Swarm elite hunter, and swarm hunter are different characters no?
Only real difference I noticed(keyword is noticed, there might be more)is that one uses a Markza and the other a Torque Bow. Haven’t really thought of, gotten the opportunity to or wanted to examine the Elite Hunter more closely.
But technically, if they were different characters and not variations you could also say that Winter Armor Kait and Desert Kait are different characters even though they’re actually just variations of her with different visual appearances.
They’re all swarm hunter (insert skin name) they’re all the same character just different skins for the swarm hunter. This conversation is over, you’re wrong, stop it. If you dont believe me, if when you unlock it go into the customization and that thing will be in the skin section and not a seperate chatacter.
Couple of things here:
-
Nothing to do with ‘can’t be bothered’. We have a significant cast across the modes at launch which, on the COG team, all have their own unique gameplay skills and abilities. We’ll be bringing back Characters in the campaign and more once they’ve received the same treatment, and it’ll be worth the wait - it essentially will constantly evolve the Escape / Horde experience.
-
All future Characters are free (ie. Baird would be a Character) and come with everything I listed above. See here: https://www.gears5.com/characters-explained

That’s what Tour of Duty is - and combined with Supply Drops, there’s more earnable content at launch than Gears 3 with more to come every three months.

I don’t think anyone can earn anything with such a unstable and ■■■■ launch.
2019 and big companies still make lame excuses.
I remember playing PGR 2 on the original Xbox, ran smooth like butter.
Seems you only like going backwards.

Can you earn the skins in the store elsewhere? For example the lahni skin in the store?
What’s the point of leveling up in this game. We get no Iron, no scrap, no characters, no character skins and no weapon skins. Gears 3 unlock system let’s us get characters from leveling up but we get nothing in this game, I see absolutely no reason to re-up my level if I get nothing out of it and I’m already around level 60.

but why medals must be timed ?
the requirements for them are crazy for that short period of time just make them permanent let people earn content how fast they want it
why there is no way to earn iron ? that 250 iron per operation is really low
just give us 10-20 iron per versus match, 20-30 for escape and for horde give more because it takes around 3 hours to finish it

Thank you for clearing that up, but I still think that ranking up in this game seems to serve very little or no purpose at all. Leaving those unlocks primarily with tour of duty and on three month basis just doesn’t seem enjoyable at all. While there is more earnable content, I find it just doesn’t seem like any of them keep me motivated to play (blood spray’s, marker’s, etc). Gears of war is known for its iconic characters and there is hardly any at launch, and the ones we can unlock through the tour of duty are just skins for other characters. I really think you guys over complicated the game by using the heroes idea which makes it difficult to add more characters and having to wait longer.

Banners, blood splatters , tag markers and emotes are useless filler so you guys don’t get away with a technicality. There isn’t more content and given that you have a ton of weapon skins, something people want way more than the other stupid things we get, which is also padding and filler btw. Don’t forget we’ve been victim to crappy monetization for a while now but as I was saying given that you have previous games worth of character skins and weapon skins you could have even put those rewards in the tour of duty and supply crates if we have to wait for actual characters. Instead you jam the supply crates and ToD with filler garbage.

There’s really not. I’d hardly call banner flags, blood sprays, or marking icons “content.” It’s fluff that The Coalition has purposely added instead of actual content. Gears 3 had ACTUAL unlockable content, i.e. fully voiced/modeled characters. All that’s unlockable this time are character variants that should already be usable. I don’t understand what’s so hard for everyone at The Coalition to understand about this? Care to elaborate on that for all of us here who keep giving you paychecks?

That is a blatantly obvious marketing ploy. You all know that your idea of “more content than Gears 3” is strictly based on number of items - all of which are banners, blood sprays, and marks. There are literally no character skin variants or weapon skins available to anyone (prior to grinding through the entirety of the Tour of Duty or spending money in the store). You very easily could have made a handful of plain colored/slightly animated weapons (such as the ones in Gears 3 or 4, for example) to include as supply drops. The customization menu is barren as all get out, and it seems you only want to defend adding anything if it will become available through the store or the late levels of the Tour of Duty - of which both have a clear intent of making money from iron purchases.
The only two available weapon skins, Deebee and Art Deco, would seem okay… however you guys didn’t care to balance the scrap system either, as you can only get 5 at a time from duplicate supply drops (can’t destroy items for scrap this time around?). Getting 2,400 scrap to make the one available legendary weapon skin would take months - 480 duplicate supply drops to be exact - of playing.
Sticking to the claim that this game has more launch content than Gears 3 is laughable.

You are literally holding heroes hostage here and will release them at a later date for a price it says right there players can unlock them through play or PAY? Are you serious???

This is not a FTP game, its a AAA title that has to be purchased for AAA prices. Especially if you purchase the Ultimate Edition. Charging for Iron or unlocks is an obvious money grab on top of the price of the game. You could make more loyal fans, keep your population up, and get people to play and grind more by having things unlock for progression in Campaign, Horde, Vs., Etc. I dont want to spoil any parts of the campaign, but there are obvious places where you could have unlocked different Del, JD, Kait skins, as well as a particular place where Oscar could have been unlocked, among many other options in the campaign alone. People are right about GOW3 getting the unlocks right, and if you so choose you could purchase weapon skins individually, or in packs. In game currency is a bad idea.

anyone here have a solution to this error: 0x800004005
MS says to hard boot console and remove power cord. tried that, luck. I see this error on both Xbox and PC
Good post, we all know why they are timed…
Absolutely. More than Gears 3…
Why do we get nothing from completing the campaign ?
Why when we got level 20,50,100 etc can’t we get a character. I always thought it would have been a great idea to get the option of a cog or Swarm/Locust (just in case a Horde only player completed the criteria)
You telling me TC could not have chucked us 5-10 characters ? Would it have hurt them so much ?
It says something about their new system when I would rather have Gear packs/rng system back.
Such a shame it comes down to wanting more and more money.

Octus, do you care to talk to the communitys problems with the obvious balance issues, notably the OP rifles and insanely low TTK?
I feel like those are the real issues thaf we havent heard from TC about.
