Lancering for you since '06. Leave the ego in the fucking main menu.

E-Day PvP has potential, but currently is in a bad place. Here are issues I would like to see improved before launch. Excludes control scheme issues
(Tip: Play Modern for all controller people and lower inner deadzones to .05 )

Camera
1. Camera movements when doing actions should be removed. There is too much zooming in + out and shaking going on. Causes the camera to go into walls or "detach" from the character at times. The camera shouldn't move this much in PvP (especially with no FOV slider).

2. Sprint Camera sensitivity "decrease" feels horrible. Sprinting shouldn't lower my sensitivity from 24 to 5 because I am sprinting. My sensitivity should be my sensitivity for my camera at all times. The character being stiff during sprint is still fine.

Shooting/Movement
1. Aim assist is OP (even on Default). Specifically notice Magnetism on the Gnasher + Incinerator and Adhesion on rifles being higher than they should.

2. Up-A animation is slightly too fast. Wouldn't want this hard nerfed, but should be taken a notch down.

3. Slide needs a nerf. Sliding is by far one of the corniest things to die to. Especially with how the gnasher currently works. Would like to see the distance you can slide reduced OR reduce the startup speed on the animation. Maybe both

4. Stopping power should not be in this game. It has never felt good and will never feel good imo. Especially in a game like this where momentum plays a big factor in movement feeling okay.

5. Strafing speed while walking needs a buff. Current walking speed is too slow to be useable during gnasher fights.

6. Speed while moving on cover is extremely slow. Makes cover fights feel bad when there is no dodge ability while on cover. Fix: Allow players to run on cover or increase the base speed to pretty much be at a running speed when on cover.

Weapons
1. Retro Lancer and Incinerator both need nerfs. Incinerator is likely okay with an ammo nerf ( 6-> 3). Retro damage nerf is needed asap.

2. These might be the worst gnasher fights I have experienced in any Gears game. 99% of fights are done within 1-2 shots and are mainly chunk fights. Slide and Up A animation nerfs would help this issue, but the Gnasher also needs a rework. The chunk range and magnetism both need nerfs. Damage dropoff needs to be re-adjusted to have healthier and longer fights. Increase poke/ranged damage and reduce short range damage slightly.

Other
1. Spawns and Wave Respawn systems are both bugged. Almost every death is a long spawn (12 seconds) and causes for the flow of the game to feel horrible. Not sure why the Wave Respawn System returned, but individual respawns are the improvement here. Consistency and less BS.

2. Why is there a vulcan/Troika on the map lmao. There shouldn't be anything like this on a Ranked map. Leave all of that in social

3. With only 5 ranks, nobody should get placed higher than Gold in Ranked. Getting placed in Onyx is too high (I got placed Onyx 1).

If you made it this far, then I appreciate you. Not posting this to "complain" even though I know that's how people will take it. Would like to see this game survive for more than a month post launch.

Some will engage in certain debates with certain opponents under certain conditions - they'll pick and choose their battles. But none would show up to an overwhelmingly Conservative forum and say "Here's my worldview - if you disagree with me, come to the front of the queue and let's hash it out." They'd simply never do it.

[Ben Scallan 🇮🇪 @Ben_Scallan]

Note: there's not one prominent Leftist anywhere in the West doing what Charlie Kirk did, i.e. issuing an open debate challenge to all comers and saying "Here's my view, I invite you to try and prove me wrong". None of them are willing to subject their views to that scrutiny.

Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union. Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it.

@BowTiedPassport I assume most think I’m American, which is a shame…

I shave my head 🪒 and have the whitest legs you’ve ever seen. They can see me coming from 10 miles away.

I make sure to swiftly remind them I’m not your typical gringo. Irish are built different ☘️

Someone needs to write a serious study on how video game fandom got taken over by people infected with the woke mind virus and people who hate Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Pretty much every gaming publication, all of Reddit and even a number of YouTubers who cover these games are completely infected with this pro-trans LGBTQIAQAPPP+, anti-Elon, anti-Russia derangement syndrome. You can’t go to any gaming community during Pride Month that doesn’t have some weirdo moderator or actual company community manager who isn’t pushing this insanity onto everybody else.

I’m seriously considering just starting a gaming news page here on X without any of the BS or politics as a side project.

@ChaseIsSavage @icy Icy 100% a real one…

I chatted to him at a San Diego event briefly and he was such a genuine guy IRL too.

The very second we met, he asked me straight away for my name. I instantly knew he was cool.
