Of course it’s fun. The real fun is when you are doing all of it. Wrap shots, up a’s, back a, playing for damage, lancering to help a teammate, wall bouncing into a gib.

As I played four last night I noticed how much easier it was to just kill someone who was running towards the hill. In 5 its like the game blocks me from popping off a shotgun shot and let’s the other player kill me. I could do it so casually in four and now it’s a struggle.( unless I smoke a hill and you run through it)

yeah and doing it fast! that was so fun for me. shooting a wall making the enemy think i was shooting their teammate and quickly switching to my gnasher? fun.

doing fast bouncing, 180s to an air back a? fun

bouncing on the same wall like magikarp, shooting off the corner to a 180, bounce your butt on a wall and air back a? fun

those things have been nerfed, so my fun has been nerfed. im personally not concerned with anything in a video game i play other than the fun i have in it.

im not a fan of uber balanced mp games. i grew up playing it is what it is games.

never been one to worry about what is more skillful or not. if that is so important then we would all be playing the most skillful game ever - fortnite

This new tuning needs to go, I loved the game the way it was before. I voiced my opinion on this on numerous platforms so I don’t want to hear the excuse of “we asked for the feedback on the beta”. News flash, if you weren’t getting feedback on the beta, that means people weren’t playing it aka no one wanted to play it. Please go back.

GoW4 is just a much, much better video game in terms of consistency. I assume you’re playing core because you’re talking about pushing the hill, and although I barely played core in that game, that tuning is even more consistent than comp tuning, the only issue being the 10 bullet instadown lancers. There are some determining factors which cause me to believe that Up-A’s, wrapshots, reaxion shots — even the thing I hate the most roadie runs — are good to have in the game, but that’s when the shotgun has good range and power like Gow4 core, or Gow3. My issue is when you build a game around point blank gnasher fights, and most fights are ending in 1 shot, the animation kills just strip too much skill and nuance away.

Oh that first one is clever. You really have to trust the gun swap for that.

Yeah… but slower and more boring. I never said the tuning makes you not be able to do these things. I argued that it took skill to do it period.

I prefer faster movement, but I played a koth match last night that was as fun and chaotic and close as ive had in a long time. I could still strafe great. Could still slide to evade. Gnasher shots are more important now. And being accurate. Quite honesty i had fun. Again, prefer faster movement if I have a say in it, but I can still have a good time with it.

Yeah it was core. I played until I left becsuse the other team wasn’t capping and it was a 2v5. They were running around on us the last two players like they where pros. Pros with 140 ping pretending to be God’s.

Then I ate a hour and thirty minute ban because I couldn’t leave the game. One thing gow 5 gets right.

So I left and went to play destiny…and by play I mean run around for a second before my son took my controller and played it.

Back to 4. I agree, it’s justa. Better game and the fact tc just didn’t copy and paste that game to 5 is just mind blowing.

this is just from scrolling up for 20 seconds alone

we have had a very significant flood of new and returning forum members post their aversion to this tuning. it just shows us that TC’s excuse that the beta playlist being “out there and open to feedback” was poorly implemented.

how does TC rationalize the outpouring of players that took the time to complain about this but didn’t take the time to play and reject the Beta Tuning? maybe because they didn’t know how?

some players don’t even know what the beta playlist is, they didn’t know it could mean sweeping changes to a game they like to play, they don’t know where to disapprove.

the amount of those notifications i have seen over the past week…

i found this funny

what does it tell me? it tells me that the common player and TC are disconnected.

I truly believe there is a disconnection between them and a large part of their community. I have spoken to many people, both friends of mine and friends of friends, and not one of them likes this new tuning.

I understand these people are a small minority of players but there are a large number of players who have spoken out against this tuning that aren’t included in this. Look at these forums – the posts praising this tuning get a couple of thumbs up at best. The posts that state the tuning is hot garbage get 30+ thumbs up. Small sample size but it’s a huge difference between the two.

while i wait to find games on apex, i message people on my friends list to ask them their thoughs on the new tuning and not one has said they like it. sure, some have said it is alright but that it could be better. nobody prefers it to the previous one.

over the last 10 months or so, i have met so many people from the LFG and not one ever advocated for 4v4, delays, slower movement or any of that.

i think gears is such a niche game + small community that what we end up getting as approval is people shrugging their shoulders because they are simply not gonna go play another game.
