I've noticed a large number of variations in both the locust armor and the troop helmets in the game... A cool idea for the multiplayer would be a character editor. To me this would make the game feel more personal if we are able to customize our own gears and locusts. Possibly in gears 3? Along with that, a map editor would be cool in the X Box version regarded the servers could ever handle it. Maybe even a war mode if the servers ever allow it. Maybe 8 on 8 in huge maps with cogs driving those tanks while locust pilot brumaks? It would be cool, but probably not easy to do online. Big maps would better suit the mortar as it seems to be a bit of an annoyance in the smaller maps. Perhaps an option to play without it in a future update? Just a few crazy ideas i've had for a while. Anyone else agree with me?

I like the customization part, put the Brumaks and Tanks would
kind of kill it. The game wasn't based on a vehicular multiplayer idea.
But, yeah, I do like the "design your own character" idea.

I have been thinking this would be a good idea from when I played my first multiplayer games,I would really lke to see this in the next one were I can customize my own COG and Locust.

If there ever was an option for a war mode it would be a cool addition, not a replacment for the classic online we have come to know and love, but perhaps an altenative mode like horde mode. Say 1 brumak and one Derek per map while Cog get 2 smaller vehicles and locust get 2 bloodmounts or a Reaver. Just food for thought.

I definetly think we should have a vote for a charater editor as this would make the game even sweeter.

Firstly, vehicle related Gears multiplayer? NO WAY! That would be crap.

But the character creation thing? I thought about that in Gears 1. It would be quite cool to choose between heads, helmets, armor types, voice-types, which catch-phrases they use that sort of thing. But I think that I partly wanted it just because I hate it when someone is the same character as you, and that would stop that happening, but really, it isn't an important thing. The game is fine without it.

The funnest part would be if you could record your own lines or something, or pick them out of a big bunch, and then select times when they could be used; like "For getting an active-reload, use line here" and "For getting shot with a Torque Bow, use short line here" sort of thing. But, honestly, might be a lot better of without it.

hello,
custom things in a video game make everything better that would be great. But i dont really know what the armor or whatever would look like.

im up for it straight up. id say you should only be able to customise carmine alike characters though. different helmets, armour platings, cog tag or not. cog symbols, and skin colour. i dont think it would be right to be able to change an open looking charcter as only the main charcters realy have that in game. locust on the other hand should be developed from either theron guard or grenadiers where you can choose on helmets and body plaTing.
im not a big halo fan but im thinking alike there kind of customisation just obviously not too mutch with the colours or emblems.

should have different helmets id say for like

snipers
close combat
heavy
light (main infantry)
driver (such as beast rider, and the cog who pilot choppers)
and with whatever other ideas people come up with

Character editor would be a good idea, but think how hard it would be for Epic as they are already doing quite a lot of things at the moment. But, nevertheless its an incredible idea i wouldnt mind an update like that, but it may bring new bugs and glitches in the game.

Vehicles - No way, Cod:WAW is bad enough but the GoW2 vehicles you ride in campaign are just ridiculously overpowerful.
