The game dropped from 30-35 on the microsoft top 50 most played games list to NOT being on it at all in the U.S.A the day the tuning dropped.
Just so you know.

I wallbon like crazy and still do quite a few kills, itās slower but that speed bust was stupid, the highest bust ever in any gear, operation 3 was the game breaker, things have to level them out though , by removing that speed, they should add greater fluidity when responding to the commands, do not confuse fluidity with speed, before what happened is that the one who ran throughout the map could shoot first for some things that he placed from operation 3, without However, it is easier to kill so all that they did is useless if they do not make a high nerf to the assistance this is what makes the game break, I am a more methodical player but I also do a lot of wallbonce, neither now nor before doing wallbonce has helped me to dodge shots in this gear, or at least the kind of wallbonce that used to be used in gears of war 3 and even in 2 it becomes pretty useless, but that stupidity of the update of operation 3 did or long wallbonces that you run like an idiot along with some things they put in from operation 3 makes you shoot faster than the one who is still trying to hit their shots, thatās why they slowed down, but this game will still break if they donāt eliminate that assist to shoot, if you know how the assist works, you can abuse it, this game is just an aid to aim, and that nerf in the shots that stupid, those shots are broken thanks to the help so op

a game with that much assistance requires aiming? Iām sorry but itās a big lie, I donāt see the change in the movement wrong, however this is far from being a classic gears of the original saga, this game aims for you and I know that they reduced the assistance a bit more if before it was at 100 % based on a previous update at this time I remain at 75% but the game being slower is basically the same as before but slower, if you know how to abuse the shooting assistance you will destroy anyone even if the other wants to try to give all their shots, assistance and making the game so casual is what makes the game this and continues broken the reason that the up and back are broken, these are cold water cloths that are useless if the problem of root, the excessive assistance and the ease of the wallbonce and it is not necessary to see the walls to do it, if you have an alternative with reassignment of buttons you will have an even greater advantage you just have to worry about moving and even in that the rest does the game, the prox imo gears you wonāt even have to touch the control, the game will do it for you :v
I dunno you can still wallbounce plenty.
Lancer is much better than it was on the previous tuning. They got rid of the awful random bloom which means more headshots and longer effective zoning. They had to lower damage on it as the game is now.
All the rifles have more effective oppurtunity to be used more often without wallbouncing speed boosts. Them taking two-three more shots to down isnāt a nerf at this pacing except Hammerburst that weapon still really sucks.

Whatās so hard on how youāve died ? ???
Itās either downed by a lancer
Killed by a power weapon
Chainsawed
Up a from a gnasher
A reaction shot off a cover
A back a off cover
Or a air back a ( a shot whiling slide cancelling )
Itās actually not hard to understand the game itās been out for a year and abit

What you stated is all truth and nothing but. Its sadly the state Gears 5 is in today. I have said how TC killed the skill gap since day 1. Just when you think it cant get worse. But time and time again TC manages to do so.
I swear every tuning TC plans for they sit down and figure new ways to make this game easy. If I wanted easy I would play Mario Cart.

So it basically penalizes you for playing aggressively

Iām just waiting for God of War: Ragnarok. I made up my mind last year that Iād be getting Sonyās console first. Gears is the only reason I still use my Xbox and after this new update along with the region lock issue, net-code and lag advantage, Iām done playing. Gonna hang around these forums to watch this dumpster fire of a scenario pan out.

Is definitely not what most of your remaining player base is thinking TC. It feels like you are genuinely trying to kill the game on purpose at this point. I have no idea who is lead multiplayer designer or head but he needs to be demoted straight away. Not that I care anymore because I already stopped playing this as much and just do occasionally now here and there.
But really no bashing but just look at the backlash you get from the remaining players, I think this was the last straw for them and you made half the remainder quit. Consider working on a revert (or at least a 2nd tuning that actually works for the other players if you need more players.)
Alas this is all falling on deaf ears, so this is for (the gears community) just an attempt to console your aching hearts. My sincerest apologies on behalf of TC my friends, was a good run i will be lurking here <3 you all. MWAH!

Most definitely.
A few buddies wanted to try it today so I reluctantly joined them while hoping it wasnāt as bad as the developer playlist was yesterday. Unfortunately, the only thing I found out was that it was indeed just as bad.
I think I can live with the slower movement but I canāt enjoy the slower weapon swaps and every action creating a delay. Itās just not entertaining to play a game this slow paced.

my exact thoughts. yes, there are pros and cons for this and that, but i think the enjoyment of the community is being thrown under the bus.
i legit rather play with no wall cancel but no delays rather than this tuning

LOL,
Maybe the time of night has a lot to do with this. 
But I wouldnāt be surprised if the numbers continue to drop on all platforms as the week goes on. Itās normal for players to come back after an update only to leave shortly after. The question is will this update cause an even larger drop in players or will it help the game gain traction.
The majority of my friends donāt enjoy it. A few will continue to play from what they tell me but only because this is the only game they play and thatāll continue even with their dislike of the tuning. Others said theyāre done completely until a full revert.
In the end, to each their own. This is a video game after all. If TC decides a less skilled campfest is their idea of Gears so be it. This isnāt my idea of fun though.

Lol the common player is absolutely for it. Or do you think they enjoy dieing over and over with someone not aiming at them and never actually knowing how they died

No the common player is NOT.
The player base just halved in 3-5 hours!
The data is thereā¦
@Krylon_Blue Iām all out of likes so this will do! What a shameā¦
I coin this era āThanos Coalitionā as half the population flees in a matter of hours!
