Hey guys/girls hope everyones good.
Used to be on here a lot but left the game around 4/5 months ago. I was never keen on the impotent lancer which kept getting nerfed, made worse by the gnasher which seemed to have a mind of it’s own most games and topped off by the wonky movement.
I have been thinking a lot about coming back lately. But no doubt the game needs an update or two and if it’s still in a bad place I’m not sure I want the heartache.
So how is it guys?
And since all the guys i used to play with have moved on to other games, any uk guys want to hook up for some competitive play?
I’m staying away from ranked because the gnasher is very very questionable… I’m in onyx in Gears 4 and diamond in Gears 5 and it is not fun trust me. (Just throwing my rank out there because I feel like people seem to think a high ranking player holds more merit than low ranked players. I don’t care for rank I’ll still play/ listen to what anyone has to say.) Everything is spongy on there, I’m getting ranked down because inconsistencies and people shooting where I previously was and they one shot me but I gotta put 2-3 bullets.Horde is fun but you’re at risk at raging because elite drones on higher difficulties are crazy or you could try making escape maps ,which is always fun to be proud of your own creations.
Update: so far so good I think. Hopped into casual a few casual matches earlier and after tinkering with my sens (which I think was too high) its playing pretty good.
Yeah the gnasher is still weird. I’m having trouble hitting lateral cover too, which didn’t used to be a problem. It seems like they’ve reduced the angle in which you can snap to cover than how I remember it, I keep rolling onto walls instead of sliding into them
Ill be real with you. If anything. The game will feel probably worse. Even with a series x.
It will feel smoother with the series x but it will still be clunky af MOVING IN MUD.
Don’t bother. Playing against 4 stacks in KOTH ranked when their connection is on some form of hyperspeed is the most infuriating Gears experience you’ll ever have especially if like me you solo que. Gnashers still an inconsistent mess, ditto for the matchmaking & servers and the lancers been nerfed to death.
I came back to check out Op 5 and after this weekend I’m out til Op 6.
EDIT- I was just playing a ranked KOTH game, was 1 and a half rounds up and then I got booted out the game with no option to rejoin. Needless to say not only am I p*ssed off but now my 3 remaining teammates will have to endure a 4v3 probable loss. Great job TC! And you wonder why the communities so toxic
I ask myself this every time a new operation drops. And I always end up re downloading and checking it out. It’s too early to say if op 5 will keep me or if I’ll quit once the honeymoon phase dies. I’d say if you love pve come back. It’s just veetter
or you could try making escape maps ,which is always fun to be proud of your own creations.
