Heck with making a new thread. We have over 1,100 supporters and an 83% approval rating (despite the naggers along the way). I'll change the title and have this moved to Judgment Forum. :cool:

[FreshNikes2424]

Been waiting for someone to post a CTF game type, sounds super fun! I do really like CTL, but CTF sounds so fun!

[IRaZoRHaiL]

I think CTF would be amazing in gears.

[Porshapwr]

Course it would! :D

[Predalian5]

It's been to long...

You should move this to the Judgement thread. Do you want me to do it?

[DaRkNeSs]

If we got CTF alongside FFA in Judgment it would be perfect. They always seem to announce 2 new MP game modes:

GoW2 - Submission/Wingman (KOTH alteration of Annex)
GoW3 - TDM/CTL
GoW Judgment - FFA and CTF?

Since they brought FFA for Judgment, why not the good ol' CTF too!

Like Submission?

[xNearXdeathx]

This is wonderful, i always thought that while i loved capture the leader, a true capture the flag game type would be really fun. My only input is for the blood drive map example I would have put the flags in the hallway of the nade room to start.

[Porshapwr]

Well things like flag placement, movement speed, points system, etc... all would have to be worked out. The main point really is getting Capture the Flag in the game in a TRUE version of the game type.

[Porshapwr]

Bumpity, bumpity, bump, bump look at Cole Train go...............

[Jim Tuna]

I would love to see flag executions.

[GSK123]

I say sure why not.

[Shmehh]

I'd rather see Arctyc's Bomb gametype, although I still voted yes.

[Fupaz]

I haven't been on the forums in FOREVER omg what did I miss while I was gone??

[Medhast]

I am guessing they want Overrun to be the main objective based game type in Judgement. And honestly, based off of the feedback from the people who have played it, it might be so awesome we all forget about CTF.


~Quit whining, show respect, be a sportsman, and play the game right~

[Fupaz]

Did Epic ever say anything about this being in Judgement?

[U wot m8]

Yes i want this, the more game types the merrier

[lewisnic1]

I support this thread. Bring it back.

[Rainbow Dash]

Well whatever they do it won't be good as Halo's CTF that much is obvious but if people want it then EPIC should add it. Most likely though it will get barely anyone playing it as TDM is making a return

[A CANADIAN]

Halo is okay, but depending how it's done, gears could be better. The melee in halo is stupid, especially while holding the flag. Gears maps are tiny though and depending on how they did spawns and where it could make or break the gameplay.

[xFOAxREAPER]

Why does it say for GOW3 when this is in Judgement? and if it was just an error in writing, I'd rather know what other old modes we are getting rather then any new ones announced.

Ahh, that makes more sense. Thanks for telling me. :)

[Sausages and Beans]

Epic needs to be careful what why they add to the game. I have heard from lots of people HALO 4 Multiplayer is too like Cod and not fun to play because of it. People have stopped playing Halo 4 because of it.

Personally i find Cod fun compared to Halo 4, for various reasons. Skill wise cod doesn't require lot of skill.

[lewisnic1]

This thread is doing very well, keep it alive.

[Raven5150]

I agree with this 100%!!! Capture The Flag would be awesome!! This game like you said Porshapwr Is a team based game, and CTF requires alot of teamwork!! EPIC Should listen to the fans. If they have to bring the date back for the release. Make CTF a gamemode!!

[SoFaKeGG]

another quick match gametype, no thank you, playlists need to downsize

[Cyclops 100]

I love this idea! I would definitely play this!

[IronAssassin38]

CTF?
I would 100% want this.
So if you were to capture a flag, you would use the pickup button. (the one for picking up weapons)

Few questions, answer them:

1. Would you have normal controls when you have the flag?

2. Spawning - would both team always spawn near their own flag or will the spawn location change overtime?

[SWATSTRIKE]

I forgot that I voted on this a long time ago. Yep, I want CTF; I would even sacrifice Guardian if it meant that Epic/PCF would add a CTF mode.

[Raven5150]

Yes!!! Absouletly add this!!!

[lewisnic1]

True Capture the Flag? Bring it on for Judgment I say.

[SavagedRenegade]

I'm always up for more game types, a capture the flag game mode makes perfect sense for gears

[Tysodie]

1. Would you have normal controls when you have the flag?

Just for sh*ts and giggles, how about we use the flag like a butchers cleaver? Bash some peoples skulls in with it eh?

[AK is the best]

This would seem fun but like KOTH or CTL if you don't have good teammates then you would be screwed.

[Porshapwr]

Guess who's back, back again.


We get CTF yet? Figured I'd start doing some research on Gears Judgment.

[TicoBrohey]

I'm sorry but no, I like my Gears of War gametypes with a Gears twist, which is what Meatflag was (Submission now), it wasn't very popular which is kind of sad, mostly due to how frustrating it was to win those games.

I don't want a generic CTF, it's boring and lame in most games if they ever brought it back I'd prefer the gears twist on it.

Please revive this thread!

[CoUGH B]

A while ago I came up with a twist for an Attack & Defend variant for Gears. Does anyone remember the Resonator from Gears of War 1? You could use the Resonator to blow up the enemies base i.e. Locust. After each round the players switch between the Attackers i.e. COG and the Defenders, i.e. Locust (In my imagined Gears of War version of "Attack & Defend")

I've concluded a while ago though that a lot of the stuff distant fans imagine has probably already been tested and/or at least thought of by the studios at EPIC games. I mean a specialized CTF or Bomb variant isn't really an imaginative idea (given the specializations/appropriateness to a particular game are overall minor). With that being said, I would imagine the developers came across this idea years ago, decided they didn't want it, and here we are today.


All in all, there is no reason for me to NOT support additions such as options and variations, however I don't expect my support to mean anything.

[LoGx LoST ChILD]

Revive this thread please! CTF!!

[Porshapwr]

Wow, 1,216 supporters and 83% approval. I can't believe this continues to grow after all this time. :D

[Chrizz]

Yeah! Good ol days from Unreal Tournament. But probably really not gonna happen in Gears as game mode... Sad but true! CTF is 1 of the best game modes ever!

[BOSSxKrutch]

As badly as I would love for there to be a ctf...get real. It aint gonna happen. If Epic is pulling out execution...which has been in gow since day 1, what makes you think that they would do something else that we request? BTW...that's great that this has 1200 supporters....but "no DBNO" has 700 pages on this forum and Epic isn't involved in it either.

[Clone Recon]

I still think they could do CTF without DBNO, what difference would it make from all the other game modes? This could still be alot of fun. Also if this were made what if the flags were red and blue thrashballs instead, to fit more into gears or no?

Ha ha, we all hope that will happen. But I honestly think CTF might make it into Judgment because epic is trying to do what alot of other games are doing and alot of multiplayer games have CTF.

[Porshapwr]

Just to add a note for reference here - I'm a huge Halo player. In Halo 4 343i completely revamped the Capture the Flag mode and based on population, it is now the most played objective mode in Halo 4.

Food for thought.

[DJ CARNIV AL]

I wonder if they try this. The flag could be Data Disc or Locust Icon or something. With the new faster pace it might work. Be hard to design the maps for this one though! If it played like Unreal Tournament with the new games style this would be amazing :D

Because Capture the Leader sucks and we've been telling Epic it sucks since the Gears 3 beta. They NEED to get away from the "It must be unique to Gears mindset" as it's only hurting the franchise as a whole in terms of multiplayer.

Well, it looks like they are moving away from that mindset, what with Locust/DBNO removal, Domination, TDM...
So silver lining? Maybe we'll actually see a real CTF in the future? Honestly, I'm more concerned about bringing a single life gametype (preferably bomb) back.

Sup brother! I still can't believe we haven't gamed yet. By now, I'd likely be a hindrance in Gears than a help. Hopefully we'll hook up on Judgment.

[mugen 828]

I voted yes, to many people's surprise maybe. I would rather them have a bomb type with execution rules to put a gears spin on it, and even have the bomb as the light mass bomb.


With that said, a CTF mode would be cool, and amazing to watch in MLG.

[H A W K E Y E]

That would be great, except it would probably only work on symmetrical maps. But I support it!

[IronAssassin38]

Can someone comment on this idea...
How about:

An action where you have a duel in attempt to grab the flag like tug of war. It should have a similar mechanic to chainsaw duels.
You basically tap the button rapidly, and whoever wins will snatch the flag and stun the other person for 2 secomds. But both players can be vulnerable to enemy fire too.

Or is it ridiculous? You might say, "it's simple, I would just kill them".

There's still hope that they might include this or the one life bomb gametype in later DLC's.

Highly unlikely but it could happen. They did bring back Guardian after they said that they wouldn't

I really hope they do. I was pretty sure they were going to include some game types like this it all seemed perfect. New game new changes and what not. I hope they do something good with the dlc to accommodate the lack of game types in judgement.

Bring TRUE Objective Game Type Strategy to Gears Judgment

http://i.imgur.com/d9bhw.jpg
Thanks to Threnody for the pic!


First, before automatically voting no because Gears hasn't had this before I ask that you simply think about the possibility of this game type and how it would fit in with the Gears gameplay. Please read before voting.

Capture the flag is the classic objective mode in competitive multiplayer games. It is in or has been in nearly every major competitive shooter. There is a reason for this of course - it's a f*cking BLAST when you have a good team. I've been playing shooters for 15+ years now (games in general for going on 30 years - yes I'm an old man) and some of my best memories are while playing CTF in various games (actually one of them being Epic's own Unreal Tournament/Championship). The reasons I think a CTF game type would be amazing in Gears Judgment are as follows:

1. Gears first and foremost is a team orientated game. Unlike other major shooters, you NEED a good team to truly do well. It is one of the things that separates Gears from other shooters and makes me love it all the more.

2. The 5 on 5, 3rd person perspective, tactical gameplay of Gears fits a mode like capture the flag amazingly well from a dynamics perspective.

3. The map design and weaponry in Gears Judgment will be ideal for CTF gameplay. The combination of up close weaponry (where teammates would attack and defend each other while escorting a flag carrier) and ranged weaponry (going for that down or flag carrier stop from distance) is perfect. You combine that with the symmetrical map layouts and you have the ideal breeding ground for epic CTF matches.


Just picture if you will, a blue COG flag on one side, red Locust flag on the other, and teams of 5 fighting to get to the other side. Roadie running is like it was designed for CTF from the outset. You can run, but you can't shoot and it can be a challenge to navigate quickly sometimes due to the 3rd person perspective and screen shaking. Imagine roadie running (limited speed most likely) with a flag (lessened speed similar to running with shield) while you have your 4 teammates using various loadouts to try and help you get back to base to score a flag?

Imagine Blood Drive with a flag planted at the top of either of the main steps outside of where you spawn. You have a choice, go up the main steps which will be very hard due to the visibility of the other team seeing you coming or go through the back, past grenades, and with more cover but a longer distance to travel. Imagine the battles with your teammates to get there and grab the flag. Better yet, imagine the tension you would feel after you got the flag and had to try and roadie run all the way to the other side without getting downed (which would make you drop the flag). I'm smiling just thinking about it!


Now some people will say "But we had Submission and now we have Capture the Leader". Let's face it, Submission was the least liked game type overall and Capture the Leader simply isn't fun nor well received by the community either (even more apparent now that Guardian came back!). They don't have the same dynamics of a true CTF game type. Why? Because once you grab the leader, the battle doesn't move from that area. You move extremely slow and all your team has to do is setup a perimeter to try and protect you. Submission of course you had to move but the pace was terrible and the ring moving made it even worse.

The KEYS to capture the flag are tension and speed. What makes it so much fun is the tension you feel as you are RACING with the flag to try and score. And as you have to move the flag quickly, the game changes on the fly because teams are in a constant struggle to do many things at once which include guarding the flag, getting the flag, and stopping/protecting the flag carrier which happens all over the map. This simply does not happen in CTL or Submission.

I keep dreaming of a real CTF game type in Gears. It really could be amazing on all levels. And really, I'm not sure it would even be that difficult to implement at this point. I understand how Gears likes to have its own unique modes, but as I said there is a reason that CTF has been in nearly every competitive shooter. Epic implemented Team Deathmatch in Gears 3 despite previously not having a respawn deathmatch game type, and look how that turned out - it is the #1 played mode BY FAR. We should ALL hope for things that will make Gears a better/deeper overall experience online. Please at least consider it. :)


Additional Ideas Added by Supporters:

- Movement speed should be about the same as when running while holding a boomshield. This adds to the tension and increases the need for teamwork.

- You should not be able to use any weapons while carrying the flag but the flag can be used as a melee weapon. We could even have a flag specific execution. :eek:

- The game could be setup to cap 2-4 flags a round with the first team winning 2 rounds winning the match. Score limits and round counts could vary by map / CTF game type (single flag or multi-flag).

- Another idea is to simply set the 2 rounds with a time limit and have whoever caps the most win. If at the end of the time limit in the 2nd round the teams are tied, then the game goes to sudden death OT. There would need to be a final time limit which could result in a tie or have a tie-breaker of some sort like "Most Flag Grabs" or "Greatest Flag Movement Distance". Whatever works best....

- The flag should likely be returned on a short timer (maybe 5 seconds). This will help balance map size and cover for the flag carrier.

- Characters could have specific quotes for capturing a flag or executing with a flag. Imagine the possibilities! :cool:

- Spawns would have to be modified so that you could spawn near your flag with spawn protection.

- A big concern is map size for something like say Checkout versus say a map like Sandbar. A good way to balance these could be to have two variations of CTF - One Flag (where teams take turns attacking/defending) and Standard/Two Flag/Multi-Flag (where each team has a flag and your flag has to be in place to score the opponents flag). A map like Sandbar could be excellent for attack/defend while a small,symmetrical map like Checkout could be perfect for Two-Flag. :cool:

THIS.

I've said it many times before, with Gears Epic has traditionally tried to make game modes that are unique to Gears. While admirable in concept, they simply haven't worked well. Submission was a disaster, CTL was a joke, etc.....

TDM became the #1 played game mode for a reason and Guardian is well loved. A traditional CTF game mode but in the Gears environment would be utterly fantastic.

All they have to do is ask a few players and they should have immediately knew that had a failure with that. Get people who are not "yes men (or women) to give them honest feedback. Not sure who makes those decisions. There will always be a few (minority) who like those games and will cry and say it's the best, but overall it's just not. Sorry. I really don't know for sure that CTF would be good in Gears. ONce a working game was out though I'd be able to tell quick enough. I think it could work if done property.

TDM was good and now ffa is being added, ctf is also another staple mode that should be included and then last but not least we need a bomb type mode, like search and destroy.

A bomb mode could be alot of fun. Having to set a bomb at a location. Just depends on how the spawns are done and the maps are set up. Would be alot of fun. FFA just seems like it will get boring for me. I rarely played it in COD games as it was just hectic mayhem. Random noob tubes and grenades. It won't play quite like that in Gears, but I like Gears for the team play. WHo knows. Maybe I'll love it and play alone all the time. Won't know until I play. Just basing it on other games.

A bomb mode could be alot of fun. Having to set a bomb at a location. Just depends on how the spawns are done and the maps are set up. Would be alot of fun. FFA just seems like it will get boring for me. I rarely played it in COD games as it was just hectic mayhem. Random noob tubes and grenades.

I never really played ffa in any game that much, I would rather be part of a team. Oh yeah I forgot to say they added domination, another classic mp mode.

[jaller878]

I don't know about putting it in gears 3 but in judgment yes since there are only 4 game types

[Porshapwr]

Yep - Domination is another tried and true game mode and hell, they didn't even change the name from COD. lol

[ThePeruvian]

all i gotta say the gifs on the front page are awesome

[Porshapwr]

How we doing fellas?

[thesmallmango]

CTF would play soooo good in gears.

[DownInFlames85]

I prefer this over Survival now.

[iFury]

I have no idea what I voted for when I first saw this a long time ago.
I don't know how big the maps are in Judgement. I feel like this could be a amazing thing without weapon pick ups. Heavy lancer firing holding people down from getting around the map and up close personal shotgun battles in the flag zone on defense.

I would love to some how test this 5v5 the way I picture CTF in GoW in my head. Can't put it into words really. Most ctf is just lone wolfs running straight to the flag and back and forth rushing with no strategy.

[DrowRanger16]

...I just imagined Marcus holding a flag in one hand and a Lancer in the other, chainsawing someone.

...DO. WANT.

[Porshapwr]

More supporters - F yeah!


Oh and nearly 150,000 views. :D

[MoonCat]

Gears of Unreal Tournament. Would be awesome. Now with all these new mechanics it could work.

[cheeseburger]

Do Epic actually take notice of these ideas and threads? I think not, considering the community response to DNBO removal.

They've extremely likely to have already made their internal decisions regarding this game type. OP, I'd take your passion and energy elsewhere, this thread, whilst in my opinion a good idea, cannot determin Epics opinion on this. You're wasting your time campaigning for this to happen.

I voted yes by the way.

[Sacred Samurai]

For some reason this gametype would work in GoWJ then in any of the other previous titles.

[DownInFlames85]

I like the idea of running around with the flag in one hand and a Lancer/Gnasher/Retro Lancer/etc...(think "new" Boomshield mechanic) killing people. Would be so awesome!

Trust me, I'm fully aware of my voice and opinion having zero sway here (or anywhere else). But I'm a persistent bugger regardless. ;)

I believe so, months back an interview with Cliff this was mentioned, I forgot which mode but they said they chose >insert mode< over ctf. Either they knew about this thread or know that ctf is a staple of shooters.

[o Skrillz o]

ctf is such a fun gametype, really hope they put it in judgement eventually

[Porshapwr]

And yet again, they chose poorly. :p

[A CANADIAN]

And yet again, they chose poorly. :p

It could still be DLC later on. Wait and see.

[>I Am Legend<]

And yet again, they chose poorly. :p

Lol I remember, they chose Overrun over CTF.

[ChoppaK]

Not a bad idea at all

[>I Am Legend<]

Not a bad idea at all

It's actually an already established mode in many games.

[TG47]

OverRun maps have long lanes and three sequential objective locations. You'd think it could have neutral flag in the center or a flag on either end.

[Porshapwr]

DLC would be fantastic - I just hope it gets into Gears at some point.


Oh and 150,000+ views. :D

[Porshapwr]

Watching the Live Judgment event and someone tweeted about Capture the Flag! Hell yeah!

[ll7cx1Cll]

I support... It would fit perfectly in MP.

[DragonzZilla]

Did I say this already? Capture the Fuel or Capture the Hammer of Dawn.

[xxdrif7xx]

I played the heck out of CTF back in the day when unreal came out. It was my all time favorite game mode!!

[SNACKBAR]

Would be great if this is one of the new GoWJ modes

[Free Baird]

I love CTL, and CTF... so...Yes... But...

Can you roll while carrying? Can you wall bounce? Can you run?

If yes I'm all for it.

A slow brisk walk with the pole from point A to point B....

I will pass

[Porshapwr]

No doubt - Unreal CTF was brilliant.

We've talked about movement speed through the thread. Obviously you couldn't run the same as if you didn't have the flag as that would defeat a lot of the team aspect of CTF. We talked about speed about the same as running with the boomshield. And yes, the flag could be a weapon.

Regardless, that's really up to Epic to decide during play testing should they decide to finally make this. :)

Was this Unreal Championship on the old XBOX? I was always on. Get you some was a name I used among many others. All under my same GT. Best game EVER!

[Richardson94]

Please... just please.

[Porshapwr]

I was still Porshapwr (been that since the Live beta). Used to play Insta-Gib CTF so often that I was usually in the top 100 and often times on the weekly leaderboards I was top 10. I couldn't get enough of that game.

I was top 20 of overall. 17 or 18, but there was lots in the top that boosted. Sadly. I didn't. That game was great as you could change your name. I played instagib alot, but also the normal weapons too especially CTF. Loved all the maps too. Lava Giant was an all time favorite. I played countless days of that game so we undoubtably played each other. I went by "Get you Some" alot, but changed to other names and even other players names to make fun of them. I could play with a team of bots and still beat teams in that game. Especially CTF. I miss it. I'd still play it if it worked on the stupid 360.

[Porshapwr]

Man - it would be awesome if we could find some stats from that game so we could see the games we played together. Haha

[Porshapwr]

Damn Canadian - leave it to Halo to fulfill my Insta-Gib CTF needs. I just read this about being added to Halo 4 on Monday:

Lightning CTF

Your starting weapon is the LightRifle and one shot – anywhere – kills. With a 5-second respawn, touch Flag return and no motion sensor, Lightning CTF brings an entirely new Capture the Flag experience to Action Sack and Halo 4. Also, the Flag carrier keeps the LightRifle out when running the Flag!

[Cryra]

Hoping for this - along with a bomb gametpye for the two new unannounced game modes.

[A CANADIAN]

That sounds like the unreal instagib days of me owning EVERYONE. lol. May have to throw some Halo in the 360. Haven't bought any DLC though. Not sure if I have to to get this or not. We shall see.

Love me some Gears CTF.

You don't need DLC. The game automatically matches you with people who have it if you do, or continues like normal if you don't. ;)

I'm hoping Gears does the same.

[ImPuRiTyz]

Would be a nice addition. Could make it with a "Gears" element. A flag pole with COG tags on it or something.

[A CANADIAN]

Or it could be a person who you pick up and meatshield, then bring to a certain location. Oh wait....we had that. Wasn't fun. lol.

[ImPuRiTyz]

lol...agreed,

[Cryra]

Just make it so; the player grabs Flag, runs. Indicators on map as to where the player who has flag is at ALL times. Player with Flag also has 15% movement speed reduction.
Could work, could not

Obviously I think it would be brilliant. I'd be willing to bet it would be 2nd in player base behind TDM.

[Porshapwr]

One week to launch and still hoping to hear that one of the future two modes will be CTF. :D

[ll7cx1Cll]

Lol@the pics, the burger bandit stealing the happy meal hahah i gotta do this here.

[unknownphyzics]

Watching the Live Judgment event and someone tweeted about Capture the Flag! Hell yeah!

That was me lol, i really want ctf on gears. when i play cod mw2 ctf on 3rd person view, i see it as gears style and its fun.
But that's just me lol, but hey the 2 new game modes they haven't told us might be CTF crosses fingers :D

Haha fantastic man. Glad to see you found your way here. Welcome. :)

[Mr SuaVe SmooTH]

Sounds like fun

[NASTUSIA]

Awesome idea with very good detail. Also Cole with locust flag is awesome. :D

[FroBro]

The more objective based game modes, the better.

[MarcusTheFenix]

That would be great!

[KamakazeTaco]

You guys know EPIC won't do this, right? Nobody plays the objective modes in Gears. Just look at how tiny the population is for something like Guardian vs TDM. Wasn't it Rod or Cliffy that said something like 80% of Gears players are playing solo? You can't play CTF solo, so it won't make it in. Our DLC modes are most likely going to be some horde/beast variant and another FFA style thing.

That said, I would LOVE to see CTF make it to Gears.

[Porshapwr]

Indeed!

Guardian was the 2nd most played mode in Gears 2 behind Execution. If it launched with Gears 3 like it should have, it likely would have been the same. I can't believe yet again they've removed it.

[XxNikkiSe7enxX]

100% Yes, I think it would be awesome if done right.

[ZombLee]

I never really play capture the flag on other multiplayer games but I can see the potential.

[Porshapwr]

100% Yes, I think it would be awesome if done right.

Yes sir.

There's loads. I'm not sure why Epic hasn't realized this.


Nearly at 1,300 guys. :)

[GearsOfPendulumWar]

Maybe for Gears 4?


Sent from planet Sera via Tapatalk HD.

[bringbackAcarmine]

I think a clone of standard capture the flag would be boring
A game of capture the flag with a gears twist could be good ,Human meat flag sort of like capture the leader, have to take the leader to the capture point to win 2 captures per team to avoid boosting making stalemates ,Would be a fun fast paced game type

Submission was bad because of the crazy AI meat flag with human meat flags and multiple capture points should be fun

[General Jolly]

Not sure how well it would work in gears, but it's definitely worth a temporary community event to try it out.

[Gringe]

Same here. It's too easy to run away from people in the gears games. You can have 3 guys shooting at a single person and have them get away still. In order to have capture the flag, the game would eithr have to have increased damage, or have flags in the middle of the open.

[Lurking Corpser]

A Retro charge style flag spear execution would be sweet. Maybe even the ability to kebab a couple enemies within the same charge due to the flagpole length, but that would be too OP probably.

[Lesturb]

This has true potential, atleast if there is enough interest.

I would love to see people bring more light to it, because the more effort we put in it clarifying everything, the bigger the chance Epic will ever pick this up.

[Peeler]

Yes yes yes.... cant express any more how this will make gears so much fun :)

[You're Back Kim]

I could stare at that 'Nothing can scare us of...' gif for days.

[Darkshot]

Yeah I would certainly give it a go.

[iM x SOVEREIGN]

I see I am in the vast minority by voting no...

[Omega Realities]

I don't know. It just seems like Gears of War MP is looking more like Gears of Halo.

Red Cog vs Blue Cog, what next?

I just afraid that it will soon be a conglomeration of other games and not be unique anymore.

[People Of One]

Yeah, but make the flag look like it belongs in the Gears Universe.

[EvilNightTerror]

heck ya capture flag be fun sence there no guardian.

[Porshapwr]

I could stare at that 'Nothing can scare us of...' gif for days.

They gave a good laugh. That's all they were meant for. ;)


I see I am in the vast minority by voting no...

No worries, everyone has opinions. Can I ask why you voted no?

[Porshapwr]

3 more for 1,300. Comon guys!

[Typhus 92]

will be nice play capture the flag on gears of war!

[GAME OVER]

Let me guess. You need the VIP-pass?

[danb]

Let me guess. You need the VIP-pass?

Nope, epic would probably try and sell you the game mode as a full game.

[Bad Instincts]

Voted yes. Would be nice too if is playable local.

[marcus84mtl]

@GAME OVER Really? you have been saying that on all threads chill out dude

[Porshapwr]

Voted yes. Would be nice too if is playable local.


Honestly, there are not many things more hilarious than CTF in custom games with friends.


1,300+

I need some more GIFs for you guys. Will be back shortly.

I loved the meatbag one in Gears 2. Yeah it sucked sometimes but I liked the uniqueness of it. It was fun to hear the flag ask to be put down.

[Johnnyboy018]

Yeah sure why not and while they are at it they should also a bomb mode game mode now that would be EPIC !!!!!!!!!!!

[IXxRolandxXI]

Judgement is setup perfectly for some CTF......hope Epic sees the win in this idea.

[Porshapwr]

Yawn..........

[raised by the cursed]

No, i would never play this, CTF in gears would be horrid, imo halo has the best CTF

[DaRkNeSs]

This thread's been here longer than I have...amazed to see it still going strong.

[LoGx LoST ChILD]

bump! Lets see some more votes!

[Porshapwr]

Well well well - I'm going to have to really find some GIFs for today. :D


Breakthrough is a single-objective gametype that features two teams with very distinct roles: one team has possession of a flag that they must deliver to a set location; the opposing team has a purely defensive role and unlimited resources.

The attacking team must break through the enemy team’s defensive line and deliver the flag before their pool of lives run out.

They'll never expect me stealing the flag.

well the new mode that came out is almost the same as ctf

[Victimizer]

well the new mode that came out is almost the same as ctf

The title says true CTF gametype, and if you read the discription of the mode it's more similar to a bomb gametype than a CTF gametype. It's just a flag being used instead of a bomb. Because you aren't capturing the flag, you're already in posession of it and trying to plant it.

[>I Am Legend<]

Well looks like our prayers were answered, the new mode in the upcoming dlc sounds like ctf! Whoo!!

It's kind of similar, I think they fused both modes together, lets see how it plays.
