They can do all these drastic changes but won’t implement something as simple as taking aim assist off of ranked. Every kill cam I see someone who misses me a tad to the left or right and still gets a gib or a 4 point shot. Put this in the hands of a decent player and he turns into a god. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place because I want to turn it on but when escalation still existed it was turned off by default. Now I’m reading that aim assist tuning that was on esca WASNT the same as just turning your actual tuning off so idk wtf to do. What are most of you playing on
Please bring gridiron back to ranked! That is all we play and the 4v4 is great. Can’t wait to play 4v4 gridiron in ranked!!!
Man that beta tuning playlist is so much better than normal. Everyone on here crying about just confirms how good it is. Finally it rewards aiming more and not who hits a the fastest to make them play make believe thinking they’re good at the game. Current tuning the combat is so boring I check out after 1 round of koth
If I actually need confirmation how small minority this place is river the map people on here cry for for years has been up to vote 4-5 times and it’s gotten a grand total of 1 or 2 votes lol

@Kayshaun_Bieber the kill cam is a composite of your game cam and your opponents game cam. Its not accurate because of lag comp brother. You cant look at the kill cam and base anything off that. Ive died from players looking in the opposite direction of where I was…because my ping and his ping are different. Aim assist doesnt make you a god in this game.
It looks and plays great to me, wonderful remaster
How good is nexus though? Already up there with one of my favourite maps
I find the changes enjoyable. If people want fast-paced PvP, please play Titanfall 2. Gears 5 isn’t “that” game and it shouldn’t try to be.
Bottom line: I’m gonna give it a few days before making any final judgments on the new balance changes.
It was like it was 2008 all over again playing Gears 2 
sigh. Slower movement ? Who wanted this?
Lancer, nerfed beyond all recognition.Its now an air-rifle. Nerf the Boltok? It already is pretty nerfed and almost never picked up by anyone.
The "tunings " and changes in this game are not so much done with a scalpel ; more like chainsaw. When I played Halo 4 they did occasional tunings and nerfed some of the more outrageous examples of OP weapons. But nothing like this. 4v4 KOH? Who was clamoring for this?

The slower speed balances the lancer nerf

yes, everyone can see the flame. it reminds me a bit of the halo 4 ffa.
puts a target on your back, gets more people to flank you. it’s all good, more kills for you, but it sucks when they target you with power and pickup weapons.
Thats because of koth was not competitive
?? News to me.
My 2 cents about the 4v4 in KOTH: seems ok but the score should raise to 240 (ranked) / 300 (social).
I believe nobody would complain about it. With largers maps this solves the respawn problem?
You are continuously ruining this franchise by making bad decisions.
-
LAG/Connection/Community
Separate the countries already. How long has the community been requesting this? We should not be playing with people outside of our nations. This is a multiplayer game. Distance matters!
Stop this.
Separate the United States and Central and South America. What is the deal with this?
Why does this developer or Microsoft demand this?
It isn’t hateful. Stop making excuses. Separate us!
No amount of tuning and retuning will ever fix anything. You are wasting time and resources and your customers will never stop complaining about “fixing the gnasher.” It can’t be “fixed” under these circumstances. -
PLAYLISTS
This game simply has too much separation between the playlist.
So we can NOT separate the community by nation and distance BUT it can be separated by numerous playlists???
Make it make sense!!!
Streamline this experience. Other games do not attempt to have this many playlist for a reason.
While there was a slight decrease there are still too many playlist.
If social or rank has to be combined then so be it.
Wait times are too long. Social can’t even fill a 10 person lobby. -
FFA
-for all the solo players complaining about STACKS. This is the solution. NOT limiting teams
you refuse to ever send an invite or friend request or be social then that is YOUR choice. Stop ruining a multiplayer team based game so it caters to your issues. -
Team Deathmatch
-We simply need a kills only game mode. -
King of the Hill
-We simply need an objective game mode. -
Social Rotation(All other game modes and special events)
-A place for all other modes in a rotation or quick vote -
Custom Lobbies Servers
- for private matches and allow us to create our owns maps and share them here like in Escape.
-
Movement speed is much too slow all round. Speed the characters back up and decrease that terrible turn ratio.
These are characters, not tanks or trains. Why is the turning angle so wide? It is just nonsense.
Remove ALL delays from the game. The community has been asking for this forever, yet you devs just refuse to budge.
What other franchise does any gamer ever want slowed down responses to their actions?
STOP THIS MADNESS.
We can’t even run right away when the match starts due to the silly delay of the game not allowing us to run instantly after the game launches. This is bad game design. If I tell my character to run. It needs to run. STOP THIS.
Shooting delays? Why would we want shooting delays at all in a shooting game? What other game is there where people actually desire this? -
4v4 does not make the game feel better or more competitive. Look at the new Regency map. It is not enough players filling a map that size with only 4v4.
All this does is make the game a gnasherfest.
It is a one weapon game and that is boring. If crossing is that big of an issue, then your map design needs to change. More cover and allow easier traversal is the solution. Not cutting characters so entire lanes simply aren’t covered.
That is only reason players want this. They want a one weapon game dominated by the shotgun. -
MAPS we can’t just keep playing these same old rereleased maps. It is just uninspiring and limits any true ability to ever evolve the game.
Bring verticality back.
Yes, I said it. Judgment actually made an improve to the game with it.
It makes no sense to be this limiting.
Allow us to traverse the maps more.
Add more cover if necessary but increase the size of the maps and/or complexity of the map design. -
Rifles can NOT be primary starting weapons and support/suppressive fire only weapons.
-This is an absurd concept and will never make the game logically make sense to new comers, meaning this franchise will simply never grow again.
Your multiplayer plays completely different from single player. It makes no sense to people.
This is way new people sit there blaring a rifle at people and they have just been getting dominated by experienced players for years…because in single player and PVE it simply isn’t how you play the game.
Multiplayer can’t be the exact opposite.
Having to keep a beam on people for a whole clip basically just to get a down is nonsense. Change your map design The solution is not to weaken the rifles at all. -
Weapon diversity and pickups
Again, this is something Gears 3 and even judgment got right(minus the one starting weapon, which was really just a cheap and poor development idea to limit the gnasherfest anyway).
Bring back all the rifles and pistols.
This is just so limiting.
Lancer and Gnasher only starts just forces the game to be all about the Gnasher. Which we have been told for years and years is not what the developers want.
But …
When the only starting rifle is a boring spray weapon and any other weapons require you to run and pick them up away from the battle, it just pushing them out of the playing field.
Allow us to start with multiple rifles again.
Bring back First Person Perspective on the rifles again.
1st person hammerburst was an amazing aspect of gears 3.
Add it to all the rifles, Lancer, Hammerburst, Markza etc etc.
What other shooter is cutting weapons to one and being successful???
This community has to get past this idea of the gnasher being the deciding be all in the battles/gameplay.
It is so stale.
This does not mean it needs to be weakened or that the game needs to be slowed down.
Add more variety and actually make the rifles fun AND difficult to use and master.
The gnasher dominates and is consider the only “skill” based weapon besides the Longshot sniper for a reason.
The rifles need to be rifles.
Also, The BOTS need to be removed from this game.
No other game do we as players desire to play against BOTS.
That is what PVE is for!!!
Get these BOTS out of PVP and only in PVE where they belong.
Nobody wants to play on a team with BOTS on it.

Ohhhh, BS…
In GoW4 I have PLENTY of “whoa!!” moments in KOTH, be it triple/quads with explosives, or a dropshot headshot from miles away on someone who was about to cap when we were 179-179, or a quint Drop, etc, etc… One of my favorites - FOUR boomshot QUADS in a single game, on Gridlock… they just kept TEAM CAPping even after they saw what I was doing to them, lol…
Yes, there were no Clutch medals, since it wasn’t that type of a mode; it’s fine for you to say you enjoy/love a mode like Gridiron, but it’s pure BS when you try to put another mode down, especially when you probably didn’t play it with the right people and/or on the right level…
@Metal_Gear_Mo and @Krylon_Blue will probably also disagree that KOTH doesn’t have “whoa” moments…

I’ve been down 179-50 in a 1-1 match and I got the break at the last moment to keep it there. We won 180-179

I can’t wait to try this after seeing how polarizing we are being. Please just tell me the new maps are in the blitz playlist lol.
Most maps might be too big. I agree with the idea of more creativity with map design like judgementn did.
TC might want to make two versions of mp. One to please those who like cqc and simpler gameplay. One to please those who want the lancer to be this slayer weapon. If that means making a battle royale game then go for it. I’m up for anything to expand the debate beyond gnasherfests and OP lancers.
they need to pick another color. it just looks like a stinky character with yellow/green

I think the verticality would need to be severely reduced. It was insane in judgment. On blood drive those square balconies down from the stairs before nades, I think that would be the highest u should be allowed to jump from. Also the rifles are weak on purpose. It’s not just a shotgun game it’s a lancer them then shotgun them game. I love the rifle play but the point of gears is to have epic back and forths the with strong rifles u don’t get that at all.
