Gears Ultimate Beta Access

just saw the video on youtube i didnt realize they were gonna give this game the Anniversary treatment and redo the game/graphics from the ground up.

Ram looked really cool
 
Hmm...I turned my Xbox One off and unplugged it for a while after it was refusing to download. When I powered it back on it was in that download history section, but I'm not sure if it was there before the power off or not.

Hmmm. I did a hard reset on mine. Maybe that's not enough?
 
So, how long until those classic Gears 1 bugs start coming up.

Played a few matches. It is amazing. There are bugs to fix but I think they're so obvious that they're not even worth mentioning as this is a beta. I absolutely loved how it felt, in Gears 1 (and in this) they feel heavy. Wall bouncing Gnasher battles are in.

You can immediately tell in a game those who are Gears 1 vets/familiars and those that either haven't played Gears or only played Judgment or something (coming at me with your lancer while I've got my Gnasher close range? You fool!).

What a feeling. I can't wait for the full game where I can go execution all day and with my Gears 1 buds.

Also, ew at the though of this being more like Gears 3. There's a reason Gears 1 got remastered.
 
Yeah, I decided to watch the ping on the menu when looking at the best region. I would range from 26 MS to 40 MS randomly. The highest US was about 80 MS while Asia was 248MS.
Dang you're lucky. My lowest was 65 ms, but yeah fluxuates a decent bit here and there. I wonder if they can stablize it a bit more before and by launch. It's not terrible, but could be better.

I hope so. Titanfall was almost a consistent 25 ms for me. It's such a shame that Gears relies so much on a good connection. It is almost like a fighting game that even a moment of lag could greatly impact the outcome. I had a match earlier tonight that had such bad lag that the icon to pickup grenades wouldn't even appear even though I could see them on the ground.
 
I've missed this game! Sooooo gooooood!

And just like someone said above, you can immediately tell who the vets are in this game lol! This dude on my team was literally not missing with the torque bow or sniper. They also love wall bouncing all over the place.

Time to continue that grind!
 
About to boot it up. The original was far and away my favorite Microsoft exclusive. Hoping this can rekindle some of that magic.

So, how long until those classic Gears 1 bugs start coming up.

This happening during 19-round games was the worst. Crab-walking was a game-breaker too, for the most part, but you had at least a chance of stopping it if you were half-decent.

Lol theirs always atleast one person in the game who goes crazy with a sniper or bow!
 
So weird update: I have not been able to download the beta after redeeming the code. I am game sharing with a friend. He saw the beta download appear on his console and he downloaded it. NOW it appears on my console. This is super strange and no other game or beta has behaved this way.
 
I had a bug today on Gridlock when I went to pick up the sniper.. and it dropped my lancer and the sniper I had just picked up. I was carrying nothing in my hands and could not switch weapons. It was humorous.. and annoying.
