Are they setting the series up to go back to 4v4? They changed TDM to 4v4, and now they're testing 4v4 KOTH.

Gears 5 |OT| "That's FIVE, motherfuckers!"
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
I'm not against that honestly. 5v5 is fast paced with a lot of kills, but it's very hectic and it's one more Lancer crossing that makes set ups harder to break. 4v4 would make every kill count a little more, give you more of a breather and maybe balance the scales a bit.
yes it seems like a change they're pushing and once TDM and KOTH move to 4v4 the rest ofd the game can follow.
it's regressive and my only conclusion is that their netcode can't handle 5v5. that or the low population is easier to handle with 2 less player per match.
if 5v5 was an issue why wasn't this ever changed in the 10 years between Gears1 and today?
I'm glad they're attempting to fine tune the Gnasher. It's only taken 6 games but we're finally getting there.
Also I played a little bit of 4v4 TDM and thought it played well so I'm not against them trying it out with other modes. Though KotH is more likely to benefit from the chaos of 5v5 I think.

Wow, look at that strafing! I never thought I'd see the day where Gears 5 actually punished near-misses so harshly. Love it!
For the love of God put the 5 stacks with the 5 stacks. This shit was figured out 20 yrs ago. If your games population shit then fuck the 5 stacks not the larger solo population.
If you must put the 5 stacks somewhere then let them play solos at least 1 level above then that might even the odds.
This shit annoying I'm guessing the 5 stacks are searching for an hour because when they get in a game they enjoy not ending it and just farming.

If you got three or more in ya party, ok you can play with the four five stacks. But stop putting solo/duo niggas into a full party of Onyx/Diamond sweaty ass dudes with matching clan names. Y'all know damn wel this ain't gon be an even match.
Hipfire currently has a tighter spread than ADS in the beta playlist lol. Overall though, just feels like a super powered Gnasher as opposed to a more consistent one. Think I prefer the current one.
"We made minor update to the game today. We're not thrilled with how Pahanu plays in KOTH so we have pulled it from all KOTH playlists (Ranked, Quickplay, Events, and Beta)."

Thinking of picking up the game via CD Keys. Question though: if it says Xbox One / PC, is this redeemable for Steam?

I'm a little iffy about what's "PC" entails in this case, if it's for Steam or exclusively by way of the Microsoft Store.

I don't think so. XB1/PC implies it's the Windows Store version.Thinking of picking up the game via CD Keys. Question though: if it says Xbox One / PC, is this redeemable for Steam?

So I got an achievement for winning a ffa after coming from behind 10. But the regular win didn't unlock? 🤔
Probably so. A lot of the speculation about it has been that it was updated to fit the mocap actor for the DLC.
Yah also this screenshot from reddit shows a new enemy(?)
If the campaign dlc is really coming out next operation I can't believe they aren't talking about it sooner
Well maybe I can

It's looking like Team Scorpio is going to get some time in the spotlight.
I'm shocked they put that much effort into this campaign update. Dave Bautista as Marcus is a fun bit, but I don't think I'd ever use it. New Game+ and the character skins in campaign is a nice bonus, though.
Dana said on stream yesterday that the new operation will have more than nine characters and we also know that they're aiming to have more maps than Op 4 did. Gears is almost back.

A master horde run on overload takes about an hour to go wave 1-50 and is efficient XP
Isn't an issue for low level characters? I even I would insult myself if I played a master run with a low level character
Lol oops I didn't consider that. For a low level character, running through the escape map "The Surge" on Insane is a good character xp earn rate and doesn't really require being able to kill anything.
By god, that's Dizzy and Skorge!
Really excited for Op 5. Can't wait to see the new maps we're getting. Hopefully they get my letters and we get Mansion in this game eventually.

That'd sure be a kick in the balls since the only characters I can think of that were part of Hollow Storm that aren't in the game are Tai and Jace, outside of Dizzy and Skorge obviously.
Edit: Maybe Jonathan Harper too which would be awesome but seems like a stretch.
I'd think it would include Hoffman, as well. Especially since he's likely a part of the campaign expansion next month.
Teaser
You'll be happy I think
Looks great 5 maps bunch of skins and a new weapon so far
I was going to say prior to the teaser that I wonder if this meant River is coming back with the focus on Gears 2, let me know if anyone can specify further...
5 Maps: River, Ruins?, ?, ?, ?
7 Characters: Dizzy, Tai, Anya, Skorge, 3 Lambent enemies
Scorcher coming back

Ok guys, I've played a fair amount of gears mp but going to play campaign which I haven't done much before. Is the whole series in coop worth it or shall I just start with anniversary 4/5?
I typically play the campaign solo, but I have completed at least 2 & 3 in co-op. If you have somebody who would enjoy playing with you I think its more fun/rewarding together, but I don't think playing solo hurts the experience too much. Either way, enjoy, they're fun!
This is one of those games where no matter how many times i try to get better with the gnasher i always end up sucking.
Interesting, thanks! My only concern about 2/3 is that they'll feel a little outdated. Gears 5 honestly plays so well on Series x it makes such a big difference.
That's a fair concern, the further you go back, the stiffer the game gets. Ultimate Edition while looking better, plays how the original did and feels the stiffest. I was downloading 5 last night on the Series X so I haven't played it yet but I'm sure its fantastic, it was already great on One X. From a gameplay flow perspective its just been a constant tuning, 5>4>3>2>1 in that sense. I don't know how much work they put into the movement with Judgement, it feels very close to 3 from a fluidity standpoint.
Also from a dated standpoint, 2 & 3 having enhancements makes them perform better so that helps it not feel as dated. UE is scheduled to be enhanced soon too as they've shown that off earlier this year. Obviously 4 was enhanced for X, I imagine they'll get around to Judgement too because its a visual stunner for a 360 game.
Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I may start with 5 and work back as the person I'm playing with hasn't played gears before (and think that'll be the most accessible start gameplay wise based on what you've said)
I think Horde is finally getting there. Hopefully the next PvE tuning does something to address how lackluster the (formerly) Halo and Terminator character classes are.

Most of the new passives seem meh and tied to the ult which goes against what a passive should be(?)
most of the focus seemed to be on fixing Hivebuster characters and making more consistent card counts for earlier characters
The changes are all good but this patch seems to missing a new class or a huge overhaul in terms of gameplay. Maybe the new enemies will make up for it
Tying Cole to the Sorcher seems like a bad choice that character already has so many cards
Looks alright, you can see the Sorcher getting a skins as well.
