Lol shotguns are not the dominant gun on those maps. All fathers is more of a mixed bag depending on the team. Weve been lancered heavied and shotgun heavied an equal number of times. Whether you are running on frag hill you are gonna get lancered from at least three directions if the team is good.
Reactor is more like the shock frag hills. You set up in time and it’s hard to break the hill. They can lancer and pin you if done right.
The maps on gears one where fairly big.
War machine was huge. Mansion is a decent size. Are they river sized? No. But it still took a minute to get where you needed to go.
He was saying. Feel like a fighting game with how u put inputs in, its like mortal kombat, in a sense. Input wise
TC, Can we have Assists count as Assists instead of Eliminations? They are not the same thing. Thank you.
So your point is that every map in Gears 5 is lancer dominant? I suspect your just arguing semantics.
I was (and have been over a very long career 
) arguing that the lancer is OP, your just saying its more OP lol, I don’t really see the difference lol.
How can you seriously look at Gears 5 maps and not think they are huge? Bunker, Icebound, Pahanu, Vasgar, now some of the maps aren’t this huge but give me some Gears 1 maps that were this large… Tyro Station is about all I can think of. I wasn’t saying all Gears 1 maps were Raven Down sized, but don’t ignore the voluptuousness of them Gears 5 maps, they’re THICC lol.
Exhibit doesn’t seem that big to me… it’s just drawn out in PvE because of the camper Drones and nobody seems to want to go anywhere but the spawn on that map.
Side note : If huge maps are an issue why does no one ever seem to have issues with Dam? It’s massive!
People who won’t like it will be noobs who doing kills with an horrible aim, these changes are targeted to players who have accurate aim in the shots, noobs will bassically have to train themselves
Oh I’m sure they are larger given tech…but gears one where big as well…
And all maps are lancer fests these days.
Play checkout on koth it’s a lancer fest it needs to be nerfed less powerful and gears is about shotgun battles not lancering, it’s a good thing there fixing it
I forgot about Dam 
You can include that one too.
Gears is all about mixing it up and knowing which weapon is best for a situation. Those Gnasher only KotH playlists are boring as hell and I’m a Gnasher player at heart. But I also use my Lancer to break into and hold a ring which is what you seem to dislike.
You can get through Onyx and maybe to Diamond with Gnashers only. But high Diamond/Masters is where you really learn where the true skilled players show up. Mindlessly shooting a Gnasher isn’t skillful. Using your brain for movement and weapon choice is skillful. Don’t be mad you got crossed by a Lancer. They’re not that powerful and I rarely die to them. I just don’t run in the open like a chicken with its head cut off.
Thank you!!! 
I’m waiting for him to come back and say 5 Lancers aren’t fair. I’d counter with the argument that running into a group of 3+ Gnashers is also a terrible idea.
Also, the decision to make TEAM deathmatch less “teamy” is asinine. There are modes if you don’t want to play with a team. Both 2v2 Gnashers & FFA are still available as ranked modes.
TC, why are you pandering to solo pvp players who insist they want to play with a team but not be team players? These are the same guys who run into the open with just a gnasher & are draining the life pool in these games, because they insist they are “amazing players”. They literally make up HALF the gears community. If MANY others didn’t want to play in stacks, there would be less stacks & there would be no complaints about stacks …Don’t you think? Forcing duos & singles does not stop camping. I don’t understand what you guys were thinking & I guarantee you will lose alot of the same players whom were rallying to get TDM back.
I am Master, I get mixing it up feels good I like the balance of mixed weapons in gears always have you need the perfect balance, I find gnashers only is boring as hell aswel but the point I was making is that the lancer was never more dominant than the gnasher so it’s ruining the flow of the games that’s why they are ruducing the damage to stop noobs lancering across the map spawn killing people, people always leave because they spawn and die constantly it’s not how gears should be.
They die because they refuse to play the game the way it was always meant to be played. If they can’t run around like an incoherent moron they don’t want to stay. They’re the same players who think they’re good until they realize more skill is involved than just running around with a Gnasher and then they blame the most ridiculous things such as rifles for their shortcomings.
(This isn’t directed at you FYI. Just responding to your point)
You think lancering someone is more skill than getting a clutch and killing the whole team with a gnasher? You must love cod, they run in there to catch a ring how else are they gonna play? Koth is boring as hell, when tdm comes back no more noobs with lancers. If they do then it’s skill as it’s map control on tdm which takes skill not running into a ring and dying by a lancer.
Ah, the whole “CoD” assumption. No, I can’t stand that game. Using that argument proves you have nothing to back yourself up. And no, I don’t “need” a Lancer to do well. You can ask plenty of people who have played with me including our fellow moderator @GhostofDelta2 and they’ll tell you I am fully capable of going into an odd-man Gnasher battle and coming out on top. The skill comes from not being a one tricky pony and acting like one weapon should dominate all other weapons. You don’t want a balanced game but rather a boring “Gnasher rules all” game. I love the Gnasher but modes where only one weapon is used is boring. There is less skill involved in using a Gnasher and only a Gnasher. You don’t have to be aware of your surroundings and worry about other play styles. You just know they have to be point blank and that’s about it. How exciting. One weapon play.
And KotH boring? To each their own but it requires constant movement and strategy. Something not required in most TDM matches as the one objective is kills and once you lock down an area with power weapons you can basically hold it or wait for a round end based on lives left. Don’t worry though — TDM will still have Lancers. It always did. Always will.
Isn’t aimed at you personally just talking about your point. Everyone goes on about power weapons in tdm, you never really win with power weapons boom shot is only 2 kills and sniper is 8 bullets so you have to be good if you have a good team mate that can use snipe but tdm is mainly map control and killing the other team it’s more skill than koth and cod is a bad example I do like warzone it’s fun, hopefully the new update will make gears fun again.
