The strafing buff wasn’t necessary and honestly the whole update was unnecessary. The game was pretty peak and you rolled out this less than satisfactory update which also screwed the hit boxes up. Fix the hit box issue and keep the movement i guess but add in the 8 shots the gnasher always was to compensate for the high movement fights. Also where is the dope skins for weapons and characters? That was one of Gears more playful aspects and it seems stripped away. Over all still a good game but it used to be freakin great. Listen to the feed back and hook up your fans TC.

I was actually gonna post today to ask if movement was tweaked again…as last night the movement felt really really really good. The best its felt since release. Nice job TC…Merry Merry
Who cares about the movement. Went 17-9 against a team that was favored by 14k and got -500 rank points. Fix your ranks jesus

Shotgun does feel busted since the change, feels so random and scattered all around point blank targets. I am also experiencing more killcams of people shooting at and hitting me when not even aiming at me,
Hitboxes around corners might while my character even in killcams is safely around them might indicate hitbox movement lag or something? Was the hitbox.movemeny not updated with the new speed ramping? Noticing this specifically when kiting players around pillars while they follow.
Am PC, and theorizing y’all are intentionally handicapping us xD

Not a regular player but I was experimenting with it today. I can’t imagine how bad it must have felt before because it’s pretty terrible right now. So delayed, sloppy, confusing, and lacking in fluidity. There’s a jerkey/jolting feeling to everything.
I’ve found that the ability to quickly aim and shoot in any direction (something I used extensively in Gears 4) is somehow broken. The only shots that consistently land are shots placed when I’m moving straight toward someone. Performance on the One X is excessively jittery and stuttering so placing shots is not a fun experience. Combined with the delays, I won’t be spending any more time on VS unless major fixes are made.

Movement feels even worse now

TC has ruined this game now. Movement has been completely messed up since the last update.

Honestly you’re right, the movement feels more blocky and not smooth, I roll more when I wall bounce when I don’t even want to. They need to reset the movement.
Agree with you bud
Do you play on a big tv? Cause if so you should get a smaller tv monitor. Usually that’s what the problem is when it comes to moving, with any game of course.

This is the worst. On my screen I’m behind cover but on kill cam they are around the corner and taking money out of my back pocket.
I have had my kill cam off since launch and im afraid to turn it on.
The forums got what they wanted. Shotguns are now, without question, the best weapon in the game.
Very little reason to use the Lancer now. Damage falloff needs means it’s next to impossible to down at a distance. When within 30 yards the increased movement and cover sliding speed means it’s that much easier to gib. Trying to RR away from an oncoming gnashes user? Well thanks the the decreased time to shoot out of a RR and increased walk acceleration they can literally stick to you and shoot they whole time you are running away.
Funny enough, it’s less effort to kill with the shotgun then to try to track them with the lancer.
No point of picking up the garbage talon pistol(too much recoil- easier to gib with shotty) or enforcer(again too much recoil shotty is a 1 shot) either.
Gears 6 should start off with the COG throwing all weapons weapons besides the gnasher into a landfill.

Just pick up the hammerburst or retro lancer and its game back on. Just dont pick up the Markza because for some reason they nerfed the crap out of it.

And how many maps combined are those weapons on? Like two? And only 1 (reclaimed) is frequently voted on.
Off topic but the retro charge is garbage too. Literally body to body contact for a kill.
Not 100% sure I know Hammerburst is on Harbor and on Allfathers Arena. The Retro lancer is on Dam. Yeah i cant say i ever use the Retro Charge. The Boltok is nice in this game though. I think two shots to blow off a head.
Havent noticed a real difference … Just noticed more inconsistent shot gun then ever before! Imagine runnin up on someone with a 98% shot very often just to get a weak turn around instagib to you by a scrub with a worse shot

I agree, if we call all of Gears 5 “the last update” 
The limited gnasher ammo is such bs. Another massive f up by TC.

Get rid of the 3 shot reloads. It’s garbage.
And remove delays on control alt. Why is there a delay on shooting when sliding?
