Was it like this?
Found your problem. Maybe try playing more than 1 match before giving ‘feedback’.
When crawling and pushing the (A button) while crawling it stays in the same place.
Trying to connect to a KOTH match will not load and kicks me out saying that the server is not working.
Making a Execution kill takes a while to load for it to begin the execution by holding the B button .
Man does this game need work. Gears of War used to be my favorite franchise but damn has it gone downhill. I played the Tech Test for about 4 hours with a friend and when we actually did get into a game, it was probably the worst Gears experience we have had. Yes, even worse than Judgement. I am so glad I have gamepass now because I would not be spending a dime on it when it officially releases. RIP Gears.

Sure you specified how bad this game is for you, how glitchy it is (its expected since this is its purpose to iron out its issues) but you need to at least say what’s wrong with it. You said nothing about that. Try to speak your mind.

Some thoughts…
Hmmm…arcade is boring for me. I wont be playing it, but I understand it. I’ll be playing core anyways so what you do with it is fine.
- kill cams.i like it. Allows me to see what I did to die. Dont need it everytime but its neat.
- afk people…this is a tech test and we still have them. Why?
- wait times. It’s gotten better as the day went but it shouldnt take 10 minutes to get I to a game once you find a match. Something to tweak.
- the kick back on guns (minus shotgun) is fairly strong. The talon is worthless to me. I dont like shooting at the roof. Embar takes forever to fire…its basically worthless. I have to plan my shots 5 minutes before I fire.
- timers on the pick ups…I dont care for them. Part of the game is trying to remember when the weapon is coming back . It adds to the drama.
- auto aim…didnt know that was happening.
- there seems to be a delay in shooting shotgun when you come out of a sprint.
- grenades might be a little heavy. Maybe make the throwing distance a bit further.
- when you die the other players lag out. I assume gameplay is supposed to continue. I assume that will be fixed.
- omen needs to be turned off. I cant see things.
- the emote right stick thing need to be turned off if we want. I dont need it.
12)chainsaw meh…the slash is meh…didnt need it.
For people complaining I just dropped 74 kills in koth. Another guy had 84. The game is faster and kills happen a lot more.
As for the game…its not that bad. It’s a tech test to glitches are expected. The game is clunky but it’s a tech test. I assume it will be smoothed out before release? It’s a new game with a new feel. I dont think it’s like judgement at all. I would like to see what the game is like with out aim assist.
I hope the game as some more gritty maps because the two you offered are not gritty at all.
Honestly you could have tweaked 4 added some stuff…added more story and people would have been fine.
It’s not the worst…its a tech. It feels like a mix of ultimate and 3 with a more arcade feel, but with the guns of ultimate.
Not sure how I feel about that…
please make the battle royal version epic, even include weapon customization and attachments like call of duty if you guys would like to attract every player base just dont remove the bouncing and grungy nature of the game. make the monsters creepy and gory like silent hill the movie and game. its always exhilirating to have an extremely beast creepy monster chasing you even in a battle royal version. have players pick up juggernaut pick ups and become berserkers like the story but every player real. allow hand to hand combats with savage like weapons like in arcade and the lighting sword in halo where players would clash in epic sword battles. love the new engine and game mechanic , a definite improvement. just minor game play tweaks and bugs that ive mention in this post and the previous one regarding the bugs and glitches.
again love the new game engine just needs more more more playlists, monsters, game modes, attachments…
bring back wingman mode and the scorcher, and dark creepy maps with amazing architechure and detailed designs that were cathedral like, dark and gothic always works best with gears…
Movement feels off.
Weapons feel off to a degree.
Some of the ammo changes…why?
Reticule change…why?
And then of course all the mm bugs, glitches, disconnects, no match results loading, waiting ages for matches to validate if you stay in a lobby.
The new omen is poor. Being honest though, I don’t notice it too much given how poor this is overall. This is to 4 what J was to 3. But 3 was awesome, 4 wasn’t.
To be this near release with such a poor product , after 3 years and supposed lessons from 4…it’ll take a PR and info dump miracle for TC to keep my pre-order.
Handed a huge game series on a plate…wow…

The greatest thing about GOW 1 Was the lobbys that had people messing around 1 v 1 Gnashers and snipers . This experince wasnt just fun but you gained alot more skill with other Gears players helping each other out. You made new friends to. So I think u should
All you would need for this to work iss… One huge map 10 or 20 people join
no host
No melee
No other weapons just Gnasher and Snipers
Dedicted zones for the Sniper and Gnasher
Safe zone people can watch and no one can kill the 1v 1 s going on.
No stats or kd
This be old days where u would see vids of people doing them on youtube
And add koth to social im tired of being punished for others quiting and i dont want to ranked based on radoms. And social i want to connect to some close to me . Irather lose to good players then wait along time to connect. Which is mexico and canada and lag lobbies gow 4 was bad about this… You cant get better if your not ggetting into games and not going to get better if ur not playing better players

So far I’m very disappointed. I don’t mind waiting for the issues to be fixed. It’s a demo. No big deal. The game play though is dramatically different. I have played every game since the beginning. This feels like a sequel to Gears Judgement. I personally despised that game. Gears four nailed the feel of Gears. This feels more like COD then a Gears game. The bullet impacts are a mess. The screen blinding you when you are shot but not down is awesome to look at but a complete game breaker when trying to win a gun fight. Grenades are useless planted. Long delay for the chainsaw and a bumper to activate? Why? Why do this. Love all the extras like new executions you can select. However I’m an old school player. I don’t care about winning a new skin. I keep playing for the game play. Please fix it. Or just put this franchise to rest and release a Gears 4 ultimate edition on Scorpio.
I have had some matches that have felt amazing. I think some of random clunkiness is bugs /server issues. Some of the timing changes is just a matter of adjusting. That being said I think the Gnasher is amazing and the Lancer isnt overpowering at all. At the same time I dont feel like this is equivalent to Core tuning. If the game plays all the time the way it does when everything is smooth than this is hands down the best Gears to date for Versus. Im just wondering how consistent it can be, that is the key for me.
I’ve noticed input lag, when I wonder where my gnasher shot went, after pressing the trigger and no shot. Also, other players casually walk towards me with no sense of “movement” and kill me with one shot…after I shot them 3 times with no affect. Why is this still an issue? Hope this is some what resolved.
I was wondering if its input lag or if they added delay to the Gnasher between shots, as part of the balancing. But there is a noticeable amount of timing change.
Play feels better but damage seems high all around…literally have almost no time to avoid and take cover before being downed. Just what I have noticed right off the rip.

On the self revive i feel like I can’t move and im.just jittering? Just me?
And mods, stop locking and moving threads. No one likes going through cluttered threads. Stop.
As avid gears player who has played since gears of war the original, I have never seen this ever. Since when can a fully automatic shoot straight and blow your head off. IN JUDGEMENT they introduced a markza mk-1 that is single fire assault rifle that could headshot, in gears 2 and 3 the hammer burst had that ability as well. But the lancer since gears one has never been able to headshot. 2nd issue why would you change the controller layout and double the reload with the chainsaw/retro charge.
SINCE GEARS OF WAR the button layout has not changed. I understand the idea of adding a melee system but dont change things you could have left the B button as a tap to melee and hold to rev chainsaw/retro charge.
I KNOW you want to please the new ones coming along but if you lose the originals the ones who have road with gears from day one then you have lost at least %90 of your buyers and you can bury the Gears name permanently.
GEARS was meant to break away from uniform to bring the up close game not the run and hide game. Many ppl stayed with gears for that run and body with a gnasher fun now you are making Gears into a Call of duty type game why run up I can lancer and pop your head . The enforcer now only needs half a clip to down you Really???. You are re.oving what makes gears gears if I want to play hide and keep away all day I’ll play COD.
I Feel that arcade mode is not necessary. It is a waste of a game mode . You took social and added a function of purchasing weapons via kills and switching characters you will confuse ppl when they switch to ranked. SCRAP THAT TRASH.
Finally please please take all this feedback and actually use it. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT at the end of the day if this becomes judgment 2 or ultimate edition this will be the last gear loaded in my system and can guarantee that it will be for at least 85 percent of the True Gears Population.

Back in february of 2019 I was hoping and praying that TC would change this game for the better and of course they didn’t. This game is giving me judgment vibes and that is not good at all. Arcade mode needs to be scrapped completely. Assault rifles like the lancer should not take your head off. Hammers should not be in the game is this HALO? NO TC NO !!! Boot camp after how many years really?? Now you can purchase weapons WTF? Hell no what are you guys thinking at TC? I knew it was going to be bad especially since Kait is on the cover when she is the absolute worst character in gears period but i did not know it would be this bad smh. Personally, TC should cancel the game until it is ready because this ain’t it. Remember Scale Bound yea … Gears 5 needs to get the same treatment CANCELED.

I agree that if it’s as you stated no one will want to play it and I am not wasting 65 on a false advertisement
You know this is 1 mode right. Its not the face of Gears its something new. People need to chill out. God forbid the game try to evolve. But its seems a lot of people on here just want the same game over and over.

As far as the weapon tuning goes, I really dont have any valid complaints. It’s a new game so some changes are welcome. My only real complaint is the movement and aiming. It feels like there is a slight imput delay or something going on. Basically, it feels like there is drag when aiming and moving too. It doesn’t feel crisp and like other have said it makes moving and aiming feel very clunky. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s a tech test or if that’s just the way the game is going to be. I really hope you guys plan on changing that because the way it is right now makes it feel like a step backwards from gears 4. Other than that all I have to say is great job on the game and keep up the good work. I’m optimistic about the full release in September.
