r/GearsOfWar

any shot we can get a better anti cheat or actually start perma banning cheaters. I have not seen a single cheater since g4 ever get banned ever not even one time and I hope that changes on g4 it is just rampant with people using damage mods and aimbot then g5 we have losers pretending to be good because the cheats even lets them change their pellet spread to the point where it is unnoticable and if you are in that elo discord as someone that plays without cheats I feel bad for you because most of that cord has jsons

First time poster really haven't even lurked but the new E-day announcement has my playing the games again in prep. Super excited.

I bet this is a super basic take but: this always is what should have come after gears 3 right? Like, end the story at 3 and just keep doing prequel stuff? The concept of the war continuously going feels kind of cheap and makes the efforts and story progression of the first 3 feel kind of bad? Again super Luke warm take I bet.

Gears 4 was a total snoozer and I heard 5 was just as bad.

That's my entire post. Going to now search the sub for similar posts.

One of the main thing I'm hoping we'll see in E-Day are these big battles we saw in Gears Of War 2. Particularly similair to the climactic battle in Jacinto. That truly felt like you were in a big war. With dozens of king ravens and reavers flying around, anti-air and artillery fire and large groups of enemies.

The E-Day showcase left me a little concerned we're not gonna see stuff like that in the game. It's a tiny negative though and I still think the game looks amazing.

But it still seems like they're going with the smaller scope like Gears 1, 3 and 4 for example. With smal scale skirmishes instead of a big battle. It's Emergence Day. The day the locust showed up in full force and the cog was probably considerably stronger than they are during the events of the first game 14 years later. I just feel like there should be some really big battles in E-Day.

Here's hoping they simply haven't shown everything yet. I guess we'll see. Can't wait either way

One thing that's bothered me about Gears 5 is the fact that 4v4 feels too quiet, samey, and predictable. I miss the chaotic nature of a 5v5 where that 1 extra player can change the tide of grabbing a power weapon.

For instance, on Gridlock whenever the opposing team has a great sniper player, the next adjustment would be to send that extra player to push sniper with that duo going to sniper, grab nades in the center and flush out sniper with them. But they will need to win that 1v1 if the other team makes the same decision. The extra player acts as a wild card to make strats more interesting.

2v2 feels the exact opposite. Each team will send 2v2s to each power weapon, if one person dies the other falls back.

From Gears 2-4 the game has been 5v5. I didn't understand the change.

What's your opinion on this? Do you prefer 5v5? Or 4v4? Would you be open to these player counts being in select modes?

Why isn't this a thing 20+ years into this series. I hate the advantage that right sided cover has. You should haven't to use a glitch to hard aim from the left side which switches back to right if you don't hold ADS.

Is that a wrong statement? 30 chars
