HelloCraigo

@Fiendish-Beaver psst https://www.gearsofwar.com/en-us/news/multiplayer/

@Fiendish-Beaver just a bit rushed of my feet is all!

@Fiendish-Beaver I'll have some more answers for you soon!

@Fiendish-Beaver
1. Three teams of four
2. Each team has a dedicated extraction chopper
3. I experienced 10 waves
4. Bosses are random. You can drop in and immediately be warned of one, or not fight one at all if you're quick to complete your objectives
5. They do indeed!
6. Marksman, Breacher, Assault, and Medic
7. You can set up defenses yes. Not as thorough though
8. New enemies like an acid-spitting frog locust, a big floating gas blob in the sky, different big locust chaps, and Juvies did show up.
9. You can spend energy on squad upgrades, and unlock armour and weapon upgrades.
10. There are bots in siege yep.

Glad you asked, I wanted to give you a general overview and will get into all the nitty gritties at launch! Things can change from the preview build, but hopefully that answers most of your Qs

@Halofan22 providing a code doesn’t affect our opinions at all. I just vibed with the game, and as soon as I could, I bought a physical copy too - 10/10 bby

@Jenkinss *kicks stone solemnly

@shoeses good spot! Will get it added

@Fiendish-Beaver no stupid questions here

@SyracuseSalt I believe most games booted through the Ubisoft Connect App on PC typically don't have achievements.

@Altaria_97 Console versions to PC, not the other way, I'm afraid.

@Fiendish-Beaver Yep, through the Ubisoft Connect launcher on PC

@awp69 you have access to physical grass? Lucky sod 😅

@Grumblevolcano thanks for the catch, updated!

@m0m0 no official word as far as I know. This was the first real indicator

@Mr-Cage there's a skull you can find that swaps perspective when enabled

^ Truth. Plus it's all about looking good for your friends isn't it?

@Jenkinss hahahahah yes!

@Mr-Cage I keep feeling that call to metals and gears too

@Fiendish-Beaver I'm no tech head either. When it comes to XCOM 2 modding it's super easy to achieve using Steam Workshop. You literally just subscribe to the mods and activate 'em. Some work, some don't, but It's good stuff!

@Fiendish-Beaver I don't think it'll happen. Halo Wars is the closest thing to Halo Tactics. What I've done is modded XCOM 2 with a bunch of Halo mods and it's genuinely immersive. Flood, Sgt Johnson, Captain Keyes, Master Chief, Spartans, and ODST. So good.

Are you a light theme enjoyer? I never knew @FraserG

@Elbow it’s got something about it, but I can’t recommend it on console right now. It’s okay on PC but maybe after a patch or two 😊

@Banjo- 🤭

Halo Combat Evolved started it all for me. Love me some Reach, ODS-heck why am I listing? I love them all, Halo 5 multiplayer is solid, and even Halo 4 features a slapping soundtrack.

@Stoneceltic I’ve got it on PS5 and Steam, and yet I’m tempted to get it again on Xbox

@Mr-Cage Clan tags, now those were the days. I used to be a part of the "Manx" clan, celebrating all things Isle of Man as we popped locust grubs 😅

@TrevorP86 giving spider-man pointing meme

@FraserG we're going to have to do some home testing, huh?

@oopsiezz There's definitely something in this game. I still have an urge to play it even though it's rough and in desperate need of some patches. Hope you have fun with it!

(If you play controller, turn off smoothing - you'll thank me later)

@orangejuiceagain Xbox fans have to find the fun in 2026, hey? Thank you!

@Dodoo peep the sub

Oh @Dodoo let me pay your fare, that is sublime.

@Banjo- there's a lot of doom and gloom, but still plenty of nice things too!

@Krzzystuff *approving slow clap

@Coletrain very kind of you!

Call me a dinosaur, but I really hope we don't lose physical media. Really hard to see Xbox going in favour of retaining discs, but here's hoping! What will I take flat-lay pictures of if everything is digital @FraserG ?! What will I do!?

@themightyant might have to play it while I can

@Markatron84 Haha no sleeper cells here. My keyboard doesn't have a | key 😂

@Scummbuddy *bows

@ILuvGames to my knowledge there's no official word as of yet

@Elbow I remember blowing into my Nintendo 64 cartridge of Turok. Game was epic back in the day, fingers crossed for the new one!

Cheers @Elbow that's kind of you to mention. Yeah, Fraser has been taking a much deserved break this week, but he'll be back tomorrow 😊

@Elbow happy to facilitate a chuckle with your news 😊

@Elbow YES! Preach loud and proud! Bring Blinx Back!

@BethesdaBoyz the E-Day Direct has gotten me in the mood to do a series replay!

@somnambulance thanks dude! It's really nice to be back

You know a guy saw this and said "hell yeah".

I'm that guy.

@orangejuiceagain you've only gone and made my day. Happy to be back!

@FraserG I'm stoked for the World Rally games and Motor Mash. Anything to capture the essence of those old-school racing games from my yoooouth

@Kezelpaso It's sooooo good! Thanks for including me in the roundup
