I love the beta tuning it feels really good and satisfying. Well balanced

[FitLuisBale11]

After several days playing this beta the change to the movement feels good.
Gnasher: the change is good, you no longer feel that anyone impacts you, although they should completely remove the aiming assistance since Gears has always been a game of skill and aim, in the game in general the aiming assistance is noticed as before specifically in precision weapons.

Lancer: I still think that the Gears icon weapon is now more than useless, the Lancer no longer manages to knock down the enemy when he is taking a map weapon as before to give an example, in his blog they commented that by reducing the speed of movement was necessary to decrease the damage to the Lancer which is something absurd, for example Gears of war 3 the game was not as fast as Gears 5 and yet the main weapons destroyed you.

Gnasher: with a good damage to cut distance that instead of getting 85% you got a kill and with more damage at a distance for example, 15 meters into the game and with two shots you got a knockdown, and you fight a rival straight at landing an active reload shot to the head would score a knockdown.

Lancer: a wider magazine, short and medium range damage plus the extra damage per active reload and with a stoping power to deal with a Gnasher, and for example, with a magazine you managed to knock down at least two enemies.

Snub: medium range damage not to knock down and kill but to make the opponent uncomfortable and force him to take cover, close range damage, two bullets left in the magazine when the enemy was already down, and excellent damage with active reload.

In conclusion:
Beta move, perfect, as a recommendation to the lancer with the beta damage that is now useless should not be changed, they should leave the lancer as it is in the game and return the active reload perhaps with a little less extra damage in This mechanic and if you change to the damage of the beta remove the recoil and if or if you add the stoping power, and completely remove the aim assist from the game, Gears is a game of skill and aim.

when they completely remove the aim assist it feels quite a lot, and I already know how it works and really those who understand that well will abuse it

[LBS_SPAWN]

I have a question when they will remove the assistance completely

In terms of MP you can’t tell me people enjoy the “tactics” of Gears, Gears is not even that complex of a game (compare top level Halo or CSGO for reference) so I think this idea that people just love to use cover and just hide all game is a fallacy.

People love Gears for its gore, for its intensity, for its aggressiveness. Imagine Halo but instead of sitting back and 4shotting people with a BR you are in somebody’s face gnashering them, the risk/reward is a lot higher than most shooters.

@Thee_Bluejay

From my own perspective I play Gears mainly because its a really “focused” game, its not like CoD or Fortnite where you can get killed from out of nowhere, its very focused in terms of how people play and such, everybody fights for pickup weapons, because its always 5v5 its more simple to understand what’s going on, that sort of thing. In other words, some people like chess (a slow meticulous game, with tons of strategy) and some people just wanna have fun and like Uno or Poker. Gears is the Uno in that situation.

@Thee_Bluejay

My point (why I rambled as much as I did) is that Gears needs to stick to what has made it successful, why people like it. Gears shouldn’t be trying to disable Wall cancelling or slower movement speed (I know tons of people that much preferred OP2 movement speed btw) as it kinda ruins the experience for people that actually do love it.

Dude, you snapped with your post here.
