It's 2026 and People Are Arguing Over Sweaty Gears of War Movement Again
Gears of War: E-Day movement in the spotlight as fans debate sweaty gameplay.
It's 2026 and gamers are once again arguing over the movement mechanics in Gears of War. The issue resurfaced during the open beta for the game's E-Day event, prompting 20-year-old debates from the Xbox 360 era to flare up once more on current generation consoles. Players are expressing concerns and disbelief about the fast-paced movement style, which involves wall bouncing and canceling, used to quickly dart between cover and make themselves difficult to target.
Creative director Matt Searcy admitted that the wall bouncing technique used in the past won't be exactly replicated in E-Day but stated they found a balance for how it feels. Professional esports player Nate "Rocky" Arroyo showcased a clip of his movement in the beta, which has sparked a heated debate among players about whether this fast movement style is the right way to play Gears PvP.
Some players have expressed their dislike for this style and have threatened to stop playing multiplayer altogether. Despite The Coalition's efforts, this fast movement style is still present in E-Day, and some fans have pointed out that coping with it is a long-running part of the Gears PvP experience.
