    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar It's alright, it's just cosmetic content. As long as we can still play, everything's cool, TC. Don't feel rushed and fix it at your pace~

  • PFaux183 PyroFaux183 (@PFaux183) reported

    @GearsofWar Literally no one asked for a collectors re-skin of major paduk. Maybe a jungle tai perhaps 🤔 or maybe a classic commando dom idk just me I guess. Also why don't you fix the onyx guard?

  • Pow_Purple_Goat Goat (@Pow_Purple_Goat) reported

    @Frankie_Esquire @CoalitionGears I was wondering the same thing. Glad I'm not the only one who has the problem

  • zer0_the_ninja zer0 (@zer0_the_ninja) reported

    @GearsofWar i got the game not long ago and i am severely disappointed by how aggressive the lag compensation is in this game, i seriously hope you guys change this and if you make another game i'll be sure to wait and see before purchasing it

  • Zaagh85 Zaagh (@Zaagh85) reported

    @GearsofWar Who cares if you can’t simply fix your match making! People getting kicked out and being banned and gotta play garbage quick matches. Do one thing right before you make anything new! Garbage experience with this game!

  • Kindrroko Kindrroko 🍥 (@Kindrroko) reported

    @hoopstar245 @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Don’t have notifications on just come to Twitter whenever I notice there’s an issue. Also you have to be able to play a game to criticize it and they’re already not off to a great start this operation, or any operation for that matter.

  • Seven_up_94 Seven (@Seven_up_94) reported

    @TC_Kilo @Krotosus @GearsofWar after update ope 6, osok mode is broken ammo 50 before update -> 8 after update. now 2 hits dbno

  • hoopstar245 Kyle Hooper (@hoopstar245) reported

    @Kindrroko @TheMLTGR @CoalitionGears Ive had 0 problems playing the game since the new operation came out? I didn't think staring at a store page to update counted as "playing the game"

  • FixGoW3Servers Fix GoW3 Servers (@FixGoW3Servers) reported

    FIX THE GOW3 SERVERS PLEASE @TC_Kilo @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears

  • Kaizen85 Adam D. (@Kaizen85) reported

    @GearsofWar can you please for the love of AI holy fix the completely useless AI on horde mode. They use to be better than garbage cans running around. It is so annoying because I don't want to play with humans I'm forced with AI pieces of complete CRAP!

  • II_Enix_II K (@II_Enix_II) reported

    @CoalitionGears When I try to play Gears 5 I get this error " "Unable to connect to the Gears of War services. 1 or more players are currently restricted. Gamertag banned." It doesn't say how long for or why. Can you help please?

  • ManMan18102 Kevin Aviles (@ManMan18102) reported

    @CoalitionGears why does my game crash during a ranked match now I got a penalty

  • LumpyEarthling CaptainLump (@LumpyEarthling) reported

    @CoalitionGears Gears 4 - 360 pad not recognised. Gears 5 - 360 pad works fine. Has someone forgotten to patch 360 pad support on Gears 4 since the latest Windows update? Just a thought. If you could check and fix if poss would appreciate it :)

  • TomBroLive Tom Brougham (@TomBroLive) reported

    @shatt3r3dh3artz @CoalitionGears Yeah, no. This isn’t a locust hivebuster skin. It’s just the locust hybrid with a menu glitch to show the venom bomb.

  • HaloFanWZRD Zeebruh 🦓 (@HaloFanWZRD) reported

    @CoalitionGears Is there a fix for lobbies that have everyone over 100 ping except 1 guy who takes advantage of it?

  • Lvis_Mac Luis Morales (@Lvis_Mac) reported

    @NotTheRealCMP @PatrickOakes @GearsofWar No problem bro, GL

  • JkoLoneWolf A lonely cobra (@JkoLoneWolf) reported

    @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar If you guys won’t respond or tell me a fix anything I’ll just call my bank and have them handle it

  • Trizzzx_ t e j i (@Trizzzx_) reported

    @GearsofWar How about y’all fix the facts that I’m forever getting 99% kills . Just give us the one ******* percent . Just round it tf up HOW HARD CAN THIS BS @CoalitionGears

  • jcastro916 jcastro916 (@jcastro916) reported

    @GearsofWar How about you guys fix your damn matchmaking in quickplay and bring back 5v5 with bot filling?

  • NapalmSavage NapalmSavage77 (@NapalmSavage) reported

    So.. @TC_Kilo @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar can we get a fix to the lobby size glitching on Control if it hasn't already been addressed elsewhere. Apparently if your team is full, and someone joins your squad, the game allows the join for a 4v5 in 4v4's
