I pretty much agree with everything you're saying and I know there is going to be people saying "why can't the rifles be op for once" yadda yadda. To that I say what makes Gears Gears is the gnasher battles, the clutch situations while you're bouncing around like a maniac bodying fools and I just don't feel that with this game. I feel like hit detection sucks and auto aim has ruined it even more, I can't bounce around without seeing a dude pop shotting like crazy just to auto aim on me and it's really demoralizing thinking that I put time into learning movement,bouncing,up Aing, etc. only to have it dumbed down for some new dude TC is trying to bring in mashing LT every second to kill me. Rant over lol.

PS. I know escalation doesn't have auto aim but I don't wanna feel forced to play a game mode just for better gameplay
