Gears of War Reloaded Beta Was a Fiasco

The open beta process, which was eagerly awaited by Gears of War Reloaded fans, unfortunately did not start as expected. In the cross-platform test that brought Xbox and PlayStation users together, connection problems and technical glitches made it very difficult for players to access the game. The community is expressing their reactions on social media in the face of this situation.

Gears of War Reloaded Beta Upsets Players

In threads opened on Reddit, many players shared that they could not connect to the game with their friends due to server problems. Some users even humorously changed the name of the game to Gears of War: Loading, referring to the length of the waiting screen. This comment revealed the extent of the problems experienced.

The problems were not limited to connectivity. Some players who purchased the original Gears of War: Ultimate Edition have still not received their free upgrade codes that would have given them access to the Reloaded beta. This has left many people completely out of the beta process.

Despite this, a small group of players who were able to enter the game stated that the new visuals and some gameplay improvements were satisfactory. Players who are experiencing Gears of War for the first time on the PlayStation platform also say they are amazed by the series’ iconic weapons.

The Gears community account announced that all technical issues were investigated throughout the weekend and that players will be notified regularly. It is not yet clear whether the beta period will be extended in the coming days. Fortunately, this test only covers the first weekend; there will be another beta opportunity next week.
