wingman + gridlock 2.0 = ???

[blindfire202]

i was looking at some gears 2 videos and i ran upon the gametype wingman. sound and looks great and all, 5 teams 2 people in each team...

thing is how is it gonna work with gridlock i mean it is a symitrical(<--spelling ) map


( unless certian maps is for certian gametypes, which i really dont want that to happen..)

anyone wanna help me know where the spawns are or at least geuss where you spawn??

[Xthat em0 kidX]

from what i saw new gridlock looks like a jungle-ish version of the original.same spanws and wep spawns.

[SNEAKY CUBAN 1]

i see what you mean like where are all the teams gonna spawn so that it is fare, so everyone has a fare chance at the power weapons

[jawmuncher]

Hmm they could change maps a bit for different gametypes.

[blindfire202]

yea but gridlock is basicly re-skined....not entirerly re made, correct me if im worong but when i saw the new gridlock on youtube it looked pretty darn close to the first one.

that saying, what will the spawns be??? (ex.) 2 teams spawn in both original spawns other 2 teams will spawn on the hammerburst spawn and the last one will spawn.... either on sniper,frag, or boomer spawn

true.not layout though.maybe like weapon and player spawns.but the base of the map will stay the same.probably.

[Pyrokid55]

Don't worry I'm sure epic figured something out. Like I mentioned in one post. Maybe 1 team at each regular spawn(so thats 2) 1 at gernades (thats 3) and 1 on either hammer burst(thats 5) BUT with the acception that weapons WILL NOT SPAWN until a little bit has past, true that the team could just camp there until weapon spawns.

Wingman seems like a pretty cool gametype. There are some factors that seem pretty wierd to me though. I'm guessing cogs are supposed to kill other cogs as well right? Seems kinda wierd that two partners have to be the same player model. But this still looks like the coolest mode in the game!

All MP modes work on all MP maps.

Yeah it sounds wierd, but I have never herd someone say that the locusts killing each other sounds weard.

ummm? since when was there 2 sniper spawns in gridlock, and i didnt know that this game had a weapon named "other" hmm

[zachary6996]

the only reason they re-skined gridlock was because it was the most popular map, and if the changed it ohysicaly it might not be the fav, they wanted to keep the map but have a change to it somehow, so they re-skined it.

I meant the towers with hammerburst that people usually go to to snipe.

well yea if it IS true what about the weapons?? like what if u spawn on the sniper tower....lucky you huh?

I'm shocked Canals wasn't the favorite map. I feel the Brits/UK love Gridlock.

I go for the underdog, I <3 my War Machine.

yah i agree, but im geussing they didnt pick gridlock for being the fav. map i think it was because its so played out in gears 1, like everytime i search a match i see 3-5 gridlock maps almost every time

[c SPARTAN117 c]

It can work. For example have 1 team at each of the original spawns, then have two others spawn at the two buildings near hammerburst spawn. Then the 5th team could spawn in the middle. weapons may have to be moved to make it more of a fair game, but it could work

Well here's a Brit who doesn't love Gridlock. I'm a fan of Fuel Depot and War Macine. Out of the DLC maps, I like Raven Down and Subway

[ArchedThunder]

one in each normal spawn, one at the sniper tower, one at each hammer burst seems like a good guess to me

If teams are spawning at the original spawns and teams are spawning in the Hammerburst towers and Grenades, that creates major issues with headstarts. It takes longer for the regular spawners to get to cover than it does for Hammerburst tower spawners to get to the side where they can just open fire on the hopeless regular spawners, plus with stopping power they'd be dead off the bat. If the grenades is a spawn it practically doubles the issue because BOTH hammerburst spawners can lay fire at the grenades, as well as eventually being flanked by the two regular spawners. They'd have to put some cover in the initial spawns for this to work and even then it'd have issues. I say the spawns will work like this:

1st & 2nd teams at regular spawns.
3rd & 4th teams up against the walls by the boomshot (The very back where the white van and the truck you could climb into are.)
and the 5th team can spawn with the grenades.

That way the 1st and 2nd teams can either go hammerburst or garden boxes at about the same time the 3rd and 4th teams would get to hammer towers, or by the time the 5th team goes sniper tower or garden boxes.
