Community Gears of War 3 Ideas List [Add your ideas]

[Fx Stryker]

We all know that there will be Gears of War 3. I think that since we all passionately want to give ideas for the Gears of War franchise. We all seen the melee/lag/host/shotty/etc. threads. Now I have come up with the idea of making one giant thread on our idea for Gears of War 3. I have done this on the EA Skate forums and it worked very well.

All I am asking is for the community member to post some ideas they came up with. I will edit(or at least try to) everyone's post into the subtopics' they belong in so no ones' idea is not seen by the Epic staff. When you post your idea please post what subtopic you are posting for so it makes it easier on me to edit. The user that posts the idea will have their forum name displayed next to the idea.

Try to keep your ideas reasonable and please do not post useless things"go back to gears 1 system",(we are trying to improve not decline) "hit detection", "fix host", "shotty broken", "game lags its BS". I want to make this a positive atmosphere for the Epic staff to see. Also if you see an idea please feel free to add to it. If you add on an idea your name will be displayed next to your edit to the idea.

To Epic,
All the ideas are not supported by everyone. This is only for you to get ideas on what to use.


Thank You,
Fx Stryker

Campaign Subtopic

Fx Stryker: I would like to see a nice big battle. Possibly something like D-Day.
CommanderRown: Delta Squad survives
jeanpaul: rpg style upgrades
zzhobbit: 4 player co-op with 4 way split paths
kenny gmang: - When it's the usual 2-man seperation, there should be side missons that let you play Cole and Baird, maybe sometime after campaign completion only.
GrumpyGinger: revisit old GoW 1 and GoW 2 story mode places
ohaimynameiserik: better boss battles
NO DRIVING SEQUENCES. and if there is 1, polish the balls off of that and make it to where it's like the brumak. it's nearly impossible to die and you get to destroy EVERYTHING. that's fun. driving with crappy controls on breaking ice is not.

Multiplayer Subtopic


II Dan Ace II: I also strongly suggest multiplayer to be on its own disc, separate from the campaign. Only horde and multiplayer on a separate disc to provide space for such improvements.
Endure - explanation in his thread here (http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=27119294&postcount=1)
Fx Stryker: GoW1 had a great online system. GoW2 also had a great system. I know Epic wanted you to be able to play ranked with friends. I was thinking combining the two. get into a lobby then the leader selects from a lobby list like GoW1.

Ahsian owns: Free-for-all game mode

CommanderRown: 100 v. 100 mass battle

BabyNene&RedRocket: many many more private match options

jeanpaul: unlockables as you level up - Ex: gears,guns,execution style,badges or even taunts

multiplayer beta so they can test the game online from around the world

Chewbacca: Max 100ms ping limit on MP

Gunbladen: Host Migration (preferably dedicated servers instead!)
Some sort of option to play in our own regions such as only West Coast,US,Mexico etc AND perhaps having tournaments with the best from each Region competing and stats on how well each player does in which ever region played in

Chieffie: More scenery: I know there isn't much of Sera left, but I'd love to have a section of woodland/marsh to patrol in and fight in. Possibility for the smaller Corpser mentioned above to live in, and dig it's holes.

kenny gmang: Keep matchmaking, and make MP into the following categories:
+ Horde (Public or Private)
+ Matchmaking (Public ONly)
+ Private Matches (Private or Public, like matchmaking too, but obviously there is less-to-no EXP gain)

Zalerium: I would like a ranking system with several ranks. Numbers just don't look that cool. :(

GrumpyGinger: ranking system for each gametype

G3NOCIDAL: more private match options (Ex ability to toggle stopping power on and off, put more ammo in guns etc. like halo)

zzhobbit: Medals of Honor (100 kills with torque, 100 headshots, 100 Warzone Wins, etc.) these medals would give a chunk of EXP and rather than making an achievement for getting so many kills with a weapon there will be an achievement for getting a group of certain medals (torque, boom, frag)

Inflamesforever: 2 million points or so
ability to reset to level 1 when 100 is achieved
medal added to your CoG/Locusts player model every time you reach 100

ohaimynameiserik:in multiplayer incorporate a matchmaking system that lets you join or quit games as you please, with the penalty of quitting being that you don't get any xp you've earned.

Character Subtopic


Fx Stryker: Different voiced lines for all the Carmines. Should be able to tell Anthony from Ben from Clay from D.

Ahsian owns: Playable Female Character

Gunbladen: bad ass and attractive but doesn't have giant boobs or a show of cleavage.


CommanderRown: Incorporate the characters from the book

jeanpaul: customizeable characters for your locust and cog

goingnutzhere: alternate outfits for each character (like Mortal Kombat)
Fx Stryker: unlock these possible with rank ups or so many games played with each character
II Dan Ace II: Unlockables for each character, i.e armor pieces. If I get "x" amount of kills or headshots with A. Carmine, maybe I can unlock a helmet variant? Small pieces to distinguish the level of players and add a third dimension to playing for countless hours. It's always nice to work towards the one unlockable that everyone wants. Replay value indeed!
Gunbladen: Custom armor
Chieffie: New locust type: I'd love the locust to have bred some kind of monstrous locust/animal type in their underground labs... Possibly a flying one, kind of like a sire with wings. It could wait for Delta Squad on tops of buildings and in trees, and then swoop down to our destuction.
Another new locust type: Small subspecies of the Corpser, it digs almost invisible holes. If a cog falls in, he gets eaten. kind of like some species of spiders do.
Speaking of the Sires: I want more information on them. How did they become sires, who is responsible, can they be cured, if so, how, etc.
ohaimynameiserik: at least 4 NEW playable characters on BOTH teams. (some legit new locust, not the standard drone with a different helmet on).
Teh Hermit: make the King Raven a bigger part

[Fx Stryker]

Weapon Subtopic


Overal

Gunbladen: more balance between all weapons
Damage should be increased based on placement of shot (ie headshots and chest shots with a lancer should kill someone MUCH FASTER than shots to the legs)
CocaColaMann: At least three different executions with each weapon, mabe even four.
bilbob85: tracer round in the AR's every 20-30 bullets
Frosty: More choices of starter weapons aka variable choice of starting rifle and shotgun. explanation (http://forums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=27112711&postcount=87)

ohaimynameiserik: perhaps the original HB as a starting weapon.

Mr PresidentX: weapon ideas (http://forums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=27112741&postcount=88)




Lancer

zzhobbit: You have chainsaw up and have to press against a person for a second or two and then it will 'catch' and kill them
Gunbladen: Chainsaw can only be used once during a round(gets rid of noob sawing)
KENKRANK: chainsaw has a gas meter [similar to Hammer of Dawn]; get more gas when picking up lancer ammo
Tag@gears: i want too chainsaw walls.. thread here link (http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=702057)...




Hammerburst

CommanderRown: Make the HB more powerful then the lancer again...much more balanced that way.
Bedroom Thief: needs more ammo




Gnasher

Gunbladen: more damage in CQC
Comrade John: less range wider spread




Snub Pistol

yalnif: more ammo
RATM <3: headshot capability




Boltok Pistol



Gorgon Pistol

Fx Stryker: Active reload makes it fire faster.




Boomshot

CommanderRown: still has to have 2 shells





Longshot

yalnif: more ammo




Torque Bow

Scooby803: forced to be charged longer in order to stick to someone, and decrease it's range
Gunbladen: better accuracy




Hammer of Dawn



Schorcher

yanliff: have it like the troika, unlimmited ammo but you have to do the RB thing to cool it down



Fragment Grenades

Gunbladen: damage should be consistent (ie why can a placed grenade kill a guy running from several feet away but not always at a much closer range?)




Ink Grenades

Fx Stryker: combustible by the schorcher creating a huge fireball
Nitro5Nate: When i tag someone with the ink grenade they should die but not right away give it like two seconds when a person is down so that way if u got a buddy close by (that is willing to save ur butt) he can but if no one is around u should die the frag kills u why not the ink?


yalnif: 2 per pick-up




Smoke Grenades

xttraumatiize: idea for the smoke (http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=27086364&postcount=1)
Fx Stryker: thicker smoke and longer for more coverage
thrown somes are only a smoke planted smoke will be a ragdoll




Grinder



Mortar



Boomshield



New Weapon Ideas

Chieffie: Molotov cocktails. Great when you hit someone, and even if you miss, a pool of flames so people can't follow you immediately... It's like a mix between frag (instant kill) and Ink (Protective wall). And the burning to death animation/sound is already there. I am assuming the scorcher is still in.

Booby traps. In stead of fragtags/proximity mines, why not boobytraps? These could be a pickup and take up the grenade slot. Imagine, for example, Blood Drive. You set a boobytrap at the entrance of where grenades spawn. It would take a little more skill AND time to place, but in stead of just shooting it out, the enemy would have to disarm it, placing themselves in a vulnerable position (Because this would also take more time then just shooting it out, and they would be in crouching position).

GearsX47: add some special equipments, for example, like kind of detector, you can detect the enemy behind shelter or hiding in buildings. so the one who want to hide until the time come to end will feel uncomfortble. of course, these equipments are also limited like weapons, you have to compete to pick it.

Emperor: Pyro Grenades - Basically the Firebomb Detonates engulfing anyone in flame in the immediate vicinity in a large fireball causing them to burn, the further away you're the less Damage/time you'll burn, tagging an average player would instantly incinerate, cosmetically it would look like a softly glowing orange fluid bubbling inside a transparent casing, Max Allowed 2

Freeze Grenades - The Ice bomb would work similar to an Ink grenade instead of a Toxic cloud it would emit Freezing mist that slow and harm anyone in the cloud also freeze the Terran temporarily that will lose any type of friction while traversing it, the cloud would be somewhat larger then an Ink, last about twice as long but only hurts at around half the damage but would but also twice as fast, tweaking would be done but the same concepts apply, tagging an average player would instantly solidify causing a temporary Ice Shield that would eventually shatter but upon been fired at would chip the sculpture depending on weaponry, cosmetically a cold metallic shell, slightly glowing Blue emitting a Cool mist that sinks, Max allowed 2

Spike Grenade - basically works by exploding launching destructive metal shards in all directions that could server limbs, decapitate, gib and Pin your body to the environment, in close quarters the shards could bounce around causing a Blender effect attaching to a wall would upon detonating in a perpendicular fashion, cosmetically a metallic and Spiky Chunk that resembles the Grenade, no Glow, Max Allowed 4.

kenny gmang: Butcher's Knife
+ Slow attacks that are 1-hit kills (or downs)
+ RT is a swinging attack (covers more ground, for multiple people), LT+RT is a direct attack (more range, meant for one person)
+ 1-2 executions for it.

zzhobbit: Hybrid/Compromise weapons. For people who really can't decide between boltok or gorgon, lancer or HB there will be a weapon that comprises both aspects without being as strong in any 1 of those areas (this would also stop problems with weapon balance)

Teh Hermit: A cog weapon to rival the boomshot

[Fx Stryker]

Gamplay Subtopic


goingnutzhere: no shooting delay out of rodie run
Gunbladen: less damage for melee and melee combos
Suicide option when downed for more than 5 seconds for those occasions when opposing team is "raping" and "smoke tagging" a person that gets old REAL FAST make it a cianide pill or something like that
Fx Stryker: melee stun and delay for melee out of the roll
ability to assassinate some (possibly stab them in the neck while taking them as a meatshield)
GearsX47: add energy bar, running and rolling will be energy cosming, you can never run and roll permanently, when your energy gauge is empty, you can not run and roll until it is recovered.
kenny gmang: Y is the meatflag button
- X is the curb stomp / execution button
- Holding the direction on the d-pad and pressing X for a special weapon execution

[Scooby803]

Have the Torque Bow forced to be charged longer in order to stick to someone, and decrease it's range. This is the easiest weapon to use in the game imo

[StayClassy015]

gears 3 needs to be a hell of a lot less glitchier when its released

[jeanpaul]

customizeable characters for your locust and cog

and please epic 60 fps would be very nice

rpg style upgrades on single player, unlockables on multiplayer as you level up,it can be additional gears,guns,execution style,badges or even taunts

Yeah I want it to be kind of like cod when theres a reward for leveling up...

[alonlyalchemist]

all im asking for in gears 3 is that it doesnt dissapoint me as bad as gears 2. the singleplayer was great but the multiplayer was the worst ive ever seen, horrible lag horrible host selection the ability to force host. the gameplay in gears 2 online is so glitchy and buggy and was never like that for gears 1. long story short epic had a very good game(gears 1) and took is and tourtred it and made it come out of the closet and thus spawned gears 2

[KP Mercs]

100 v 100, damn game is laggy enough as is, they will never fix this **** there no damn ignorrant

[yalnif]

snub : more ammo
sniper: more ammo
ink: 2 pick up

sorry not to pick on you but im glad you posted this
this is an example of what i dont want you to post


100 v 100, damn game is laggy enough as is, they will never fix this **** there no damn ignorrant

these are only ideas

[zzhobbit]

Campaign - Delta squad from beginning to end (4 player coop with 4 way split paths) Weapons - Chainsaw has to be connected for a second and then kills
Edit: You have chainsaw up and have to press against a person for a second or two and then it will 'catch' and kill them
Multiplayer - More maps with environmental hazards (large tunnel/sewer floods and only the higher catwalk is safe or a bad storm sends debris through the map)

[goingnutzhere]

A special insignia or "callsign" for all your passed achievements from Gears 1 and 2. IE...I have the headshot acheivement in gears 1 along with the longshot achievment, and my weapon in gears 2 was the longshot. So I would get some sniper inginia when someone would kill me.

an epic battle that makes me feel like its the end of the world if i cant do this.

roadie run and shotty

come out on PC as well

option to alter outfits in a way or have different outfits for MP. Marcus and Dom have Pendulum War uniforms as well as E-Day uniforms and weapons with the respected uniform.

Make online play a little better. Find ways to get rid of glitchers, hackers, etc on the fly and not months later.



thats all i have/

[Fx Stryker]

all ideas now edited into the OP

[Gunbladen]

1)Add a playable Female character who's bad ass and attractive but doesn't have giant boobs or a show of cleavage.
2)Should be able to shoot even in Roadie Run and when coming out of Roadie Run
3)Weapon damage should be more consistent over entire Gears weapon catalog
4)Longer torque bow release prior to stick but with an increase to accuracy
5)Melee damage needs to be decreased while adding melee combos
6)Keep shotgun as is except damage needs to be increased in the 3ft range (should be a kill or at least missing body parts where shot as in missing limbs etc.)
7)Shooting off an arm forces use of pistol and eventual bleed-out without loss of being mobile(eventually a down but not upon first loss of limb)
8)Damage should be increased based on placement of shot (ie headshots and chest shots with a lancer should kill someone MUCH FASTER than shots to the legs)
9)Grenade damage should be consistent (ie why can a placed grenade kill a guy running from several feet away but not always at a much closer range?)
10)ADD TAUNTS :)
11)More areas where you can be protected from Hammer of Dawn
12)Another Great Campaign
Thanks for reading :)

[Fx Stryker]

everything so far was put into their corresponding topic
i dont know if i should keep bumping this because here isnt too many replys

[D.Kan91]

HORDE SUBTOPIC

Here's my list:

1.) Add the WHOLE HORDE (Brumaks, Corpsers, Reavers, Berserkers, Palace Guards, Hydra?, RAAM, and Skorge)
2.) Waves where the Locust constantly rush you like Nazi Zombies
3.) Waves where the Locust stay and concentrate in one area and attack you from afar.
4.) Waves where there is only one type of Locust spawning (i.e: Waves of only Tickers, Boomers, Sires, or Cyclops, etc.)
4.) Boss Waves
5.) Large number of Locusts spawning at one time, like 30.
6.) Locusts spawning behind or near you because of Emergence Holes
7.) NO REPEATING WAVES (looping after 10 waves is boring!)
8.) Make Horde start off easy at first like a wave with only Wretches and then proceeding to become extremely difficult with a wave with a very large number of Locust troops along with Brumaks, Corpsers, and etc spawning.
9.) Horde Dedicated Maps
10.) Destructible Environments?
11.) Up to 8 human players
12.) Add bots if people quit, or have the option to add bots during Local or Private games.
13.) Allow GUESTS to come online for the Horde playlist with you
14.) Don't give the host the ability to pause himself/herself as well as other players.
15.) Host Migration?
16.) Specific waves that enable the Ammo Boxes to refill ALL types of weapons (HoD, Mortar, and Mulcher) in order to fight off the larger or more damage resilent Locusts.
17.) Have characters conversing with each other like Nazi Zombies or campaign (for example: Dom makes a comment on Marcus' execution of a Locust)
18.) Add interesting voice-work to the characters from Nazi Zombies (Nikolai quotes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uLgt...eature=related

19.) What happened to the HIGH DENSITY CROWDS from the Unreal Engine 3 Tech Demo back in GDC 2008?
20.) Compounding EXP
21.) Music playing in the background for the most intense battles.

22.) 100 Waves or endless waves (give players the option like Super Smash Bros Series' gametype Multi Man Melee?)

That's what I can think of so far,

[KENKRANK]

My list of things to keep, and things to change for Gears of War 3 is so long... it will take me two weeks to post up...

I'll try and get back...

[CocaColaMann]

At least three different executions with each weapon, mabe even four.

[Gunbladen]

I've already replied to this post (the subject of Gears 3) however I've recently came up with some good ideas which may or may not have already been listed
1) Host Migration (preferably dedicated servers instead!)
2) Chainsaw can only be used once during a round(gets rid of noob sawing)
3) Suicide option when downed for more than 5 seconds for those occasions when opposing team is "raping" and "smoke tagging" a person that gets old REAL FAST make it a cianide pill or something like that
4) Custom armor
5) Some sort of option to play in our own regions such as only West Coast,US,Mexico etc AND perhaps having tournaments with the best from each Region competing and stats on how well each player does in which ever region played in
6)Graphics don't need fixing just needs better physics and polishing of online system

[Gunbladen]

i thought there would be way more post than this
there is always a topic for new ideas

Well honestly there's NOT a lot of things that need improving it's just a couple things that need A LOT of improvement which obviously people have talked to death about (lag,2 piecing, etc) however i think that some of the things that myself and others have listed if implemented into Gears 3 could really add a lot to the next game

[KENKRANK]

2) Chainsaw can only be used once during a round(gets rid of noob sawing)
I prefer the idea of a Gas Meter [similar to Hammer of Dawn]

pick up a new Lancer off the ground... get more gas... :)

Note: Annex and Guardian rounds can last quite awhile...

[Gunbladen]

Yeah that would work except there's only 1 Hammer of Dawn on the map so once you run out you have some time and it's a bit harder to pick it up again, compared to a lancer which you could find just about anywhere..however good idea honestly i don't think they'll change anything despite people's complaints

[Chieffie]

Great idea!!

I'd like:

- Molotov cocktails. Great when you hit someone, and even if you miss, a pool of flames so people can't follow you immediately... It's like a mix between frag (instant kill) and Ink (Protective wall). And the burning to death animation/sound is already there. I am assuming the scorcher is still in.

- Booby traps. In stead of fragtags/proximity mines, why not boobytraps? These could be a pickup and take up the grenade slot. Imagine, for example, Blood Drive. You set a boobytrap at the entrance of where grenades spawn. It would take a little more skill AND time to place, but in stead of just shooting it out, the enemy would have to disarm it, placing themselves in a vulnerable position (Because this would also take more time then just shooting it out, and they would be in crouching position).

- New locust type: I'd love the locust to have bred some kind of monstrous locust/animal type in their underground labs... Possibly a flying one, kind of like a sire with wings. It could wait for Delta Squad on tops of buildings and in trees, and then swoop down to our destuction.

- Another new locust type: Small subspecies of the Corpser, it digs almost invisible holes. If a cog falls in, he gets eaten. kind of like some species of spiders do.

- Speaking of the Sires: I want more information on them. How did they become sires, who is responsible, can they be cured, if so, how, etc.

- More scenery: I know there isn't much of Sera left, but I'd love to have a section of woodland/marsh to patrol in and fight in. Possibility for the smaller Corpser mentioned above to live in, and dig it's holes.

That's it for now :)

[Chieffie]

10)ADD TAUNTS :)


If you mean what I think you mean: AWESOME :)

I don't know how many of you played Lost Planet online, but the MP had a great way of assigning the D-pad: Up was a 'follow me' gesture, down was a 'wait' gesture (I think), and left & right had different animations per character to express joy, like a thumbs up (most decent one) up to a character making a (still pretty decent) 'humping' type of gesture (less decent one). If gears add this, maybe people will feel less need to hover back & forth against my DbnO little dude. I thought they were awesome, Gears 3 should definately have those (not EXACTLY the same, but you get the idea) :)

Hmmm....most stuff that has already been stated/added.

I would definitely like to see a much increased level of difficulty on the campaign. A 'Super Insane' difficulty that's gonna take some time to master (even for Gears Vets).

Also, maybe split the achievements for co-op and single player campaign completion too (an achievement for finishing it cooperatively and a separate achievement for going through solo).

Would love to see some specific weapon achievements too (500 [e.g.] headshots with the sniper)….and maybe multikill achievements (4 kills in one shot with boom/frags etc…)….anything that’s going to add longevity to the main game & MP….plenty of things to keep striving for :)

[E.M]

Great Thread!

[Gunbladen]

I think epic should make a female playable character and prolly add few more gametypes like free for all :)

Free for all would rock but adding something like what Halo has such as "Free for All Shotguns only" would be EPIC lol.

[Bedroom Thief]

There are a lot of great ideas here. But as far as a booby trap I have to strongly disagree with it because this is Gears of War, not Camp of duty. Lets not change the game so much that its not gears. I disagree with having a gas meter for the chainsaw. I never use the lancer but if you get chainsawed well its your fault for getting that close to the enemy and not killing them. Instead of changing the weapons so much we should bring back certain aspects of the game such as shooting and running like on Gears 1 and when Gears 2 first came out. How many of us have been chasing an enemy finally catch him and pull the trigger only not to have your shot come out??? Its frustrating!!! Noobs have put their ideas on this game and have killed it. People complain about wallbouncing, well either learn how to defend it or learn how to do it. We need to stop listening to kids that only play this game for one or two matches a day and listen to the hard core fans. Fix the sniper! Ive shot counteless people in the head and guess what....their head doesnt come off. Add more ammo to the shotgun 16 shells just isnt enough. Also like what was mentioned before update the frags so they're more consistent. FIX THE LEADERBOARDS!!!!!!! They're have been so many updates to this game such as the 12 days of gearsmas, but no attempt to fix the leaderboards. I was ranked #2 in exec. before the hackers and I never cheated. Id love to see some appreciation for the gamers that stayed true to the game and respected the integrity of the game. I second fix the accuracy of the torque bow and decrease charge time. Gears 2 is a great game but in a way its taken a step back by all the tweaking thats been done with the weapons instead of leaving them as they were when the game first came out. Lastly add more ammo to the hammerburst. I dont care about more damage but its unfair to have the lancer with what seems like infinite ammo and with the hammerburst im always looking for ammo.

[Spazzumes]

Gears 3 needs more lag

[GearsX47]

1. add energy bar, running and rolling will be energy cosming, you can never run and roll permanently, when your energy gauge is empty, you can not run and roll until it is recovered.

2. add some special equipments, for example, like kind of detector, you can detect the enemy behind shelter or hiding in buildings. so the one who want to hide until the time come to end will feel uncomfortble. of course, these equipments are also limited like weapons, you have to compete to pick it.

[Fx Stryker]

added everything i could get from the posts
keep em comin

[bilbob85]

When using AR's every like 20 or 30 rounds could be tracer rounds. this would be handy to show where the enemy are if they had dark maps.

the ability to change your controller setup, this is mainly for the revive. how many times have you gone to pick your DBNO mate and picked up ammo or a rifle that has next to no ammo instead?

[Rtma]

I made a Suggestion with Pyro/Freeze Grenades awhile back so here it is again, Basically the Firebomb Detonates engulfing anyone in flame in the immediate vicinity in a large fireball causing them to burn, the further away you're the less Damage/time you'll burn, tagging an average player would instantly incinerate, cosmetically it would look like a softly glowing orange fluid bubbling inside a transparent casing, Max Allowed 2

The Ice bomb would work similar to an Ink grenade instead of a Toxic cloud it would emit Freezing mist that slow and harm anyone in the cloud also freeze the Terran temporarily that will lose any type of friction while traversing it, the cloud would be somewhat larger then an Ink, last about twice as long but only hurts at around half the damage but would but also twice as fast, tweaking would be done but the same concepts apply, tagging an average player would instantly solidify causing a temporary Ice Shield that would eventually shatter but upon been fired at would chip the sculpture depending on weaponry, cosmetically a cold metallic shell, slightly glowing Blue emitting a Cool mist that sinks, Max allowed 2

Last but certainly not least a Spike Grenade it basically works by exploding launching destructive metal shards in all directions that could server limbs, decapitate, gib and Pin your body to the environment, in close quarters the shards could bounce around causing a Blender effect attaching to a wall would upon detonating in a perpendicular fashion, cosmetically a metallic and Spiky Chunk that resembles the Grenade, no Glow, Max Allowed 4.

Hope you Enjoy my Idea.

[kenny gmang]

NOTE: Fx Stryker...I may have repeat ideas, so just don't include the ones already in there.

Campaign
- For split paths, you should be able to choose either Cole or Baird
-4-player co-op
- When it's the usual 2-man seperation, there should be side missons that let you play Cole and Baird, maybe sometime after campaign completion only.

Multiplayer
-Keep matchmaking, and make MP into the following categories:
+ Horde (Public or Private)
+ Matchmaking (Public ONly)
+ Private Matches (Private or Public, like matchmaking too, but obviously there is less-to-no EXP gain)
- Choose curb stomp animation of your choice as well

- GREAT IDEA: MP / Advanced SP Squad commands
(I have to post this myself)

Horde
- Randomly generated according to wave
- More EXP Gain

Weapon
-IDEA: Butcher's Knife
+ Obvious idea
+ Slow attacks that are 1-hit kills (or downs)
+ RT is a swinging attack (covers more ground, for multiple people), LT+RT is a direct attack (more range, meant for one person)
+ 1-2 executions for it.

Gameplay
- Y is the meatflag button
- X is the curb stomp / execution button
- Holding the direction on the d-pad and pressing X for a special weapon execution

[Triguh]

Mele stun, i made the video.
Shoot after roll.
Sniper registry improved and hip fire made more accurate
Shotgun rate of fire back and consistency improved.
Tourque splash damage decreased
Chainsaw stunned every time when shot.
Servers for Uk and US.
MLG playlist
No ranking system.
Symetrical maps like canals.
Hardcore Gow1 player. GoW2 was ruined.

i need to stop being lazy

[Angra Mainyu]

i thought of a pretty fun pickup weapon. a grenade launcher. It'd basically be like throwing frags (same mechanics), but you would have to reload after every frag (and the active would be hard to get, but if gotten you would fire as fast as you can normally throw grenades) and it has ammo of 4 or 5 grenades. maybe hard aiming would make it shoot like a boom shot but fire slower between rounds and stop your mobility (like a mortar). So it would basically be a gun that shoots grenades how you throw them (if you reload correctly) or shoots grenades with the mechanics of a boomshot, but you have to plant it like a mortar. Imagine how fun it'd be to play matches with the grenade launcher only. and it should be pretty easy to make since its just combinations of pre-existing things in the game.

the way i imagined it is the grenades would be exactly like thrown frags, taking a second to explode, etc. I don't think it'd work with inks. when you L trig it would be exactly like shooting a boomshot, except a grenade would fly out and not a boom bullet (also it should take about as long as a motar to reload). Also if you could get more ammo by picking up frags that'd be cool and would reduce people from tagging so many grenades, plus this would make it easier for a team to blow up other frags. of course movement would be reduced, like walking with a mulcher.

It would go along with many strategies, and would be great for attacking campers with. So imagine a guardian match, the teams would rush it. If a team decides to stay back (say in pavillion) and camp spawn full of tagged frags, the other team with the grenade launcher could stock up on frags. Then they could protect the launcher as he walks over to a good/ close enough angle, then sets down to hard aim. Boom he shoots a grenade behind the doors, it detonates all the planted frags near it with its explosion. The other team can either try and plant more if the opposing team doesn't rush after the grenades have been cleared(and probably get blown up) or they canuse strategy to escape from the cornered position they put themselves in.

wish i could say the same about the knicks
lol funny thing is I'm from New York and still live here. Used to live in the City but I moved to the Burbs to settle down with my Wife. I've always been a Knicks and Lakers fan. Started with LA because Magic Johnson and Kareem used to be my faves, and obviously my love for the Knicks came from growing up in the City. Knicks aren't terrible this Season, but they're still certainly not good. I think they'll improve as time goes on, and I know they're going to pick up some big players this off-season (LeBron and Bosh are definite candidates.) Gallinari is definitely becoming a good player and David Lee has really stepped up (btw he got snubbed from the All Star Game.) Wilson Chandler is also a monster.

Bump..............

[zzhobbit]

Multiplayer: Medals of Honour (100 kills with torque, 100 headshots, 100 Warzone Wins, etc.) these medals would give a chunk of EXP and rather than making an achievement for getting so many kills with a weapon there will be an achievement for getting a group of certain medals (torque, boom, frag)

Weapons: Hybrid/Compromise weapons. For people who really can't decide between boltok or gorgon, lancer or HB there will be a weapon that comprises both aspects without being as strong in any 1 of those areas (this would also stop problems with weapon balance)

Note: I edited my original post (like 23 or 24) and made my original idea clearer. just lettin' ya know

[SQuirrel147]

the sniper needs to register more please epic make it so!!

[zzhobbit]

bump.......................

[Inflamesforever]

I want to see another awsome campain. host migration should be stolen from cod6 as they stole the 3rd person thing sfrom gears. lower level 100 boundries, say about 2 million points and the option to go back down. when thishappens you should get a medal on your gears/ locousts armour to show you have acheived it. definatly no weapon upgrading like in cod. the game should stay fair and based on skill not the gun in your hands. less power on the melee unless a blade is added to a gun like the hammerburst, this should be added because then if your caught up close range in a fight with a hamerburst you have the chance to save yourself. not that you cant anyway but more easilly. also a golden shotgun for the people who have the level 100 achievement in gears 2

[Konskrypt101]

I know it's a total rip from Army of Two: the 40th day, but the ability to have the equipped pistol to defend yourself when you are down but not out while crawling around feels more realistic. I also like how you have to drag your partner to safety before you can revive them, unlike gears where you just touch the downed fellow just to revive them...

[drewmart]

I have loads of ideas, I just seem to have suddenly gone blank :P I'll just list some of the weapon/multiplayer ideas I've had. Keep the campaign the same as the first two, they were both excellent.

Multiplayer

Warzone: Less health when downed. Some power weapons don't respawn*.

Execution: Maybe 10 secs bleed out time. Remove the ablility to be killed at a distance when downed, like Gears 1. This would help speed up the gameplay a bit. Some power weapons don't respawn.*

Guardian: If the leader kills a player, that player cannot respawn.

Annex: Make sure the starting position is neutral every time. Bring back warzone rules. Maybe 30 seconds between each hill. Use the Wingman spawns.

KotH: Make sure the starting position is neutral every time. Use Wingman spawns.

Submission: Scrap this entirely and add a more conventional 1 flag / 2flag gametype. Use a combination of wingman and standard spawns. Add a time limit as well.

Wingman: Tweak the starting positions a little, some are unbalanced (eg, open spawn on Avalanche). Power weapons don't respawn.

All: Add a 15/20 minute time limit on Guardian, Annex, KotH and Submission. In Warzone and Execution frags don't respawn, and only ammo respawns for the power weapons, so you'd have to pick one up first.

Ranked: Re-introduce trueskill, but do it 1-50/1-100 per playlist. XP is gained at a normal rate, bots or not. An MLG playlist would be extremely nice. As well as 'hardcore' gametypes, like warzone/execution with no downs and less health.

Public: Same as Gears 1 Player matches. XP is gained at a half rate, with %'s taken off for bots and guests in the game. No match winning bonuses.

Private+Public: More customization - Ragdoll, weapon ammo's, invite-only option, host boot, etc.

Weapons

Hammerburst: This gun is pretty balanced now, maybe a slight stopping power decrease, and a decrease in the damage done with an active.

Lancer: Reduction of stopping power, the damage is fine.

Chainsaw: Add a fuel guage, and let any little bit of damage stop the revving.

Snub: Increase the damage slightly and let us pop heads with it again. Most importantly, fix the issue with the gun being so poor on a bad connection.

Boltok: The damage with an active is fine, as is the ablility to pop heads. It is a revolver after all. Reduce the fire rate with an active reload though.

Gorgon: An active reload should increase the fire rate slightly, that's about it.

Sniper: Fix the headshot hit detection in high latency matches. Make an active body shot do 99% damage, a normal body shot around 90%.

Torque Bow: Lower the splash damage slightly, but it's ok as is. It feels like it has loads of aim assist on host though, but maybe it's just the connection.

Boomshot: Fine the way it is now.

Scorcher: Lower the range slightly and add a small DoT.

Boomshield: Fix the hit detection, 90% of the time hitting someone's flesh will do no damage.

Mortar+Mulcher: Can we please remove these from ranked at least? All they do is promote camping.

Frags: A longer beep when they are planted would be nice. They also seem to have a really odd radius off-host as well, I've had a few really odd kills with them.

Ink: They're fine as they are.

Hammer of Dawn: It seems to randomly stop and start. I have to admit I rarely is this gun though, so maybe I'm just unlucky. Hopefully only have it on very few maps though, as it promotes camping and spawn killing. Reduce the ammo to 3-4 shots in Warzone, Execution and Wingman.

Hammerburst V1: Debuff it slightly and add it as an option to choose at the start of a match.

Shotgun: Just look at the shotgun thread, I'm in so many minds as to how to handle this gun, I'm sure the devs know what they are doing.

Universal

Increase the movement speed back to Gears 1 and remove the delay for shots only from roadie run and roll.

The melee has too big an arc and too long a range. I like the damage it does now though, look at the gears for god's sake, two punches from them would knock anyone down.

The ranking system. There is now 'perfect' way to do this. CoD doesn't show skill, Halo promotes second accounts. An xp system combined with trueskill woud be ideal, but with no requirement for more than, say, high skill 25 for the highest rank, so it should be achieveable for anyone who plays enough. Keep the xp the same as this game, but add actual ranks, not numbers. Some unlockables would be nice, like armour to customize your cog or locust, or gamerpics, avatar gear or flashy emblems in-game. Nothing that directly dictates gameplay though.


Thanks to anyone who reads this. If you want to know why I proposed something just ask, i didn't really want this to be huge. Sorry about the improper formatting btw, I'll fix it when I get the chance.

EDIT: I also strongly support the idea for medals and challenges. Things like getting a sniper/torque headshot, double kills, killing every enemy in Warzone/Execution. Medals would have no xp attached to them, but they would go towards challenges which would have xp. Challenges would be like having 1000 shotgun kills, or 1000 rounds played.

I also like the idea of everyone having little logo's or a profile by their name, which appears when you click on it. Maybe they could showcase some of the photo's they have taken or something like that. Emblems could be pretty much anything, from getting badges/medals etc, to competing in a Gears event. Special ones for those who played Gears 1/2, or have specific achievements, like Veteran Gear or 'Seriously'. Maybe even being in the top 1000 for a gametype one week or completing the campaign on Insane.

I would write something on Horde but I don't really play it that much, it just gets kinda boring for me personally. I would like to see some variety though, like random scripted events happening (if you have ever played Section 8, exactly like the DCM's from that), and maybe special areas of maps would open up for Horde. And enough with the same 10 levels repeating over and over again, it makes getting to 50 feel like a chore, not a challenge.

[yalnif]

nice post, but i didn't read it haha! btw SHO7GUN ordered new tv so i will be able to get on when i want sometime next week.


also i had a small idea


scorcher - have it like the troika, unlimmited ammo but you have to do the RB thing to cool it down

[Fx Stryker]

ok i edited it

@zzhobbit thanks for letting me know you updated an earlier post

@drewmart you dont mind that i added your post as a link in the other section, if you would rather me edit throughout the subtopics i have no problem just say so

[ohaimynameiserik]

find a way to make horde not waves 1-10 over and over.

better boss fights in campaign.

NO DRIVING SEQUENCES. and if there is 1, polish the balls off of that and make it to where it's like the brumak. it's nearly impossible to die and you get to destroy EVERYTHING. that's fun. driving with crappy controls on breaking ice is not.

in multiplayer incorporate a matchmaking system that lets you join or quit games as you please, with the penalty of quitting being that you don't get any xp you've earned.

this is basically the CoD matchmaking... I hate CoD but their matchmaking WORKS

seeing as experience is what dictates your rank now, this should be harmless. i don't have all the time in the world to play, sometimes i have to get off the xbox.

perhaps the original HB as a starting weapon.

at least 4 NEW playable characters on BOTH teams. (some legit new locust, not the standard drone with a different helmet on).

i wanna leave it up to epic though as to what new weapons or gametypes they'll introduce.

[Angra Mainyu]

horde:

large boss fights IN HORDE
make them HARD

[Frosty]

More choices of starter weapons aka variable choice of starting rifle and shotgun.

Variable shotguns,machineguns.

Each have a pro and con, each have benefits the others dont. A.k.a faster shooting speed longer reload time, less ammo per clip, slower movement vice versa.
Making sure none has a flaw or glitch that can be exploited.

[Mr PresidentX]

Multiplayer

FEEL FREE TO CRITIQUE AND CHANGE IDEAS WHERE YOU SEE FIT. I PUT A YEAR OF THOUGHT INTO THIS BUT TYPED THIS IN ABOUT AN HOUR SO BE PATIENT WITH ME THANKS! =)

NOT ALL OF THESE IDEAS WILL BE GOOD IDEAS, BUT FIND THE ONES YOU THINK WOULD WORK OR COULD BE SHAPED TO WORK

-Customizable starting weapons. For left and right slots: Shotgun, lancer, hammerburst, longshot. For pistol: Gorgon, boltok, snub. For grenades just keep smokes.

-Levels should transfer over from gears of War 2 with the option to prestige. TruSkill ranks should be in this game and they should be placed to the right of your EXP level. TruSkill ranks should go up to level 10. (Basically you see both)

-In your stats that other players see after a match, it should say how many players you play with on average (party up with before searching for a match) It should also say how many times you have hosted out of your total games played. Based on your playstyle you should be titles (Marksman, Support Gunner, [Wall] Bouncer, Commander, ETC)

-Customizable characters and weapons. You should be able to customize a COMPLETELY UNIQUE COG and locust for multiplayer. Killing players should give you points to spend on different looking armor, tattoos and weapons. All of the weapons will have the same effect they will just look different (to show status). If you get enough kills with a weapon you can unlock extra starting ammo for your weapon of choice.

-Create a clan option. Make it official so nobody can take your clan tag. Allow for clan logos to appear on customized COG or LOCUST armor.

-Clan Match Gametype. You must have 5 members from your clan to enter the matchmaking lobby for this Gametype. The number 1 clan will receive cash bonuses (see below) for outstanding performances.

-Multiplayer public lobby Instead of watching a screen look for players, you play as a character in a virtual lobby. You can enter a horde lobby, a free for all lobby, or simply a chatting lobby. These will have up to 30 players. Imagine being in a COG base with a bunch of other players. You can choose to fool around and kill each other while waiting to get into a game. A message would pop up on your screen and ask if you would like to join the match. You would never have to stare at boring loading screens and you could hang out and make new friends here to party up with. There would be a CHAPS store here where you could buy different looking armor (and all armor would fit the look of the gears universe) The points you get from killing other players becomes a currency for the store in this lobby.

-Bronze, sliver, gold, platinum, and ???? color progression for weapon achievements. For example, platinum longshot skil becomes available after 10,000 headshots including 30 blindfires and 300 no-scopes. =)

Campaign

-Some legit scary moments. Gears 2 was not scary enough for me. It was awesome, but not actually scary.

-Please handle the third carmine well. Don't simply do the predictable BADASS CLAY CARMINE WHO DOESN'T DIE AND SAVES THE DAY IN HONOR OF HIS FALLEN BROTHERS! This would be boring and cheesy. If he does kick ass that is great but please don't make it predictable.

-Add multiplayer into the campaign. "WHAT?" you might say. What i mean is besides 5 players co-op, I would like to see other players fighting in battles off in the distance. I want to feel submerced in a world full of other cog players using their own customized COG soldiers that will transfer over to multiplayer.

-Throw in some Kryll and Berzerkers into the mix but make it unexpected, short and sweet.

Horde

-Vary the waves.

-Horde specific maps.

-Better map selection

-Replace players who leave

Character

-All characters from past games. Add a girl character or two.

-Add in a taunt button

-Character specific executions

Weapons

-Balance the torque bow

-Add general RAAM’s knife thing. It works just like the chainsaw except it shoots nothing. Replaces pistol.

-No chainsawing the boom shield

-Fix corner sniping

Gameplay

-Make a map where everything is pitch black (bullet marsh will come to mind except even darker) You only have a flashlight to find other players. You can’t see anything without the flashlight. (Night vision scopes on lancer and sniper)

-1v1 gametype

-2v2 gametype

-Keep all other gametypes as 5v5

-Add player matches with complete customization. I should be able to make my longshot rapid fire if I want to in a private match. None of the stats should be recorded for private matches.

-MLG playlist. The most important thing for this playlist is that MLG agrees to the rules and that you don’t see teams of 5 people working together going up against randoms. If you join as a party of 5, you must play against a party of 5. Otherwise it would be unfair.

-Host Migration is a must.

-Popshotting should deal more damage

Other

-Lag switching and bridging need to be fixed.

-Multiplayer Beta is necessary


Appologies for any bad grammar or spelling

WTF!!!! iF U WANT TO UNLOCK GUNS.. GO TO PLAY CALL OF DUTY DUDE....

[Mr PresidentX]

"jeanpaul: unlockables as you level up - Ex: gears,guns,execution style,badges or even taunts"

WTF!!!! iF U WANT TO UNLOCK GUNS.. GO TO PLAY CALL OF DUTY DUDE....

1st:I hear this a lot from people and I just don't get it. Why should Call of Duty be the game that gets all of the unlockables and customization? If I were to go and play call of duty right now I would get bored because I simply don't like the gameplay that much. Of course gameplay should always come first for Gears and now that Epic has the fundamental combat down, they should start working on all the goodies. That would truly make Gears of War 3 the game to beat.

2nd: Unlocking cheap guns is probably what you are afraid of. Epic could keep all the guns the same and just change the way they look. That way you could have fun customizing but not worry about cheap guns.

none of that ever in my threads

[PiNoiZ]

i personally think tht gears 3 in multiplayer should be more lik gears 1, i mean seriously if a shotgun shell frm 3 inchs away doesnt kill u, thts pretty ridiculous, but i think some of the gears 2 concepts we shud keep, lik the new hammerburst, new executions, and new party search system. other than tht u cud add:
1.lik custom armor "not to effect ur health or anything just to look different frm everyone else like halo 3"
2. Flashback Characters, lik Pendulum wars versions of Marcus, Tai, Bernie, Dom, Carlos, Helenda Stroud, Hoffman, and PW Armor COG Soldiers
3. Flashback Lancer, not really a big deal itd just be interestin to use a lancer wit a bayonett, and u can make it dif frm the current Lancer by still auto, more recoil, but stronger bullets, and holds less ammo. And encorporate the combat knife somehow, cuz most cogs/locust have one, but theyre just kind of there for show.
4. Meat shields, love the concept once i heard of it, but i thot it was gonna be u as the meat shield immobile, lik u were downed, and if ur team killed/down the guy holdin u, u wud b downed, see cuz the current system, since ur already dead, nothin stops ur teammates frm just tearin tht dude up, so its kinda pointless, if it wud be ur teammate was alive hed hav to either sacrafice u, or he cud find a way to kill the guy usin u as a shield, for example a smoke cuz knock the enemy down, and ud be downed and ur team cud pick u up
5. they should make the longshot stronger, i mean seriously it takes too many shot to down a guy, i mean im happy 1 active dont down u, but it takes lik 2 actives, and a nonactive to down somebody now, i mean it only takes 3 boltok shots to down somebody, and u get more than one shot in a clip, so besides the long range aspect of the longshot, if ur frm close to mid range, id rather hav a boltok
for Campaign tho there are alot of things theu could do to make it interesting:
1. Do kind of lik "flashback" chapters, playin in battles frm the books ya kno? lik Aspho Fields, u can play as PW marcus, and if u hav a 2nd player they could be Tai or Bernie, since Dom is a commando, and in a seperate mission and u can try to save carlos inevitably seeing him die. U can also see wen marcus leaves his post for his dad, and clips of his trial. or better being emergence day, and how the world seemed so much better now tht the pendulum wars is over.
2.obviously see how Adam Fenix fits into the whole Locust Story.
3. show the new COG stronghold, vectes, and see how the stranded play a part in the struggle of survival.
4.if the locust do come back, and even if it is just the Lambent, u shud reintroduce Berserkers, cuz they kinda just dissapeared.
5. explain the sires, they hav tht chapter where they attack, u survive, and never to be seen again.
6. if the rumors do come true about the RPG theme, which i hope it doesnt, it shud be a side thing lik a seperate campaign, kinda lik frm the eyes of a random COG soldier in the new stonghold, and u jus kinda wut witness the benefits of what marcus and dom end up doing

aitte so tell me wut ya think... whether positive or negative feedback idc

1st:I hear this a lot from people and I just don't get it. Why should Call of Duty be the game that gets all of the unlockables and customization? If I were to go and play call of duty right now I would get bored because I simply don't like the gameplay that much. Of course gameplay should always come first for Gears and now that Epic has the fundamental combat down, they should start working on all the goodies. That would truly make Gears of War 3 the game to beat.

2nd: Unlocking cheap guns is probably what you are afraid of. Epic could keep all the guns the same and just change the way they look. That way you could have fun customizing but not worry about cheap guns.

that's not what was said. it just said "guns". i wouldn't want someone i'm against having an advantage over me because he's a higher rank.

however making your starting weapons look different would be alright. just so long as it isn't anything to upgrade your gun.

multiplayer:

This is just an idea. i am not sure all the details as to how it could be implemented, but here goes.

I imagine it would be before a match, you can choose either rifle or shotgun specialty.

Choosing the rifle specialty would give you gears 2 stopping power, gears 2 melee with the hammer burst, and unlimited chainsaw (if its implemented), and maybe a very slight damage boost

Choosing the shotgun specialty would give you faster movement (more like gears 1), and the gears 2 shotgun, but a gas gauge for your chainsaw (if implemented)

There should also be a default option which is everything as it is now in gears 2 (with a slight reduction in stopping power and meele effectiveness)

The specialty you choose would also let you start out with an extra clip in the weapon.

(this is also assuming the gears 2 shotgun is given an equal spread/damage for every aiming type)
Everything else is the same. (maybe rifle specialists get 1 extra bullet for torque/sniper)
You can't change in the middle of the match or inbetween rounds. Its picked just like your character and starting weapon.

It would promote more teamwork, and allow everyone to play how they like.
thoughts?

the option to enable/disable cringe or ragdoll smokes in private games.

Try to keep your ideas reasonable and please do not post useless things "hit detection", "fix host", "shotty broken", "game lags its BS".

im pretty sure they're aware of that

1.) Detailed XP and stat breakdowns. A nice "barracks" type area that's accessible at any time in the main menu to view your multiplayer stats and XP progress would be wonderful, instead of briefly at the end of a match.

2.) Unlockables for each character, i.e armor pieces. If I get "x" amount of kills or headshots with A. Carmine, maybe I can unlock a helmet variant? Small pieces to distinguish the level of players and add a third dimension to playing for countless hours. It's always nice to work towards the one unlockable that everyone wants. Replay value indeed!

3.) "Forge" level creator. The ability for our community to design maps to upload/download across Xbox Live using pre-set pieces provided, along with a weather editor, terrain editor, etc.

I also strongly suggest multiplayer to be on its own disc, separate from the campaign. Only horde and multiplayer on a separate disc to provide space for such improvements.

When i tag someone with the ink grenade they should die but not right away give it like two seconds when a person is down so that way if u got a buddy close by (that is willing to save ur butt) he can but if no one is around u should die the frag kills u why not the ink?

i agree with u 100% the unlockables would make multiplayer more interesting and the detailed ranking would be better if u cant glitch it up

[TxSIZZx15]

also if they brought back weapon acheivements that would be sumthin else to do in multiplayer

[Teh Hermit]

KingRaven 3-6 to be a bigger character in the game, shes the badass kr thats seems to be experienced heli pilot. More officers than the fricken colonel and that nameless guy...

Honestly its like the colonel is running the army how daft, but generally alot more characters(including a female cog for mulitplayer). A multiplayer with option to disable weapons you dont like (shotgun anyone) and matches with tanks vs reavers or a landown match locust must stop cog reaching landown would be awesome.

Little stupid things for me is maybe dom using his knife to gut a grub, a boomer/grinder or a normal grub headbutting a cog lol =P

A cog weapon to rival the boomshot, a horde mode where you play as the locust fighting wave after wave of cogs(would need a high variety of designed cogs)

Less range on that fricken gnasher, I got killed by one half way across the map.... lame!

More sound clips for mulitplayer, cog creation or customization.
Play as different characters in campaign mode.

I want Gears of War 1 with stopping power.
None of this tagging frags on the wall BS (maybe increase the detonation time if it is to be kept in the game)
I want the old HB.
Improve Horde somehow. Maybe 50 unique waves.
I want 4v4. It seemed like most of the Gears 2 maps were designed with only 4v4 in mind.

[iReclaim]

Reversed Horde...? Play as Locusts and hold off the COGs?

For Multiplayer - Add a kick option and invite only option for private matches...

Thanks

They really should have a ranking system that doesn't take for effing ever to rank up on. Also the Seriously 2.0 achievement is so not even worth the time. To get 100,000 kills would be to play gears all of the time and for what? only 50G. It should be at least 75G if they were to keep the 100,000. Maybe even 100G. Loll.

i enjoy your input
any idea though

Dedicated servers is a must.
This game needs to be on 360... Not next gen.

Going back to Gears 1 is improving. I know I bought Gears 2 and played like 50 matches when it came out and only came back when they increased the shotgun RoF.
I also added other suggestion in addition to my go back to Gears 1.

Why are dedicated servers a must?
Halo 2,Halo 3,Cod 4,Cod 5,Cod 6,Gears 1, Gears 2 and almost every other console game are doing just fine without them.
