps needed for achievements. Seriously, just acknowledging it and whether you care enough to fix it is all we want.

  • EPiQ_cR Chris Ragan (@EPiQ_cR) reported

    @____Pancakes @PezRadar This. We had ours listed as “lab mix” vs the previous “lab pit”. Of course there were 0 issues because pitties are little lovers when they aren’t conditioned to violence.

  • will_son7 willsun (@will_son7) reported

    @GearsofWar Anybody else getting an error code right now? I keep getting....matchmaking failed. Go to gears support and search "cougars". When I do that, it says Lobby service matchmaking service returned an exception during matchmaking. What does that even mean lol

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @_Rawr93 @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears This has been an issue for a while I believe :( I've just checked and we have some bugs in which relate to headset and audio so I can try to chase up and see what's going on there. Apologies for this!

  • TC_Shauny TC Shauny (@TC_Shauny) reported

    @smutcookie @GearsofWar @GearsEsports Hey there, sent the Omen stuff over and it doesn't appear to be bugged, the other two issues are bugged though!

  • smutcookie o CynderWolf o (@smutcookie) reported

    @TC_Shauny @GearsofWar @GearsEsports I say that because after getting damaged just a little the cog is already fully outlined and visible where before it would only start to get outlined and wasn't too noticeable yet. Thank you for replying to me about my issues and sorry for being a nuisance

  • SilentStoner93 Dylan (@SilentStoner93) reported

    @GearsofWar is there a server issue? Everytime I try to connect to any match it says ive been kicked from game??

  • MallekThorne Thorne Mallek (@MallekThorne) reported

    @CoalitionGears Like, I get the effect is supposed to be like, A little wonky and strange, But it comes off as heavily oppressive. I was having trouble seeing where people were at cuz of the dark corners and people just moving too fast to see what was going on. The gimmick itself is good though.

  • UrsoRaivoso Mario Lopez (@UrsoRaivoso) reported

    @CoalitionGears How about fixing the server connection issues that we are having since last night, getting this COUGAR code every time we try to connect.

  • Braids2Dope JulesInTheBronx (@Braids2Dope) reported

    Nothing like working a 12 hour day then turning on @GearsofWar only to find an ERROR CODE 😤 smh

  • Anthony2690xo Anthony (@Anthony2690xo) reported

    @will_son7 @InsertCoinTees @GearsofWar 18-06-1991 should solve your issue BTW.
