Something Weird is Happening in Gears of War...

[@juliangarza1707]

Tbh my theory is once gears e-day trailer came out a lot of people started playing gears again and now the servers can’t handle how many people hopped onto gears.

[@malikelliott8652]

Nope ping has been high a lil over a week

[@goneson999]

It's exactly what it is ... your right

[@justApigeon.]

I was on at 3 am on 200 ping lol

[@shaydesofblue2281]

​@@malikelliott8652 yea, I've been getting 50-110 ping now. Usually, it's 1-7. But I'm a horde player. Probably why

[@dbank6107]

I got a fact..Gears 5 is garbage 👍

[@XJ9LoL]

server overflow of players probably due to the game announcement. idk lol

[@RedIcy]

I don't think so tbh

[@ShawtyMadKid]

@@RedIcyI do! Been seeing a lot of low levels recently and the servers been laggy since

[@devonpeterson1769]

Icy …. Gears vet here lol ….. i was watching u and sumuns the other night …. The podcast type maybe once a week might grow ya channel …. And i mean real high level real gears talk …. Too many new folks to the franchise with opinions that are half truths cause they havent been there from day 1 ….. i liked /loved the idea ……

[@heckin.hunter]

VERY solid idea

[@ninjanunch27]

Day one here too love it bro high level GOW talk

[@Mmachine88]

Lol like moistcritical ?? He was there day1, but he's one of those Gears1 only guys which imo is kinda annoying. I'm a day1.5 I suppose...played gears 1 when it was out but got heavy into gears pvp during gears 2

[@ninjanunch27]

@@Mmachine88 Icy and Sumuns were pros tho big difference

[@Mmachine88]

@ninjanunch2769 that's actually totally fair haha

[@Maquiavelic-x1]

Gears E-Day trailer made people revisit gears so glad gears fam is growing, I was the sk on training grounds btw lol

[@gregwilliams8933]

Ping is also triple digits in custom private lobbies as well. I kept resetting my router thinking it was my internet.

[@ninjanunch27]

Its nice they have a setting where you can pick lower ping lobbies or faster match making. I think the crazy ping is everyone hopping back on because of the announcement. Also ideas to grow the channel maybe a GOW podcast talking all things Gears. High level Gears talk from a champion at the game. I think the day ones would like that and would be dope for new fans just discovering Gears.

[@copeboi7714]

I’ve noticed the same thing during the development of other games for other franchises. They could be using multiple servers just for eday and funneling everyone to the west coast. Ping is the time it takes for your network to connect to the server. If you have consistent internet speeds on your end you can know exactly what server you’re playing on simply based off ping. I almost never connect to my closest server. Maybe 1 out of 15 games

[@imaliastv4125]

I really like when you explain your thinking on positioning and map control. More of that would be cool. More challenge videos too Playing with other pros on ranked ?

[@sneakkyz3696]

They are probably using u.s. servers to test the new game and putting a lot of people on overseas servers if the few u.s. ones are already full.

[@yusefmisallati3906]

I've had a problem with finishing a ranked game and trying to start another but it keeps me in the last games lobby I literally have to wait for the creating lobby to pop up and then have to back out then join again to get into a lobbly

[@jmoorenyc7382]

Gears of War 3 Servers are packed!

[@Onyx1776]

I have a series x but i really wish 2 and 3 were on PC :(

[@ElGuapo408_]

@@Onyx1776I have a series X too and try to play gears 3 on it buts it’s laggy and it’s glitchy ASF. Idk if it’s because I’m on the newest Xbox and it doesn’t run very well on it or if I to have to go back down to the 360 so it plays better. Because when I was playing gears 3 ten years ago I don’t remember it being this laggy, I mean holy fuck!! 🤣🤣

[@Mmachine88]

Man do I want a gears 1-3 c9llection like MCC. Image every map in one collection of Playlists. I know people would expect it look like whatever gears e-day will be... but honestly just looking like gears 4 or 5 would be good enough

[@FlexyXftw]

Tbh I really hope it’s not much longer till Eday drops we the community deserve a new game this year

[@jaysandhu8080]

2026 i reckon

[@D1Kwazy]

2026 at max

[@millymusic_]

Seeing more wagers or elos would be awesome, always dope seeing/hearing the in game voices and trash talk

[@TigerDrop787]

Man I feel your pain during that last game the way your team is barely in the lead and none of your teammates play the hill at all they just roam around the entire game while you’re sitting there trying to do obj all by yourself

[@rando8831]

A video of you just talking about gears or anything would be dope. The podcast idea is solid too

[@jonnyboz]

Omg! I’m from the UK and the past few nights I’ve been on Gears my ping has been higher than ever like 200-300! Never been on ping like that before I’m normally below 10! Had to restart my Xbox numerous times to bring my ping down!

[@ahmedhussxin]

literally same it’s annoying me now

[@imaliastv4125]

Cause of where I live (rural) I’m on 170-220 allll the time. So annoying. Wonder how good I could actually be 😂

[@jonnyboz]

@@imaliastv4125 I feel for you that can’t be good playing on that all the time 😅

[@imaliastv4125]

@@jonnyboz I’m just still wondering how my controller isn’t attached to the wall 😡

[@CreampieZay]

I think a gears 1-3 run before E-Day or right before the release would be cool. A walk through memory lane with how you felt playing during those times playing in the prime. Possibly play with viewers? Idk how the old games work tho, been a while.

[@enmanuelvega8419]

Icy why your wall bouncing do you hold down the LT button so you get the shot off quicker and I noticed when you bounce with LT it feels like you have a little more control because you move slower and you can get a more accurate shot or do you just bounce and then press LT when you're about to shoot

[@Jussomebread]

@6:03 “oh okay” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@michaelgrimm8564]

A Gears of war podcast would be dope!!!

[@ahmedhussxin]

this has been happening to me in quickplay, 150+ ping every match no matter what. also, in competitive my ping goes from 300-500 all the time

[@jaredadams620]

I like how you mix up the playstyle with the sniper. You can watch 100x Gears vids and they'll all be 80% cover dance, shotgun with the other 20% being special weapons/grenades. I hope the new gears divvy's up the maps and weapons to make the Magnum/DMR and other weapons more viable. (More like Halo?)

[@iLoveKhrisMiddleton]

yo really random question for anyone who plays gears 5, anyone know what re-up the team ice gnasher is?

[@uistepbro]

Maybe try to host like buy in tournaments where the prize pool depends on the amount that is bought in

[@GianCarloPattani]

The Lag is good for Gears of War. It added to it in some weird way. Like the delay gave delayed gratification, surprise, and hope with every action.

[@SUAV-A]

I think you should react to other streamers game play. Maybe share some knowledge on strategies and mistakes.

[@warking4187]

Love the vids man, keep em coming!

[@mikeyp4690]

More than likely that player counts have spiked. Servers will be scalable and if the high player counts persist they'll probably justify the cost of more capacity.

[@dcutlass442]

Look up DNS settings change your server to Google servers and you can always set it back to automatic if it doesn't give you a better ping

[@dadhx8]

My guess is that the NA servers were all down yesterday, and everyone was on the EU servers. The pings everyone had aligned with that @12:58. Why were the NA servers down? E-day load testing, perhaps????

[@keithnicholson1852]

Yea happened to me today it was terrible. I only had 2 game with ping under 50 out of 8 games

[@Kocaine4600]

I just hope E-Day makes weapon drops more skill based (their use in games are too cheesy). Or they take off tdm. New gears players camp too much.

[@deejayy8303]

Facts!!! Like I feel so stupid trying to go out and look for people. They hide, mark you, and camp lol bunch of scary asses

[@ichito2316]

Im getting servers where mostly everyone has between 10-50 ping and still lagging crazy

[@BUCKTICKLER]

I agree with icy on this matter. I generally have low ping and lose those matches to players with higher ping. Not sure why I don’t get that low ping effect. But it seems I get chunked 90 percent of the time in shotgun battles and when I have higher ping in the 25-50 area I’m on equal playing ground. Anything higher than that I just get ready for anything.

[@Fildore]

I was playing last night and had a crazy lag I've never seen before. Was getting me more bodied than usual.

[@richardcalvo8217]

jus bought gears 5 after not playing it since its beta i think, i didnt like how the gunplay felt when it first came out but i heard it was just a bad launch. Eday got me geeking out so jus got ultimate edition gears 5 for 15 bucks on steam and im hype. Jus hope the game isnt dead

[@canflict6018]

Bro i was playing a custom yesterday and the server froze and then all the ping spiked up

[@ponchozanitsch439]

Bruh this just happened to me today it got irritated asf😭

[@taylorbond6071]

I’m still holding out for a remastered collection maybe they will drop it like they did with ultimate edition before gears five

[@adammcginnis5390]

You should try to host a KZbin/twitch content creator tournament. Maybe 4v4 or 3v3 tournament with just KZbin creators if you can get the others on board.

[@imaliastv4125]

I really like when you explain your thinking on positioning and map control. More of that would be cool. More challenge videos too Playing with other pros on ranked Play ranked with fans that Follow you?

[@MetaITurtle]

Can you make a video on different angles and spots on maps that will help us in PVE. Ive noticed some players shooting me in spots i never knew you could shoot from

[@crxssv2316]

TC is for sure using the gow 5 servers for testing on a new game, and when they do it there’s no MMR lol I think it’s pretty odd how they don’t make an announcement about it but it gives me hope that we’re getting a multiplayer beta of some sort soon.

[@DomEverythingEZ]

It’s been like that for years 4 also

[@lMoNsTiRl]

I assume Gears 5 is no longer on any servers, there's a host now. usually one person has it slightly better. with more people hopping on now tho im sure it isnt helping either way.

[@mauronplayas12]

quick video idea. Reacting to montages from back then

[@vokuhila6913]

it happened to me my first match on but i left and got a match with normal ping

[@jacobdelgado5733]

What carmine is that is he still available in the store ?

[@RedIcy]

Clayton and I think but I'm not sure

[@leslyeharrington3044]

It really could be a server up overload with ti many people on it due to the hype of e-day or they really could be testing something most of the time it’s to many people on the servers also try something different maybe a walkthrough of some of the campaigns with a friend and see how it goes it doesn’t hurt to trying something different also not sure if you do this but you could host games with fans and record it to see what team wins

[@Infibulate]

You should host viewer tourneys and stream them like collect certain players in the com and vs them together

[@jordanhuron2366]

what if you did a 4v4 4 controller pros vs 4 mnk gods ? could be best of 3 control , tdm then execution?

[@RedIcy]

We're getting destroyed trust me. There were multiple tournaments back in this games prime for $ and MnK was allowed. We got sent to the shadow realm..

Gears 4 it’s been wild too

[@Fujiwaramoguu]

Ooh man I wasn't tripping then. I don't kind of they update Gears 5 to keep us for Gears Eday. It's only 5 years old, any update is a good update. For a second there I thought I was matched with sweaty Mexicans region in SSG LMAO

[@goneson999]

Crazy to say all my years from loving cod and never playing a gears mp match, gears of war is better and by far more balanced .. cant wait to see how gears 6 does

That's exactly why I don't run stacked man. Thanks for the comment!

[@Bobthe0strich]

Damn the servers are acting up on Gears 5?? Looks like everyone has to go play GoW 2 and UE now I guess. Bummer……. 😏

[@Pack52022]

Truly i hope gears 6 finds a way to bring in new people without making the game like gears 5 is i recommend gears 6 find a balance between how gears 2 and 3s movement is. where if you an og since gears one insane wallbouncing isnt a necessity or bother but rather it supports both wallbouncers and the more methotical gears 1/2 style where aim, strafing and rodie strafing kinda matters more than wallbouncing. Though i also dont mind them have a mode like how gears 5 had at one point where its a gears 1 style mode where you cant cancel your wall animation i personally enjoyed that too. Another thing is i hope gears 6 introduces something like if you like marcus and the locust grenadier for examples you can switch armor pieces or earn pieces like how in gear 5 hitting the final rank gives you a character and overall i did enjoy the choices in executions for gears 5 but i didnt like the bloodsprays at all and finally bring back the gears 2/3 type of gore

[@juliangarza1707]

[@Markee.50]

connections been dog ass cheeks on gears 5 its pisisng me off used too have 20-40 ping now its a lag warfare
