They remind me of Judgment in some ways.

Just played a Warzone match where we lost handedly and didn't even get a credits match bonus. WTF.
I think its unreasonable to expect people to do all 50 waves of Horde all the time. Sometimes I only have an hour or two and I can't do the entire thing because life comes calling. Does that mean I should never get to play with people? The answer is to introduce a matchmaking option that lets people join games already in progress. Sometimes wave 1-10 is kind of boring. I wouldn't mind skipping those if I had the option at times. I already search my friends list and look for games where they have an opening and I try to fill in on those before I hit matchmaking.
The bounties for doing waves 1-20 should be replaced with more like "get 50 kills in a game" or things of that variety. You'd get less people quitting specifically on Wave 21 but still be able to reward people for playing without demanding they do all 50 waves every single time. Leveling is slow enough as it is, I'd hate to see all bounties reduced to "Complete all 50 waves". I've only done all 50 waves like 3 or 4 times now in the nearly two weeks I've had the game. There's been plenty of times where the entire team has quit before that or we've just given up on wave 50 because all our stuff got ruined and we ran out of money.
Also, they really, REALLY need to restructure the packs. Let us buy packs specific to our desired classes for God's sake. I hate saving up for Horde packs only to get 5 cards I need to burn because none of them were the one I was looking for. I get 25 scrap from this so I have to save for another horde pack just to burn everything again and then go make ONE card with the scrap from the two packs. That suuuuuuuuuuucks. It fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks, Coalition! Fix that shit!
Complaints aside (and they are valid and worth repeating!) I love the game. I just hope they address these issues before the game dies and people move onto other things. There's a LOT of competition up against Gears. This month alone has two other huge shooters and then there's CoD right around the corner. Hell, CoD Remaster is already in the mix. TC needs to move fast because gamers are fickle and have short attention spans.

Borderline cheating lmaooooo
Wallbouncing is a skill that's been part of gears since day 1 and it takes a ton of skill to execute properly. If you know what you're doing it's way more fun and rewarding than standing around trying gun people down with assault rifles.

I'm still mad at that elite box I bought. Complete waste of coins. Could have bought 9 horde packs.

I was angry I bought an elite box and the next day they reduced the price buy 500 credits. You think they would've refunded the credits, but nope

Another match with zero match bonus. What the fuck?
Have you tried rebooting? That seems strange you aren't getting a match bonus

Wallbouncing is a part of Gears but what he's doing in that video isn't practical. Hell, the people he's doing it against aren't even wallbouncing themselves. If there was no kill feed I would think he was playing against bots.
Same here.

Yep. There simply needs to be a social horde playlist that just throws you into random games/waves to fill in games and starts you at one in the unlikely event that there aren't any open games needing fills.,
Keep the existing playlist for people who want to start from 1, go for the related achievements etc., along with private lobbies of course.
I'd play a lot more if I could just pop in and out and not be screwing people by leaving. I haven't played past the low 20s yet as I just don't have the time/interest for longer sessions right now. But I hate quitting when the other 4 are still going so I just haven't been playing at all lately and regretting buying the ultimate edition.

It only happens some of the time, especially when I'm on the losing team.
Not sure a reset will fix it but what do I have to lose?

Anyone playing now? Versus. EU.
to a point I agree but watch the video, that is nonsense. It's basically just exploiting a simple mechanic (cancelling your move to cover) to float around and then hope some of your ten shots land. I say borderline because you're not doing anything that isn't in the game but it's clearly not how anyone who made the game intended for it to be played. anyway, like you said it's been in Gears since the first one and I've learned to live with it.

I find the skins that glow bright are a big disadvantage because they give away your position. What do you guys think?
Also, the robot character skins make way more noise than other characters...

Oh hmm now that you mention it being on the losing team I think that happened to me once before. I just off played it because we had lost and just wanted to roll onto the next match

Again no match bonus for losing an Execution match. Fix this shit TC.
Dope! The achievement for getting to 50 is bugged too! How cool!
definitely. I don't use them and the amount of times I've seen a bright gun just poking out of cover from someone who thinks they're being sneaky I never will.

Depends on your play style. I use all the glowy flashy skins, but I hate hanging back in cover or camping like some do, I prefer to rush with gnasher, like original gears.

The bright colored skins just reaffirms my post above about how unispired the designs are. It's a detriment to the game and its like they didn't have time or any creativity in creating them. Just "slap a rainbow pallet on that Swarm guy, kids'll love it!".
The DBs are cool but I wish they were just a completely separate "team" in multiplayer because they look wayyyy too much like a human yet they're on the "monster" team which all have a very defined look. So you select a COG guy, a Swarm Guy, and a DB Guy in the customization area. As it stands now putting them on the Swarm team is lazy and doesn't even fit with the story of the game since they are a neutral force who fights anyone.

Same.. I finally crafted the E-Day Gear and while he looks like Anthony Carmine, he sounds nothing like him. I was hoping he was essentially still Carmine with the VO, but nope lol.man i really miss my Anthony Carmine
And I've said it before, but the DeeBees should have been part of the COG's.

The one Epic skin I got with my first pack at launch was the god awful color splash Swarm drone skin.
Carmine will get brought back in a later wave of skins. They're holding back a lot of characters for now.
When you compare the number of characters Gears 3 had, it's pretty eye opening how few there actually are in Gears 4.

i think that in latin american spanish is the same voice of the carmines, i havent used one because oh well pack system, but i think it is

Same here, 50 waves of horde is too much for me but I'd definitely play it more if they implemented social horde.
I agree. TC would probably have to switch between swarm and DBs and always have a COG team since most people prefer being COG there would be too many complaints with DB v swarm matches.

Yeah they need to change it ASAP. Most games take 30+ mins.

I definitely think they will. Along with locust character skins in a locust themed update. Maybe some locust maps or something.
They'd be mad not to
This is why I tend to stay out of gnasher duels. It's too much chance + I'm just not as good at it as a lot of people. enforcer life. stand back and shoot him with enforcer.
I'm level 59, just about to hit 60 and just got an achievement for getting 10k credits in total. In 60 levels I would've been able to buy ALMOST 3 Elite cases, that's fucking ridiculous. That's a total of ~42 hours of play time going by the war journal.
Tbf, I have not seen a single person jump around like that in my ~30 hours of ranked play, but that might be because all those "tryhard" people only play on Xbox.

Had windows insider and gears wouldn't launch, reinstalled windows pro and now got it running.
My hardware
Gtx 970
Phenom 965 x4 (I know I should have gotten Intel)
12gb ram
Over clocked GPU and CPU with stock cooler
Running game 4k on mix of ultra and high
58fps multi
35fps single
Looks jaw dropping and I can't believe how well it's optimized. 4k makes such a big difference. Still a looker on x1 though

I love this game but Jesus Christ. Why can Microsoft. a company built on standards, standardise some of the multiplayer stuff the come up with. Let me switch from party to game chat in game like halo 5 - that should be a first party standard. Don't make me wait for the score screen and then have to close it in order to see a load screen before going back to the main menu, if my multiplayer partner doesn't close the screen we get s warning and can't start - show the score screen and load the menu in the background so there is no pause. On finishing a slayer game, stick up a counter and auto start the next one. I have to go back in and tell the game I want to play again - it's just sloppy. Let me save my default weapon config so I don't have to remind myself before every game.
The game is awesome but the front end is like an after thought. I thought we got past this with halo 5 setting a new standard? It's stupid.

There's a LOT of weird multiplayer QoL quirks that I just don't understand after the amazing integration that Halo 5 had.
Why why why didn't internal Microsoft studios pow-wow more and utilize great things that already exist?

Yeah, I bought one with my first credits I saved up, only got shit and have only bought operations pack after that.
And I have to say that the "leaderboards" in the war journal is a damn joke too. Who the hell cares what total score people have in social versus? There's just so many small and dumb things about the menus and shit in this game that is really annoying.

But it's probably not as bad when you're doing it yourself instead of watching some other guy playing.

That's like getting 10 executions or 3 knife kills in an MP match. Ain't happening for me.
Play solo and you'll get there somewhere in the 30's I bet.
Add the Thrashball Stadium from 3 and we'll be golden.
