Either way, I don’t even bother playing the multiplayer anymore outside of the occasional horde mode round, but even that mode doesn’t get played a lot since none of my friends have Gears of War 4. I don’t know if it’s the fact that no matter how much I practiced, I just couldn’t get good at it, or if it’s the fact that it seemed like everyone else was so much better with the sniper rifles and rolling into shotgun kills, than I was.

Fair warning, I do not care for the Gears of War multiplayer gameplay, it’s just not my style.
