Gears Ultimate Beta Access

With the gears 1 weapon balance in full effect I seriously doubt I will buy this game, at least not to start with.

They really should have revised the MP and made it a special ultimate version.

Doesn't help that people quit in ranked all the time, beta or not you know that shit is going to happen often in the final game.

It's like complainign that pistol is too strong in Halo 1 remake
 
lol, this is Gears 1 alright. I can't get gibs, even if I point blank someone with an active reloaded shotgun, meanwhile the same fucking guy gibs in one hit all game long. That good old host advantage seems to be swinging in full effect.

Wow, just tried another game. A US player simply down 3 people at Gridlock sniper tower in one hit each, fucking disgusting.

Active Reload is off for today.
 
Before I buy this, I need to know (I plan to play on PC) - does the Longshot active reload shot still down in one hit? Could somebody please confirm it for me? Not buying if it still does.

i'm not moaning about shotgun power. I remember back in the day gears 1 had an update to the lancer and that is most likely in effect here but bring over a direct copy of gears 1 with all it's flaws is silly.

Gears of war is a classic but it has much better versions out there, hopefully gears 3 has backwards compatability before the end of the year.

It isn't.
I'll let you think about why it isn't and what the other people are complaining about.

It's 1 weapon being OP in Halo vs balancing issues of various weapons in Gears. Magnum got nerfed as hell in sequels, while the weaponS in Gears got more balanced.

The weapon balancing issue he talked about is about how Shotguns aren't working as intended even by Gears 1 standards (no feedback, very tight spread), how one shot one down was a mistake that got fixed later, how lancer being shit was a mistake that got fixed later.

I don't really know what flaws and balancing issues you have on mind outside of that cover thing so I thought that you are talking about shotgun because it's first thing people complain about.
I also don't think you are moaning.
If by "better versions" you mean Gears 2 or 3 then I just can't agree.
It's not that I don't like Gears 3 (Gears 2 I don't like), I think it is most refined, smooth and balanced entry in the series but all changes to the gameplay mechanics that are responsible for that, made it so different to the original that I can't compare this games and tell you that one of them is definitely better.

I am aware of shotgun issuses in beta, I pointed it out on this page or maybe page before.
I can't agree that lancer was bad in Gears 1, it was lag that made it feel like useless weapon and now their code works like in Gears 2 and 3 so you don't need to lead your shots.
 
I think this game is fucked once it comes out, a lot of ppl going to the gears forums asking for gears3 shit.

Enjoy the beta my fellow gears1 lovers, cause ppl don't understand what going back to the roots mean. I can understand adding some good things into the multiplayer from gears3 but ppl want the bad shit back.

The CE pistol isn't OP.


The replacement of the Pistol with the BR was a terrible change in Halo.

If you truly downloaded both codes like you say go to your games and apps, gears of war then manage game if you see just gears ultimate edition then cool but you need to see the BETA ACCESS too! If you redeemed it on a computer it wont install until you go through that procedure and install it on the Xbox One itself!
 
They better keep this shit just like Gears 1. Spotting needs to go. Weapon sliding has to come back. Any decent sniper will get weapon swaps all day long. And wtf with no actives today... wake up this is supposed to be a true Gears remake.

voice your opinion on the gears of war forums.
 
Can anybody help me out or point me where to go with this? I received both a Beta download code and a beta access code. Redeemed both on Xbox.com, beta downloaded, but I start it up and it says I am not authorized.

Did you also download the authorization thing? When you redeem the code for authorization it starts a download as well. Maybe check the "ready to install" section.

Thanks, wasn't in Ready to Install, but I checked the "View Game Hub" section on the beta itself and then said to View in Store and the Access was listed as DLC

I really don't like gears sans active reload. War Machine never loads either. I hope they switch it back tomorrow.

Is it without the power boost or is there no active reload at all, as in you can't get faster reloads?

Personally I'd like them to remove the power boost. The faster reload is the reward. Adding more power is really stupid. It's fine for the campaign, but it really doesn't work well in multiplayer.

Does this thing have designated hours of play? I can't seem to find a match.

Servers seem to be off right now, I even got briefly disconnected from Xbox Live just prior to it. If you do manage to get into a lobby it will be a p2p match, the message that pops up says that "Due to an issue with the online services this match will not award any XP."
 
So the exclusive weapon skins that you unlock each day are gone on that day? As in you can't choose each of the ones you unlocked during the other days of the beta, but they will be available upon release of the retail game?
