I noticed something different after last update. It happens only on PvP, cuz on Horde or Escape mode is normal. The character speed is lower. Why.? Switch between guns is lower, running slower, taking cover slower, doing wallbounce slower, aiming at the enemy slower.
What the hell? What’s the point of that? I’m not playing as a turtle.
I play on PC, by the way.
Have you been living under a rock for the last couple of months? This is a tuning TC implemented in Versus on purpose on the basis of “a lot of positive feedback” but I’m not sure I’m seeing where the support is amidst the general playerbase, albeit I do only read the forums and more rarely Twitter. Certainly hasn’t received a particularly positive response ever since it was put in for “testing” into the game in a separate playlist.
Edit
Existing discussion :
It is weird as hell! Gears of War used to have a frenetic, fast n insane gameplay and I was used to it. I mean, that was the porpuse of the game, being insane and frenetic.
But this is NOT Gears of War! This is Gears! Different game!
You really didn’t know this was coming?
Nah, I’m not keeping myself posted about the news.
A lot of people don’t keep up with Gears of War news unless something is wrong and affecting their gameplay
hence the OP
Did u just say that for real? Good lord… What you’ve just said, is one of the most insanely idiotic things I’ve ever heard. At no point,in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational fhought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points , and may God have mercy on your soul.
It’s the new terrible tuning TC forced upon the majority of the community since a few “Pro” morons and useless Content “Creators” said ”this good, me like.”
From another view, it’s a fantastic move by TC to counter the success and positivity that Operation 5 brought.
Enough said.
The point is to make it easier for bad players to get kills so they can call it “skill”…
i think that is TC’s specialty, going too far or not doing enough.
absolutely, i loved that tuning
@DoomsDay_Elite join the boycott
@GB6_Kazuya it irks me that these “content creators” are on no side but controversy. just fan the flames and look out for their own interest. i know that’s not all of them though.
@AmicableWall421 shall we demand a recount?
What???
He got the 
And Still same kids are here defending slower game , maybe i’m “old School” , but i have still learn to play faster game ,and i play only Ranked , if they made that change only social , this threat would have only couple answer , but now it’s something that i dont wanna play anymore on Ranked level ( roadie run is slow that i can make coffee while running) , but for sure i’m in social side kicking some noobies ■■■ and thanking them my own way .
" Good that Horde & Escape still works "
The thing is all these comments saying you just need to get good at the new tuning its not that, even with all these slow bot new tuning i still come top off my team 99% off the time i can still play good but that just shows that its not the point its just no were near as enjoyable as it is when it was really fast movement, i can still get loads off kills in a game but what i loved the most was like if i played tdm and i was last one left with no lives and they had lives full team against me i used be able out play everyone and clutch games but now because its so slow if 2 or 3 people come at you at once and have a decent shot you can’t bounce round them and kill them all because you move like you got bricks in your pockets its so clumpy movement caterd for noobs
From whom???
This is why I refuse to play till the tuning is reverted or something done, it was playing really good, minor things or other problems not to do with tuning.
Like net code and servers, which, it’s sad that when asked they say they will look into it and there’s no word on it, not in their trello when I looked other day.
It’s been like that since launch even all the way back in September in developer streams up until the last one people were asking questions or making comments about it just to get ignored…
I’m convinced too they don’t listen or like @Goodacre said
I’ve been asking for this like many others for months! I went back on old streams on YouTube and comments in forums to see overwhelmingly negative responses,
Not to mention we reply more in here than I see in general on the gears of war and the coalition twitter accounts. Even on twitch, last stream was majority negative comments about the tuning, even those that liked few of the changes were unhappy with other changes.
The developer playlist has been up for while went on it when it first was out played a few wasnt content was whatever went back to playing ranked cause was fine I don’t get how they can say that people should’ve given feedback then like so many did, so many, or people were whatever about it cause again another tuning like I’m so over having keep start over with this game cause they want to change the tuning.
I’m not saying some things don’t need be tweaked or they can’t find good ground but like it was playing good, really my problem more so was the percentages that come with point blanks, or the more boring slow games even at diamond/master level because I tried to like 4v4 was good for while but it’s just less fun less going on.
Also, the fact that there’s not many modes to play with friends or in stacks, even then I was playing but after this thing and all that in mind I have no incentive to play. Feel like them trying lessen camping made it worse, point couldn’t play my favorite mode tdm especially since cant play with friends.
Then you see the gradual move into what we have right now and how past times they brought up the developer playlist and it accidentally got implemented in ranked, and the outrage, like there’s your data… they talk about in game data here but I feel like that’s misleading 41:40 https://youtu.be/_hm7RTmwqn0
I was talking to someone in chat on last stream and said something along lines of ‘it doesn’t feel like they listen to us in the forums’ 42:25 https://youtu.be/_hm7RTmwqn0 which Dana to my surprise commented on which I appreciate.
I can’t recall remember everything he said but there’s the link he mentioned they have tracking tools across all platforms, which Dana oversees, and they use those tools to analyze or put similar posts together and such. That it’s not true they do listen or look and get general sentiment.
But I’m just here like even though I do see some people that like it I see more negative comments than positive, and even if it’s about reverting will just mean we get another stream of other half not being happy… kinda misleading like which one is it if majority show this tuning is good.
Which brings me to wonder about the other ways they track feedback like game designers playing or the ‘in game data’.
Like I don’t have Facebook, Instagram, and twitter, but this could easily be resolved by having an in game vote or survey and make it for coins, kinda how they do esports, I can assure you not as many people would watch if they didn’t include skins.
When he explained the in game data and what they use, that could easily be misleading, like I don’t hate king but I wouldn’t be playing it so much if I had tdm or guardian or another mode in ranked I could play with friends, that I enjoy way, way more. Sure it’s more complicated maybe I misunderstand based off it but just basing off how it was explained that’s what I get.
Even when someone said in stream there needs to be formal vote and they only accounted from viral tweets from pros. Dana said it wasn’t true and they look at socials, in game data, game designers feedback no word on the formal vote, and you see some of these tweets and the fact all of it was just implemented when you see such negative feedback even by some content creators and it’s just shocking.
Even when there’s been overwhelmingly positive feedback they’ve gone back on stuff.
Really feels like esports scene is forced on us and the game itself I understand not wanting to have different tunings like 4 but they strayed so far away from 4 when they should’ve built on it. This game was feeling so good, we were getting new maps and content, then this happened, and I’m in utter shock still, even though knew could happen the moment they brought back that developer playlist based on before. So much good happens then some bad that tarnished the good and seems sudden and like no one asked for, this is why people think the forums aren’t actually taken into account or feedback in general or negative cause some of this stuff is so sudden.
Also, when talking about population, yes so many more people than before have been playing again which is awesome and also expected when new updates and such if it’s maintains more that’s awesome cause it tends to down after, but I think it’s more than what they see, I see the dedicated multiplayer fan base get smaller and smaller, talking about pvp here not pve I’m sure lot more people play pve.
All I ask is that if they can’t revert for whatever reasoning and build off of that or some actual small tweaks instead of this new tuning we got that delays everything to point I feel myself playing my controller fighting the game to move faster or how I do then they need to figure something out, these delays are unnecessary, start up roadie running and continuous roadie running is way to slow to be enjoyable.
They fix this, add more modes I can play with friends and not escalation (I understand some like, but feels forced at this point, but I understand wanting your mode back, as long as we get other team modes I can play with friends on) and then more focus on maps ide be so happy I think this game would be amazing… be nice if ranked was a grind too but just want be able play and have fun again…
If they had time to add support for mods or map builder support be great too, shame it’s in the state it is which same looks and layouts even recycled when they made new hives. Till then, I’m gonna have to take yet another break, I was surprised they said this would be the last tuning it was honestly getting to such a good point before this, I think they were close…
I hope they make changes and I can come back to this game again or I’m gonna have to play other gears which isn’t the same in a good and bad way, like they’ve come so far with movement and such from old gears in a good way but this tuning threw that all away for me.
Just tired that over a year later, 5 operations in we are still beta testing, they were so close I remember at one point one tuning this game was soooo soo good too maybe op 3? I dunno, just tired of all these tuning and ‘adapting’ and such.
Seeing how they did so many things including tdm and then later king, just made a post and implemented change suddenly just like that… doesn’t sit right with me and I tried to give them a chance even when they got new people on their team… see how it is in few weeks or months ig see if it’s worth even trying or what’s happened or if it’s dead by then…
Can’t even bother to grind tour just play other games that are actually fun and I enjoy maybe find another online multiplayer game with some ranked that has good community and one they listen to just sucks cause no other cover based shooting game like gears.
Stay well, everyone.
Living in the middle of nowhere?
That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that living in Chicagoland is the middle of nowhere…
I could always find matches but when I was solo it always placed me onto the Texas server which was filled with Mexico players and their connections were even worse back then. When I played with East Coast friends I either got an Eastern server or one in Illinois which was the one I should have gotten more often anyway. Those were mostly USA based players which made the experience more enjoyable and less laggy.
Ummmm yes? You can certainly do the same things in both tunings. I never denied that. My point is that by slowing the movement, you limit gameplay dexterity. Can you wall bounce? Sure. Is it more likely to get you killed because it’s way easier to track now? Yes. This new tuning favors defensive gameplay and punishes aggressiveness. And it sucks.
That’s really all I’m saying.
