    About a week ago I decided to go back and marathon the Gears games in my free time. Just got to Gears 3 and already the game has me choked up again.

    Finished stars for General last night around midnight :) I really enjoy this game. Also, earlier in the tour I was able to buy the celestial lancer with earned iron, pretty cool imo.

    PSA for People Posting Pictures, utilize the Screenshot feature.

    Posted: 14 Jan 2020 12:02 PM PST

    My beautiful people, I am not trying to be toxic but from a content creation perspective this can make a big difference. You can take an HD screenshot on your Xbox by opening the guide and pressing Y. You can then save the picture through the Xbox app directly to your phone. I'm just kind of sick of seeing people taking pictures of their TV that I have to squint to see.

    There's nothing like dumping over 120 rounds into an enemy only to have a teammate snag the kill, barely get enough end of the round ammo to survive the next wave, using a "modified lancer" that feels like a bedazzled peashooter, scraping by only with the chainsaw bayonet for the final 30 rounds, and constantly getting knocked on your ass because someone sneezed at you to make you really feel like a "living legend!"

    Rediscovering Gears of War after 10+ years. Gears 5 kicks ass!

    Posted: 14 Jan 2020 05:58 PM PST

    I played the original Gears of War back in 2006 and loved it. However I was always more of a PC gamer than a console gamer, so all I passed up all the subsequent Gears releases. I was looking around on Gamepass the other day and decided to load up Gears 5 to see where the series has gone. I have just been playing the campaign so far and this is the most fun I have had in a video game in a long time. I just got to the part where I unlocked the skif and I am not really jazzed about open world mechanics in this game, but I am keeping an open mind on that. And I haven't tried the multiplayer yet, but I hear it is monetized to death. Is that true?

    Regardless, the campaign is sick AF. And getting to play it on my new gaming rig with an RTX 2080 at 90+ fps 1440p on all ultra settings is siiiick. The original Gears of War on the Xbox 360 didn't have shit on this.

    [campaign spoilers] LMAO at “the choice”

    Posted: 14 Jan 2020 06:35 PM PST

    Seriously what the fuck were they going for? Was I supposed to get the least bit emotional over this? You can throw your knife to cut one of them free but can't just throw it at her fucking head?

    Literally why would you have to choose one of them in this situation? Why wouldn't she just use her free hand and kill the other person as well? God this was so unbelievably stupid and forced.

    It would've been more convincing if they were both hanging from a cliff and you had to pick one to grab. Give me back my Dom and Maria Gears. This shit is trash

    [Major Problem] Restrictions on Max party sizes in Gears 4 and Gears 5

    [Major Problem] Restrictions on Max party sizes in Gears 4 and Gears 5

    Major problem with matchmaking that started near end of Gears 4 Life cycle and has been in Gears 5 since Tech Test/Launch

    Hi everyone. I just want to make public/known of an issue that has been in Gears for a while now. This originally started back in Gears of war 4 - KOTH and then was applied to all other game modes. Basically TC has implemented some type of restriction on playing in MAX party sizes. I'm assuming they show the win percentages of people playing in stacks and realized it to be an issue so that they would restrict it. This really isn't a good idea and it also is not working properly. Let me explain.

    Before in Gears 4, I was able to make a party with 5 friends, queue for escalation - and almost instantly find a match. The rank didn't matter - we could all be diamond, we could all be onyx, no matter what we were always able to find a game. Sometimes we'd face another full party, sometimes we'd face mixed parties. Some time later into gears 4 life cycle - wait times began to increase... to the point where no match would be found ever. We then tried to queue with less players - party sizes of 2 and 3. Games seemed to be found again, we thought maybe the playerbase had decreased an insane amount - but.. then we had reports from other players both on console and PC with the same issues. They couldn't find games.

    So eventually we realized something was being blocked matchmaking wise - and gave up playing in full parties. Which in turn made people actually stop playing the game entirely. Now we move onto Gears 5 tech test. The tech test comes out and everyone is excited and on - we make a party of 5 and go into matchmaking.. and guess what..? We NEVER found a game. Lowered our party sizes to 2 and then we all found games almost immediately.

    So we did a test, we split up in discord with all players of the same rank into 2 groups of 5. We queue with the party leaders in the same region, same game mode, at the EXACT same time. We sat in queue for a total of 15 minutes before we gave up. Then we both dropped a player, so it was 2 groups of 4, we queue again - same game mode, same time. Guess what? We found a match in 4 seconds - and yes it was the other party. Thus confirming there is a restriction on 5 stacks. We write about it on reddit - no traction/ignored.

    Follow forward to gears 5 release and current build - same issue applies. We cannot find games in max party sizes. The max party size we're able to find a game in is 3 players with an average wait time of 5-25 minutes (depending on game mode, some modes - no matches ever) with 2 players the matches are found quick again.

    Now here's a big issue - it seems to be MAX party size.. so yes, this means.. 2v2 gnashers - can't find a game. As seen below this is the wait times for 2v2 gnashers. If I solo queue I get a game right away - if I queue with a friend we will NEVER find a match.

    So now that this is out in the open - we have to ask TC... if we can't play in a party of 5, why even allow us to make a party size of 5 players? Same for 2v2 gnashers.. I don't want to solo queue - and on top of it when I solo queue I CLEARLY face people in parties. So this has to do with a mixture of

    • Your individual skill rating - game mode rating seems to be irrelevant, the game seems to track your skill in the backend

    • Your platform - PC players will obviously have a harder time finding matches because people disable crossplay. However many console players including professional players have all reported the same issues with this restriction

    • The game mode being played, region, and time of day

    We know for a fact there are players online to make matches - we also know there's some type of strict matchmaking rules in the backend causing no matches to be found. These issue not only cause people to stop playing because they can't play with friends - they also cause lower populations in every game mode - something we're trying to avoid entirely.

    Extra note: I'm able to hop onto gears of war 4 and search 2v2 gnashers in a party and find matches instantly - even before the 'loose' matchmaking update - on gears 4 it seemed to only restrict searching in 5 stack - while in gears 5 in seems to restrict entirely on max party sizes.

    Hopefully this can gain some traction and everyone who also has this issue please post - even include screenshots. We've got to get this addressed because it's going to harm the game - and no. I'm not asking for 5 stacks to face solo queue players, I just know for a fact there would be other 4-5 stacks searching if we could find games. Again we tested this and could NOT run into each other while being in 2 groups of 5 players. That was proof enough for us.

    Insane Queue time when in max party sizes
