No, there's no join in progress. I think they can invite someone else to the game though. I really hate this because I love horde but I don't always have time to do it and I feel guilty leaving early.

My name is carry hard, for some reason I keep getting low skilled players thereby preventing me from reaching higher rank cause I've been stuck at Silver 3 for a week now.
Are you on pc? Because only social playlist gets games it's so annoying.

Really hating the DeeBees. Luckily I'm on Chapter 3 now. The motorcycle section was really disappointing, the lack of player agency and how linear it was in general sucked a lot of fun out of it.
Campaign is a 4/5 out of 10 for me so far.

Don't, blame The Coalition.
Gears 3 was over five years ago, that didn't have join-in-progress either. One would think that's something TC would've looked into.
I'd just be upset if the player-base for this is killed due to their own incompetence. It's such a great game.

Well, that campaign ending was very abrupt...felt like it was missing another cutscene after the last one.
EDIT: just read an explanation of the ending and I retract that statement lol

I was like that until I started Act 3. You're in for a treat

Haha, yeah, it's assuming you recognise the
other symbol as the Locust's insignia. I think the heaps of Locust weapons with it on in Act 4 were supposed to jog people's memories.
It picks up once you get to act 3 and beyond.

Ending spoilers:
Yeah, it was Reyna's mother's necklace so Queen Myrrah was Reyna's mum.
I think it belong to her mother but I'm not sure if they explained how her mother got it. My guess the queen locust gave it to her

Finally finished the campaign last night on insane with my buddy. 26 FUCKING HOURS. 8 or 9 of those hours were on the Act 4 final boss.
I can't believe I'm gonna say this but...I'm really interested in the story for the next Gears game. What an ending!

I was the only Engy, had 1 scout who for some reason wasn't focusing on picking up power, one sniper who quit after wave 30 the rest were soldiers.
Nope...Xbox

because no one really plays on PC.
When I play execution I basically play with the same 20 people, very rarely do I ever see a name I don't recognize.

I doubt there are less than 10 people trying to play gears right now. I cannot find a match in ANY mode, through any playlist. Except TDM. Fuck TDM.

TDM is going to be the most popular mode by default. It's the most popular mode in any game.
I gave up on trying to find a match in any playlist. I don't think there's an issue at all, there's just not 10 people searching for dodgeball or escalation on PC.

At this rate it's gonna be a 14-0

Holy fucking shit the pvp in this game is already dead on pc. I don't own a xbone but I was very weary about buying it on pc because of this reason.

TDM and Social are more populated, but it's to be expected. Only someone that's been playing Gears since the first game would probably still be playing execution. Then on top of that it's a Windows Store exclusive..
This was never going to be a popular game on PC.

dead game is dead, just has to get any 10 people together

I get depressed when the other team is ridiculous good...
I get enraged when my team is ridiculously new to the game, and I'm the one carrying the team....
Mix both of these, and what do you get? Me quitting the game after three games, thats what.

Anyone want to play some Horde? Hardcore if we can get a full group, Normal if we can only get a few. Send a message to superNESjoe.
Whoops. You're right. I couldn't remember so I just googled it. I guess I got an unreliable result. Hopefully my mistake didn't ruin it for anyone or something.
Man, this thing... Again, I'm really not looking forward to this part...
I am. Aiming feels so tight and lining up shots is so natural that I find myself overextending in Horde and end up getting downed because none of my teammates are there to back me up.

I wouldn't. Horde mode is fantastic fun, but 50 waves of it can be a big time commitment over several hours, and getting stuck on a boss wave can quickly get tiring. There's no reason to continue to slog through it if you feel you've hit your limit for the day, and are simply no longer having fun playing it.
I can't really think of a good reason why Coalition didn't want to allow the option of mid-game joining in horde mode. If certain people are against it then simply put a setting toggle in Options to prevent a player from matchmaking into an in-progress Horde mode match. As it stands, there are a lot of public matches where people drop out well before even hitting the halfway point of Horde. It's certainly unfortunate for the folks who stay in the match, but at the same time, I don't think it's fair to force people to keep playing purely out of a sense of 'obligation' rather than 'enjoyment'.
Don't punish yourself for a design decision the developer could have corrected by allowing someone willing to take your place in the match.
