Everything that you have done to fix the glitches is great! The new game mode will add yet another option to the game and is well done! The ONLY problem that I noticed is the cover system. It is very sensitive and makes it extremely difficult to navigate the maps. That is the only problem with the new patch... ..and to only have one small problem after all you have tweaked is a job well done!!

PLEASE just make the cover system the way it was, if possible, then the game would be PERFECT!

Ive not played gears since the update so i'm not going to pass comment on how good/bad it is, however...

..Ive been using these forums for ages and ive heard barely a whisper of a complaint about the cover system before, except for LOL's and LMAO's with stories about trying to run away from danger. So, why decide to change it? it seems really weird that they would just randomly decide to fix something that didnt really need fixing.

Maybe it was an 'epic office only' complaint between staff because they find it hard to play their own game? :D

Well even though it is an amazing cover system you have to take the good with the bad the good is you can get to quick cover when you need to which is a,lot but the bad is you often get behind cover when your not trying to as well. They were trying to minimize this problem in the new patch but i didn't play too much today so i don't know if they were successful or not.

Nah, I get stuck on all kinds of stuff now. It's really starting to turn me off on the game. Maybe make a "new/old rodie run" option in the controls?

Yeah, the cover system has been messed up a bit. I remember before the update you could hug the wall on Gridlock near spawn between the destroyed cars. Now you cant be anywhere near the wall without coming out of your roadie run. It make spawning in Annex even worse on Gridlock.

Yes I have to agree I have brushed against objects and stuckl to them. EXP. The curved wall comming out of the spawn in Gridlock. I know this was something you were trying to fix but it seems that you went the wrong way with it. Other wise great job guys and gals. Annex is a blast. O I also noticed a glitch a guy was doing (on purpose or not I dont know) but it looked like the crab run but he was not running he was walking. His head was turned behind him and he was shooting backwards.

I agree, EPIC change the roadie run, the way it was before the update! It is way to sensitive! Why did they feel they even had to change it, they did say better roadie run controlling, I think they wnet the wrong way with it!

Occasionally getting stuck while in a panic, I mean, while stylishly retreating, has always been a bit of a problem.. I'm sure it was probably tried by the Epic staff before being released but an option to change the run/snap to cover buttons to;

A - hold to run, single tap to jump, double tap to snap to cover.
...or simply, No Auto-Snap

I think this would help somewhat.. but like I say, could have already been tried and deemed lame/unworkable. I can imagine people diving when trying to snap on etc.. but then that cant be worse than it is now! lol :p

I agree, i DEFINITLEY noticed a change in the cover system. I'm getting sucked into walls like i get sucked into a chainsaw, hahaha. Still, I had a lot of fun playing annex last night. :D

Put in the "new/old" option under controls and problem solved for all.
