Hit Level 20 today and I love what they did with the MP, especially Arcade. On the one side that mode is more casual but it`s also surprisingly strategic, team play is pretty important because you can`t just gnash your way through. Then again it can be a chaotic spectacle at times when people pull out the big guns, lol.
Besides that, I really enjoy Lancer-gunplay, feels like the first Gears-game I actually aim at the head, thank The Coalition for the hitmarkers, recoil and audible feedback!
Only negatives for me, so far: when DBNO and crawling, I always get stuck in an invisible wall. And I don`t like the pre-match-screen, characters look so static compared to that screen in Gears 4.
