One of the mayor problems with G5 was the continuation of eSports,
without eSports unnecessary tuning wouldn’t be implemented every 2 months lmao!
At this point TOD probably is gonna take longer probably every 5 months you may get some new content lol
for better or worse G5 was bad from Test Tech to Launch till now.
If TC is making G6, I just hope they learn something from this experience 
To be honest…Played from day one and loved this game but with everything that has happened and even more that hasn’t, I have no great expectation for op6.
Unless some major changes take place(which I doubt it) I’m happy for op6 to be last. Sorry but the game has ran it’s course for me.
I spend more time screaming in rage at gears then enjoying playing it and I’ve been one defending it since day one when everyone was hating it.

How long was 4 suppoted with maps, events and or modes? I can’t remember! Obviously my advancing years. 
How long were 1/2/3 supported? I don’t remember getting this much content on them? I think they will support it until the 2 years mark. Considering the users I think that’s pretty damn good. I’m expecting op8 to be the last.
I suspect we will see two more.
Op 6 and depending upon the changes an Op 7.
If Op 6 seems like autopilot, then that’s probably it.
I expect Op7 to be something along the lines of a road to Gears 6 like we had in Gears 4.
OP 7 will release in the fall. Giving us a year before Gears 6.
I really don’t nt think gears 6 will come that soon. Probably be still waiting for series x stock then 
TC didnt write G5. They outsourced it to a bunch of contracting agencies and/or independent contractors, that is crystal clear from looking at the credits (i had a thread on that).
So any conversation re “is TC technically good enough to make G6” is meaningless.
Also all the issues which are so horrible (at least for me) are the result of deliberate design choices, not any lack of technical skill (the likes of chainsaw reload bug i am convinced are unintended consequences of changes in button input processing, so lack of proper testing OR unwillingness to redo a core dynamic to fix what they felt was an acceptable ‘problem’).
Re op6, op7, etc: unless one of them.brings the ability to scrap unwanted content for coins, there is literally nothing they can offer to rekindle my interest in this game.
At the end of gow4 i was incredibly hyped for G5…
Now, i am negative towards g5 and totally indifferent towards future titles.
Gears 5 is finally good now, it would be a shame to end support so soon.
Now you know what I felt like when I played Halo 5 after 343 made a really good leadup to the game… then the story was almost nothing like they made out to be and also not particularly good besides some of the lore aspects they added. Not speaking to the MP which wasn’t bad but the story alone was bad enough - in my subjective view, of course - to make me reconsider if I will get the next mainline Halo title at its launch.
Just seems crazy how one title can make you reconsider years of dedication. I won’t say Gears 5 is the same to me, seeing as I’m clearly still here. I expect it to get support until at least the end of year 2.
G5 just killed any passion i felt towards PvP (and i felt a lot!)
PvE… It’s “OK”… I csn mske it work… But i just really… Resent the (IMO) stupid micromanagement of weapon selection per class and the huge increase of simple annoyance with some enemies (leeches knocking you out of cover, instant juvie executions, elite drones downing you in mid animation to go into cover, loss of effective class generic way to deal with fliers (dropshot nerf), etc, etc). Lack of ammo…
I dont feel like those add any challenges which i care to … Meet…
Indifferent is how i feel about PvE. Hostile about PvP
I really do hope they tweak the enemy variety in PvE before they decide to finally pull the plug on this game.

Hi
Highly unlikely I would think. We have all been begging for our beloved Locust Horde to return since 2016. I really thought we would get them in 4.0, alas not. I “blame” RF, for this. He wanted “HIS” Horde and not Epic’s/ CB.
However credit where it is due, the enemy variety in Gears5 is a massive improvement over Gears4 and we got a Locust or two!
Also the inclusion of a new and excellent Boss was most welcome.
I hope TC end on a bang with 6 (if that is their end with Gears) and give us the true Horde experience, i.e. Horde 2.5 
and Beast 2.0.
…please TC, make use of the new hardware.
Locust Forever.
I highly doubt Op6 will be the last the game only came out Sept 2019 so the game has only been out for 16 months ?
The gap between Judgement and Gears 4 was 3 years and the gap between Gears 4 and Gears 5 was 3 years.
Taking into account how the game has progressed over the years including game quality and the next gen consoles etc. Which Gears 6 would be playable on the XboxSeriesX and PS5 the game is going to be and needs to be a big improvement on 5 graphics and gameplay wise which means more time needs to be put into it to get it perfect. No one wants another game launch fail like 5 was so it is all going to take time. To add to it COVID might be slowing things down as well which for most businesses it is.
Chances are we won’t even hear about a new Gears game for atleast another year and a half if they end the Ops too soon they will start losing players people will get bored of it.
There is only so long people will play for with only new maps and skins, is there even any more characters left for them to add, They have ran out that much they have even added Tactics characters 
not so much Swarm but Cog. Most stuff they add is existing content old maps old skins from previous games, more old than new
If they do make it the last one the game is only going to get more boring until Gears 6 comes out. I am already getting bored of the same modifiers all the time and same combos on the pve challenges.

I hope gears dies completely.
Only way it will reborn with people who want to make a fun innovating game.
Just feels like they’re not feeling this game but want a paycheck.
The people who made this trilogy need to take a long break from a gears of war game.
I can tell from the animation & game play they want to be developers for fortnight or some other cute game.
Unfortunately for them Gears is a horror like shooter.
I don’t even have that much faith in 6. Knowing the creative design they’ll just reuse the same characters like they’ve been doing since 4.
Nothing new just different #.

Thats it and i bet they know it aswell.
Who knows that these changes they are making to Operations means its going to be bad anyways?
They changed the store, i think in the end we all got used to it.
They changed the classes thing everyone was complaining saying they won’t play as different characters and will stick to the same character class combo but i haven’t saw anyone in games actually do that since launch of Op5.
These changes they have in mind for how ops work might be great for the players.
Could be more ops more often or something completely different being put in place to make them better.
I doubt they would be like “ no more operations you will just get drip fed a map here and map there ever few weeks and characters skins will stay in the featured part of the store”
Where is the hype in the fan base for that? No one going to be like “i am excitied for future ops where all were getting are old redone maps 1 new map and old characters until gears 6”

There, I fixed your post.
Rather than just seeing your constant negativity how about some feedback on the new direction you want and fun innovations?

Is it really negative though?
I’m not trying to be personal to anyone either.
Just all this festering of a game I really really really enjoyed & loved. Everyone knew me as the “gears guy” since I was 12. They all knew I only played gears. So it’s not like I’m trying to be rude.
Yes I’m entitled to my opinion & if that triggers people I’m not sorry. It’s not like I’m talking down to anyone but just saying it how I see it.
As for Gears I want Gore, darkness, & modern tuning. Not the 09 gears 2 tuning, better servers, more ranked modes, creative enemies, more PvE events & modes. Beast mode.
I want this game to move forward & stop going 4 steps backwards then 5 steps forwards then 10 steps backwards.
They should’ve built off of 4 but it’s very apparent theirs an identity crisis. Am I supposed to defend that because I love this franchise?
Instead of praising TC I’m just being real. I’m not going to praise if theirs nothing to praise because I’m a fan.
What I meant by “letting it die” is just take a break from making any further gears games.
I rather have a full ready game than a game that’s still trying to find its identity a year or two down the line.
Not messing with tunings, not drip feeding content, not trying to be like fortnight with these cute emojis & blood sprays.
I love the executions but the emojis are so PG & super corny. That’s not gears at all, to me.
These Deebees gotta go. I know they want kids to play but that’s not gears either. They held on to the Deebees for too long. I roll my eyes hard everytime I see a deebee. It doesn’t even make any sense how leeches control them but can’t control humans too.
If you’re impressed with the current state of gears good for you. But I’m not.
Doesn’t feel like whoever is in charge appreciates this game.
Am I a bad guy for thinking that? Sure , fine. I’m terrible because I want more.
Maybe I’m negative , but i miss the game I grew up with but at the same time I don’t want it to go back to 09 standards. I want it to evolve , just like in any other franchise.
In every game , the game evolves. Even the Uno card game has evolved. Gears seems to be devolving.

Now that MS has a decent first party lineup I don’t think studios will be pressured to fill a holiday slot as much as they’ve been in the past. Winter 2019 was very slim for Xbox and Gears 5 was THE headliner for them.
the acquisition of Bethesda + other studios means games that aren’t ready will get a delay instead of being forced out the door.
Events are probably easy to keep going, even past the the point when the next game comes out. that stuff is in the game ready to go live at the flick of a switch. OSOK, TbowTag
I can’t remember when map support ended for Gears 4 but I don’t think it lasted over two years. Mostly because they gave us 1 map per month and it was plenty at that point
I wouldn’t be surprised if OP6 is the last operation that we have maps. OP7,8,9? All I see is cosmetic junk they can sell on the store. stuff that’s easy to churn out.
