Well in the Snatcher they wouldn’t be too connected, only when Podded. Not sure how long they spend in the Pods. Also being conscious (with the masks) in the Pods probably hurts the link.

Do u get disconnects while playing coop?
I always get every 2 minutes. Multiplayer works fine tho.
“WHOO!”
There. I fixed it lol
I’d rather spend a full length campaign with hana by my side than kait for an hour

I liked Hivebusters but Gears 5 is far much better in combat design. In Hivebusters combat scenarios are much more simplistic and while it is very fun in the fights when they put a major enemy as kind of a little boss, it is just because Gears 4/5 core is just fun and if you are playing in Insanity or above you really have to know what you are doing.
Nevertheless there aren’t more complex, harder fights like in Gears 5 when you are in the hangar stuck in the moving elevator and you have to clean the swarm and prevent the scion with the mine launcher too totally wipe you out of the world, or in that secondary mission where hunters with bows are constantly going invisible and switching positions while juvies keep coming for you. Also Jack’s powers gave Gears 5 a very welcome extension to “playability”? IDK the word in english LOL. Invisibility was too OP and wasn’t really fun to use, but invulnerability allows you to show yourself and spray heavy fire like crazy while you still need to be careful and sometimes keep it unused to save you from incoming explosives or too close juvies.
God, Gears 5 game design is so good. They can remove the skiff, I really don’t mind, it didn’t bothered me, but people seemed to mostly dislike it… But Jack’s abilities are really a game changer.

imagine saying DLC is better than Gears 5 campaign,smh. Gears 5 is one of the best campaigns in Gears franchise, great graphics on Xbox consoles and PC to date,open world areas to explore, many variations of upgrades and use of Jack in campaign, great cinematic cut scenes, most dramatic in Gears series, great musical theme and soundtrack

comparing DLC to campaign…hmm…okay
You just reminded me of a skin I can’t even use anymore 
I guess technically I can, but I literally only used it when I played Gridiron, which I can’t anymore… why would I play custom with a bunch of bots, sounds sooooo fun

I like the implications that I said Gears 5 is terrible and Hivebusters is great.
When the truth is that I like both but I much prefer Hivebusters in many ways.

I don’t think Gears 5 is terrible at all mate. What makes it feel that way is the amount of bugs and glitches.
You take that all away and it would be the best game in the franchise so far.
To be honest to me it still is. I know that’s not a very popular opinion but in the love and hate relationship I have with this game…love wins.

Sometimes it can happen. Bioshock 2’s “Minevera’s Den” is considered by many to be a better campaign then the base campaign even if its more then half the size. Its rare but it happens.
I feel like Gabe could have been more developed and Gearsy with a traditional Gears title. With only the cutscenes for banter and development between individual characters, you don’t get that kind of insight.
True of us all, perhaps. Well…Gears 5 Kait, imo. Gears 4 Kait was the bee’s knees.

I believe the same. Kait us basically rey from Disney star wars to me. I was actually excited to play kait in 5 but tc has to pull a rain Johnson and subvert our expectations.
That said, I love the hivebusters dlc and made me play the trio in horde and escape now that they are fleshed out. I’d rather 6 be scorpio squad plus Marcus for the campaign.

I also want Scorpio Squad and Marcus as a main characters for Gears 6 campaign.

They are way more likable than the current cast. Jd has some development until they torpedoed it, del is a cardboard cut out and kait is kait.
I think TC realized that if they give their characters personality, people will attach to them.
Before the dlc, I had no reason to play scorpio squad because I didnt know who they were 
I love you , Wisdom. I really do.
You clearly know your stuff and you really do love Gears as much as real life , as I do.
Let’s go toghether in Vancouver to TC and let’s show these lil whimps how a WAR game it’s done.
I bring the WWII books and the original spaghetti.
I can’t put a bottle of Lambrusco on the plane , otherwise , I would have.
What are you bringing along?

I enjoyed 5 more than HB.
Comparing the two isn’t fair to either of them.
I could pick HB apart for being far, far too linear. Almost like a handholding experience. Where you just go in a straight line the entire campaign.
The older games suffer from this to a degree, but they have full blown acts that are broken up between hours above and below ground. Expansive and war torn cities that make every corner an eerie feeling, where you feel like you could be flanked every and any second.
HB just can’t shake that linear feel to it, one new enemy type, a neutered jack system.
The biggest strengths of the campaign are it’s characters, characters that people are like due to either reading the comics or playing escape with the trio.
HB didn’t have to do much to be a solid and great experience but I judge a story on what we learn and we didn’t learn anything besides what the waakatu looks and acts like, more depth added to the trio, Hoffman, and a dip into Hanna’s personality.
What we learned in 5, coupled with how open ended the exploration is, new enemy types, the fluidity of the gunplay and action sets, the story being a direct continuation of 4 left me being more engaged than HB had me.
And like I said earlier, that’s just a fault of that you can’t compare the two like you can with other campaigns in the series.
One’s a full blown campaign, and the other is a DLC that doesn’t have the burden of being a direct sequel in a franchise that spans 5 mainline games and two spin-offs
