    The real drawback of tournament is that bumper buttons wear out way faster than face buttons. Spamming cover you'll go through way more controllers.

      thats why i learned how to customize and mod controllers~! literally because i play gears with LB for movement, i put mechanical switches in replace of the membrane ones, also upgraded the plastic bumpers to metal and also added negative magnetic polarity to the way the bumpers feedback works. i can honestly say i build the BEST controller for gears 5 handsdown...
      kinda like the kid who did the mousewheel and keyboard keys on his controller for fortnite did!~ but instead, i upgraded the micro switches that the bumpers use to micro mechanical ones, and also swapped the face button switches from membrane to opti-mechanical razer purple ones!~
      if anyone is interested in seeing the mods i did, or interested in having a controller modded dont hesitate to get ahold of me! im working on starting a business customizing all sorts of electronics for people, mainly gamers, but also PRO's who want every competitive edge they can get!

    finally! someone who knows about tournament default-alternate!
    ive been playing with this scheme since gears 5 first came out!~
    coming from gears 4 and playing tournament controls since gears 1, ive learned tournament-alt in gears4, now, i can play with tournament settings but get the pro's of using alternate controls like the slide distance boost, the freedom to play non-claw and just use LB for movement, but also the ability to map everything so i never have to take my thumbs off of the sticks, which in my opinion makes tournament defaulternate the absolute BEST scheme being i can move, control, aim, and shoot faster than someone playing reg default- defaulternate, or tournament.

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 3 lety

      Sorry, thought I mentioned it - maybe in one of the followup videos.
      I use default on an elite controller. Right paddle is 'A' and left paddle is 'B' (though not really used in Gears much).
      If I didn't have an elite, I'd still be using tournament.

  • @garciaeddie5
    @garciaeddie5 Před 4 lety +2

    I personally use tournament. It just clicks with me and I love have most actions such as cover and shooting available at my fingertips. Yes the reload jam can be very annoying. I'm personally thinking about remapping b to right sick. To have my melee ready for a sticky situation over emote.

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 4 lety

      Yeah, tourney is really nice.
      Im wondering if you'll run into issues with putting B on RS. For most things, I don't think it will be an issue. Executions may have a priority issue with emotes/expressions though.

      @@TacCom mhm haven't thought of that but after watching the video it got me thinking there is a lot of potential with remapping different control schemes. It's like a small glimpse of key binding for m&k. So it makes me want to create different remapping methods and testing it to see what's effective or not. But thanks for opening my mind keep up the work!

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 4 lety

      From what I understand, claw has lead to some hand injuries and longer-term issues.
      It 100% has advantages over standard if you can get used to it...but I don't think I'd recommend it.
      Paddles basically offer the same advantages of claw, but is arguably more comfortable and shouldn't lead to issues.

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 3 lety +1

      You mean Tournament and Tournament Defaulternate?
      Its basically the same change as Default to Defaulternate. Buttons don't really change, but the flow chart (order of operations) does, thus changing the input delay.

      @@TacCom so tournament defaulternate is better than tournament?

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 3 lety +2

      Depends on your preferences.
      It will slide to cover on PRESS of LB when on T Defaulternate.
      If just on Tournament, it will slide to cover on RELEASE of LB.
      That seems to give T Defaulternate an advantage.
      On the other hand, the messed up order of operations may make you slide to cover when you're actually trying to run or roll.
      So TD is "faster" (barely), but can also potentially be more inconsistant.
      A lot of people use Defaulternate because of the slight speed gain....but personally, I feel it's so small and not worth the change.

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 4 lety

      You can go to "controller remapping" (or whatever it's called), and look at swapping some controls.
      Try using "Tournament", and then swapping LB/RB or something like that.

    Hi tac com i have one question i play on klassik scheme controller layout and everything is ok with that but one thing is just throw me off why if i roady run i have to use the left stick for look around and run why i cant just run with the left stick und watch normaly with the right stick so weird ?

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 2 lety

      I think one of the settings actually can swap it back.
      That said, it's done for a reason. If you're holding down "a" to run, you're right thumb is preoccupied (with a traditional controller grip). This makes it so that you wouldn't be able to turn while running - hence the swap to left stick.
      It becomes pretty natural after a while, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're really struggling, try thinking of it as "left stick = movement control" and with RRing, it's just controlling your movement direction.

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 3 lety +1

      Gears has never allowed you to switch shoulder like that.
      The only "shoulder swap" thing in Gears (any Gears) is:
      - When aiming, you always aim over the right shoulder
      - When in cover, you aim over the right shoulder
      - If you go all the way to the left, and aim around a wall, it aims over the left shoulder
      ---- this is the only time it aims over the left
      ---- if you pull off of the wall while you're still ADS, you'll stay on the left shoulder
      ------- if you left go of ADS though, you'll switch back to right

I played gow4 this way too and it felt so comfortable to me but it seems the wall bouncing in gears 5 with as close as controls as I think I can get it just doesn’t work, it’s like the LB cover button doesn’t let you take cover all the time, mid fight I’ll be looking at a wall I wanna slide to and pressing LB and it just doesn’t take cover it’s like there is a cover delay or something, it doesn’t happen all the time but it seems to happen at the worst times, also makes triangle bounces not work so much, idk maybe it’s just me but if someone can please explain it to me that would be great, you did an amazing video I just didn’t find my problem in it, please help with this

    • @TacCom
      @TacCom  Před 4 lety

      Controller had elements of aim assist (different amounts in different modes). In general, aim assist is designed to make the controller players closer to that of PC players. Mouse will still win though.
      Mouse is objectively more accurate than gamepad... So aiming will be more accurate with mouse.
      Controller is objectively more accurate than keyboard, some movement will be more accurate with a controller.
      At the end of the day, play on what you find to be most comfortable, and you won't notice any significant advantage/disadvantage. The only exception to this is in precision shots (like sniper), you'll find that a mouse player can easily beat out a controller player.
