going by twitch streams its a red looking skin for the gnasher and lancer.
What? Active reload is a large part of the game, why would we want it taken out? I wouldn't be opposed to having a game mode without it if people want it, just keep it in the standard matches.
I got two codes and I know everyone else did as well so I'm assuming I need both? At first I thought they might have just sent me an extra one

Entered codes, but it's not doing anything

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
Playing right now, looks good, can't wall bounce real due to it being gears 1, but it's solid.
Competitive and high level players have BEGGED for actives to be removed completely from MP for ages. Active snipes are straight up STUPID.
The Gnasher is already too strong in this beta. Having actives makes it ridiculous. It diminishes the amount of effort and skill needed to get kills, thus diminishes that sense of satisfaction.
The Mars skins were from Day 1. They extended the skins into today as well because of the issues last night.

Only managed to play a couple of games before work, but feels so smooth...that it feels weird. lol. I'm so used to it not being 60fps.
3 days off work starting tomorrow, gonna be bliss.

Yes, Day 1 was extended into Day 2 to make up for yesterday's mess. I would assume Day 3 will be fresh rewards. Just play today and you should be fine.
OK cool. Thanks for the info.
yea, had it on for about 45mins now, only at 25% :/
Just a few tips for everyone installing. Check you settings when you get on. The sensitivity is set to '15' and you may need to adjust it. Just a friendly reminder before you go turn everyone into giblets.
Forgot the other thing I was going to type and need to go fix something at the office.

Had my first match, was 3 v 2 but it felt smooth and on point, my connection to the europe server is 32 ms which is about as good as you can expect.
*edit* my first match ever was on canals lol
Interestingly it was canals in death match mode, the game menu says canals only for KOTH.

Yes! this is great to hear. The latency in the original gears 1 used to be awful.
I didn't know they have apartments for rent inside the Azure server farm. What type of amenities do they have?
Netherlands isnt that big. And i am lucky there is a datacenter in amsterdam haha.

No one ever sticks around for a game, count down was 5 seconds away from starting a full match and people left, lol.

Didnt appreciate how well gears 3 controlled and felt til I went back to this. Anyone that says the original is just as good in that department is insane
Oh yea that reminds me. Sometimes the client crashes into a black screen during a match load. Force quit the app and restart it. It's a Beta...
Try restarting your Xbox. Worked for me.

Just went 9-3 on my first match.
This game really is like riding a bike, you never forget.

I believe the aiming speed is slower than original (or any other game) in this game, now it's not that I remember Gears 1 bad but it's about what I remember being able to do in Gears 1 but not here.
So sometimes with a sniper you could drag the reticule (when zoomed) and get the headshot...this is a technique you find in many games and works due to how hitboxes and aim assists work in games. Here in Gears UE I am more or less unable to do it unless I am extremely close to the head, but not because of lack of it but because the cursor moves quite a bit slow even at max sensitivity.
Edit: By the way (last time I'll shit on this beta for a while), in addition to new game modes and omni directional evade, the game also has spotting and glowing character (at a distance) from Gears 3..perhaps they should remove em cause it doesn't make for a pure Gears 1 experience...and add in kung fu flip, crab walking and host advantage.

feedback in landing hits is really poor, half the time you get no visual showings for landing a hit with any weapon so you never know if you missed or not.
triple the blood spray, I landed a sniper headshot and saw no blood
they extended day 1 so maybe you get both at the same time today.

I'm so glad you're wrong.
Only thing you have to change is your location to download it, which is really easy on the Xbox One.

Has anyone tried playing with a Gold trial? My sub lapsed to a silver, but I have a code for the beta. If I tried procuring a trial, will I get in?
Nope didn't work for me.
Maybe Xbox Live is acting up and it will take some time for me to get access.
