Sepreth(@Sepreth):Gears of War: E-Day is out in early access, and a few series staples are not in it. The Coalition says meat shields, chainsaw duels, some older weapons, private lobbies, and leaderboards are missing at launch. The studio said it started E-Day “with an empty hard drive,” rebuilding the sandbox so campaign, PvE, and PvP share one setup. The trade-off, it said, is that every legacy feature could not make launch. Those features are not cut from the series. The team says it will look at bringing them back after launch, or in the next game. Versus Ranked is set for October 13.
