    @AtrioxCP @Goodacre0081 @CoalitionGears I mean deleting shader cache fixes my performance issues

  • Sander_1000408 Lrd Sander (@Sander_1000408) reported

    @CoalitionGears The Medals of escalation are not working

  • _Xcentrique S (@_Xcentrique) reported

    @ComboChrist @GearsofWar Refer to my tweet above. Additionally, creating the tweet takes a few seconds, playing the game takes much longer. Stating facts about the game not working as intended is less complaining, more an attempt to bring the issues to the forefront so the dev doesn’t lose sight of them

  • Starla73 Starla (@Starla73) reported

    I guess it's time to find new people to play @GearsofWar with even tho I don't have an issue with randoms I don't gotta talk to them. Hmmm maybe I'll even find a new game either way I don't really care anymore. Football this weekend #Billsmafia #LetsGoBuffalo

  • Themadn1nja Joshua (@Themadn1nja) reported

    @CoalitionGears Hahaha was in a match the game disconnected and then i get a ban for it??? Fix your game

  • AliasMagnus718 Magnus One (@AliasMagnus718) reported

    @CoalitionGears How about you dumb asses fixed your freaking servers instead of tuning which is not the problem. You guys are the worst!

  • Tequiero212121 Tequiero (@Tequiero212121) reported

    @GearsofWar fix the game is too slow

  • GarfunklesCool Garfunkle The Forbidden (@GarfunklesCool) reported

    @CoalitionGears How you gonna give me a ban for lagging out of a match and then not give me the option to join back?

  • Shura30_ shura30 (@Shura30_) reported

    @GinyuTv @CoalitionGears Adjusting the play style is somewhat easy and it's all about not abusing those tricks that were a problem. Still i think they need to work on giving key frames to cancel animations so it's easier while in game to actually predict opponent's actions.

  • Shane_So_Bad Shane Heller (@Shane_So_Bad) reported

    @CoalitionGears please fix your sh*t matchmaking system. I'm so tired of getting stuck with kids who are literal bronze players and going against 3-4 man stacks of Masters players. This game is literally unplayable solo.

  • moffit83 Moffat83 (@moffit83) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the no smoke glitch and stop the cheats

  • Tequiero212121 Tequiero (@Tequiero212121) reported

    @GearsofWar run speed and cover are too slow fix it put it like before

  • Digltaldiarrhea DigitalDiarrhea- (@Digltaldiarrhea) reported

    @PezRadar I feel ya man, I lost my doberman a year ago too, we had to put him to sleep, old age and health issues caught up to him...he gave me one last paw shake before passing. Looked into his eyes and he died peacefully. Miss that big man

  • MrMarston7 Mr.Claytin (@MrMarston7) reported

    @GearsofWar hey The Coalition, I would like to say that ...... some gears players here in Brazil at least, are not at all happy with the changes you made, please fix the damage of the lancer and some classes that suffered a little nerf, like the demolition and the strategist

  • TrueTrueCore TrueCore (@TrueTrueCore) reported

    @quasmin @CoalitionGears Seems like your talking about campaign and other stuff. What you're reading ist mainly about the new Versus tuning introduced yesterday. Basically they implemented artificial lag.

  • Shura30_ shura30 (@Shura30_) reported

    @GinyuTv @CoalitionGears Good ideas but I still believe gears need need to fix the basics before moving to something else. The weapon slide was badass indeed..we had that in 2006.but pinballs moving left and right in 2021

  • Miguel00167901 Caballero del Zodiaco (@Miguel00167901) reported

    @CoalitionGears FIX THE DAMN 99% DAMAGE!!!!!!!!

  • Footsore9 Footsore (@Footsore9) reported

    @GearsofWar Fix the scalation event

  • GinyuTv Hindian (@GinyuTv) reported

    @Shura30_ @CoalitionGears I loved curbstomping a player during a fight on gow1 and doing the slide glitch to basically do the Micheal Jackson on a mother ****** right quick. Also wish characters "kickflipped" the guns again, not just kicked them straight up.

  • Themadn1nja Joshua (@Themadn1nja) reported

    @CoalitionGears fix your god damn game i got disconnected and then i get a ban for it. Like really how difficult is this to make a decent game

  • Dickzor9 Jose Eduardo García (@Dickzor9) reported

    @CoalitionGears Improve the game, your update is very slow, do not add more betas, the game was fine before, you already did it at least a lot of people are going to complain and they are going to stop playing until they fix it

  • DetroitSSteele Sean Steele (@DetroitSSteele) reported

    @CoalitionGears That’s awesome! Still doesn’t fix your shitty matchmaking or laggy servers. But go ahead a grab yourself a trophy, you’ve earned it!

  • VillegasJuniior Lythro (@VillegasJuniior) reported

    @GearsofWar If matchmaking is a problem you could add it to a playlist with KOTH since they’re kinda similar. I wish you would’ve done that instead of taking almost all gamemodes out of the game. Tdm, guardian, and dodgeball could go together, koth and escalation in another playlist, etc.

  • Andrew75578666 Andrew (@Andrew75578666) reported

    @CoalitionGears please fix the lag I'm rubber banding bad. My ping is 27 every match I've been in lag breaks the game.

  • LKSulpex Sulpex (@LKSulpex) reported

    @CoalitionGears Dog **** changes, FIX YOUR GAME TAKES NO SKILL ANYMORE ITS INCONSISTENT NOTHING IS RELIABLE

  • Goodacre0081 Goodacre0081 (@Goodacre0081) reported

    @TerryHB_ @CoalitionGears already did that and I'm still getting nasty fps drops on those new maps. loading has also been an issue, random at times, will take far too get to the title screen.

  • danstalham LUTON DAN (@danstalham) reported

    @CoalitionGears Fix the servers ffs losers. Sick of playing n hoping it change but it's just cap n your servers or net code is garbage. I mean imagine me selling you something that was only partly completed. Payed for doing what. Microsoft n gears creators should be ashamed
