It lets you choose. There is no choice between North and West Europe though like in Titanfall, only Europe.
They can select both coasts.

hm, that sounds good but I wonder if that is also causing issues, anyone in the states able to select which coast or is it a straight cut choice?

Only able to select either West Coast or East Coast. Titanfall allowed West, Central, and East Datacenters.
Edit: Although, there is only a difference of about 7ms or so bewteen the East Coast and West Coast Datacenters for me (in the U.S.).

Team balancing seems to be utter shit though. Game seems to match me consistently against premade teams. Fun fact, playing solo vs. teams is almost impossible in Gears. Second, something something RNG.
In Gears even if you aren't a team of 4, if you win a game or two, I think most people just stay on the server. It's like bad mojo to leave on a win. It doesn't autobalance the teams if you played with someone else the previous match, which is a good thing for social games. I met a ton of people on 360 playing Gears 1. I would play KOTH if you just wanna learn how to play better.

CLIP time? CLIP time.
I love this game.
- You can either be mad or shrug it off, I think I chose both lol
- This guy though? He's mad.
- And you know for damn sure this guy is not just mad, he's enraged.
I love this game.

I managed to kill all four enemies with one shot (boomshot). It was amazing.

Out of curiosity I decided to check out how splitscreen looks in this game. The Gears games have always been the poster boy of how to do splitscreen right.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!
After four Xbox 360 games the first Gears on Xbox One has introduced borders to the series? Jesus.

I prefer it this way. Your width of view and camera control is more consistent.

Finally, splitscreen doesn't feel like a compromise between playing with a buddy and playing well now.

That split screen looks fine. Not sure what else you expected given that that's the best approach for split screen in the 16:9 era.

That'd be cool, but the mode was created while Cliffy was still in the mindset of being fervently opposed to respawns at all in Gears multiplayer.

where the fuck is execution mode
It's really great to play again Gears 1 with so many people that I first met around 10 years ago on this game.
With a lot of them I haven't played or even spoken for a very long time and now they are married and with kids but they still came back to play it again.
A lot of people even bought a console couple days ago just to play Gears 1 again.
There's a lot of nostalgia associated with this remake and I love it.

I expected to have trouble on insane co op but we beat it first try.
Under Competitive.
That's guardian the superior mode
I won't comment on the gameplay as it's all there and i love the graphics. This is aimed at the multiplayer and changes i want to see.
- Get rid of social matches. All this does is split the community especially when you have 2 lots of Team Deathmatch playlists. It didn't work 9 years ago and its not going to work now, it's never worked for any game period. Need I remind people of Max Payne 3 Softlock Vs Free Aim playlists? Keep the Competitive Playlist and that's it.
- Show ping numbers or bar
- The in game stats page is very barren and simple compared to Gears 3 and Judgement
- Allow us to vote on a choice of 3 maps, instead of just Vote to Skip
- Add the ability to multi-queue for modes so we can get into matches faster or add Quick Join

This feature shouldn't even exist ...

could never
Exactly, what was MS thinking... also it's not just "Avoid Me" rep that'll screw you over, "Needs Work" also can apparently.
Shotgun spread has been reported as a bit inconsistent, like in the beta. Hopefully a fix is soon.
Use Snub+Active. Better Lancer replacement. Or go for Hammerburst.

Brumack? Yeah it's annoying as hell. If Dom goes down (which he does all the time), the brumack rushes you and its hard to run to cover without dying. No way I'm doing that solo insane. Way harder than Raam.

Yeah that's the one.
Finished it earlier now playing online for the first time.... This is going to be hell.

Me and my friends just did a 55 minute king of the hill match on Tyro Station. All together our team had over 300 kills. The enemy team was the same people for about the first half of the match, then we just kept letting newcomers join the fight and get annihilated. This is why I love gears 1. There is such a steep skill gap, that when a great team is playing together they can absolutely WRECK. Got a 3.5 win/loss ratio, and a 1.7 k/d ratio so far. Not that I'm one to usually care about statistics in games, but damn this is fun!
