    I heard Golden Gun was coming back

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:25 AM PST

    Just finished painting.

    How on earth is this 5 dollars?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 04:36 PM PST

    Unpopular opinion; Gears 5 needed a big scale war mode

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 04:39 AM PST

    A 10vs10, or 15vs15 action with perhaps some places guns and more, damn even recreating iconic battles of the Gears franchise (Jacinto, Landown, Hollow Storm etc)

    An objective based mode, linear as Battlefields Operations/Breakthrough

    Escape is nice but I really wanted something bigger and more crazy !

    What do you guys think?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 06:54 PM PST

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:49 PM PST

    The item of the day is a Cog Tag Mark for 100 Iron, I truly want to give you money TC, but this ain't it.

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 10:07 AM PST

    was it ever explained why the lambent drones from Gears 2 didn't explode when killed?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 06:31 PM PST

    And done now I just have to wait for operation 2

    Posted: 07 Nov 2019 02:07 AM PST

    [Spoilers] I hope we get this character in multiplayer in the future

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 12:34 PM PST

    You wake up in the Gears of War universe and your last name is now Carmine. How do you survive?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 06:25 AM PST

    I don't care what anybody says, quitting punishments should be harsher.

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 05:19 PM PST

    A game mode idea

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:56 PM PST

    Since terminator is such a big thing with gears 5 might as well make a game mode. Marked for Termination, the COG side will be taking the roles of onyx guards and deebees protecting Jinn who has been marked for termination. The swarm or the terminators will consist of a t-800 t-100 and the REV all having special attacks and ultimates they can utilize to their advantage. The COG have an ability to scan AI citizens to check if they are terminators but this takes time so the actual terminators have time to reach Jinn's office and terminate her. The onyx guards ultimate is healing boost where they have more max health, Deebee ultimate is scanning system, that'll pick up the terminators. T-800 ultimate is brute strength where they become invincible to firearms for a short duration of time. T-1000 ultimate is spear where they can turn their hands into spears that can rip apart their enemies for a short duration of time. The REV ultimate is splitting into 2 where it's human form will seek a safe spot while the endoskeleton goes rampante. The terminators only have one life and the onyx guards all have 5. There are 3 checkpoints the terminators must reach before reaching their target. Every checkpoint reached adds more time and lives to the terminators. Weapons and ammunition can be found in the map but terminators can only hold pistols until third check point. 3v5 style only requires 1 match to win. Criticism is allowed tell me your thoughts.

    Mini Gears fan. Oops!

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 04:41 AM PST

    My husband regularly takes our 3 year old out so they can have father, son bonding time, which is amazing! I use the time to catch up with a few chores my kid hates, then play some gears. No to say they're on their way home, so I've been busted. Now, my kid is used to seeing Marcus around from my collection of stuff, he's all about monsters and Halloween and all things scary, but being that he's 3, I would try to turn it off, which creates actual tears of sadness because "I want to watch mama get the bad guy monsters!"

    So, me being the terrible mother I am, explain its not real, its just a game, just like his running Tom game. He understands, and is pleading with me to play. I tell him, If he gets scared, just tell me, and I'll turn it off. But he doesn't get scared, he just cheers me on! Asks me what all the different types of monsters are, asks all the characters names, etc.

    I might get a lot of crap for this, but I'm rather proud of my little lad. And I'm so excited for him to grow and learn how to use the controller so I can play Co op with him.

    Update:

    So, kiddo spent the whole night peacefully sleeping, the only side effect has been him questioning me this morning about how if the game isn't real, then does that mean chickens and pumpkins aren't real. Even though he's stroked chickens and has pumpkins from Halloween in the garden. Kiddo is metal af!

    Is golden gun meant to be out? I only have pumpkin ball as an option.

    Posted: 07 Nov 2019 02:09 AM PST

    When's it out or is my game glitched? It said in the What's up about golden gun being the anniversary event this week but it's not an option for me.

    This weeks hive can be extremely easy on Master difficulty

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 01:29 PM PST

    If you're lucky and have good RNG, you can have your first act be 90% rejects and juvies. When you get to the room with the buzzkill scion before the first saferoom, you can actually just run to the right, across the bridge and straight to the safe room without having to fight anything.

    Same for Act 2, with good RNG you will get 90% Rejects and a total of maybe 5 Scions (Usually two with Salvos and three with Buzzkills).

    If you take it slow and save your ammo, as well as hitting the ammo rooms, you can absolutely decimate the last rush of enemies at the helipad with your shock grenades, ultimate abilities and boomshots/heavies.

    As for the RNG, I've managed to beat it twice on Master already, and it seems to be something like a 1 in 4 chance of having a "Reject Run" in both Acts.

    We need 3 gear-heads for gear allies achievement

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:02 PM PST

    I got 1 buddy who is consistent with me. Looking for 3 more consistent players.

    We understand playing co-op vs AI is the fastest way but that is boring. We will do this method if operation 2 can be tackled along with it.

    We like to play versus and I'm a Master rank. I also was diamond master in G4. I dont expect you to be the best but would prefer players who are at least onyx rank in Gears 4 (cant rely on Gears 5 ranking system yet)

    Our strategy is to have fun becuase we love Gears. We plan on playing a lot of Execution and TDM for quick easy rounds. We are also open to the other game modes. Although this may take longer than the co-op vs AI method, this will be more fun and time will go faster becuase that's how time works when we have fun.

    We also are high level in horde and escape. Please try to be well rounded yourself. Also make sure Gears is your main game . We will also share phone numbers to try our best to synchronize play times. Time zone is eastern USA.

    I'm off to bed, hopefully someone messages. I will message back tomorrow. Peace

    Matchmaking Playlist Potential Improvements

    Posted: 07 Nov 2019 12:46 AM PST

    As someone from APAC region I have some ideas for improvements that could help with the player base issue and overall health of the playlists.

    • All PvP settings need to have the same damage numbers and aim assist tuning for consistency. This will help players transition from the more "casual" game modes into the more competitive ones.
    • Ranked needs to be consolidated into one option and you vote on the game mode within the game (game modes should be (EXE/ESC/KOTH only), this would help with the player base issue as there is only one place to search for ranked (currently its too spread out)
    • Ranked play should be limited to 1-2 players searching at a time
    • Remove arms race from the quick match playlist
    • Allow up to groups of 5 to search in quick match
    • Add a toggle to exclude game modes from quick match e.g. turn off guardian matches
    • Remove co-op vs AI as a game mode
    • Add option to search for other regions - currently it's literally impossible to find a ranked game in APAC
    • This leaves 4 playlists to choose from only arcade, quick play, ranked and special events

    Let me know what you guys think!

    TC, can you give us an update on duplicate skill cards by Tour of Duty 2?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 09:10 AM PST

    Title really says it all. A while back we had clarification that the reason we couldn't scrap cards on maxed out skills, but still receive them as rewards in Escape/Horde, is that TC were contemplating adding additional levels to skills.

    Could you confirm if this is actually happening by Tour of Duty 2? Or if a scrap system will be coming into place soon? It's very frustrating and seems very disingenuous when you get more greens/blues and even purples of skills you've maxed out, and you can't even put THOSE towards getting even slightly closer to maxing your other skills... or crafting skins.. or anything really.

    Best horde cards for Del?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 07:48 PM PST

    What are your setups for Del? I'm struggling to find out which ones I should really have on and ones that I should take off
