Competitive audience has been sold out (core)

Like i said if you’ve been hit slightly the next shot downs you. It doesn’t make sense! Wheres the skill in just getting such easy kills ?

Cant even push an opponent and everyone is camping …such a dissapointment

Also im not a mindless gnasher user .

But how would lowering damage really change people from camping or sitting on right hand advantage? Sure you don’t go down as fast, but you still have the problem of trying to push someone always being in the defenders favor. That’s how it’s always been in Gears

Yes but because you had faster movement you could outplay them ,

That’s not the point. High damage and low movement means you verse any other vet will come down to who shot who first.

I’m not surprised by this. Gears 3 and Gears 4 both went down the wrong path, so it is expect for Gears 5 to follow the same path.

People act like Gears 1 is SOOOO hard to play. It’s really not, just don’t pit experienced players against newbies and there wouldn’t be a problem.

Gears 5 has been designed for Comp and suffering because of it.

Core Tuning is perfection for Gears.

Exactly its first shot = win…no chance you can push a decent player . Literally a 2 shot down each time .

I’ve yet to play Gears 5 (missed the tech test), but from all the gameplay footage I’ve seen the movement doesn’t seemed to have been slowed down to the point that it’s useless. Lot more problems with input delays and clunkyness with supposed 60Hz tickrate but that’s besides the point.

I don’t see how it will play much different than Gears 4 core. If you are truly a good comp tuning player, you would be an even better core player after you are more cautious in each engagement

Not always true.

So many times I can eat that shot due to distance and get the gib.

Or the satisfying kill is getting hit and outplaying for the kill.

At a high level, first shot isn’t always the person who gets the kill.

Skill gap definitely still there to say it’s easier is just ridiculous. Gnasher is the most consistent it has ever been so of course 2 shot down happens a lot more often it’s shotgun not a pistol. The movement I feel like is a lot smoother still able to strafe, wallbounce, and move around corners fairly quickly just now not as crazy which I thought was dumb to begin with seeing all these “hyper bouncers”. Makes it more strategic and you’re actually thinking of where you’re going and shooting.

Some1 must have blown your head off with a lancer lol. I love that is a capability now instead of shoot for days and nothing happens. I feel the damage is fine.

I don’t see how that equates to evolution, but ok. Arcade was suppose to be the thing for new comers to jump into and be able to take their time and learn. Having the damage as high as it is kind of destroys the integrity of the gameplay of Gears, and slants the gameplay more towards the average first person shooter game.

They say they wanted to promote the use of other weapons, all they really promoted was camping, and the same CORE style gameplay from most of GOW4’s modes.

Gears 5 feels good, just going to take a little getting use too, Gears 5 for me feels way better than gears 4.

You guys are wasting time arguing with people who played only from gears 3 onwards. because since that game came out the whole franchise have been going down hill in versus for gears 1 and 2 players and in the same time getting better for the new comers.

Tc made their choice, they are catering to the new fanbase. removing execution/warzone from ranked is the biggest clue.

As a 06 vet my self I share OP opinion. the weapons are all too strong, its a campfest! the rifles are way overpoweres may aswell just make it 3 shots kill like Cod and be done with it.
Forcing us to play execution in private without earning xp is a big insult. I know its not a popular mode but It wouldnt hurt to include a one life mode in ranked or even dodge ball

hahaha core tuning is perfection for gears … bahahaha omg I cant believe ppl actually think that… just wow

core tuning makes ppl worse at gears … giving them more powerful weapons and reducing the need for movement doesn’t help you get better lol

core tuning which is basically what gears 5 is … its pretty much walk around the map hard aiming ur gnasher. 2 shot down everytime , if that’s ur version of what gears is then we live on different planets…

Out of curiosity what about Gears 1&2 versus made it more competitive or better than the other games?

exactly, everyone is hard aiming standing still/behind cover every match I played today. the gnasher may aswell call it a sniper. active reload any rifle is half a second kill…

The sad part is this will get boring for everyone too soon. like it did in gears 3 and 4 and the player base will be the same as usual. few thousands here and there after a couple of months or to be precise after the new call of duty release.

This is TC not Epic,TC are clueless when it comes to gears and i mean real gears not the joke they have turned it into.
Things will only get worse,just look at there history with gears.
This is TC gears so made for utter noobs ,skill gets punished as does good connections,Gears 4 paved they way for this an Ferguson is not cliffy. Old gears fans need not apply here,its dead.
Playing Tc gears makes you a worse player at gears.
