Please tell me, what evolution do you want? Wall running? Jumping? Sprinting and shooting? Destroy able environment? Killstreaks?

The graphics are pretty terrible and this is BETA..its not going to significantly change. For those of us who paid full 500 for the console.....we feel ripped off and this is a top tier IP...it is underwhelming....Not at all a significant upgrade over 360's Gears of War 3.
By the way I am level 27 or 28.... I have played it throughly. This is not a troll post.

it ends at 12pm EST?
Your fault for spending $500 for the this game before you knew what it would be like.
Only played a few matches. I guess I just don't like Gears as much as I thought anymore. Sucks I wasn't able to get lvl 20 for the Vintage Kait stuff. Unlike Gears 3 beta where I played as much as possible to unlock all the beta rewards.
Maybe we'd be able to buy her stuff as dlc eventually.

~2.5 hours of grinding co-op TDM later I went from lvl 10 to lvl 20. Vintage Kait is mine, and I never want to play any of those maps ever again.

Subete no aware
Yeah, they should have made it level 10 or something.
I grinded to 20 through co-op and completing every single bounty. I think I hate the game now. lol

Just got to level 20. Phew!
MAN I suck at Gears. I used to destroy on Gears 2. I just... I am no gud on this Beta. I'll swear I think I'm getting a gnasher headshot, and I just whiff. I know its beta, and I've seen plenty of glitches throughout, but Jesus H. I'll get owned during Dodgeball and TDM.
Co-op is night and day. Bots are bleh.

They really need to remove grenade planting. Such an awful mechanic.
I'm honestly astounded they brought it back at all.

I want a destroyable environment!
As for the complaining, I don't quite get the hate, but to each their own. I had fun with it, it controlled well. I just miss the sawed off

get out.
You want destruction and top tier graphics while a game aims for 1080P/60FPS on Xbox One? You have only yourself to blame for your sky high expectations from an underpowered machine.
The only reason you think things don't change between beta and launch is because you've been playing marketing demos that come out a month before release and get called a beta. This game is a real beta, the build you are playing right now is few months old and add the next 6 months they have until release, it's missing things that will make it in the final game.
Hit LB and you see if there are grenades planted on your way
Yeah sad that it ends today

I love it. It's hilarious.
You can see planted grenades through walls and objects if you press LB. People only plant grenades in some specific locations rather than anywhere they can see because it becomes useless if they plant it in some far corner (you'll know where if you get used to the maps). So all you need to do is press LB before approaching that area rather than holding it all the time.

It's the short fuse time on planted nades that annoys me, sometimes they explode before the 3 beeps play out and sometimes the grenade has a delayed fuse, must be a latency thing.
If they had a longer planted fuse time they would be less annoying and in turn require better planting setups to make them effective

Just hit level 20. I'd say Dodgeball is easy XP if you're not half bad and get a decent team. Played a 3-0 win with each round having like 6-7 respawns on each team and lots of comebacks. It filled the XP bar on level 19-to-20 by 50%. Coop TDM wins only give you 100XP, PvP gives 1000XP.
Yeah, for those wanting to get to Lv20 quicker, Dodgeball is definitely the way to go for XP boosts

Got to level 20 last night, so I'm safe for the rewards, but will miss the beta until the game launches. Today is a Sunday, I wish we had the whole day to play. A lot of people will see the beta lasts unril May 1st and will probably think they have the whole day to play. Please, Coalition, extend the beta 12 hours!

Anybody have a Gold trial I can use? A 24 or 48-hour code would be perfect since it ends tomorrow.

Use your taccom, it shows all planted grenades on the map. Yours and theirs.
Tac-com....
They literally let you see where enemies have it planted. How anyone can complain about it is beyond me.

Nevermind, I found a code lying around. Yay!

Why do people keep saying Tac-Com like that means something?
You guys seriously run around with LB held down the entire game? lol
It's irrelevant anyway. Planting grenades is an awful mechanic. It was in awful in Gears 2. It was awful in Gears 3. It's awful in Gears 4.
There's no place for it.

Nope but I press it when I spawn just to see what power weapons are up and also to check for any planted grenades. It's useful and doesn't take long at all.
Ehm, I used Tac-Com in UE very often, why wouldnt you use Tac-Com?

I do use tac-com. I just don't buy it as a reason as to why planting grenades is okay. It's something that just shouldn't exist and its entire purpose is to promote camping and give bad players cheap kills.
If you want to pick up frags then learn to throw them and earn your kills. I don't feel like that's so much to ask.
I could make the argument that the shotgun needs to be nerfed because all it does it encourage people to use one weapon all the time. I could, but I won't because that's dumb. Nade planting is a valid tactic that brings balance to a game that is all about shotgun duels. It's an equalizer and the best games all have several of them.
Yeah, it's very useful. I use it for knowing if a weapon has spawned, where teammates are, looking for planted grenades etc.

It's your own fault if you die from a planted grenade. Use the tac-com and perhaps listen and look once in a while instead of running straight into planted grenades.

I love wall-tagging. I don't care if you're dumb enough to die to one. Although they are too powerful in this game. If it was like in 2 or 3 where you could run through it or roll without dying it would be better.
Because this game has no death spot like halo or cod has and is missing the "Y to see downed teammate" that's been in every gears, you need to use tac com to see where teammates are at to know where they died. If you're not using that and getting blasted by easy plants lol that's not the devs fault. They gave you the tools to evade these things in 3, now they're giving you the whole platter
But that's fine it's your opinion but people do the most obvious plants anyway lol
Like its so strange to me that someone would be like "wow you guys use a mechanic in the game that's strange XD"
