So is this an online thing only? I tried to replicate this on local with spilt screen and the shooty seemed to work fine. However the other video with the gun going through the body up close and shooting behind the player is definitely there.

I have no problem with TDM. It easily replaced Warzone for me. As much as I loved Warzone its hard to go back to it. TDM has some spawning issues at times, but for the most part its about being aware and calling out enemy locations as well as Spawn Swaps so everybody on the team knows. Gears is a very team oriented game, so if you cant act like a team, and more so focus on youself only then youre going to have issues.
I dont find it chaotic at all though, Just as strategic as any other game mode with map control. It can be annoying when you have a team mate feeding the other team though, but that isnt an issue with the game mode, but the player.

I can play TDM from time to time, and it's fun, but Warzone is Gears IMO.
Why on earth are you guys playing this alone? Without coop you make the game like 10x less fun.
Well, it's the morning and I got bored. And well...yeah.

Day 2 Stats in Gears UE. Need to improve my K/D though, not happy where it at being lower than Gears3. One problem Im having is the footsteps of enemies cant be heard, something they'll definitely need to fix. But overall a good start
pffft, I wish my K/D looked like that!
Back in original gears I was beast of a player, now I am just okay :-(...still having a lot of fun tho and getting better with each play session!

The shotgun is a broken piece of crap, really.
Match 1 15:12
Match 2 1:9
Against the same people.
I didn't change anything. It's luck. What a joke.

The center screen thing was weird and took some getting used to in the beta, but at least it was consistent. What we have now feels like luck of the draw.

Its certainly not luck. I do find that to be an excuse for not playing well. With that said, there can be some bullet sponging at times, but majority of the time no.

lol In Gears3 i had a 2.5 in TDM so I feel like I've digressed a bit. So hoping to get it above 2.5 personally. That and my friend has a 3.98 currently, so me being the competitive person I am cant let him outplay me by that much, even if he is on the same team xD

The matchmaking is the worst I've ever seen in my life. Level 0 players against Level 40 every damn time.
Multiplayer is a mess, imo.
I think I'm already done with it. I'm going to complete the SP and sell this game asap.

How do they not shuffle teams? You can't tell me that everyone is coming in with a party of 4 and if they indeed do then at least make it visible that they are a pre-formed party. This is like basic UI stuff for any MP title these days but seems like Devs still have to learn this. Look at how Titanfall launched.

Twice now I have gotten stuck in a glitch during the junker mission. I go to use the light and when I switch back I am stuck and can not move.

Can I play with you guys? - I can be a great distraction at most ^_^!
That is a serious request - I am not all that bad of a player.
*awaits for him to say no*
Level doesn't mean anything though. It's just progression. Not that matchmaking isn't broken.

sounds like gears 1 in 2006, stacked teams where most of the time COG would steamroll.

I wish the ranking system was an actual ranking system where you lose points for losing.
Sorta makes the levels pointless because a level 40 could be just as skilled as a level 10

How I have missed this game... Got my whole old school crew playing now! It is incredible how this game is bringing us all back together! Definitely the best TPS out there by a mile.

Most I've seen someone 3-5 levels higher, but I have seen few instances of this.
That's all just progression.
Matches where I played against people who were quite a bit higher than me tells me that much, cause my team still won and I was able to hold my ground.
Having a higher level doesn't mean you are more skilled of a player, means that...potentially you play the game A LOT.
I get that but it still represents the time put into the game, which does reflect in some skill. Last night I was having a blast but every game this morning has been so one-sided I'm already burned out from playing.
They wanted to go places with that chapter but it was retconned literally in the same game
Also level means nothing guys, saw a level 40 something, he still got destroyed in boxes

So, since tonight is the first I'll be able to play, is the shotgun actually broken or is it just people who aren't used to the gears shotgun. Because it's weird and has always been weird.
It's inconsistent, I mean if it was broken would the baddies be complaining about it?

Yeah, this.
The gnasher problems are so obvious. You can see Level 40 players going from 15:1 to 3:10 stats. And you'll often see level 0 players with a k/d of 2,0.
All during 2-3 matches. It's so dumb and frustrating.
edit: And this game is full of spawn killers. Yep, the 5-seconds-protection doesn't help.

I can almost hear the sound of nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses being stripped away. The devs knew that to dispel the idea that Gears 1 was the best all they had to do was let people play Gears 1.

Again....is this new or just more of the same.
So far I've only been playing competitive king of the hill but every game it's been domination by your team or the opposing. No close games that make it thrilling.
First Gears game I've played but I'm already tired the shotgun dueling. More of a lancer guy but it's not really cutting it out. Still have the campaign to play and looking forward to playing the rest of the series when backwards compatibility hits.

Oh man those official Gears forums are a carnival of stupidity
People complaining about levels? Yo, don't let levels deceive you people.
Levels weren't in Gears 1. You're attaching too much importance to a goddamn number. What happens when someone has just played shittons but their KDR is .5? They've stuck around on good teams all night long and get the win and consecutive match bonuses all day? I've seen level 3's that are good. And level 25's that are terrible. I'm a level 13 myself and my buddy is a 14. We know that any game we go in we can be competitive. My cousin just got the game and we'll be all teaming up, and he'll be at 0, or 1, or whatever it is, but I know he's good.
Since levels don't unlock any inherent advantage in the game like weapons or loadout or speed or some shit, I just toss them. As such, matchmaking is really luck of the draw, there isn't matchmaking in Gears because levels aren't indicative of skill.
Your best chance at matchmaking is this: Leave after each match if you don't like the team parity.
Your best chance of getting a good team is this: Have some people to party up with if your styles mesh in the game.
Toss the levels.

Agreed. People need to learn the difference between skill based and progression based ranking systems.
Numbers mean nothing in this game

Yeah this game plays completely differently than most shooters. If you have teammates that are stupid or too aggressive/unaggressive then you lose. Gears never was easy to be good at. Map control is also huge with power weapons changing the game many times.

well that sucks because i dont want to play against some duder who has a decade of gears gameplay under his belt. I want to play with bad to okay players so i dont get wrecked every match
