You can see tagged grenades with LB.

amazing! I can live with wall tags now.

My new issues with the game are that the swarm are too similar and you cant tell whos who from a distance.

Some of the human characters need more armor, that one woman is fighting in a tank top. Looks kinda Ridiculous.

Would like spawn swapping to return so you cant be pinned in the spawn.

 

[J-Roderton]

Can we not choose our characters on this?

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

Can we not choose our characters on this?

No we can't and I am sick of playing as Kait for the majority.

 

[Dice]

You need to aim a bit to the left. Your aim is slightly off.

Yep, you can see it most clearly in the first gif. I have the same issue. I think newcomers are inclined to shoot right because the camera pivots on the character to the left, but the character shoots diagonally toward center so many meters out. You have to have more of a mental check on the angle of their gun to line up that diagonal path while basically ignoring what the camera is using as center.

 

[XBIGYLDN]

Are the servers down for anyone else?

 

[Ashes2Bashers]

Is it just me or characters feel way too light and weightless..I don't feel like ı am controlling my character..

 

[jay23]

I need to get a lot better at moving around the map I see people bouncing all over the place and I can't do that. Any tips?

 

[Moofers]

Is it confirmed that Horde mode will be in Gears 4 ?

Not confirmed but they have said they understand how many fans would be disappointed without it. I would bet cash money it'll be back.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Is it confirmed that Horde mode will be in Gears 4 ?

Nope but I have a strong feeling that they will reveal the horde mode at E3 plus a Windows 10 version with horde cross play

 

[VincentMatts]

Having fun with this. Delighted to hear that the Sawed-Off is out.

These are all very very bad ideas...my god.

-Lunge movement + Shotgun is the core of close range combat. Why would you want to gimp it by introducing something that has never been in Gears and would gimp it entirely? Close Range = Movement.

-Take longer? Not sure what this means. But that sounds like it'd slow down the game. You basically want it to be like they're wading through water when getting in and out of cover?

-Lancer is a long range weapon and primarily acts as support. The retro is your stronger machine gun. No need for this to be stronger. It's a good balance, where it is now.

Well then ill pass on this MP altogether. A whole bunch of people jumping around back and forth with a shotgun in every game isnt my idea of fun.

 

[Dice]

Fuck man these super short rounds really suck when it comes to getting a feel for everything. The skilled people get most of the kills really fast and I get maybe a couple but spend most of the match on only 4 respawn timers. I would love to have rounds like 4x longer so I can give it more of a go without all the loading and stuff breaking it up.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Played the Beta today. Loved it!! Gears 4 is gonna be day 1 here!

I just hope they release horde mode though. I prefer to play against AI since I play casually, and horde mode will be a perfect addition!

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Is it just me or characters feel way too light and weightless..I don't feel like ı am controlling my character..

they feel a bit lighter and snappier, like roadie run seems more responsive when turning for instance.

the framerate not being a solid 60 and the lag makes it hard for me to nail exactly how it feels though. Still, something just seems off about the handling of the character but maybe that's just because I played so much of Gears 3 and UE.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

No, but with Rod in charge I feel confident it will be there.

I really dont think that this is a good indication if that mode will be there...

 

[Moofers]

I really dont think that this is a good indication if that mode will be there...

They've gone out of their way to acknowledge that a lot of people want it. It'll be there.

 

[Danis Saur]

Haven't received my beta access, but don't really have a rush to play the game since I'm so close to the Open date of the beta. The earlier, the better though.

 

[S.Holmes]

No, but with Rod in charge I feel confident it will be there.

Not confirmed but they have said they understand how many fans would be disappointed without it. I would bet cash money it'll be back.

Phew. Thnx guys At least one can be hopeful.. Horde is why I play Gears. Without it I wouldn't buy it day 1 quite frankly.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Damn, I agree with damn near all of this. I'm still enjoying the game, but yeah. Sound and vibration definitely need some serious attention. The Hammerburst is such a bust of a weapon, right now. It's simply too slow given its power, range, and accuracy.

I'm torn on the active reload criticism though. It's a response to seasoned players' behavior. We used to have to rattle off shots to get an active and now we don't have to. If they take it away, I'm still going to go into an encounter with actives, they just made it easier. There's no real penalty when doing it the old fashioned way, because you have plenty of ammunition or have already switched to a power weapon.

with the old system if i wanted to have a full active clip of lancer for example then i will have to waste a full clip of bullet in order to get it, this takes time and is risky as u will be running around the battlefield with an empty gun.

the new system takes all this away, it is just way too easy to have full clip of actives. in previous games i would waste 3 bullets in gnasher then pre-active before a battle but now i can have 8 active bullets at my disposal by doing nothing.

maybe they can change the implementation, if you active on a full clip then you will only get 1/4 of the bullets as active, the rest will be normal. to get more active you will have to waste bullets. but even then i would just prefer the old system

 

[Strootman]

so satisfying

On the other hand you can't get active immediately after a battle if you had before starting the battle...since most people reload after a kill but here if you want active you have to avoid reloading.

Anyone still need a code?

 

[Moofers]

Phew. Thnx guys At least one can be hopeful.. Horde is why I play Gears. Without it I wouldn't buy it day 1 quite frankly.

Same here. I've been following the whole thing pretty closely since they announced they'd be doing another one and I think they've dropped enough hints that I can feel pretty secure about it. There's been a LOT of Horde talk on the official forums, so they couldn't possibly be so out of touch with their audience.

 

[Mr.Fletcher]

If the new active system is my biggest gripe with the game's balance, the plethora of delays between certain actions is it's biggest sin mechanically.

It's the reason Gears 3 and UE feel more responsive and tight.

There is a good thread on the Gears forums discussing it here https://gearsofwar.com/en-us/forums...ta/581952a2-2059-47a5-8fb5-160f3f1aab47/posts

 

[greelay]

Anyone still need a code?

Yeah, please.

 

[Zombine]

So, I typically underperform when it comes to Gears multi, but now the game suddenly clicks with 4?

I'm going 2.0+ K/D's and generally winning every single game. I can work a gnasher incredibly well, which was something that I couldn't do in the past.

Any major adjustments or am I just better?

 

[nOoblet16]

I don't know how many of you guys have noticed this but one of the things that was common in past Gears game was that whenever someone hid behind a chest high cover you could still see then from the other side somewhat.

That seems to be absent in Gears 4 on most chest high covers be it due to how the chest high covers are or how the maps are laid out. But it does mean it's difficult to find people hiding in a cover right in front of you even if them move.

The Gnasher is just incredibly easy to use in Gears 4 due to high damage and high gib range.

 

[Dice]

From all reports gnasher is ridiculously OP now.

 

[Zombine]

So basically I'm just wicked good is what you're saying.

lol

Agreed, I've been surprised to find an opponent behind cover multiple times when I could have sworn no one was there.

This is one of the worst things. I'm whipping between covers or roadie run strafing trying to out-gun someone and my gun just won't shoot in time ;_;

Yea it's a common glitch, need to restart the game. If it doesn't work then restart again..until it does.

Funnily enough, right before I watched this GIF my unreal 4 engine work was having the exact same problem, luckily it just resolved it self.

spooky

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Dodgeball is amazing. I could never get into tdm just found it boring and playing execution/warzone felt boring, loved it in gears 1 but times change. Dodgeball is the perfect marriage of tdm and execution.

On the other hand you can't get active immediately after a battle if you had before starting the battle...since most people reload after a kill but here if you want active you have to avoid reloading.

Thats minor drawback tbh, most battles ive been in so far ive not had to reload immediately after.

 

[aBarreras]

eeeeeeeh, not really, you know you can reload without using your active reload right?

Time is ending.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Anymore codes out there??

 

[Nori Chan]

i had near damn 4000 points in tim

and we still lose

 

[HiiiLife]

Recently played GoW UE for the first time after the beta. Damn this feels...slow compared to 4. 4 is just so agile and responsive. I find myself getting stuck to walls in UE. And also, wall bouncing is wack lol. Why is this still a thing in the franchise?

 

[aBarreras]

Dodgeball is perfect for you then hehe

 

[balohna]

That first point blank active would have splattered me all over the map.

And this just sums up every Gnasher battle I have had so far.

I seriously can't play this beta for more than 2 games at a time before I am wholly burned out by it.

I still have a spare beta code, anyone that still needs it?

That's half your spread hitting his leg vs. a headshot on you.

 

[Nori Chan]

I click claim beta rewards and it gives me the rate animation but it then says I have failed to clam the rewards try again, and it doesn't give me an option to claim them on the main menu.


Has anything like this happen to anyone

 

[NateDrake]

That's half your spread hitting his leg vs. a headshot on you.

Indeed.

Firing from the hip in Gears 4 isn't like Gears UE where the bullets come from the center of the screen. The spread is going down because the gun is aimed down.

 

[BioHazard]

Should I have my code by now? I still don't. I only started playing UE 2-3 weeks ago

Oh wow thats bad.

I'm getting absolutely rekt by the gnasher. And I can't use it to save my life lol.

Meanwhile, they better have stuff like this in Gears 4 campaign:

"WHOOO!!"

Holy crap ummm is it just me or does Gears 3 look quite a bit better graphically than the beta?

 

[tav7623]

Has Anyone Else Have This Happen Yet?

Yep, I've also had points disappear (approx 2500 worth, and it of course happened right as I was about to reach Rank 20 earlier this evening) and I even had an instance where it essentially crashed mid match, but instead of instantly booting me the main menu it let me run around the map with the rest of the "players" running in place firing my lancer for as long as I wanted without reloading (even though it did no damage) for a good 5 minutes.

 

[nOoblet16]
