starting to wonder if this is an attempt to try and push the playerbase towards Customs
not sure if they can change that aspect serverside. the TU is going through certification.
I think they’re going 4 person modes for two reasons.
- Less lag and ping for the servers to deal with.
- Quicker matchmaking.
I’m not saying i agree, i actually don’t care either way but those are the only 2 reasons i can figure out.

Can we stop, buffing/nerfing weapons all the time?
They’re fine as they are imo.
Rather increase the overall movement speed, instead of slowing it down even more… 
Game should be called: Gnashers of War, with all this shotgun meta all the time…

Like trying fixing a rotten pipe with tons of tape instead of replacing it?
Yeah sounds like TC, messing with other stuff overcomplicating things instead of fixing the real issue.

How TC got me
But for real, more disappointed.
Just after some pretty cool updates to campaign & content.
How can you nerf all the weapons when they are barely good enough to go up against the gnasher as it is, litterally what is the point of having map based weapons if they do not provide a benefit over the weapons a player spawns with? Who ever is coming up with these weapon update ideas doesnt really care about anything except the gnasher, shouldn’t map based weapons be a point of interest? Like “hey im gonna go get that wespon over there cause it’ll help me defend myself some how or give me and advantage if I pick it up” the only weapons worth going out of the way for are hammer burst, snipers and power weapons, the rest already have no advantage and now you gonna need them even further,
Yea makes so much sense

That’s how us Guardian folk have been feeling for half a year.
We’ve been subjected to Quickplay anytime we hop on Gears which is every couple of weeks. It’s either we steam roll and everyone quits by round 2, or we join a lobby that’s 1v2 and the game doesn’t connect anyone to our lobby. We then play two games of 3v2 then just quit Gears.
Its ■■■■■■■ horrible, and the #1 reason why I barely touch this game anymore.

They chopped my TDM too!
Wth is wrong with these guys.
Why they hate us 
@telekinetix because people suck & don’t realize they can get better so they come on the forums to complain their butts off until they get what they want.
@TC_Sera @GhostofDelta2 I feel bad for you awesome moderators having to put up with this. Y’all are too good for this franchise.

On paper, all of these changes sound amazing. Slowing the movement will fix so many things, all while increasing the skill gap/ceiling. The reduction in rifle damage will help balance this slower movement as well.
4v4 is also a great change. Especially for koth, to allow solo skill to be more present.
Only complaint is the removal of Gridiron. Ranked needs a competitive, single life mode.

If these changes actually get implemented im just straight up not playing.
Lancer does not need a nerf in any way.

The thing is. TC did so many changes in this update to encourage solo play and 4v4 was not needed.
I prefer playing solo, but even I recognize that all of these changes are too radical.
They are nerfing rifle weapons, they are increasing GP rewards for solo play, and they are are making koth 4v4.
In my opinion, if they wanted to decrease stacks in koth, this is not the way to do it. If the ranked system rewarded you for your score as an individual player instead of team wins, solo play would be more frequent. A simple change to the system could do that.
