The Gears of War Reloaded Beta has slammed shut, so it's time to reflect, and I've got a full verdict on my gameplay impressions from weekend 2, and the beta as a whole. What worked, what didn't, all my thoughts and feelings. Is the old charm of Gears back, or is some tuning required, plus what I'm thinking as we look ahead to the launch of the game in August.00:00 - Intro & weekend 1 recap02:25 - Buzz for weekend 203:30 - Stability / lobbies05:11 - King of the Hill thoughts07:34 - Maps08:47 - Hit registration13:13 - Matchmaking balancing16:00 - Final verdict (pros/cons)18:50 - Looking to launchFollow us and join the Gears fam conversation onTwitter / X: https://x.com/Gears_IntelWe are also on Blue Sky:https://bsky.app/profile/gearsintel.bsky.socialand TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gearsintel
