but the lateral movement is nonexistant from what I have seen in the game.
For me it works well, for instance taking cover at the side of an entrance, just aim the analog stick towards the other side where you want to go and hit the cover button and Drake will take cover at the other side. This always works for me, same with boxes, pillars, walls, etc.
Even the forward cover movement is broken.
Maybe you have trouble aiming well? I do remember that Gears felt more sticky when taking cover, for some this may be a plus and others it's not...
A nice touch I like is walking + aiming, you can easily change the point of view having Drake placed on either the right or left side of the screen by pushing the analog stick.
