I try a couple of games today to give it a try.

I don’t have any problem with the movement anything to make this game move it into another way but just wallbouncing like a headless chicken hoping to hit something
But the insane amount of nerfs doing to mostly any weapon… I mean ¿Why?
And all comes with all the other issues in this game.
There’s is no actually any gameplay style

*I mean why should I care about lancer when snub has better recoil and damage even a long range.
*Why talon Is a thing in this game when it’s so low powered and meat shields are one of the most horrendous defensive features in this game.
*Why do we have the breaker mace when you literally dead just to the attempt to use it.
*Why do we have smoke granades when you just blind yourself and the enemy team can see your figure shape clearly.
Why should I care about cover when you try to shoot anyone behind the other side of the barrier the game just take the Tactics logic "It’s doesn’t matter you have him just in from of you you will just do 34%.
At this point the game just have pickups jus for the ilussion of variety.

Yeah, 16 months later and countless updates
-Enemy mines still can be see by the enemy TAC COM,
-Lancer still the WORST in series a total disgrace as a riffle.
-Gnasher still works as it wants it.
-Smoke still blinds yourself but no the enemy.
-Footsteps still non existent in this game.
-Theres is no real variety of weapons in this game
Since markza, boltok , enforcer ,talon and lancer are useless.
-Meatshield still the worst defensive method you can attempt to try.

I have no real reason to stick around to this game
16 months is far enough to say this game is beyond balance or a decent state.
I just came back because Operation 5 and the Escape update, but of course they ended screwed that too trying to make me play forever with the XP nerf.

I will be waiting for some Marcus Fenix Collection in the best of cases or when Gears 6 will come. In the meantime I’ll stay in 4

So now the Gnasher is more OP since these nerfs will be applied?

Yep,
Lancer is a joke right now.

They can say it is only a couple more bullets but it is just enough to make you not have in surety that you can down someone.
combine that with the slower weapon switching and now I don’t even want to “soften up” a target and quickly switch to gnasher and bounce because…the weapon switching is so slow you are dead.

it is horrible.

What a boring time to be a Gears fan.

In my opinion all of those guns were stupid powerful to begin with, so good. We don’t need OP pistols as spawn pick ups in gears, or smgs. The claw was ****ing obscene. I’m fine with these. I don’t know if the gnasher has been changed but it felt different yesterday when I played.

I wasn’t a huge fan of gears 4 because of the core settings they were also bad particularly the gnasher and of course the Lancers. The competitive playlist was much better.

As far as gears 5 goes I’m fine with them nerfing un fun guns that were too powerful to begin with. I wouldn’t mind a gnasher nerf too (while removing the terrible delays) to make the gnasher battles more fun. Just my 2 cents.

Lol, statement 1 totally explains statement 2…

Lmao

So…you don’t like this game because of what changes TC made but you think TC will make a good remake of the others?

well, to be honest, I liked GoW4 PvP, and that was TC…

so they ARE able to do a good (IMO) game… they just have to CHOOSE to do so… and give up on this stupid idea that they just need to change EVERYTHING about the game, to make it ‘their own’, and people will still flock to it…

So TC had the stance to make other weapons viable in Gears 4.

They said numerous times that the game didn’t keep new players because they would load in, get gnashered in the face a few times and quit.

Isn’t that all we will have now?

Gears 5 pvp has felt off from the get go.

From the little I’ve played, it made me miss Gears 4, which I felt I was actually good at.

I may try the new tuning, but that also means dealing with the horribly unbalanced teams and quitters again.

I know, right?

I’m ok with the snub nerf. ROF is too high.
Also ok with sniper nerf and Overkill nerf. I guess the claw nerf is fine too even though they barely put it in PVP. It was pretty OP

Some of the other ones I don’t get. Why nerf the Talon ,Boltok , Markza and Enforcer? Most people don’t use any of them to begin with. Now they are even worse . If anything theses should all get a slight buff. People would make a play for them and actually fight for them if they were good weapons. That would change up the gameplay. Mostly they just sit there unused. Except I did get a rad headshot with the Boltok yesterday. Splat!

Wby not nerf everything so you have to be literally inside someone to kill them…

Could have also just Ctrl+F on the webpage and search for “reduced”, would have come up with basically the same results. :slight_smile:

Yeah I’m sure the guns won’t kill anyone at all. Maybe the problem is the players who want to get easy kills with OP guns. Regardless of anything like the weapon balance gears 5 isn’t in a good place at all, so there’s that.

I didn’t kill a lot of people with the previous tuning. Kills dont come easy when you play at higher levels.

On the flip side maybe you need a the game to be slower in order to get kills…

Lol didn’t mention movement in my previous post only the weapon balance. I think the damage the guns give might have more to do with easy kills than small changes in movement speed though. When you have OP guns and mechanics to appease noobs, experienced players also can and will take advantage of those same things. What high levels are you referring to? Apparently the high level players like the new tunings.
