5 Things to Make You ACTUALLY Good at Gears of War 

The way my dude is just casually talking going 30-4 is a flex idc 😭

lifes been rough I got hella ants in my house rn

My first gears was gears 2 when i was 7 years old. I watched goldglove, you, and loadinggodmode(vern), as well as shadows. I got better with each game. Gears 4 was the first game i played competitive and got diamond in KOTH and Escalation.

Need a series of you explaining your mindset and decisions from some of your old competitive matches!

no way bro woke up just to cheat on gears 5 ffa, actually kinda sad

Really solid video. Keep up the great work champ. Enjoyed this one

Honestly your advice about gears and the tips you give about comp is amazing and I have been following the comp scene a little after gow 4 came out and there are moments where I have taken what I seen in your vids and put it in my movement and it has really helped me get better

Love this vid man. Good advice thats guides players that are new. Im terrible at gears and have a friend who i just got into the game so this really helps.

I appreciate this video so much, When I first started playing the game at the beginning of the year I was playing the game so wrong. Now that I've taken almost a year break I'm coming back trying to learn the right way

Somthing just wanted me to tell you that you don't have to stress on anything and let God take care of it

Crazy you made this video, I played UG and GBs in gears 3 and did the same in gears 4 as a kid. Chalked gear 5 but I watched the esports scene and now I watch cod league a lot and it’s lit but that’s not my game. So I’m very interested in playing competitive for eday. I have a lot of love for gears of war. I Appreciate this video 💯

Your channel along with Shadows' are the only two channels ive been following over the years and have learned alot as a player. Loved the advice about not needing to replicate someone's style. Gears is a very versatile shooter which welcomes different playstyles with open arms. You just need to adjust to what your natural playstyle is alongside the basics ofcourse(e.g using covers as much as possible)

Did not expect for you to run into my boy nyquill. Anyway, hopefully Eday fixes the cheating, I remember a day when ninjas was crab walking to win. Guess cheaters gonna cheat🤷🏽‍♂️

Really enjoyed these tips brother!! I think you should upload these more often. Ever thought about coaching players?

Been night and day since the EDay announcement. Almost like you enjoy Gears again. Good stuff!

You know what? I knew there was a reason I've been subbed to you this whole time. I've never really felt like this before but I recently leveled up in a way irl and I can tell that you have potential as well. The way you describe this game is kinda how I thought pros thought about this game. I used to be montager for the community back in the hayday of GoW 3. So I gotta little taste of the "how to be good at gears" mentality and I shit you not, feels like that was just the start of who I am today. I'm willing to put money on it that some pros view this game similar to a fast game of chess(for lack of a better analogy) . Each Gear or Locust moving methodically(using cover)throughout the map, picking up power weapons for extra firepower, taking control of power positions..and thats anoverarching teamplay style of gears. The individual 1v1s or 2v1s or 2v2 with your buddy where y'all in synched up just fucking hit different once you know how this game was intended to be played. Wallbouncing has a place but not the hyper shit. The hyper bounce shit really helps ya train your reflexes but the traditional cover mechanics of gears train your brain. The ideal gears game would have developers that had figured this out (please) and found a way to tone down hyper bouncing while rewarding players for good reactions while rewarding players for good thinking while giving the best rewards for those with both. Enough yapping 😂 It's silly really but this franchise holds the biggest place in my heart and I wanna thank you Icy for continuing to make content. Imma join the discord a bit later, I think..part of leveling up is just doing shit I want to do lol

Feels like the old GOW days again man joined the discord was late to 5 but im a OG since the original. Icy been putting Gow back on the map again

If u guys wanna improve: - Play Competitive Damage 1v1s GB style (and after that, team matches) - Watch Pros competitive 1v1 matches and montages (4vs4 too) - Study all the tricks, movements, map angles. - Grind the game

Icy, optic summons, domez, xplosives and avexys is my inspirations for improving at gears of war. Sometimes all it takes is a good influence and watching good players. Maybe slow down videos if necessary Sidenote: in a 2v2 gnasher match in gears 4 i ran into xplosives and holy shit pros are on a different level then us for real find the mistakes you made even if you have to punish yourself somehow to lessen the mistake pros will subconsciously seen that without thinking

Do you think there’s a difference between a wired or wireless controller? Which one is better for gears?

I hope icy you win every tournament next gears … you and a couple of people didn’t sell out and go play another game.

Your right about you never know who is watching! Can be a new player or someone who wants to really compete

Is single stick why i keep fucking up my bounces ive always used bothe of my sticks to bounce in 3 and 4. Ill have to try this its just awkward not using bothe my left and right to bounce

Its weird but I feel like I normally played pretty well with 15-23 sens back in the older games but for some reason in Gears 5 that feels almost too slow for me. This is the first Gears game where I play on all 30s. Not sure if its because I'm on PC or my controller.

100% the goat!!!🐐💪💯

FACTS!

i remember gamebattles back in nam. before they got mcdonalds

I do watch your gears 1-3 videos.... it has made me a much better player

Serious question Icy, your former teammates DetoX was on single stick right ? Fran was a alternate Warrior, So how much do you respect it ? SS is **** up but defaut is recentering too much your screen while up A ing, even if you put your camera stick down,it’s too much compared to other title game is too much assisted 😂

I just back A a lot and walk around and use cover a lot. I can't be bothered messing up my hands with spamming wall bouncing. I never liked wall bounce spamming.

22:53 lol

Love your Channel bro your videos are amazing🔥

ICY... something weird is going on with my discord I can't verify by phone number! There is nothing I can do, can you make a different way of verification or just let me in? Can anyone help?

22:30 I said the same thing as I was eating bro, how was that not a headshot?

That gb bot is cool, I’ll join, don’t play much. But always loved singles

Have you ever watched snub he's one of them playrs 💀

The only negative thing I say, i just dont think alternate should be gone, altogether. I think remapping shouldn't be a thing. But alternate has been around since Gears of War 2, many of us went to alternate in Gears of War 2 and have stayed ever since. I don't know if i could go back to default at this point. And not defaulternate just classic alternate that's been around for so long. But I also think that pc shouldn't be able to use M&K if they have crossplay enabled.

I’ve kinda given up on getting better in this game, I just think I’ve hit a point that only slowly goes down at this point. xd

Is default settings and having a high sensitivity bad to use for wall bouncing?

Always played on 30-26 but the last few years it’s 19

Kid had no spread 😂😂

i agree too, i said it before .all that wall canceling sh*t is not real gears of war. Gears was always about mastering special weapons, team work, and using roadie running efficiently and strafing. No one values cover and shoot because you can just wall bounce and ice skate everywhere. Gears should favor brains not reflex.

There's actually someone out here tryin to rep my GT...

22:38 maaan

Any tips for keyboard and mouse players?

GB bot? Say no more I’m sold

I just fuckin rage quit. Sucks to play ranked as a first game on I always get shit on.

Finally you comment again on single stick. Too many people rely on that crap

🫡⚙️❤️

That’s funny I literally reported him multiple times months ago. Lol

Icy, I watched this video and made me jump back on gears, however I lasted 2 games, this game is terrible, E-DAY needs to hurry up 😅

You can tell someone sucks at a game when they suck at cheating lol On a side note, I didn’t even know that “single stick” existed. I always wondered how people were getting so good at this game. I practiced hard to wallbounce and the reaction shot was even more difficult to master. I mastered it nonetheless, but damn man. You definitely trash if you use it and you ain’t disabled.

They've been trying to make the game more accessible for years and they finally achieved I have zero confidence in the next few games man I'm sorry

So, apparently some people are not allowed to have an opinion on gears movement.. sooo entitled haha

Shit that drives me away from this game: - People who don’t play the damn objective. If you play control, play for the damn hill, man! 30 seconds left and people are sniping half a map away and aren’t doing shit. - people who join matches and remain idle for most of the match. If you don’t have time to play, don’t join fucking ranked matches

Its a shame how easy it is to get masters in this game. Its way harder in gears 4.

First

Nasally as fuck xd

Number one is never to play the game second play heard of war four if u want real skill

wall bouncing is 90% of the skill... that is the dumbest take iv'e ever heard lmao. it's like 15% of the skill.

Gears e day multiplayer will suck, they’ve gone too far with pc integration so the real issues wil never be fixed

Just because someone beats you doesn't mean that they are cheating. If that is your logic, then you should be banned.

Wallbouncing 🤓 Smartbouncing 🥸📈
