Is that not what this is?

"Tuned red/blue colours for team shaders (Locust/COG)"

Or are they literally talking about the color of the character models?

I think you're right, doubt it's character models.

If they are taking out active snipe then I guess there is no hope of them getting rid of that awful glow. Gears 3 is still out, why ruin Gears 1 for people?

The changelog explicitly mentions they reduced the red and blue glow effect

Tuned red/blue colours for team shaders (Locust/COG)
Improved game performance to reduce screen tearing

I wish that said Removed and Eliminate. Screen tearing on a ten year old game, smfh.

Keeping actives in, but taking out one-shot down active sniper was a good decision, even though it deviates from the original Gears. The red/blue effect though, that just needs to go. Most of the rest of Gears 1 (barring the many glitches, I guess) is pretty much perfect gameplay wise.

my thought as well. Unless they tuned it to only have your teammates glow

So they posted an update on the beta and a few of the fixes that they are already working on

Sounds good... I think. A lot of that just says fixes/tuning, but what kind of fixes/tuning are we talking here.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Sounds like good changes

Gears 1 is also still on x360, feel free to go play it. This is the ultimate edition so it makes sense to change thing most people hated about the original

All of the graphics in the game are new though, running in 1080p/60fps.

All of the changes from the Beta sound great!

Active sniper is not a good mechanic. It just rewards bad shots

Yup, it's why in Gears 1 on 360 I would intentionally miss Perfect Actives. It's cheap for one and two, it forces you to get good with the Longshot.

Active snipe should allow for collateral headshots. Judgement was shit overall but I liked that change to the sniper because it made getting an active relevant again after Gears3
