So here's a thought:

I wonder if they couldn't just do cross-platform competitive multiplayer and just have it be that PC players grade much higher due to using KBM?

I'm just not sure why integrating KBM players with controller players is any more imbalanced than integrating controller players of differing skill levels.

I think it's more than that even. Playing at 144 fps compared to 60 also gives you an inherent advantage I think. However slight it might be.

I blows my mind how little people mark. Especially in social where there are zero mics. I don't think I ever died in a face to face battle. Every death was from my teammates behind me watching someone just mosey on up behind me and end me.

I honestly like the DeeBees. All the weapons they bring are badass. The little rolling shock drones keep you moving cover to cover. The huge guys jump over cover and stomp you out. They're great.

they bring something different yeah, i mean i also loved to be gibbing grubs and shit, but the deebees are great, totally diferent kind of enemies no reason to hate them

How many credits are you guys getting from Horde matches? I've only gotten to like... Wave 8 before everyone else quits and I think I only got 42 credits.

The deebee fights didn't bother me as much as I thought they would, shakes things up a bit. Graphics are more impressive than I thought they'd be from press release stuff.
The new gears crew hasn't grown on me yet but still plenty more to go. Exactly as
I wanted a new gears entry, refine the old without completely reinventing the game. Kudos to The Coalition.

Anyone else get $10 for preordering with Paypal? Even though I did not pre-order with paypal? Then I checked my Microsoft account and see that I have $23 on my account. What?

Apparently I got also a $13 Xbox Live Rewards Deposit?

Anyone else?

I literally just (also game ending spoiler)
figured out whose medallion that is.

What.

I restarted and now it works.

Btw, is it me or you can't change weapons (lancer/Enforcer etc...) in competitive?
Click to expand...

Yup same. And you aren't alone on the weapon change part. Looks like they want equal weapon starts. Played Execution and was mad I couldn't pick my hammy :(

So game isn't that surprising graphically, playing on PC at 1440p with some settings ultra or high. Gameplay seems a bit slower than what I remember. Only got to the first act now. Are those cutscenes pre recorded or real time? Cuz damn

Having so much trouble on Multiplayer, its just full of these stupid good players, its just frustrating at this point.
Click to expand...

Most of the people playing Gears 4 have been playing the multiplayer for 10 years and the gameplay hasn't really changed much so it will no doubt be brutal facing these people, more so if they are grouped up and making call outs.

You're going to get curb stomped for months, but it's fun.

Game is a lot of fun and I'm impressed with the performance. Just like Forza, however, I'm disgusted yet amazed at how terrible the windows store is. It truly is incredible how fucked up the entire process is. It's a joke.

As for the game, soundtrack is more background noise than anything. I also have the same problem with the DBs as I did with the Prometheans in post-Bungie Halo (interesting how both 343 and The Coalition decided to go in that direction. Robots and metal things are not fun to fight, especially when you used to be fighting things like Covenant and Locust that had great damage feedback. Not sure why they felt the need to reinvent a whole new enemy type that is less fun to fight.

Agreed. Havent seen many noobs. Granted, people have had 5 games to train.

so is this or Forza Horizon 3 the better looking game (PC)?...if I could only get 1 game, which should it be?
Click to expand...
Gears. Forza is not so great of a port.

So does Horde mode just never end? I tried it out for the first time just now with some randoms and we lost on wave 30, but the game just let us continue after that with a reset score. I just left afterwards, but I'm not sure if I was expected to stick around longer.

Could you explain? I just beat it too and I must be missing something massive because that just felt like it cut short. I expected another chapter or two :/

Oof. This game really hits the spot so far, I'm absolutely loving it. I really didn't expect to like it so much.

So any series vets got some tips for the MP of Gears for someone that's basically brand new?

MASSIVE game ending spoiler:
Kait's grandmom is, or related to, the locust queen. That was her medallion and the locust symbol on the back

Fixed my earlier issue of audio skipping and hitching during cutscenes. Moved the game to the internal HDD from my 4TB external drive and it works like a charm.

Does anyone know what I can do to stop my visuals from degrading as I play? Seems like after 20 or 30 minutes all my textures are muddy and my lighting is spastic.

If you're playing by yourself always stick with someone on your team even if they don't have mics. If you roll alone and don't stick with anyone you're gonna get wrecked.

Mark EVERY enemy you see. It helps massively.

If possible get power weapons, they're important for control. Learn the maps, go co-op versus or private and get a feel for the maps.

Practice with the gnasher. fights more often than not become close range, if you're having trouble use the enforcer and active reloads for that damage boost.
