How often does Epic read these forums?

[Porshapwr]

We don't really know.


That said, it has been almost ALL positive votes on this lately. We dropped down below 82% at one point and are now almost back to 82.5%. With the number of votes, that's quite a large variation. :D

Epic say they really listen there fans.

Obviously, its all commercial propaganda.

I don't totally agree with this. They problem they have is that they don't communicate to us any of the things they are working on or looking into. They may in fact be working on a new game mode, but we'll never hear about it until just before they are ready to release it. Guardian is a good example of this.

[LilChris7897]

Deff. got my vote !

[Porshapwr]

We're soon going to have more views than any other thread in the Multiplayer Forum - even more than any stickied thread. :D

[HanSolo2187]

For a change of pace, I popped in Halo 3 the other night and played a game of Oddball and had great fun with it. Got me thinking about doing something like this with Gears 3. Instead of a skull, they could use the a cleaver or a small light-mass bomb that you have to capture and hold onto for 60 seconds. When you are holding the object, you can't shoot your weapons, but you can melee' with it, doing massive damage.

I know this isn't CTF, but its another game mode that I think would work well with Gears 3. Obviously, the biggest change to having this mode is that it isn't a team game, but a Free-For-All type mode.

[Porshapwr]

I'm a Halo fanatic so I'm biased but one thing Halo does right is variety. Due to the game being a Sandbox design, it's very easy for them to often change game modes, maps, placements of vehicles/weapons, etc.... Every time I play there is something new to try out.

Gears could truly benefit from more variety. They took a good step with weekend playlists but they usually aren't much beyond simple weapon changes. In that sense, the unreal engine seems to inhibit them quite a bit.

[Porshapwr]

Few more positive votes and almost ALL positive in the past week or two. Approval rate keeps going up and we're closing in on 100,000 views. :D

Course they don't. They keep people on the edge, keep people playing Gears hoping for an announcement of, in this case, CTF. If they said "oh we're working on a new game mode it'll be out in a few months" many people would just f*ck off and come back later lol

[Fupaz]

Sorry guys. Been on a vacation for a couple of days, but don't worry, cause I'll always be supporting this thread. Hope Epic looks into it, and good luck on the views and the poll.

I think Epic is capable of putting it in Gears 3, but if they do come out with a Gears 4, this had better be in it! Lol

I walked into our gaming room the other day and my two boys were playing Halo multi flag. I just stood there dreaming that those halo guys were Cog and Locust battling for that flag................

How many people you think would play CTF over Guardian? My guess is CTF

[Porshapwr]

Honestly, the only modes I would play in Gears going forward would be Guardian and CTF.

Even better, the percentage that favor it to not continues to increase. As I've said before, I'm not sure I've seen such overwhelming positive support for a game mode suggestion before.

It just goes to show as I thought in the OP, CTF is a classic, LOVED game type for competitive multiplayer. ;)

It would be awesome in Gears 3, if they sorted the lag out. I cannot actually play because I am unable to wallbounce strafe effectively or even know approximately how much damage my opponent is taken

Man, that's ridiculous. Although, I live in the central US with some of the best internet you can buy, and I will still get sponging like mad in some matches. It's pretty sad honestly that in 5 years of Gears this still happens.

Yeah me too. Then again I don't always buy what the TW says is my speed as it isn't always as good as they claim. Especially if using another speed test out there. Still, it's way better than I had for Gears 2 and 1 and should be better than most and I still get what you mentioned. What can you do?

[HanSolo2187]

I still think that the core elements are already there for Epic to implement this. Use a cleaver as the flag and put a ring in each team's spawn that they need to bring the cleaver back to and hold there for 10s. Seems very straightforward to me. The bigger issue they are probably struggling with is tying CTF to another gametype in order to give credit for medals, ribbons, achievements, etc. Personally, I don't care about those things and I think most people would forego those things in order to gain a new gametype.

Should add new medals and make an achievement called "Seriously 3.5" or something maybe

[ROCKMAGIQ]

I once heard of someone talking about this CTF idea,
And he came up with "Capture The Cleaver".
Which sounds pretty cool, because firstly you can move faster with a Cleaver rather than with a Meatshield (CTL),
and also you can only defend yourself with the Cleaver when picked up, rather than with a weapon which kinda ads a balance to it.
So you would have to sacrifice your Rifle and Shotgun when holding the Cleaver.
Respawns in Gow3 are not the best, but I feel it can somehow work with KOTH spawns, because it being very random at times. Because I think with spawns like TDM has, it may be pretty easy to get a cap.

Just an idea, tell me what you guys think :)

Yeah we had this idea before, it could also add to the "unique" gametypes that Epic likes to have so bad. But either way with a cleaver or flag would be fine by me. As long as it has the same concept as a true CTF game type to where you have to go into the enemy base and steal crap

They brought back Guardian....Think before you say something, because Epic is completely capable of bringing CTF into Gears

[ChocolateBacon]

Epic should stop putting "a gears twist on it" and just give us a true CTF gamemode.

Come on, Epic! Do it!!

[DarkNinja]

I think Epic can do it. But it can take a long time though. Remember,it is a entire new mode. Unless they use the same system as CTL which in case everyone can see each other which would make CTF even more intense.

[Porshapwr]

Being capable and Epic management allowing the production and funding to do it are two completely different things. You always have to look at it from a business perspective.

[HanSolo2187]

Being capable and Epic management allowing the production and funding to do it are two completely different things. You always have to look at it from a business perspective.Well, that is exactly the perspective I was taking with my comment. All of the animations are done if a cleaver is used as the "flag". This greatly reduces the amount of work/programming/modelling/etc. that has to be done. If they had to create a "flag", as well as corresponding animations for all characters to grab/swing/execute with a true flag; then this would require a lot more time, effort and money on their part.

I like the idea of a cap kinda game but it needs to be something hardcore, this is gears. Half the world got flamed by the HoD, who would give a **** about some cloth on a stick. I'm thinking capture the leaking imulsion barrels. everyone needs fuel. leaking trail helps teams without "flag" to locate

Think you gotta be realistic tho. It probably wont work for several reasons. Not least of all is where to spawn. cant spawn in enemies base coz thats fubar. cant spawn too close or too far from the flag coz that aint fair, cant spawn in same place everytime coz you will get camped to bits. most maps only support 4-6 spawn locations. most of which wont work. lotta coding there jsut to spawn.
on top of that most maps would be too small. Raven Down could no way support a CTF game type

In terms of what you're capturing, it doesn't really have to be realistic. You don't think Gears characters actually run around trying to stand in invisible rings do you? It's a GAME.

As for your concerns about spawning and map size, they've been discussed at length throughout the thread (some of which I put in the OP). Feel free to read through but I think you'll find answers to *most* of the concerns. :)

[LambentHammerburst]

CTF would be nice to see in GoW3
However it will NOT work due to how the maps are designed. On many maps a team would have a complete advantage as the ones defending their flag have more cover.
Games would end in stalemates pretty much every time.

Now if they made CTF but with new maps designed specifically for it - 100% support.

[Fupaz]

Crazy idea guys! If Epic does decide to make another DLC, they could make it a skorge themed one. Make it to where skorge comes back, along with CTF. And when playing CTF, a normal flag could be replaced with the chainsaw staff that Skorge used in Gears 2. And you can only use it's chainsaw to kill people when holding the flag. I thought it would be a good idea.

[Porshapwr]

That is a crazy idea..................I like it. :p

[LambentHammerburst]

They could make a separate DLC for it.
Which they wouldn't do, the work involved isn't worth end result.
They would make maps that work in EVERY gametype and not just one.

@Vancouva - That would result in over half the maps not being included. Not something Epic would do. If it was a map or two - sure.

Trashball - Works but would be WAY too easy to defend. Would end in stalemates every time.
Blooddrive - See Trashball
Rustlung - See Trashball + The Silverback would be the I WIN button.
Mercy - team with the cellar has clear advantage with defending.
Drydock - team that spawns in Cargo has move cover and blindspots (for corner camping) and the Security Trailer vs the WIDE open Pier spawn.
Sandbar - team that spawns in Caves has advantage with defending. They are protected from HoD and Boomshot whereas other flag is out in open.
Old Town - Team that spawns up top has advantage. High ground.
Overpass - Team that has the turret above their spawn are at a clear disadvantage. Can spawn trap with teammates easily by using it.
Clocktower - Works, however there's only one path into it. Meaning it would be too easy to defend (stalemates)
Academy - Library spawn is much easier to defend. Protected from Boomshot due to roof and has more cover.
Depths - Train spawn has defending advantage. 2 small doors is easily protected by ONE person (I've clutched this map many times by camping there).
Escalation - Way too many reasons to list.
The Slab - Team that spawns outside has HUGE defending advantage. The other spawn is just a death trap - toss a nade into each corner and everyone is dead.
Raven Down - too fast paced and small. There would be huge spawning trapping issues (as the spawns wouldn't swap as if they did - you'd spawn on their flag).

This is 14 maps that wouldn't work.
That's over 1/2 the maps.


Also the BIGGEST issue with CTF mode.
Spawn trapping.
Spawns wouldn't swap because of the flag. This would mean players would spawn in the same spot over and over.
Enemy grabs flag - oh look a player spawns beside him and is invincible.
Remove spawn protection - game will turn into spawn trap fest with nade plants and all.
Have players get Wingman spawns - now you have players spawning in middle of battlefield - easy targets. Also not to mention - flag runner, invincible player spawns in his path.

LambentHammerburst is kinda telling the truth, but I highly doubt we'd get a brand new playlist for Gears 3 anyway. This is more likely for a new game, especially with the number of supporters

CTF isn't something you can just add. It has to be part of the map design.
They could do a DLC for it that includes maps specifically made for it (and they would work in other gametypes too). However for the playlist to survive they would have to keep adding maps or you'd be playing the same 4-5 maps over and over. Epic is pretty much done with DLC for Gears honestly. They only have one mentioned; but even it isn't officially announced (meaning can be cancelled anytime like Exile). On top of that they said it was campaign based - meaning like R.S. - probably no MP maps included.

They never said there was campaign DLC. People just thought that because of what Cliffy B said. I can't see a campaign DLC, only flashback maps and some characters

[Porshapwr]

I said a long time ago in this thread that this is likely an idea that hopefully at the very least will show Epic the WANT for a true capture the flag for future Gears games.

They COULD add it to Gears 3 but could and will are very different things.

Apparently you didn't read what you quoted me on. I acknowledged that idea and said why they wouldn't do that. It's too much work for minimal effect. Making a map specifically for CTF is great, however it really downplays gameplay when used in other gametypes.

Go play UT and Quake 3 in TDM/DM on the CTF maps. They work; but are NOTHING compared to ones specifically designed for CTF.
You need maps specifically made for CTF like I said, but why would Epic make maps for ONE gametype when they are presently making maps that work on:
TDM/Warzone/Execution/Guardian/CTL/KoTH/Wingman

Go play UT and Quake 3 in TDM/DM on the CTF maps. They work; but are NOTHING compared to ones specifically designed for CTF.
You need maps specifically made for CTF like I said, but why would Epic make maps for ONE gametype when they are presently making maps that work on:
TDM/Warzone/Execution/Guardian/CTL/KoTH/Wingman

On top of that I did reply to what I quoted you on:
Which they wouldn't do, the work involved isn't worth end result.
They would make maps that work in EVERY gametype and not just one.


Well, it seemed like making a new DLC with CTF designed maps was a good idea whenever you posted it. So to me it seemed like you didn't read my post at all, because at one point it sounded like you didn't like the idea, then saying it was a good idea to add CTF designed maps.

CTF as DLC would be the only good way of doing it. However doing it itself isn't worth the time/effort by Epic as they can instead make 5 maps that work in all the existing gametypes instead of just one. That was my overall point.

[Porshapwr]

Unreal is not a good comparison in terms of map size. Movement speed and mutators make the game COMPLETELY different to Gears.

[>I Am Legend<]

Debates getting heated lol. Who knows what the future holds but if this is to happen in a future gears game then we are talking years lol.

[Porshapwr]

Morning fellas. Time to make this the #1 viewed thread in the entire Gears 3 Multiplayer forum. :D

[Lambent Lucky]

I think this is a good point and could be very fun.

Good Morning...................................almost there as the #1 viewed thread in multiplayer. ;)

[Porshapwr]

Forum was down again. I'm guessing they have to keep upgrading to support the awesomeness of the CTF idea.

[>I Am Legend<]

Bump, I actually don't think this will happen for gears 3 now but maybe a future game. Wish we could get it for gears 3 though.

[Porshapwr]

Yep - hopefully Epic has seen the potential for a future Gears game. Given the timelines of the Xbox Next and game development, I'm REALLY hoping for the Xbox Next to launch in late 2013 with Forza 5 and Gears Prequel.

Bump for justice and eternal glory!!!!!!!!!!!

Bump! All I see is money and happy faces lol.

[a guy]

make the flag usable like the cleaver but move a little slower thats the only way i see this being even a little playable
i still think it would be just as useless a CTL or guardian if not more

[Porshapwr]

As useless as Guardian? You mean the 2nd most played game type in Gears 2?

[S3rv3b0t]

It should be capture the Thrashball, and players fight for the thrashball on the map and have to run it to the goal on the opposite ends of the map. At least with it being a thrashball instead of a flag it stays more gears related.

There are already balls on some of the maps, just make them an object that can be picked up. Maybe whenever a user holding the ball swings at an enemy it will knock the player you hit back like a mantle kick to give you time to try and evade??

[Nevermind1982]

Did I already post in here to say I support this? Just in case I didin't:

I SUPPRT THIS!

[bunneeHOP]

Great idea! At least it's still themed to the Gears of War universe. Thumbs up to this. :cool:

Very good idea and others have mentioned Thrashball as well. I agree with the melee but feel there should be a way to kill someone as the ball/flag carrier. Otherwise a simple stun won't work as they'll just down you (rifle damage) immediately after.

[a guy]

As useless as Guardian? You mean the 2nd most played game type in Gears 2? and 2nd most useless gears 3 gametype

[Porshapwr]

Well I don't agree but that's neither here nor there. It's obvious the overwhelming majority want this game mode and have for some time now.

[>I Am Legend<]

Bump, come on!!!!!!! More DLC with this mode!!!!!

[Porshapwr]

Keep it goin fellas - only a couple votes from 1,100. :D

Maybe you could still have use of your pistol?

It could be like a playable version of campaign Cole Train in Act 1 at the Thrashball Stadium.

[Om1NUs]

I think this was actually being considered by QUINN.

[>I Am Legend<]

I was watching halo ctf on twitch tv, an mlg player was playing and it was pretty exciting, i just wished it was possible to add now as a dlc.

[Porshapwr]

I love Halo CTF. And all signs point to Halo 4 CTF being utterly amazing (they are putting a strong focus on objective gametypes).

But that's neither here nor there. Let's keep it going!

Yeah, CTF is great but not a halo player lol, I guess it isn't my type of game.

[Porshapwr]

Very different from Gears. I love them both. But I think CTF could be amazing in both games (it is in Halo).

Anyone ever considered my idea for a unique CTF mode. Having Skorge come back and instead of flags being placed at spawns, the chainsaw staff that he used in Gears 2. And you can only use it close range

[>I Am Legend<]

bump baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the sickest shiz I have ever heard. Better than my idea.

[Porshapwr]

That's how we do fellas - 1,100 votes on the MP forum.

[DaRkNeSs]

1101 supporters actually...

[Dead Cell Raam]

You got this guys support *1102

[DaRkNeSs]

Let's hope that in the next Gears game (yes EPIC, you are making one) that they implement CTF and we can run with our flags proudly :D

[Kryll!]

A CTF game might work... would be kind of cool if you could execute people with the flag also!

Something for Gears 4 hopefully...

[Porshapwr]

And there it is fellas - we are now the #1 most viewed thread in all the Gears 3 Multiplayer forum; even above all the stickied threads.

Now comon Epic. Help us get this up so we don't all feel like this:

See above. :D

[Porshapwr]

If this thread was on the main gears section, it would have had near 2000 supporters, ask a mod if you can move it there Porsha.

[HalfShell]

I laugh at the people who say Epic is actually concerned with what goes on here. The result of this will probably be determined by some unannounced Facebook poll.

[>I Am Legend<]

Bumpity bumpy.

Yeah it would. The main Gears volume has a LOT more volume than this section does but I was trying to be responsible. lol

[>I Am Legend<]

Yeah it would. The main Gears volume has a LOT more volume than this section does but I was trying to be responsible. lol

Lol the main gears forum has 1.5 million plus posts and this multiplayer section has less than 300,000, that's the difference lol.
Did you pm a mod if they could move this there? Would seriously benefit the thread.

[Millions Dying]

I was originally going to say no, but then I read on...wow...
THAT is a good idea! I'd definitely play it and, who knows, maybe it would get more players than TDM (wishful thinking ;))

[>I Am Legend<]

No doubt that. In every game that has TDM it tops player numbers. People just love a basic just kill with no objectives mode. Isn't a bad thing, I like TDM aswell but it isn't my fav.

[>I Am Legend<]

Where is the bumps? No more love to this thread?

[Porshapwr]

I'm lovin it.

Hey, stop promoting McDonalds lol.

Guess who's back....Back again....Fupaz is back.....from vacation

[Porshapwr]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah - keep the party going.

Welcome back, yeah they said it will be released in the next dlc........................PSYCH!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA. I wish it was though.

[TH3 ZomBifiieD]

The Game Mechanics don't support a smooth implementation of this unfortunately. It sounds like a fun alternative gametype, but seems rather unlikely due to the amount of work it would take to code...

We have only a very small team keeping up with Gears 3 over at Epic games at this point in the first place.

[Bspencer]

I voted yes, but I can foresee issues if it is added with the present game affects. And if the 1st response post were to give a better argument for a bomb gametype, I'd consider it as well.

Whay? You sound like an Epic employee.

[Porshapwr]

Almost at 83%. It keeps on climbing. :)

[KeeferLbc]

Epic I'm pretty sure the game mechanics wouldn't be hard....if u did with other series of games u could do it with gears 3 plain and simple...put it as a dlc

[Fupaz]

Bump for justice!

[KoS Killshot]

This is well thought out and i love it. It would be one of the best, maybe THE best gametype in gears.

[LilDeadBoy23]

Flag Pole = Cleaver.

Nice, I'm in definite support OP ^-^

[Porshapwr]

Welcome to the winning team. :D

[OneShot]

they had a game type like that in gears 2. it ws submission, u had 2 capture a stranded who had a shotgun and take him to a specific location. there ws only one standed 4 both teams... EPIC!!!!

[Fupaz]

Flag Pole = Cleaver.

Nice, I'm in definite support OP ^-^

Even better would be

Flag Pole = Skorge's chainsaw staff

[dowhatican]

Hated CTF in cod, would probably hate it more in gears.

[CARMINE COG]

Yes. I support this game mode.

[TheMofologist]

Epic should totally bring make this come to life and put it as a gametype and have us beta test it!

[atspac la faza]

i'm officially a supporter now u.u ... :D
i hope this finish sucefully

[Holy Gear]

i voted a long time ago.....and i still SUPPORT 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zubi Fett]

Its official that there ARE NOT going to be more DLCs, I m not sure what this means to this proposal :(

[robertderidder]

TBH what's the biggest difference with Capture the Leader? Is basically the same gameplay.

[Im a sausage]

Hell yes! Ive always wanted a type of 'fort vs fort' type game on gears, where some players can defend and some attack

[Brash Smurf]

Well this isn't happening

[Porshapwr]

So a new Gears on the Next Xbox? Sounds like the perfect time to plan the proper game modes this time around.........................meaning INCLUDE CAPTURE THE FLAG.

[james288gto]

New Gears on the 360 mate. Overrun is the objective mode we have been waiting for (not exactly CTF but Conquest/Rush-like). Hoping it means big (proper big) maps too. I'm glad threads like this have not gone unnoticed. :)

[IsmaR]

^
It's basically CTF for the Locust only, COG plays strictly defense. Teams switch every round, with the winner being determined by best time/greater success ratio. Not gonna spoil it for those wanting to see for themselves, but you should be able to find it on the Judgment discussion thread.

[Nevermind1982]

yes. yes. yes.

[Porshapwr]

Keep it going, keep it going, keep it going full speed.

:D

[acidsektor]

its a long way tilll 2013 .. there MUST be MORE for Gears 3

[Fupaz]

Is there a release date on the next gears?

[Predalian5]

BUMP!

You should edit this for the new Gears of War Judgment

[Lobotomize]

Is there a release date on the next gears?

nothing besides early 2013.

[Fupaz]

nothing besides early 2013.

Thanks, hopefully CTF gets put in there!

[Porshapwr]

We need to change this to "Would you like CTF in GOW Judgment?"

[Fupaz]

Page 6 is unacceptable!!

[Fupaz]

Ohai................

[CGOWAddict]

This would be a cool gametype in gears judgement. Memories of Unreal Tournament on my computer come to mind. :)

[YiffYiff Hooray]

No load outs and you have a deal.

[CGOWAddict]

No load outs and you have a deal.

No load outs??? Why??

[YiffYiff Hooray]

No load outs??? Why??

I'm assuming you mean like classes, don't want that stuff near Gears, yes I know Overrun lol, but still. Obviously you should have your choice of lancer/hammy and shotguns if that's what ya mean by loadout.

[IKryllYou]

That actually would be pretty cool. I would like to see it in Gears J

[Capps]

so? Any news?

[Porshapwr]

Anything? Bueller?

[Porshapwr]

Ohai..................

[ZOMBiE BEE]

I was thinking they could do like halo3 with foundry but with Gears it could be in the Sharks stadium since they already did the Cougars. They can have multiple layouts on the field so there's some variety. A shield with a flag on it could be cool and you can only use the pistol, and lets say if you have the flag you have to execute your downs.

[Mad 1arkin]

Sounds like a big camping fest.

[ZOMBiE BEE]

Meow Mix...

[Nevermind1982]

[RVS300z]

Close as we are going to get is Overrun.

[Aardvark]

No, just bring back submission.

[CGOWAddict]

No, just bring back submission.
Are you crazy?? Besides being the least played gametype and was part of the thought behind CTL which ended up a big fail there is no good to bring that back.

I'll just leave this here:

Quinn DelHoyo ‏@quinndelhoyo
@AndrewCovey1 Agreed. I've always loved CTF. Could be cool in a game like Gears which is starved for objective good gametypes.
