Gears Ultimate Beta Access
- Thread starter malfcn
- Start date
The grenade physics are also weird, they seem to keep rolling on the floor for much longer than expected.
Microsoft will hunt you down and kill your family if you do
Yes, you're allowed to stream, but doing it directly with the Twitch app is disabled. You can only do it with an external capture device.

It's par for the course really. Gears community is one of the worst when it comes to this. You have this subset of the player base that idolizes Gears 1 and treats anyone that prefers the other games like shit. They also like to act like they speak for the community at large or as though their opinions are above everyone else's and d0genZaka's post is a good example of that.

Ahh that's why I couldn't bloody kill anyone in one shot with the Shotgun. (played alittle back in the day, but totally lost all knowledge of this game)This is a point blank shotgun blast on a wall in gears ultimate:

Yeah I don't think you can share anything for beta's and demo's. I couldn't for the halo 5 beta and I cant share any screen shots or video clips on xbox for f fxv episode duscae either.

Why doesn't the game rebalance players between matches in the lobby? I don't get that.
I think that to consider people who prefer Gears 2/3 and group them together with casuals while playing victim as if there're only two communities i.e Gears 1 and rest, and that the rest needs to check out the real deal that Gears 1 was, under the assumption that all Gears veterans are Gears 1 fan (or that you can't be a veteran if you haven't played Gears1/don't like Gears 1)...that's a very condescending attitude.

Because it's a beta, and we don't even know how old this build is.
Had some awesome matches just now. Went 16-2 and then 15-1. Getting double-kills with a Torque Bow is still amazing when people cluster up in the halls on Canals. I wish Warzone was a game mode in the beta so I could kill entire teams for a round or two.
Courtyard doesn't work well for TDM.

To be fair in gears 2 it has a mortar where the sniper is at
You'll need to learn to fire the shotgun from the hip eventually. Hard aiming takes too long and is too slow.
I don't feel the shotgun as much as I did in any gears game.
It feels a LOT like the judgment one. That's no good

That's when you're running and you tap the RT+A, jump and shoot while you're laid out flat in the air, right?
They took this out?

Getting your ass kicked.
Each kill feels so good.
Out playing someone in Gnasher duels.
Popping a lucky headshot in a panic as someone closes in to blow you apart with a close-range Gnasher.
I missed this. This is nice.
Yeah, shit is ridiculous.
Yep, that is the Gears I remember and enjoyed.
On a side note, I find it odd when people complain about Gears sequels/franchise not dying.
It really is its own flavour of shooter that has a flow different from the rest of current shooters. A flavour still popular judging by those Gears collection requests.

Got a chance to play with one of my two Gears buds tonight - we did a bunch of trial and error and jumped on the Latin America server. Eventually we got on the same team and it was incredible. It really brought out nostalgia and we went for rounds and rounds. This is going to bring it all back man, it's really Gears 1, in 2015.
Just can't wait until we can consistently party and exclusively play Execution.
<3 Gears 1
Or when you get that crispy headshot on someone who picks up the sniper a second later than you do on Canals - even better when they weapon slide to avoid it but still get popped.

Yes, all of this and so many more - it never gets dull.

When the game comes out, we will all play together. Sucks we cant invite friends into games in the beta.

Just saw 5 guys with the same clan tag in a lobby together. How the hell did they pull that off?
I really miss actual Gear of War balance. The original game's balance was to heavily favored to shotguns it created an awesomely unique game about movement and shotty skill. With AR's being totally legit weapons it really changes the matches. It sucks because I fucking loved the original gears multiplayer because it was different. They seem to only want to balance the game to be like every other 3rd person shooter though. Maybe I am remebering wrong but I thought you used to have way more camera control during roady runs too.

Well, this explains my "WTF, he was standing still and I shot him point blank" moments.

I might be in the minority here, but my ideal Gears multiplayer would not have shotguns. It seems like everyone runs around with shotguns, I would rather just have lancers and force people to use cover a bit more.

Yeah it can be bad at times, but it's a beta and we don't know how old this build even is. Hopefully it's addressed before launch.
Gnasher feels off tonight, I guess it is just me because other people have no problem gibbing me.
Fuck that, cover should only be used to springboard your sick roady movement and setup shotty kills. Every other cover based shooter can have stupid cover stand offs.

Question: can you see other players stats (ie K/d , w/l) in competitive?
Shotguns are what made Gears 1 fun.
Epic tried to push lancer fights as their vision for the game and time and time again the community rejected that vision.
Not sure if the Gnasher is trash, I'm playing with some super laggy people, or both, but I just played my daily match to get the skins, and I would point blank guys constantly and not even hit them from what I can tell.
Still playing as an XBL Silver member though, so that's cool.

I suck with the shotgun and use the lancer 90% of the time and I'm not the best, but I'm pretty decent at the game. Guess it's from playing Gears since the beginning from 1 - judgment. I infuriate shogun users with my lancer from long range and sneaking up for chainsaw kills. I especially have been more dominated playing this beta with the Lancer against shotgun players. Think a lot them are having trouble using it since the blast doesn't come from the barrel...

Remember, guns shoot from the center of the screen, not the barrel.
Especially point blank, that can lead to many "WTF" moments.
I had an 8 v 4 the other day. My friend on the other teams reaction was amazing.
Word; I'm talking like, basically touching the guy though, like literally right on him, and nothing. The whole quickscope thing doesnt seem to work great for me either
That's incredible. Such a random and odd glitch.

Getting a real nostalgia trip of Middle School and such.
BTW, is anyone else getting rubberbanding in spots?

Still, the Lancer fills the role of iconic gun for the franchise as a whole while the Gnasher is the workhorse.
Most standout thing was glitching into the Troika essentially on War Machine. I couldn't move from that place, but just turn.
