I was just wondering what everyone would prefer; an indoor level or an outdoor level. Specify why you would like the level and what weapons/tactics you would use. Also specify why you wouldn't like the other. and say what enemies you would expect:D

[ChaosKnight]

Outdoor because you arent crampped in a room each level. outside you have can go almost anywhere.... in doors if feels as if a game is too linear ya know? but i still enjoy both, just i like outdoors. Outdoors you can have almost any enemy but indoors you are limited to the ceiling height.

[UnregisteredGreyGear]

ya, i know
but then there could be atruims in the indoor ones like the cell blocks in the demmo
btw, what weapon would u use for that specific place, i would use the shotgun; just for a thought, imagine a combi weaopn of the shotgun and a lancer. the lancer would get the long range guys, the shot gun would get all up in their face and the saw would be for when you run out of ammo

[seph]

I like both, but if I had to chose I'd go for outdoors. In most occassions, indoors are tight without much space and free room to blast your opponents. But it's fun taking cover behind a couch or other furniturs (http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/48792/Gears-of-War/). Outdoors just have a lot more to offer.

I think Gears of War will offer us a little bit of both.

[UnrealWars]

I would prefer an indoor level because the fire battles would be intense with all the bullets flying around. And the cover is not as good as it is in an outdoor level.:D

[Zoso Fan]

I would have to say Outdoor because of the XO5 night demo! :)

[UnregisteredGreyGear]

good points, but also say why not the other, weapons, and tactics

[Uday23]

well we know their will be lots of outdoor maps so i was hopeing for a cool indoor one, with lots of hallways and rooms, like and office, with tables for cover, just a thought

[UnregisteredGreyGear]

sounds cool

[electric flesh]

If the game is designed well, it won't matter if it's outdoor or indoors. It should be awesome in either scenario. Condemned featured indoor areas because it was meant to be in your face and brutal and I think the devs pulled it off pretty well. The devs of Gears also said that they're shooting for intimate violence situations and I think that's why the chainsaw gun has worked out so well for them. But the addition of a sniper weapon in Gears also indicates that there will be some long range combat which takes me back to my original point. If CliffyB and everyone else designs the game well, gamers will enjoy both scenarios equally.

[Shifty]

I'd love to play both but for some reason lately I've been hoping for some large indoor levels (like a big expensive hotel) where you can go and get into colse quarters, leapfrog style battles in the hallways. And in the main lobby area would be a large open space with plenty of cover.

[FortuneWookie]

hell ya too all the stuff, i would probably like the outdoor more because i LOVE to snipe :) and assault rifles are kick ass too. i would like indoor but it sometimes has the feeling of not enough room, but with gears' cover feature it would turn out great. epic will work it out and we will have both and they both will b sick!

Dude you know it! Im gonna seeing some Shotgun Gibbs in the future!

[Flaming Hornets]

I have to say indoor, just because fighting in close quarters is so cool. And if there is a big enough room, you can try and control key points, like the stairs. And because it is inside you have fewer access points, so more strategy has to be used in order to take control.

[chron1caust]

Both, it can be a level with an outside but it can also have lots of building to enter.

its gonna be sweet going around a corner and pumping a guy with a shotty, or walking up the stairs to find some punk-ass hiding back turned in some room and then chainsawing him into mince meat!:D

Do you think the screenshot of them(Dom and Marcus) in a hotel is from SP or MP?

[Uday23]

Its not amazing quality as it has been cut down.

[Uday23]

o ya i remember seeing this now, looks like SP to me, i think that was just a screwed up part b/c look at marcus' head its nasty, its not as good as the present screens or videos, but the level looks sweet

[SkateXer99]

outdoor with buildings, so it's really half.

[MooseKnuckles]

I reckon that the best levels would be the ones that are outdoors, in city streets, with burnt-out car wrecks and crumbling buildings missing a wall or two for cover. That would give you enough opportunities for long range, but the amount of cover would make it possible to flank and move closer without getting picked off by enemies with sniper and assault rifles.

But, a solely indoor level in an abandoned hotel/office building would be pretty cool. I can almost smell the gibs from here :)

I have a hard time believing Dom looks safe in that picture. Hiding behind a couch seems a tad scary.

[seph]

Cliffy B did in fact mention that if you hide behind furniturs they can be demoralized if it gets shot at enough times.

[SkateXer99]

EPIC also said things like couches waste away when shot, so he's even less safe since the couch chips away.

Well it didnt look liek he had anything else to take cover behind. :p

[Uday23]

lol, someone should photoshop Dom sitting(with a cup of tea!) on the couch instead of hiding behind it and then release it has a new screenshot! lol everyone in the forum would be so confused!

[Flaming Hornets]

But they also said everything chips away, so you are safe nowhere. Thats a kinda scary thought.

[Zoso Fan]

That screen was from the game in Early Dev. it said so in OXm june

[Uday23]

A hotel multiplayer map would be so different and fun!

[Whistlerman]

haha yea that would be cool

[Zoso Fan]

Rainbow Six 3 had a good level design for a game like gears, just hit me. I think the had a few MP that if cover places were added, would work great with the gameplay.

That picture is inside this mansion http://media.teamxbox.com/games/ss/1167/1147226374.jpg. This level is where you are fighting in Marcus's home.....there is a big 'secret' down in the basement and you have to fight your way through! It was in the Gamesmaster (Uk magazine) preview about 2 months ago. Supposedly you hav a massive fight on the steps before entering the mansion, and it doesnt stop!

techinically ur still outside, lol, can u post that article it seems so freakin cool, it must be some level were marcus decides to go back home for something, probably later in the game

but seriously post it!

[gamerboy228]

A level that had walls but no ceiling, too allow for locust reinforcements for when you kill all of the locusts. that would be most triumphant,

[j-wrell]

i really want to play the night time level with all the lightning and cinematics. that looks awesome!

[Uday23]

especially in MP, imagine walking in the dark on a cold stormy night and hearing the revving of a chainsaw behind u, u turn around but see nothing, and in the next second ur half a person!:eek:

Lol that would be awesome! Turn off the lights and turn up the volume!!!:D

[Uday23]

o ya, it would be so creepy, especially if u were the last guy on ur team, i would freakin hide in a corner and cry like a baby........i mean pull out my chainsaw and go and fight, lol, it would be really scary if u saw ur enemies run past u or u saw them from far whenver the lighting flashed and give a moment of light, like in the demo, lets say ur standing in front of a tree and looking around, u see something in the distance, boom lighting, u see it closer, boom lighting, u see it yards away from u, boom lighting, its gone, arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, is it?!?!? boom lighting, ur body is on the floor ripped in half! that dark level is going to be really fun, hope they have it for MP, they probably will

[HELLFIRE V1]

I would say both as the outdoor ones are good for overall GOW experience I'll choose the outdoor levels, but the indoor levels can be good if you want to get up close and personnel if you know what I mean.

[cup0607]

outdoor because i like a tactical game more than just room to room shotguning, although i love the feeling when you see an enemy, pull the triger and suddendly hes covered in blood.... oh yeah!


(also i know im bringing this thread back to life but its what i do)

[Kung Foo Oyster]

Outdoors...big field... billions of locusts, all the cogs... massive braveheart style chainsaw battle... just run across the field...all the ammo has run out... yessss... dream come true...

[Devious_DJ]

i agree with the the outdoors thing cup and kung foo....but why did you feel it neccessary


TO RAISE THE DEAD!!!!!!

HONEY WHERES MY SHOTGUN!!!
in the bathroom i was scrubbing off all that filth!!!
HOW DARE YOU CLEAN OFF MY ZOMBIE BLOOD!!!!!!!
