Please remove this from the game. To kill an enemy you should actually be physically facing the person. No more fake kills and deaths please. Thanks

Agreed. My list of BS mechanics which should be removed:
- outer reaction shots
- inner reaction shots (wrap shot)
- back A - should have same delay as blindfiring
- slapshots
Theyāre fun to do but are also broken, stupid and they break balance.

How the heck does he kill you from around two corner up A?. I thought just worked on a single corner.
Basically it is an up A but you have to swing your crosshair over to the right spot and time it right.
Here, I did a quick demo to show you - just look at where the shots land and that should give a better idea. The second demo in this clip is similar to the above situation with a long column and shooting around it.

I like advanced mechanics like that. However, even though it benefits people like me who know how to do it, I do think the skill gap in this game is largely due to the screwball mechanics and I admit itās not a good thing for the game as a whole. The more one understands how to manipulate the broken parts, the more skilled they are. Iād rather the movements make sense so that the game feels smoother and isnāt so unappealing to new players who donāt understand WTF is going on with the nonsense deaths.

WOW!!!
I had no idea. This explains some of the angry moments i have gad when i was wasted in cover. I know the up A but that works like 50% for me. I have to practice this shot. If the game lets you do it then i need to practice cause others are capitalizing on it.
thanks for the VID

Like meow mix said, knowing the broken and funky mechanics equals a lot of the player āskillā.
I agree itās not the best thing because itās not intuitive at all and leaves a huge gap. I spent about 8 months playing before I started getting pissed at laggy kills and slowing clips down to review them. Then noticing whatās actually taking place, combined with knowledge from the forums and other YouTube vids.
A player who knows these mechanics, even if they canāt exploit them, but just that they exist - they automatically have a major leg up against newer players that donāt.
This on 2v2 boxes is straight up the worst thing ever. They can shoot and kill you in one shot from the other side of the middle tv box. Itās insane. I donāt even see them at all and most of the time donāt even hear them.

I had no idea of this and now im gonna run into the lab and practice.
I had done it successfully before slowly with right hand advantage by peeking around the right type of corners but never thought it can be done fast like as if itās an extended up Aā¦can agree will be loading some private matches to try and perfect this
The percentage of players who can actually execute this move with a fairly high success rate is small. Now look. Youāve just encouraged others to go learn it.
In my opinion the shot should stay because as I said thereās a very small percentage of the entire player base who know how to do it well. If everyone knew how then I might feel differently. I guess itās sort of like a bonus āskillā you get rewarded with after playing the game for so long, observing, and learning.
Iām curious what the majority of esports players and such feel about it as they encounter it all the time.

I agree wiTh you on this tbh I know itās not a general consensus for it to stay but if ur that skilled and have practiced it a multitude of times to perfect it then so be it and itās definitely not like every corner u post up at itās gonna happen to uā¦I think itās cheap to noobs just starting but then again thatās the point and reason with gears being so different is itās high learning curve compared to point and shoot like COD and thatās why I love gears so muchā¦I donāt consider it cheating or broken at allā¦if people think so then maybe then need to relive some gears 1 Kung fu flipping and crab walking as that was some cheating bs to encounter 
no matter how fun it was to watch and do back then

The problem with this is that itās ping based they can shoot you from around the corner without facing you at all it really is broken. Like why the hell would they add it? It really makes the whole cover based system of this game obsolete. Might as well just not take cover if it doesnāt work right? 10000% support OP.

Most Onyx and up players can pull this move off regularly, its easy. A basic Up A while turning your look camera towards the enemy. For the offender, its not ping based, its more sensitivity based. Whether you like it or not, thats up for argument. But if i was the OP, i wouldnāt expect anything different in that clip. I would of done the exact same thing to an injured opponent bailing behind a small cover. And to be honest, Iām surprised you didnāt expect it this late into the games development. You had a couple different options there to counter it.

This is why it seems like you die out of nowhere.
The person with a ā ā ā ā connection sees what you see in my demo clip aboveā¦ But the opponent will just see whatās shown in OPās clip. Magic Insta-gib.
