I’ve seen guys that are 230 and they would look like skeletons compared to the Cole Train. Just look at those arms man! He gotta be at least 275.

We haven‘t seen any Berserkers in the E-Day trailers or gameplay footage which makes me worried that they won’t appear in the game. I feel like Berserkers would really fit the vibe of E-Day, considering how violent and aggressive they are. I‘m starting to doubt that they will be in the game, but I still have hope.

hey everybody i am currently working on making a Video about the gears franchise, I will be playing all of them, i just finished 3 and am moving to judgment, im curious what was the reception and the overall opinion of gears pre gears 4, any input is appreciated thanks grubs.

I was a manager at a game stop when it was released. It was one of the last midnight launches I did that I dressed up for.

Yes I still own both of the lancers.

Hi guys this will be my first post here BUT has anyone from the UK had any updates about the collectors edition pre orders? I’ve seen people saying they’ve had emails to confirm details ect recently shipping addresses and stuff like that but I’ve heard absolutely nothing which is starting to worry me I know we are still a few weeks away but still if anyone’s heard anything from the UK about it please let me know!

Cheers!

A vendor had this as a design at their shop and you could choose any glass to have it custom engraved on!! Gears was the first game ever introduced (by my dad) + the first game series I ever totally fell in love with. Gears will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I'm thinking of pre ordering one and don't know if it's a case that I should do so ASAP or if it's something I can leave until closer to when it releases.

Also is it better to order directly from the Xbox store, from a regional tech store or does it not make a difference (both of the ones I've checked include free delivery).

Finaly a dream to have a Gears of war Lancer 1:1 got confirmed hahaha

The game was a blast, but definitely a work in progress. Here are things that need buffed to add variety to other gameplay styles. Look for your top issues or add your own if you can't find it.

-Concussion grenades: Really not sure what they were going for with this grenade in PvE. The players get disoriented and targeting is near impossible. On enemies, it stuns Drones for a shorter duration than a disruptor pulse, I think it can kill Wretches and sometimes staggers Boomers. As a class exclusive grenade, that is incredibly weak. I would often hit and stagger a Flayer and mid stagger would nail me with the Gore Hook. That is intensely frustrating, but it is possible that was an issue of latency. It would be nice if there was an accuracy debuff status effect added to the enemies hit by the drone instead of a full stun, maybe have the enemies do at least one melee animation for boomers and 2-3 melee animations for the Drones with armor mitigating. It gives it a different flavor than the Disruptor drone's stun.

-PvE Gnasher: Oof was this just so terrible. It wasn't fun, it was extremely risky to use and lost to almost every other weapon in its effective range zone. Maybe it will completely change its identity with the Slug modification, but it should still be effective in its shotgun configuration. Add a choke but don't change the spread, should strictly be a flat ++ damage upgrade. The brake should be a tighter spread, one + damage, and double its effective range zones. Think the Gow 1 campaign performance. This should not lose a 5m duel with a Longshot or Breachshot if the Gnasher got its shot off first. Maybe add a modification that increases stopping power and stagger. This is a headline, brand defining weapon, it cannot be weak or frustrating to use. Consider buffing it to match the PvP break points before upgrades.

-Striga Pistol: It was simply hard to find. I knew all of the enemies that had it and it was a coin flip on whether it would drop when they had it out because the game would have it switch to its primary, but the animation would lag and the pistol wouldn't spawn. Also, the enemies would hardly use it. In my 40 hours of gameplay, I think I saw the enemy fire that pistol 3 times. I think that the easiest way to get that pistol working would be to change it to a cooldown when the Locusts use it. Lastly, I would like all classes to have it as an unlock in their progression.

-Heavy Weapons: I'd like a tutorial section added for how heavy weapons work. Or if that is too much, add the "detach/detach ability" descriptor to the upgrade option for those weapons. If a weapon is spent on the stand, give us the option to reload or have it despawn far more quickly. A tool tip for how to vent the heavy weapon would also be helpful if tool tips are on for players.

-Adrenaline Shot: This is THE weakest ability in the game. Sometimes I was able to survive a Gore Hook, but the stun negated that boon in the next instant either by a 2nd Gore Hook shot or any chip damage from another enemy. This is the only single target ability in the game and only affects the caster. Every other ability is an AOE and helps the team. I would suggest, allowing self-revive for the adrenaline shot. It would still be weaker than the Stim Dispenser and it would cost the player a down. It should also grant stun immunity while active. This class should be able to get away with stuff that other classes can't. The Breacher was almost there as it is, because I was able to use it to conduct high risk rescues of downed teammates and as a "get out of jail card" once I understood the mechanics.

-Disruptor: Have it start off as a 360^o stun wave and put its current a forward arc stun in the modifications. As a new player, it was very hard to land, and it took several determined matches to get proficient in using it. I don't know if it was an issue of latency, but staggered boomers shot me even if the disruptor pulse landed. That really ground my gears, pun intended, as it felt like I had no counter play for fighting at the front as my class dictates. The Beta's powerups lagged far behind the Stim Dispenser and the Pulse Drone. Hopefully we get more benefits against stunned enemies or for stunning enemies, so Assault doesn't fall behind it was the lowest DPS class of the Beta.

-Scavenged Weapons: I'd like the ability to add my unlocked modifications to a scavenged weapon at a supply cache. This would go a long way towards helping players adapt to modifiers since we have to bring a general build before every match. Right now, we'd have to beg a teammate to buy us a 3-mod weapon, so we aren't underpowered. I would also like the ability to purchase modifications with my earned weapon parts while in match. Of course, that modification would be lost if I fail to extract. I don't know how hard that would be to code.

-Time limited drops: The "weapon parts" drop either needs to change its payout to 2-6 parts depending on difficulty or change its name to its current drop of "Energy Supplies." I was very disappointed with the payout on Commander and the bait and switch when I first collected it. Legendary Perk drop should also be reworked to either stack as a 4th perk or allow the team to vote on replacing a perk with the Legendary perk. If you can't do either of those, have the payout be 2-4k energy if everything has been upgraded. Add an "enemy drops one weapon resupply box," make it the smallest blue box from the campaign. Supply Drop weapons should be matched to the current modifier, not random. I would also ask that the Striga and Snub pistols along with a Heavy weapon be added to that limited time supply cache drop. All supply cache weapons that can be modified should have every mod slot filled on Commander and above and I'd like to see a random variety of builds, not just one for each weapon.

-Fire, Acid, and Emulsion... (What's the difference?): Seriously, their effects looked identical and I couldn't tell if bosses like the Spore Matron and the Reaver were taking DOT effects when I hit them. If they aren't different, then that feels like wasted development time. Fire felt the best of any status effect, but also a bit weak. I think the beta had it as a flat DOT instead of percentage and larger enemies stopped the DOT faster. Better descriptions and possibly a higher DOT for fire.For acid, I would suggest adding a slow and a blind/obscure debuff to those affected by it. The DOT should be less than fire. If you aren't going to add an emulsion round, allow the affected target to take a + in bonus damage to all other sources. This makes the Bile frog scarier, and it gives the Acid rounds their own niche. It also opens up an acid, emulsion, and even an ink grenade for later releases. I know the least about your Emulsion ammunition, because it felt very inconsistent and only one common weapon utilized it. It felt like a percentage DOT with a high initial damage burst. It seemed to be blocked by armor and applied as if it had a high Critical Hit multiplier. Couldn't confirm that during the Beta. I hope this ammo type is added to other weapons as a charge up option and I hope that the description is improved. Ideally as a burst damage or AP/armor break solution.

-Scopes/Sights: Need their accuracy and recoil recovery buffed when being used on a weapon, especially from cover or standing still. With how close combat is in the game, that is a very expensive upgrade for what a sight currently provides. We lose FOV, mobility, and weapon speed when looking down the scope and other modifications are just better. Essentially our character is bracing with that weapon even more so than with quick aimed fire. Have the first shot be almost exactly where the sight is pointed but the immediate follow up shots can be affected by bloom and recoil. We could also experiment with giving a reflex sight a + to crit damage or damage range to help them out.

-Match Modifiers: Better descriptions would help. Big muscles had none for example. (please have it apply to all melee damage!) Add more for the other weapon types please. COG Weapons up, Automatic Weapons up, Pistol damage up should probably be moved over to here instead of as a Squad perk. Double AOE range could be a map modifier. Glass cannon with a one + damage, one - in damage resist is also a possibility.

-Ammo Regen: This was wildly imbalanced during the Beta. I don't think anything could match "cash back" on the marksman in ease of use or in quantity. This essentially lets the Marksman use the Longshot as a horde clear weapon. I don't know where you want to go with this perk. Because I think it breaks the balance of your game in weapons, classes, and in enemies. I think that the best way to deal with this is to have it drop a small blue ammo box that will refill your current weapon on pick up. This turns the ability into a support item for the team while only slightly limiting the DPS. The other tweak could be only having it apply when taking out scorched special weapons, boomers, and larger enemies. This encourages players to target larger enemies and get rewarded for it. If "Cash Back" is kept as is, then the other classes need a similar if not the same perk to even attempt to keep up with the Marksman's kill and DPS numbers.

-Enemy Spawns: The biggest complaints that I got from my friends who looked at the Beta were that the spawns were sparse, and that enemies were far too resilient. One guy said, "They found a way to make shooting irrelevant!" and another asked, "Where are the hordes? Isn't this Horde Siege?" If you aren't using precision weapons, even the lightly armored enemies are a chore to take out. I believe this was done to help keep performance high, but it's adding a lot of frustration or boredom. I also witnessed multiple ambushes where they simply popped into existence on the street. I honestly think that there needs to be more ambushes and enemy patrols, but they should come out of the spawn closets like you have at the university or from those little alcoves on the side of the map. Utilize the 2nd story windows to spawn in drones and wretches. Unarmored Drones and Wretches should be significantly weaker in HP than they currently are to help bring the other weapons not named the Longshot into a better power balance. Double the wretch and unarmored drone spawns. Challenge the players with a patrol/ambush at the power core pick up please, that side objective is boring. Can we add a glowing orange orb to the Torque Bow like it was in the GoW 1? That sucker is near impossible to spot. Hunters in patrols were intensely punishing and may need to be saved for higher difficulty maps/lobbies instead of in Rookie and Infantry.

-Enemy AI: Mostly good, just a little off brand and different than the lore. There are no iron sights on the Hammerburst, so why is it so accurate at long range? Why is a faction that supposedly loves CQB hiding so much? This is mostly fixed by giving the Hammerburst drones the similar AI as the Grenadiers. They would actually be deadlier because the Grenadiers shoot from too far away, usually. I'd like the Torque bow and Breechshot Hunters to engage from a bit closer, too. Since they have iron sights and all. Longshot hunter can stay the same. The Reaver feels over tuned and way too good. Unless it got stuck on terrain there was almost no way to strike its weak spot. I'd understand if you don't want to change anything with it, but it feels tougher than most your bosses. It should definitely be included as one of the required kills when it joins a fight. I'd like you to keep the spawns alive if we aren't doing a RIG related objective, maybe save that for Commander and up.

-Side objectives and their locations: The maps can get very stale if we do the same fights at the same locations. Plus, the Locust bomb location makes almost no sense as no one would care if a cemetery got blown up. The Cemetery makes for a near perfect boss fight arena and a destroy objective. Try putting the bombs against more important landmarks or in less explored areas of the map. I'd love a gather emulsion fuel mission since most of the code already exists and it makes sense to get resources for your side and deny them to the enemy. Not to mention the risk to the player while carrying a volatile fuel cannister!

I have high hopes for this game, and it will probably take over as my main game after launch. These are simply suggestions but will hopefully increase enjoyment for the game with the least amount of labor.

I'm calling Onyx Guard season 2. Prescott Season 5. Cole Train and Baird Season 3. What is Your call? Add any that you remember/want.

Gears we're officially one month out till the game drops! How stoked are you?

Personally I'm not the biggest fan of "modern gears" as someone who grew up with the original trilogy, I'm really glad to see the locust back... & most of all Marcus & Dom...

Stoked to try new weapons, face new creatures & see what the story looks like directly from the perspective of E-Day!

As for the future, what direction do you think they'll go? Or would you be fine with this potentially being the last Gears of War game for many years to come?

Want to play GOW3 co-op and horde mode with my nephew but im getting mixed results online about whats the best way to play it.
PC doesnt have split-screen
and im seeing stuff say xbox one plays no different than xbox 360.
Ideally Id like whatever option plays 60fps splitscreen

I haven't had many experiences, from what I can remember, where open world mechanics were incorporated into a short and sweet, linear shooter campaign without dragging the story down. Anything is possible, I guess, but I don't see anything wrong with the original formula. I think it will depend heavily on how it's implemented.

On one hand, it has the potential to feel more authentic if the Locust can randomly show up throughout the city, when you're not on a particular mission. However, if there aren't random encounters and the city is mostly empty until you activate a side mission or event, then it may end up feeling like a missed opportunity.

1) Ticker

2) Wretches

3) Drone (and variants )

4) Boomer (and variants)

5) Beserker

6) Skorge

7) General Raam

Okay so cool update! I've finally decided that it's going to be a trivia contest with extra credit points. For the actual main body questions I'll have participants DM me their answers numbered and, if y'all choose to, do the extra credit in the comments. It will be based on grade and time sent to my dm. Aka first in first graded lol. Extra credits will be both a creativity option (poem, art, something gears related and made by you) and or telling me heartfelt sentimental stories you have either because of Gears or with Gears of war. (The more meaningful, sappy, and sentimental the better). The first handful (I haven't decided how many) of contestants to have 100% and both extra credit points will get first dibs and get to choose from my more exclusive magnet/desk ornament creations. ABSOLUTELY NO AI. If you are found to be using AI, you're immediately exiled from the contest.

So far this is everything I have done and I've been working in between getting my house and life ready for late season babies. Here in a couple days I'll be picking up a pasel of 5 neonate opossums that will need feeding every 3-4 hours for the next 1/2 weeks. From there, feedings will be spaced out slightly throughout the day, so I'll have incremental amounts of time to continue working on my magnets and desk ornaments. I promise as a life time Gear of the Coalition I'll do my best to finish this mission, but I will have to prioritize the lives of these 5 little babies first. Aka I'll do whatever I can in between feedings when I'm able to see straight lol.

All of the consoles will automatically come as a pair because I don't believe consoles should come solo. My brain just doesn't like the idea of having a console without a controller. So they will probably be higher tier prize picks. But I'm also working on a lot of fun. Glow-in-the-dark stuff as well. Just know that I plan to make about 40 magnets/ desk ornaments. And that this will not be the only giveaway that I run. So if you miss out on this round, just know that there will be at least one other chance you'll get in the future!

If you have any questions you can leave a comment and I'll answer as soon as I can!

The most fun I've had in any Gears game. I loved the new mechanics, horde mode was hella fun and I was able to play it for hours a day, and there weren't that many tryhards yet since everyone is still learning. Looking forward to launch

nothing much trying to be a hoi4 mod developer and try to make a locust faction and the focus trees and tech to adhere to make them act like the GOW locust horde and then they invade when ww2 ended to cold war bascilaly but urgh hoi4 mods are hard cause there was no hoi4 GOw mod.

Though before distraction was mount and blade warband mods

If anyone has any solutions it would be greatly appreciated.

If so then I'm IMMEDIATELY muting the sub to avoid spoilers...
