Soon as I saw the thread title I thought âgrass is also greenâ 
I saw this thread and decided to jump on 4. It feels and looks more like gears of war, even though Iâve really enjoyed my time with 5. Hit detection feels way better for sure.
I just wish there was a way to get around bot filled lobbiesâŚ

In 4 noobs canât hit max rank like 5âŚ
Never understood going down from 5v5 to 4v4,
Who exactly asked for it?
It makes the game even duller & sparse.
Every other game is going more players, and thriving.
Gears is going less, and no where near as popular.

people started getting these ideas of faster matchmaking, but that being the reason is pretty weak and shows the game is not as popular as 4.
then you had a surge in a strange group of people hell bent on taking tdm and guardian away from people. they hated the fact that people were enjoying their 5v5 matches. âthose modes shouldnât even be in ranked argghhhh!â
these guys who want to be âgears commentatorsâ started shoving their opinions as facts. a very elitist group of people and TC ate it up.
guys that have seen me post on here know that i state my preferences but not without understanding another perspective. i even dropped the arguments of the tuning details in favor of an argument about the principle of it and the feedback gathered.
from my standpoint, i know a lot of people who played 4 religiously that dont touch 5. i have gone down that rabbit hole and seen it, and i find it hard to believe that thereâs enough population to replace them.
so many people were perfectly fine with previous tunings, 5v5, tdm, guardian, etc
i mean, at this point it is a lost cause seeing TCâs attitude to the feedback. the big tuning thread closed with a âblah blah, see yâall neverâ response.
TC even hired a new gameplay lead who probably doesnât know the difference between alternate and tournament control schemes
also, despite the obvious notifications on posts saying this and that person havent ever posted or havent posted in a long time, i still saw âprominentâ members here on the forums downplaying it
boiling it down to just a few guys. yeah, just a few guys talking to each other, huh? however, i did see some objective free thinkers who said, âhey, i love the new tuning but thereâs no doubt there was a significant amount of backlash and TC should have addressed it better.â
this whole thing is doomed.

Seems like TC have wasted close to 8? 9? 10 years being allowed to develop Gears.
It should have evolved into something the size of Fortnite, Apex, CoD, Battlefield, Overwatch - even if itâs the least popular among those, it would still be far more popular than it is now.
Biggest issue is with Gears:
*Inconsistent Tunings / Hit Reg
*Removal of Active Boost
*Going down from 5v5 (should be going UP)
*eSports - who actually cares? Couple hundred people?
*Chrome Steel
*Lack of Content in Store
*Weak ToD (every season!)
*Seasons Too Long
*Same Modes from 14 years ago
*Game isnât fresh
*No BR (Gears Themed)
*All the slow gameplay, all the delays, weak guns

I would go with 4 being the more fun experience, however even that pales when comparing it with the mightier Gears 3 and multiplayer:
Better maps
Better weapon choice including load outs, Iâm no fan of the shotgun mind you.
Great skins and in many cases better drawn faces.
Better pvp modes
Better Horde, and it has Beast.
Best reward system and the mighty Onyx grind.
4player campaign
RAAM dlc
⌠The list just goes on.
I know people do not like the camera shake, after playing for years, it doesnât really bother me.

U are right .
Now everything is controlled by gamestudio , every comment , every thread if they wont like its closed , you cant even talk to this forum with fellow gearheads for some subjects like gun tunings , movements and worst of all you cant say that something is wrong .
Thats really nice : we are not some Sheeps
Câmon TC , if U dont wanna hear it just Block your ears

Gears 5 pvp is better in my opinion, but 4v4 is a wrong decision

4v4 was up there as one of the worst decisions.
All started with the God Awful Omen

Every PVP except gow 1 was straight trash
I wouldnât consider gears 2, 3, and 4 PvP to be trash. Gow 1 was awesome tho
I wouldnât mind them going with a large scale attrition type game mode, where its pvp with bots like in titanfall.
Gears 3/2/1/UE pvp is amazing so yes.

According to TC it is because there are more people who want 4v4, but I honestly think that it is not like that, many more people want 5v5 and I donât understand why they donât change it anymore
Yeah,
According to TC,
Whoâs sample are Proâs and Wannabe Proâs - the smallest Minority of the population.
I love the series & games, but I couldnât care less about the eSports.
