It spits out dummy rounds every so often, doesn't deplete your ammo counter, and does no damage. It's great! :|

Finding games have gotten somewhat faster but what is up with the lag at the beginning of ever round? One problem somewhat fixed and another one comes up.
Also aside from should giving you more credits for how well you did they should also give credits based off ribbons. So if you get a lot of ribbons you should get a decent amount of credits.
Not saying getting packs are impossible but they do take a couple of days to get an elite while one decent day (and 5 levels) should give you 1 operations pack and some change. Should be 2 or 3 operations pack or damn close to an elite in a day.

For the most part this is the best the Gnasher has ever been but it definitely just doesn't shoot now and then (usually right in the middle of an intense duel).
I don't understand why it's so difficult for them to get it right! Fix that dummy round issue and it'd be perfect...

For those getting frustrated with the Gnasher, whether due to inconsistencies/bugs or just not being well-versed with it, try the Enforcer. That weapon is a damn B E A S T!
I usually roll with the Hammerburst (so good) and Gnasher/Enforcer.

Sometimes it fires a blank. "Sometimes" being roughly one in ten shots, which is completely unacceptable. I can't believe that bug made it past the beta.
A while ago, I saw a criticism of Dark Souls PVP hit detection, saying "if 95% of your hits connected, and just 5% didn't, even that wouldn't be okay". At first I shrugged and thought, "okay", but Gears 4 taught me otherwise.
Then there's the matter of the damage profile for the gnasher in Core, which I really don't understand.

Bro you went crazy!!!
Its not really a Gnasher issue but more a server update issue. Other weapons have it also. But yeah if one bullet of the enforcer doesnt go out you dont notice it. But the Gnasher on the other hand you offcourse gonna notice it.

Yup. It has a shallow magazine so ya don't have the luxury of missing a lot of shots, but it's insane how fast you can down people with it.

I've played Gears of War 4's campaign on Insane for 10 and a half hours. And I'm only on Act 3, Chapter 6. My progress is slowed down heavily by some very memorable (traumatic?) parts, but I am having fun. I'll get to the ending eventually at this pace.

I am wondering about this as well.
Haha man, I'm terrified to play online, I'd be a huge handicap to me team.
Well, finished the campaign.
I pretty much my opinion mirrors Jeff Gerstmann's. Starts strong, but then drags. The story is also kinda non existent past some interesting build up. Last chapter is neat, but not really good enough to change my opinion.
I'm sort of bummed actually. I've never been the biggest Gears fan, but I liked them well enough. This one sort of felt empty.

Right now I'm playing online almost in a support role. Hang back and give cover to the better players and try not to die. I'm getting better at the game slowly but surely cause there's no way I can just rush in all guns blazing as I get taken out instantly.
It's the most fun I've had with Gears MP ever and I think over time ill move from rank terrible to rank so so

Getting my shit wrecked in multiplayer. Feels so different from Ultimate Edition. I'm not so up on how they change the graphics and things like that but the best way to put it is that it's so damn smooth. Taking a while to get used to I guess.
Campaign seems cool so far. Let my gf take over on the second mission and she was getting through no problem. She doesn't have any experience playing Gears and didn't even know how to control the character and was fine. I'm going to have to bump up a few notch or two on the difficulty I guess.

..why?
How do I even get kicked in the first place?
Also, just had a fun little fight where I thought I did get a HS on the guardian and was surprised when he came back up to me.

Me jumping against the wall a few times and not taking cover was because I recently changed my cover button and am still getting used to it. So I forget to press the new button in the middle of fights.
Agreed too bad though all the random people quit from wave 5 and ruin the fun.

Nice.
Thats too bad... I only played one match, but all five guys stuck around to wave 37.
So stupid. I will never understand reactions like that.

Does the PC version come with the previous games or is that just an Xbox thing ?
Getting killed due to bullshit situations like this sure can be infuriating at times, but to break stuff that you paid for and use to play the game? I've had situations where I stomped the ground or punched the armrest on my chair out of anger, but this? Dude needs to chill the hell out.

To be fair, that was some classic Gears BS lolol. Would never break a controller over it, but can definitely relate to those salt levels
What a little bitch lol
Slamming a controller like that over a game, it can get frustrating but god damn.......get angry much lol
He also whipped his headset lol

Ahaha!
Also, I can't connect to Xbox servers. Is anyone else experiencing this? UK/GMT
I have installed the latest update as well
The irony is that he was giving away a Elite controller in that stream. But give it to yourself now.
His stream chat probably paid for a new headset and controller right after to be fair.
And I'm sure he just got a new controller from his donations.

Is anyone else's download from the windows store ridiculously slow? I could have downloaded this game 3 times over on steam by now and its not even half way finished after 10 hours.

Man it feels like there is a huge spike in difficulty in horde from casual to normal... Like the swarm become laser focused killing machines. On casual if I go down I can limp to safety usually til I get picked up... On normal a swarm dude will run all away across the map just to end me ASAP. If any of them ever run up behind me while I'm shooting something else they 99% of the time chainsaw me in the back immediately. I've had them run at me Benny Hill speed shoot me in the face with the shotty kill me in one blast and keep flying across the map to its next victim at a speed that doesn't feel right. I dunno... The AI in normal feels more like hard-core or insane to me haha

i just got to the night terrors chapter and this is what i was expecting the game to be about. pls tell me everything before was a glorified intro
That tick rate thoIts not really a Gnasher issue but more a server update issue. Other weapons have it also. But yeah if one bullet of the enforcer doesnt go out you dont notice it. But the Gnasher on the other hand you offcourse gonna notice it.

Coop campaign kicks me out after every hour or so.
Their servers are a piece of shit. Are they even using the same Azure used with Titanfall? Titanfall netcode is league ahead of this turd.

Yep i couldn't find any comp/core games at all. I think that versus except for the social playlist on PC will be dead. If you really are into the ranked and competitive side of things you will have to go over to XB1.
Maybe they should condense the core playlist to one or two game modes on PC so we can at least get some games going.
