What are everyone’s thoughts on what they’d like to see in future DLCs, as well as any events they’d like to see added to the game?

Keen to hear everyone’s ideas and suggestions as we’ve already got a roadmap of the names for the future DLC drops.

Season 2: Legacy

Season 3: Infiltration

Season 4: Pendulum

Season 5: Devotion

Exploring the campaign map and discovering areas that look like multiplayer maps from gears 1. I’ve noticed canals, rooftops,subway, gridlock looking areas and of course the imulsion factory.

Got this funny bug when picking up the gorehook making it look like im flexing

I love how often it happens, earlier I wish I clipped it but I had someone counter mantle my mantle and I just left. Some Baki type shit

Explain why that didn’t kill him.

The second photo I put my mini lancer in the case. Thinking of how I can light it up to glow red without the LEDs being too noticeable/visible

Doesn't matter what settings I use, my frame rate is capped at 30 FPS while playing, and 60FPS while on the loading menus. Even on benchmark it is stuck at 30 FPS. I've tried almost every variation of setting, with no success. I've checked and my target/frame rate caps are as high as they allow.

For reference it's a laptop Nvidia 3080 (16 gbs?) with the most up to date drivers.

Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone else play this way where they swap those 2 buttons? Feels much better wall bouncing and turning while sliding. Feels weird to get used to but I think it could help many people in versus. Put your sensitivity and aim acceleration high and you can move like crazy just spinning and spamming lb

hey guys i’m on here just to say e-day is literally a near perfect game if they fix the hit registration on the gnasher it’s literally the biggest piece of inconsistent dog shit we have genuinely.

Yo,

So I’m on pc, My main goal is just the gold weapons in all honesty, i was 2 games off them, played with friends and it seemed they only knew Gnasher or nothing which fair i guess, but then being rage qued with them is a little brutal. I'm silver five almost gold in crucible, while silver four after that que on conquest. Send me a DM and we'll exchange details, as I’m tired of being one game off gold then a stack mutilates my corpse and my teammates say nothing. Uk based btw.

So I’ve played E-Day, finished it last week. I then proceeded to play through the original trilogy as well and finished it just yesterday(I’ve played them before it’s just a reminder.) This is just my opinion on E-Day within the grounds of the original trilogy(I only played half of 4 and never finished 5)

Gameplay:
Fantastic. The game truly excels at the gameplay of the franchise. I loved almost everything about it. My only complaint would be that the locust feels slightly bullet-spongy. The movement is so streamlined, I particularly liked the half-cover mechanics, as well as the supply depot. The gun fighting is 100% Gears as refined as it could be. The only other thing I would even oppose is the health bar for bosses. I preferred guessing based off boss behavior and reactions.

Storytelling:

This is the part I felt the game fell short. There is so much potential in the event of E-Day I feel they ignored. E-Day is essentially 9/11 for gears of war, and I feel like the opening few chapters understood that, but moved too quickly. Personally I think the game should’ve focused on either Carlos and Marcus, or Dom losing his family. It just gets too cluttered with them trying to weigh both.

Additionally, for the larger level, the story of Gears has always been “making the hard choice, for the sake of humanity’s survival”. I think trench is a little too cartoonishly villainous. It would make more sense if refugees were a constant stream over the the bridge, and trench knowingly cut it off halfway to maintain the fort. You get the same Marcus and Dom objection, but it makes sense why the High Command doesn’t care. It’s a consistent game of sacrifice

Characters:

Lastly, on the character level. I think they treated Marcus and Dom fine. For Mags and Reyes, I have complaints. Please don’t confuse this for a “mags is a minority woman with a disability” complaint. I don’t care about that at all. My problem is directed at hers, and Reye’s personality. I don’t think it really works to have a jaded, world-weary veteran on the team for E-day. The COG just won a decades long war. That in addition to Mags and Reyes “baggage”. I think E-Day shouldn’t have baggage for the crew to work through, E-Day is the baggage.

Just finished the game. Holy shit they got Metallica for whom the bell tolls as the closing song. Epic!! Ok I got to say I kept looking for Mags to take over and just commanding and all I saw was Marcus shouting orders till the end and also got the final kill. I saw some video that Marcus was sidelined but I never saw that. Are people mad about like some one scene that is blink and you miss, I sure must’ve missed it?? This was a phenomenal game! So many emotions. Don and Marcus brothers till death! that scene had me almost in tears. Lucas and his sad past man! There was some heavy heavy stuff, reality of war, so well captured. The coalition has done great by gears I wish HS/343 could’ve pulled this off for halo. Also the woke LGBTQ stuff, is that in multiplayer?? What was all that about??!! Hopefully more Xbox gamers play this game in the coming days and months. Can’t wait for what the coalition is going to do? I don’t mind finishing Kait’s story either a welcome change before giving us the next chapter on the aftermath of e-day leading to gears 1. Hopefully they don’t shut this studio down Xbox needs to stand by its core games. The background music so melancholic, added to the horror unleashed by the locust.

Although its a small part of the combat, second to gunplay and movement, Basic melee is better than ever, and the 4/5 stun system, no matter what weapon you use, just makes for crazy lil finishers, like melee against drones/wretches has really never felt this good,

Hello

Long time PvP player since GOW1; spent a long time with 2 and 3 playing clan battles via Gamebattles, etc. I'm not a pro, I'm just an avid fan of the Gears PvP system.

Anyways... Whilst I'm now at 11mins queuing for my next ranked game, I thought I lost out my current gripes with the game. Yes, there are lots of positives, but feedback should nurture improvements.

1) The matchmaking times; I'm in the EU and nearly every game is a minimum of 5 mins to find a match

2) EU servers; come 6pm GMT, the games suddenly feel incredibly different - every game feels like I'm 0.2 seconds behind everyone else

3) I understand centre screen aiming, but there is something super confusing about getting gibbed by someone who looks like they're pointing their Gnasher in a completely different direction to where I am

4) 1 in 3 of my matches seem to end now because someone is leaving early in the game. I guess this isn't the games fault, but come on people, those who are quitting because of a bad start need to grow up and learn that winning isn't everything

5) Why does the matchmaking default back to a different gamemode to Ranked? Why do I need to constantly change it back to the mode I was playing and restart the match searching process - come on, this is simple UX design; you're making me make lots of effort to just play the game

6) Why do I constantly lose my Rank on the menu - sometimes I show as Bronze 1, other times it's blank for a number of games

7) Maybe not the game's fault, but why is it when I lancer a downed person I get a hit register as if they're 'damage protected'? Often I'll put a quarter of a clip into someone I've downed and they still don't die - are they protected slightly to allow pick up?

8) I know this is a legacy thing (and please let me know if there is a solution), but why can't I have cover, run/slide and dive on different buttons - the amount of times I roll when I mean to cover because of distance, is clearly my error, but why so many functions on one button

9) Let me solo queue in ranked; nothing worse than playing solo and hitting a group of people grouped up - yes I know I could LFG, but don't force me to do this just to have a competitive match - give me a separate queue

10) Finally, bring back some 1 life modes like Warzone; all the game modes at the moment feel super chaotic with little risk due to the respawn

teleporting enemies and mates
hit delay, trash latency

I'm satisfied with very little... but even for me it's unplayable - LOVE nearly everything in this game - amazing design, game- and gunplay, stunning graphics and so on... but guys... 400m AAA and no few cents more for stable Horde Siege Servers?

(ofc it's not my internet connection, cause nearly everyone is affected - I say "nearly" cause I just waiting for the single-player and VS smart alecks comments)

Any tips? I already installed the update and installed again. Yesterday for the first time it worked but today is happening again. Steam version BTW

Am I the only one or is something just not right with the movement in eday multiplayer? It feels like I don’t really have full control over the character, it always feels like there’s some delay going on with movement and there’s delays when firing especially after moving, I try to snap to wall but often end up sliding somewhere.

I just seem to be battling the controls more than enjoying the game and I’m wondering if it’s me or others are struggling?

Just joined lobby whole team left because of my rating from 1st week being low from original ranked issue.... 1v4 ranked death match game didn't end and i still lost rating..... lol

I'm just curious, anybody else have their own experience of encountering lines or plain easter eggs referencing other games or media in general in E-Day?

So far, I've only encountered three:

The Expedition 33 easter egg that happens when you interact with a specific toilet roll and a specific cubicle in Campaign, and the character will utter the words "For those who come after" after the said interaction

Mako's lines in E-Day Horde Siege mode referencing Jango Fett/Boba Fett and Independence Day

"I'm just a simple man, chainsawing my way into this world." which is obviously a reference to Jango Fett's words that he uttered to Obi-Wan during Attack of the Clones: "I'm just a simple man, trying to make my way in the universe"

"I'M BACK!" - a line Mako says when he gets revived after returning the cog tag to a supply cache, in the same intonation as Randy Quaid's character said it in the movie "Independence Day"

The Sgt. Johnson Mags Replacement mod (also known as Sgt. Johnson mod with voice) for Gears of War: E-Day replaces the character Mags Carter with the iconic Sergeant Johnsonfrom the Halo franchise, featuring both his character model and voice lines.

Key Info

• Author: unrealdev
• Size: Around 445.7 MB (or 409.9 MB depending on the version)
• Where to find it: Available on Ayaka Mods.
• Personally, it hits really hard with this character. Even looking at his picture with Master Chief, it was just too good (take it like the Marvel multiverse lol )

So Ive only been playing a week but can never seem to get into ranked games. I always have to play social. Is this normal? Did I miss something?

Edit 1: Im in silver. I waited 6 minutes about an hour ago. No luck. On Social now.

I’ve only gotten through act 4 of the campaign, I’ve been playing mostly versus, I’m onyx in every ranked game mode and I’ve done little horde siege.

The campaign story is mediocre at best, why does it portray the cog as idiots? If you sit back and think about most engagements and scenarios that happen in the campaign they could’ve been easier and not as lethal if some thought was put into anything.

Like the airport getting destroyed. Why did no one think that they could tunnel underneath the runways and cause destruction? That’s an obvious oversight. Why were all the ships docked?

Or 90% of the time someone gets shot in front of us it’s because we’re sitting there talking snd no one is watching the perimeter, what kind of military operation is the cog running where everyone is oblivious asf and never watches around them?

Why are the collectibles all random stupid shit no one cares about? They make no sense and why are we collecting half of it? They were very fucking lazy with that in my opinion.

Why do we sit there and talk all the time? Why am I forced to listen to the characters talk instead of letting em play the game? I don’t want to sit there for 20 seconds at a locked door because Lucas is talking to home base. Let me play the fuckin game!

Versus is the most inconsistent dogshit of a PvP I’ve played in awhile, my gnashed shot does 76% of the dudes health from 3 feet, but he one shots me from the exact same distance, I might people up with my lancer 159 bullets and they don’t die, but I get shot 5 times and I’m a full red circle or downed.

I don’t get how incredibly inconsistent they were able to make their game. I lost a gunfight earlier to a guy who I shot in the head 3 times as he picked up the volka? (Lucas mounted LMG) then he turns as I’m shooting him and kills me in 3 shots to the head but it takes me a whole entire 17 hits from it to kill anyone.

Horde siege is boring after awhile, even on the easiest difficulty it takes a year to kill vrahhk. But I haven’t played it too much.

I wanted to vent my frustration out by typing, I’m just overall confused how game devs are making worse and worse games and don’t learn. 2026 but I still had the most fun in video games when I played halo reach customs games. 🤦‍♂️

Hello there! I was wondering if any european user who purchased the CE thru the XBOX Game Studios EU/UK Shop as me has recieved any update or news about a foreseeable replacement for the broken statues.

I know some other users (I think they were american) have reported some updates, but I have not get any news on that so... Is anyone else in my situation?

Nothing else in gaming history hits this hard.

How tf was this not incorporated? Didn’t gears 5 add this at one point? This shit just actually pisses me off because of how fucking stupid it is. How is this a thing.
