5 second bleed out in next TU?

[TurdINuGGs 4 20]

Ok if you made it to 5 seconds i would down about halfway across the map with my HB,active,down you agian,active,down agian,active,your dead,but with the current 15 sec bleedout your pretty much protected for 15 seconds to get into cover and get picked up.

Now you have actually made it easier for me because orginaly i would have to go all the way near your teamates and attempt to kill you.

I was playing a private game of 4v4 execution today with my friends on River with 5 second bleedout.Two of us went to boom and three of the other team went to boom.So they picked up boom and we down him,he started to crawl towards his teamates but halfway thier he got downed agian because of 5 second bleedout.Then finaly his teamates started to rush us,but the person who picked up boom died while getting back up because he was being lancered by two people in the sniper tower.

This would happen a ton more if it was 5 second bleedout,for example whenever i play on ruins I run up to flame and down the person who picked up torque,he usually always get picked up by his teamates after he crawls away into cover,if it was a 5 sec bleed out I would just down him 3 times wihtout him having a chance to get into cover.

But then agian this is just my opinon,I still thinks it would be a bad idea.

Smart thinking, I have changed my mind about the whole 5 sec thing. 15 is good and EXECUTION ONLY people!

This scenario was mainly due to 1 factors:

(*) The stupidity of the person who tried to Rush for the Power Weapon in the first place.

You say that the guy went for the power weapon and got downed, correct? Well the current 15 second bleed-out time encourages such play and the player got used to playing like this, and so, tried to rush for the power weapon because with the 15 second play, you can rush for it and your teamates would keep firing at the opponent while you crawl back to cover (because you have 15 seconds to do that, and this is what he was used to doing all this time)..... This is one reason why battle for power weapons is much less intense when it comes to Gears 2....

The Real question is: Did he do ever do that again? I dont think so.... you see, now there is WAY more risk involved, and the battle for the power weapon is much more intense, also if one of your teamates go down: its that much more of a risk for you to revive him. In your scenario, the 5 second bleed-out time increased tension in the game making it more exciting. It gave lesson. What happened in the next couple of rounds? That is the real question.

Lets get back on track people and push for 5 seconds for Execution, and may be 10 seconds for Warzone (if there must be another, separation must be)

Doesn't that kind of go against the whole up close and personal execution concept? I mean if I wanted to get killed from across the map I would simply play warzone. The point of having two game types is to provide for more ways to play, and with 15second bleedout on execution we might as well just play warzone.

Ok, this doesn't make sense.

You think 15 second bleedout leads to getting downed and killed from someone running across the map.

You then say 5 second bleedout would fix this.

This is not a fix to make execution more "up close and personal."

This will only lead to more people using assault rifles--the hammerburst would work very well--to get downs from across the map. Only difference is that you wouldn't have to run across the map to collect your kills.

5 seconds would really set execution apart from warzone.

It would be amazing.

[BEYONDtheWRECK]

I vote yes.

I miss so many things from Gears 1 and 5 second bleed out is one of the many. I actually would rather play 1 than 2 anymore, but most of my friends only have 2.

This would really set a good seperation between warzone and execution. I enjoy both game types, but I favor execution becuase it feels like more of a challenge and I am getting the most out of the money I paid for the game. I really don't find it fun sitting behind the same area of cover on a map for the majority of a match lancering/hamer burtsing, I want the battle to cover larger areas. I paid 60 bucks for this game so I want the most out of it.

If I play warzone I can down someone from a far and than kill them while they are down. execution makes that more difficult. You actually have to work for you kill. When I get a kill in execution I feel like I have earned it, warzone...not so much.

Basically, a 5 second bleet out would just benefit the execution game type and it's entire game experience. If you like warzone rules...play warzone.

Again, I vote yes, but it is a shame EPIC will either never see this or just ignore it like all the other complaints they have from their dying fan base.

Bump. 5-seconds please - EXECUTION ONLY!

[Their Law]

Bumping up. Can we please move this to the Gears 3 section?

[Tai Bot]

this is pretty much why I play warzone over execution, either way,once your down, its over. Thats not the execution i remember. You have my vote

[Tesco Jeans]

Bumping up. Can we please move this to the Gears 3 section?

Why? They're not going to change it back.

[Their Law]

Bumping for 5-seconds!!

[SkaynotIx]

10 seconds is best

[aSnugglyGrunt]

gears 3 bleed out is like 10 seconds.

[TheSoupKitchen]

You must realize that the forums are not 100% of the audience, 5 of my friends think this idea is silly. Fine the way it is, I really don't see what the big issue is :/

[Supreme Beast78]

5 sec I thought was the norm 15 secs is way too long

[Sulfuric]

The question is loaded. Bring "back" 5 second execution? It never was 5 second execution. Many gears 1 players hosted 5 second execution games, and some did not. It was never official, and I've always preferred to be rewarded for using more than 1 gun.

Edit: The shorted the bleedout time, the less players have to think about whether it's best to crawl away or tap A and get up faster. I doubt EPIC will lower the bleedout so low that a new game mechanic is null and void.

[LuigiPR]

10 sec is great.
Why not 5, bcause you wont be able to do an execution (HOLD Y till the circle fills) other than a curb stomp before he gets up.

[The Shadman]

5 or atleast 10...for christ sake its so stupid. Epic didnt play Gears 1 at all and it shows.

first of all can i just say, this is NOT gears of war 1 to be honest i like it being at 15 it gives me a bit of a rush just mashing wildly at the a button, but i could live with it being at 10 secs as that is reasonable

[FADEDSARGENT]

no i want 10 seconds 5 is to short for this
