5 second bleed out in next TU?

[xchange]

I just wanted to take a poll of those people who would like to see 5 second bleed-out on execution rather than the extremely long 15 seconds.

Who's with me? Answer yes if you want gears to bring back 5sec bleedout in execution, answer no if you want to keep the 15sec. Maybe with enough yes votes we can get things changed on the next TU.

My Argument:

The way I see it, 5 second bleed out was the obvious choice for execution; it is the only thing that makes it different than warzone.

Currently, you can be downed across pretty much any map, and the person that downed you can run across the whole thing and kill you within the 15sec.

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.

Thanks for listening and don't forget to vote.

ermm..
No.
I like 15 seconds,i think it works well.

um, getting up after 15 seconds is annoying, and why should your enemy be able to run across the whole map?

It sucks that these threads end up dead in a day because of all the other posts. There should be a separate section for polls so that people can vote on upcoming changes. Maybe there is and I just don't know about it? Its hard to get an opinion of the majority when only 10 people end up seeing the thread before it is buried in the rest.

Thanks to those who did vote though, and to any others that some how dig this up.

6 to 1. . . Keep Em Comn!

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

I agree that it should be shortened to 5 seconds. If not 5 seconds, 8 to 10 seconds would be a fair middle ground.

[xchange]

The reason I suggested 5 seconds is because it seems that 5 seconds was the norm in gears 1 and it worked really good as an up close and personal game type. To tell the truth, I went from exclusively playing execution in gears 1 to warzone in gears 2. I just can't stand laying around for 15seconds. I'd rather be dead and watching the ghost cam than crawling around like a crab being raped by a bunch of children.

Hopefully the gears crew will see this post at some point and realize the ratio of people who want 5sec compared to those who want 15sec and sticky my thread so that we can get things changed in the next update.

Wishfull thinking, I know.

[kornfield]

10 seconds.

[lFATALSHOTzZ]

I think that would be a great idea!

[xchange]

Oh. . Another vote by someone to keep it the way it is. . That's okay, still a 4:1 ratio, I think anyone would consider that a majority. Now to make my argument more convincing we need a bigger sample of the population.

So spread the word and increase the voting. If it ends up that most of the people want to keep 15sec, then so be it, but I highly doubt it.

Finally, for those suggesting 10 seconds, I still don't think it would have the same effect as the 5 seconds made in the past. You can still come from pretty far away on most maps and kill downed enemies within 10 seconds.

Either way, thanks for your votes men/women.

[xchange]

Also, to those voting against the change, please post your reasons. I would love to hear them.

Again, my argument, if you want to be downed forever, play warzone. Simple enough I think.

[LordZ1M]

I was commenting the other day that the bleed out time is rediculous....I can crawl accross the map being humped from behind by the enemy before I die, sounds like warzone.

Oh snap Im sure it's just lag. Everything is lag nowadays.

[xchange]

Starting to get a little worried here, even with the almost 3:1 vote still, there are not enough people voting.

Seems like the only ones spreading the word are those who don't want the change. I know they are outnumbered though because of all the people online who said they would much rather have 5sec bleed-out or I wouldn't have started this thread.

Where are you all at?

[Tyler.]

I say change it to 7-10. Because now we have DBNO crawling as well as a RR-Melee delay.

[xchange]

The RR-Melee delay has become a RR-Everything delay. You can't do anything after rolling or RR. Why is this? Because people got sick of getting two pieced so they try to lessen the effect of the two piece by slowing the game down? Why not just lower the melee damage? Seems just as easy, and a heck of a lot more efficient than the pause currently being used. Either way, that is a whole other topic.

I would be happy with 7, but the closer to 10 it gets it might as well be left alone, and that would be annoying.

I really am not getting the point of voting against this change though. Y aren't you guys playing warzone? What benefit does execution really have as it is?

Yeah I'd want 7 or 8 but I said to 10 because I'm not sure if EPIC would do an un-even number.

[xchange]

I am pretty sure the bleed-out is currently set to 15sec., not 10, so a vote against any change would assume you want to keep 15sec.

If I am not correct about the current bleed-out, please someone let me know. Seems like an eternity whatever it is.

You're right... it's 15.

[xchange]

Maybe I should have worded the question in the form of "Who would like to see the bleed-out time reduced to a lesser amount?" Rather than defining primarily 5sec as the only other choice.

Oh well, if the moderators see this thread and enough people post, maybe they will lessen it to a point that will make the majority happy. I still say 5sec, but I am far from a majority.

I think 5 seconds plays true to the Shotgun battles, it makes it more exciting, more competitive, and the hammer-burst wont be able to ruin the execution matches like this I think.

Epic should make this an Event over a weekend or so. The executionists would love it.

May be on a side note, since the execution - shotgun battle Gear headz (like myself) want the 5 second rule and others are fine with the 15 sec rule, then 10 seconds should at least be on the table as middle ground as someone pointed out. But realy. 5 secs is perfect for execution, when you go down you feel like your crawling is worthwhile and that your gonna make it and fight on (kind of beats re-spawning at a more competitive level). 15 seconds should be kept for Warzone.

Good idea, oh and yes, I definately feel that there should be a polls section within the forum so that we can all vote on all the polls (I know I would!)

[xchange]

Good to see that finally people are taking note of this page. Again though, to those who do end up on this page, tell your friends we need more votes!

[ghoto]

5 seconds! Vote! Vote! Now!

[majones117]

5-10 seconds and i swear it feels like more then 15 seconds more around 25 or so

[Sniper X]

I'd just like to add a second post asking for 5 seconds in Execution. Thanks.

[xchange]

Yay! 22 votes... Pfft!

How do I get exposure of this thread as to get more votes? This 1 vote per day junk is ridiculous.

[gnxROUGE]

this is why i don't play execution. The rules are very unreal

+1... Ftw

[xchange]

Anyone know how many votes it takes to get noticed around here?

And I agree, they should maybe try out the change from 15sec to 5sec like they did with the smoke over "old school weekend" and just see how it goes. If people like it, keep it, if they don't, reset it to the eternity that it currently is.

[xchange]

Or people could just keep coming to this page, voting no, and not giving any reason for the vote. Are they afraid of change? I mean, nobody has a posted a logical reason otherwise so that's all I can think of.

16 to 11? I cant believe how tight this is. Execution must be played like execution. It think the Warzone crowd are voting on this a bit too much.

You think? I agree the votes are probably being swayed by warzone players, but probably also by people who just want to be difficult (the same people that always try to tie the map selection no matter what map it is).

I give you a test epic. Count the ratio of warzone to execution games being voted on daily. I guarantee that 70% of them end up in an execution game. My theory as to why it is so hard to get a warzone game is that there is hardly any difference between the two, and most want the ability (no matter how unlikely it is) it get back up.

If epic made the change from 15sec to 5sec bleed-out in execution I am sure that many of the x-warzone players would go back to playing warzone and leave the up-close-and-personal execution battles to us true executioners. The way the votes are going however, we may never know.

[likedamaster]

5 second bleed out or take the mode away, 15 seconds is absolutely terrible.

Thank you. Finally another voice of reason.

[mwoelfel13]

10 seconds

[xchange]

10 seconds

I repeat... To those of you suggesting 10 seconds, please do not vote against the change or EPIC will not even take a look at the findings of this poll.

In other words, vote yes, then when there is enough of an overwhelming majority of a large enough population, they will consider the reduction and of how much, but if they just see that the "yes" and "no" votes are tied, they will conclude that the bleed-out timer is fine the way it is and there will be no change.

So if you want 10 seconds, vote yes please.

[Time Assassin]

They should at least meet it half-way and make it 10seconds

[Sniper X]

I'm glad to see xchange really pushing for this. 5 seconds for Execution.

[WildBF]

Yeah 15 seconds takes waaaaay too long, I vote 5 seconds.

[IIICHICKIII]

with 15 seconds whats the difference between Warzone and Execution? 90% of the time if you down an enemy from across the map you can get to them to finish the job. 5 seconds allows for gameplay to continue the way it should in Execution. OXy boy is right.
