Yeah?
Sponge city today. Holy fucking shit. I had to shut my shit off before I threw it at the Goddamn wall. It's the most infuriating thing about this game. Forget active downs with the snipe. Forget the God forsaken B button. Nothing compares. It's when I know and completely, 100% certain my shots hit my opponent, yet they are still alive and manage to shoot faster and kill me with fewer shots. It makes me want to jump out of my skin, light myself on fire and jump out a fucking window screaming. I'm gonna have a damn stroke over a video game of all things.
My shots were disgusting this morning but ain't worth a damn just now. I might as well shoot marshmallows and popcorn. Fuck me...

Give me time to finish off Witcher 3 on PC before it release in August.

i agree with the sentiments about goldrush and courtyard, both are damn terrible. hammer of dawn also need an ammo count and power weapons in general need to be put on a longer timer because they spawn too damn quickly.
in tdm its too easy to spawn trap a team because there is only 1 exist route so either they alter the maps in this gamemode or they make spawning random like in koth
lmao i hard aimed someone from behind and nothing happened, he turns around and 1 shot downs me. my teammate killed him later and i only got 33 points for assist. turned that shit right off.
the hitboxes in this game are fukin stupid, they need to sort this shit out. say what u want about gears 3 but it was at least the best gears experience in this regard
and coiliation need to make their minds up, either have centre screen shooting or barrel shooting, right now it uses a mix of both and it is so inconsistent and frustrating.

Breathe.. it's alright, just a beta. Everyone has their good days and bad days, sometimes I'm feeling it... sometimes I'm not.
Maybe you just suck.
Sponging is the worst.
That was one of the best things about Gears 1, sometimes it's just not your game/day. It's frustrating as shit and it's a roller coaster of emotion. The same things don't work every time.
And we love it.
Oh and TDM is a garbage game type. Respawns cause people to do stupid shit because "no worries, I'll make up for it on the next stock!"

d0genZaka bro we need to play when this shit drops
This is literally the worst thing to happen in gears and I honestly think they aren't gonna fix it cause epic gonna epic.
Bruh I used to go on the epic forums hardbody and talked to the devs, posted vids of how the shotgun sponged for days for gears 2 and 3, they kept saying they'll fix it and never did. So I honestly fear that they're gonna say the same shit and repeat the cycle...
I played again after taking a breather and things were much better.
Gotta love the scrubs who sit on their asses with the snipe, not getting any kills or making effort to cap or break the annex in COMPETITIVE KOTH. It drives me up a wall. If your bum ass wants get kills (or at least attempt to get them) then take your stupid self to TDM. I hate it when fools tell me it's just a beta, when they will probably say the same shit on August 25th. Why join a competitive room when you know damn well the skill level and expectations of each player's performance is much higher?
Yeah, it's just a game. It's totally ephemeral and amounts to absolutely nothing. We could all do something that is vastly more productive than playing a video game. However, both games and sports, serve the purpose of satisfying our competitive spirit, with little to no real world consequence. With that said, yes, I want to have fun, but I also want to win. I will only tolerate losing if I'm playing with friends or if my opponent is legitimately better than me. But don't tell me to calm down, when we are in a COMPETITIVE/ RANKED room, when I have nearly five times the amount of points than you. Why the fuck am I working so damn hard for you to drag your feet, thus making the whole team lose because you can't be bothered to get your shit together? I get it that not everyone is competitive and that everyone isn't a pro player. I don't expect to everyone to have that drive or mentality. I know damn well I'm not the best Gears player on Earth and never will be. But if you want to fuck around or play casually, do both of us a favor and play on Social so I don't lose my damn mind and you don't get your feelings hurt.
This beta has shaved off a few months of my life dealing with so many brain dead teammates. Gears is the only competitive multiplayer I play. I mainly play single player games, so I take my Gears pretty seriously

Maybe they just wanted to play KOTH instead of TDM and Ranked is the only option in the beta? Maybe they wanted to test out the No Actives setting that's on KOTH today? Maybe they're not very good with the sniper and they're trying to practice to get better? It IS just a beta, chillax guy.
My post was mainly motivated right after playing with some jerk off who was basically and purposefully playing terribly. Borderline griefing. Like, what is the point of that? Just ruins it for everyone else who want to play the game as intended.
Gears is rage inducing lol
Most rage inducing game I've ever played. The beta confirmed that.

I wish this beta didn't have to end :'( this is the only gears we had on xbox one right now 
i miss gears gaf
i miss gears gafPopped in Gears 3 last night after having not played on for many, many months. Player population is much lower and it seems like all the players are experts. The wall bouncing and cover canceling is out of control. I recognize that this style of play requires quite a bit of skill but it's so ridiculous. It's a game where people literally spaz themselves around what is essentially a magnetic room and quickly pop off shotgun shots. If you take a step back and watch how people are playing it is so fucking stupid.
It's actually not that skillful..I wish the alternate control scheme wasn't there as it makes the wallbouncing and slide cancelling stupid and very easy. All you do in that is just spam A to get to cover without worrying about rolling (since roll is now bunded to X) and direction button and blind fire hoping to get a hit and it works because it's harder for others to hit you when you slide cancel like crazy.
I still fine playing that though, I feel like Gears 2 speed was the best for the game, 3 might have been too fast for some stuff and 1 is obviously too slow.
I never bothered with that control scheme as it was simply far too much for me to get adjusted to a new scheme after close to a decade of Gears. I am fine using different co tells for FPS because they have some variations usually between games but for me Gears always had one control scheme.
I tried the alt control scheme as well and I feel the same way. Default controls are too ingrained
Yes.
So they posted an update on the beta and a few of the fixes that they are already working on

Getting rid of active down sniper is great. Was always annoying to get active downed running out of spawn on Gridlock during the beta.

Should get rid of actives completely but oh well, maybe for Gears 4.
Looks like they took most of the biggest feedback and changed/corrected stuff. Happy to see that.

Hope that means they're fixing the gnasher spread.
Sounds really good to me as I complained most about shotgun, footsteps, glow and wanted to see better blood and gibs. I hope shotgun have some more spread and less reach.
I can't wait for this.

Good list. Hopefully one of those gnasher changes is bullets coming form the barrel..doubt it though.

They've already said this isn't happening. The game uses a lot of the original Gears 1 code so trying to change something like that would cause too many issues.
Unfortunately we're stuck with center screen.
I didn't knew about it. Awesome news, thanks!
Select few, not all characters, I believe it's 19 or so characters that will be in UE

Just saying 'fixes' doesn't really tell us much about what they did with the gnasher but removing active downs from the sniper is good.
I wonder if sound adjustments also means you can hear the hammer of dawn now.

Same complaints that existed when Gears 1 was out on 360. The game has flaws that need to be fixed. Also, this isn't Gears 1...its the UE with shit from the others games already implemented.

I really don't like the remixed audio and music in this game. The original was so perfect for the mode and atmosphere and the new audio just feels so off

This.
Of course it is, unless it's active you know that dawg.
I'm liking what I hear but I want to see this
I need to know what they do about hitboxes about certain characters coming back. I didn't feel like anyone was a sponge in this but if the girls are coming back with savage kantus (maybe, SGE is coming back) then we need to confirm the hitbox
In close quarters it will always be useless, the gnasher is the only viable weapon.
In mid range and long range, you can down them if you control the bursts as they move around... and don't forget that you are also equipped with a pistol that with perfect accuracy can blow their heads off.

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?
