Will there be a TITLE UPDATE 5?

[RoboSeal1]

Its quite a wishlist, some major and some minor issues but all in all this is what the community wants, please take the time to read it and comment what you want changed or what you agree or disagree with

Once Addressed GREEN= Good Change RED= No Change
Whats on your Title/Server Update wishlist? Heres mine and the communities:

MY BIGGEST WISH
TAC COM BUBBLES!!!!! "Bubbles? What Bubbles?" - Rod Ferguson
Too cluttered they wont return, but my final idea would be adding color to the weapon pickup location, if we are LOCUST and tap LB near sniper and its red, we know our team has it (blue for cog but enemies cant see eachothers pickups) this would save on clutter and be the closest to the gears 2 feature

MAJOR ISSUES
-RANK RESETS. This is huge and some cant believe its still a problem, rank is easy enough to get back but medal progress isnt. Make A Backup Now! For more info how to, check Thevius Sisko's thread HERE
-PROFILE FREEZING. Its a huge problem not being able to play Gears. Hopefully Epic can find out whats wrong fast, check this thread HERE to help Epic gather info on how to fix this
BOTH ADDRESSED, BOTH STILL OCCUR

WEAPON INCONSISTENCY
-REMOVE AIM ASSIST PLEASE!!!! This is gamebreaking and i was shocked when i tested it out on servers with friends on enemy team, maybe this was always present in past Gears???
-RETRO LANCER! It was fine when they dropped the stopping power some but then Epic gave it mid range power without damage dropoff and reduced recoil PLEASE BALANCE
-GNASHER! Address sponging issue, nerf the range somewhat and make the same spread regardless of hard aim or hipfire
-GORGON! Please Increase The Starting Ammo, 160 would be perfect but unlike the retro this gun needs the mid range damage to NOT dropoff, at a certain range it takes a full mag to drop a standing target, make use of the zoom function, some believe it should get a tighter spread while zoomed in
-DIGGER LAUNCHER. Fix inconsistency, sometimes goes right past enemies without popping up, sometimes pops up and does minimal damage
-INCENDIARY NADES Reduce the OP splash damage, make instakill happen on direct hits ONLY meaning you dont die on splash damage when missing direct hit, it should hurt you because you are standing in fire but NOT be lethal on indirect hits
-FRAG NADES. Fix inconsistency and reduce the instant DBNO suicides, restore the delay on planted frags how it was in the beta, they are almost as bad as Gears 2 plants with lag
-INK NADES. REDUCE THE STUN to direct hits only or remove it completely and return the Gears 2 consistent radius for true area denial
-ZOOM WEAPONS. Fix the zoom 'auto center' on Sniper and Hammerburst iron sights, this is really bad when near wall or taking cover right side and facing immediate left, 'X' marker shows when we have a clear shot sometimes PLEASE FIX
-Grenade Toss Fakes while diving need to be removed, its crucial when you need to clutch
-Fix the error of killing yourself in cover with boomshot and ink/incendiary nades.
-Make power weapons priority pickup over dropped starting weapons when cluttered together, CRUCIAL ON KING OF THE HILL
-A failed retro charge occurs even with a red bar at times, rare but worth mention
-Reduce Sawed Off GIB range FIXED
-Fix inconsistent slow trigger pulls on Snub FIXED
-Fix the error when throwing frags before dying gives no credit to you when they kill FIXED
-Buff planted incendiary nades FIXED
-Fix the One Shot glitch on DryDock FIXED
-Sniper and Hammerburst 'X' marker would help when shots are blocked by objects & walls ADDED
-Sniper glare doesnt show on left side cover FIXED

SPAWN PROTECTION
-Too much on CTL and TDM, Epic please make reasonable spawn protection, many players felt that 3 seconds was perfect, I think we should have 4 second compromise ADDRESSED NOT ISSUE
-Many feel that when players spawn and shoot their weapons they should lose their spawn protection, a pushing team trying to flank shouldnt be punished with invincible spawning enemies, if a spawning player sees he has enemies in his spawn he would be forced to take cover or run instead of abuse his invincibility
-DIGGER while direct hitting up close you kill yourself while players are well outside spawn area, in this case the digger should just sponge and make the SP sound instead of killing yourself, yeah I hate sponging but I would rather this happen
-There is a video somewhere that shows enemy splitscreen has SP even after the SP timer has ran out, I have tested this on Checkout KOTH in private splitscreen ITS TRUE
-Private matches shows 6 second spawn protection at times, hope just a glitch and not truly 6 seconds

MANTLE KICK & COVER ISSUES
-THE MANTLE KICK, In my opinion it doesnt need to have a wider hitbox it just needs to be consistent, its very bad (especially against bots) at times you do a double pumpfake then the enemy mantle kicks you, other times you mantle over and land for an easy target. PLEASE FIX!
-Mantle Kick should only work if other player is in cover also, it shouldnt kick if you arent in cover, this would make it easier to dodge instead of giving players easy kills when we are nowhere near the wall
-Many feel the Mantle Kick stun time should be reduced as well, I agree it rewards the aggressor but it should give them an advantage, not a guaranteed kill
-Cover fixes needed are less sticky walls, random spinning away from walls, diving instead of taking cover like when we should
-RANDOMLY GETTING BUMPED OFF COVER similar to the animation when your cover is destroyed, it happens alot when bots are near you or sometimes completely random, it is extremely annoying!!! You will even see bots randomly do this for no reason

REVIVING & EXECUTIONS
-Make a slightly bigger revive radius, this is huge in the heat of battle, sometimes you stand literally on top of a DBNO teammate to revive them and it wont register
-Make the bloody medic symbol for dead teammates last longer like it did in Gears 2, this was very helpful in knowing a recently dead players last known position
-Encourage players to REVIVE by giving more XP for doing it, It worked for executions as im sure more people execute now because of the XP bonus, now do it for Reviving
-While pressing 'Y' give executions priority over looking at DBNO teammate positions
-Extended Executions. Make it possible to lock in (hold Y) the extended execution prior to reaching a DBNO victim similar to when we hold X prior to reaching weapon pickup ADDED MY IDEA!

JOIN IN PROGRESS & CHARACTERS
-While joining in progress i should be the character i have chosen NOT DEFAULT ADDRESSED MEMORY ISSUE
-There is a glitch when you join in progress sometimes you cant see the scoreboard when pressing the back button
-Join in progress sometimes have scoreboard errors, EXAMPLE joining a quickmatch of Guardian sometimes will say 3-0 Locust yet the match continues PLEASE FIX
-Fix the strange glitch when you join in progress, the scoreboard blocks you after you have spawned
-Horde Join in progress needs priority fixing, if they cant fix the "Marcus" issue I dont know if i would care about SOCIAL HORDE
-Make COG GEAR the default character, I love Marcus but cant stand seeing so many clones of him
-Address the smaller hitbox issue, they arent equal ADDRESSED NOT AN ISSUE?
-Anthony Carmine's lines need to be fixed and the community wouldnt mind gears 1 lines being recycled, at the very least give him the same lines as Ben ADDRESSED MEMORY ISSUE
-Classic Characters eyes look dead and their mouths dont move PLEASE FIX!
-Ungag the characters, make them taunt, make them yell while chainsawing, make the characters speak as much as they do in private matches in PUBLIC matches as well
-Return DLC character's missing dialogue EXAMPLE: Kim "GIMME GIMME GIMME" Anthony "SUCK IT SUCK IT!"
-The shrinking weapons on certain characters (Cole, Clay, females) need to be fixed
-Bullet Marsh kryll create audio problems, characters will sound like Marcus even if he isnt present
-While spotting Grenadiers, Jace says "Gas Barges" lol
-Retro Charging is silent in campaign, characters should yell
-If memory is issue USE OUR HARD DRIVES with a MEMORY BOOSTER download for more dialogue

MEDALS & RIBBONS
-Many want a final Re Up or to have their Gold wings look more unique than the bronze wings, my idea is to make the Bronze wings 'WHITE' like Gears 2 wings regardless of adding another Re Up or not
-Adjust the gametype medals 3000 each gamemode is INSANE!
-Skunker, Hard Target and HEAVY WEAPONS need to be reduced as well
-Reorder the CTL medals, they are all separated when they should be together
-For more Medal related discussion see Tesco's thread HERE
-LAST MAN OUT ribbon should be given to Horde and Guardian players
-Fix the War Supporter glitch FIXED
-Fix the new ribbon indicator glitch FIXED
-Adjust the Vengeful medal FIXED
-Retribution ribbon isnt unlocking FIXED

GHOST CAM
-SPEED IT UP please. Its got decent speed on certain maps but slower on the rest, make it fast for all or give it a speed boost button similar to Halo Forge World, my idea is to use RS as a throttle pressing up on LS and RS moves camera forward at maximum speed! Pressing down on RS decreases speed
-Some players feel it should be disabled for Ranked Match
-Rotation speed is very slow and needs to be increased
-Up and Down controls would be awesome ADDED
-Sometimes at the start of ghost cam it shoots upward and you lose the action FIXED
-Spectator Mode should view Player Camera first rather than Battle Camera FIXED
-Ghost Cam and Spectator Mode should see Hill Locations during KOTH FIXED

SPLITSCREEN & POPUPS
-Give the ability to Change Loadout during splitscreen matches, my idea is to 'Press A' to make the weapon loadout popup blocking the ghost cam and Overhead map controls and showing the weapon choices, a simple layer over the others that fades down when done selecting
-Some have reported that while roadie running their character's camera angle faces too downward
-True we can disable friend notifications but for splitscreen I think they should pop bottom right, it sucks for top players when countless friends with beacons jump online
-Fix the profile corrupting bug for splitscreen as well FIXED
-The display box that tells us we are playing "EXECUTION RULES!" needs to fade faster. The popup is fine but an extended paragraph is unnecessary PLEASE REMOVE PARAGRAPH we know what execution rules are, it also pops up when you accidentally hit a DBNO teammate, its unnecessary. Recently learned turning off WEAPON TUTORIALS disables this popup and leaves tooltips displayed
-Guardian/CTL. I do think that something similar to execution rules popup should replace the current "PRESS A" when you are leader, it should popup and say "YOU ARE LEADER!" without delaying us
-Unblock the kill feed with friend/party notifications FIXED

PUBLIC MATCH & PRIVATE OPTIONS
-REGION FILTERS please, I played local region during Gears 2 now I only play mostly foreign regions
-PRIVATE GUARDIAN some want it only for the IVORY skin, I think it should be added for the scrim players, ANNEX was available for both public and private when released LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN
-Make a classic option for KOTH or make a KOTH classic weekend event, this gamemode doesnt get enough support, support this thread HERE
-Make an icon so we know if we are on Dedicated servers or not
-KOTH got better hill locations, but spawning is a huge problem still PLEASE FIX
-Leader Xray vision should disable once Enemy Leader is killed
-Guardian and CTL should follow Gears 2 rules, killing or capping leader should MAKE YOU THE LEADER
-Give a chance to switch weapon loadouts for winning team in wingman between rounds
-Private match end of round has a huge countdown and waiting period between matches, give players a chance to switch teams by pressing Y during loading screen, fans of Gears 1 have wanted this and it would be the next best thing to the Gears 1 lobby system
-Speed up time between wingman matches and let us quit at end
-Make an option for Warzone classic stalemates and bleedout times
-Return the DEAD ROOM on warzone and execution
-Give us Spawn Protection options for private matches
-Give a Random Character selection choice that changes character every match
-All weapons can be Disabled except the Boomshield, it should be an option
-Make an option to Disable all weapon pickups and make an option to choose a weapon for all weapon slots
-Make an option to turn off auto reload
-Give us more STATS, especially weapon stats for versus and horde
-Custom Map Cycles were great in Gears 1 and would be a welcome return
-Make Assists an in-game stat, not likely to happen but I try
-Better Map Rotation or Map Cycle ADDRESSED STILL ISSUES
-RETURN GUARDIAN! ADDED
-Remove the ability to pause private match games while other players are present FIXED
-Make an option to turn off MAN UP RULES for private matches. ADDED
-Fewer Hills and better locations during KOTH ADDRESSED
-Return Checkout's epic grocery music ADDRESSED MEMORY ISSUE

HORDE AND BEAST
-SOCIAL HORDE is in demand by community and needs to be added
-Horde needs better map voting. There should be 2 types of standard Horde, HORDE NO DLC and HORDE DLC. My idea is to vote by mappack instead of usual, we could get 3 options of 1) Random Launch map including booster and HCP 2) Random Fenix Rising map 3) Random Force Of Nature map, so the options will look something like this while voting 1)Azura 2) Academy 3) Raven Down 4) None Above
-Add the option to press a button on Command Post to override the countdown and immediately start the wave, this could also be done on any Command Post
-CLASSIC HORDE option for Private PLEASE!
-PLEASE FIX the Command Center glitch where you just keep pressing X and hearing Hoffman but nothing happens, and give us some assist points for the kills please
-Onyx Guard rebuild should be an option, making him smarter would be nice as well
-ADD ALL LOCUSTS TO HORDE! Spotter, Hunter, Miner, Savage Kantus, Marauder etc
-Fix the strange glitch on Overpass where team dies on restart of wave
-Revive should take priority when player is downed near a turret or silverback
-Money boxes should be less visible, they look similar to DBNO players in heat of battle, make them similar to KOTH hill locations, only seen while looking in their direction rather than cluttered up $ symbols on our side view, a green outline would be nice as well
-Fix the sliding Kantus glitch in Horde, when he heals he should stand still
-BEAST MODE we want more Beasts! Those slots can be filled
-Beast mode, make DPAD only option for selecting characters to prevent accidental selection with LS
-Butcher needs more damage for Beast, 1 hit should kill Stranded and COG Gears
-Boomers (boomer or digger) have an out of synch melee at times
-Fix the glitched names on Horde & Beast, they show up as "II" symbols sometimes
-Fix the "Ranked Disconnect" on horde and beast FIXED
-Better Horde Host Migration FIXED
-Founder ribbon should appear for every base not just the first one FIXED
-Give Grenadier and Drone full cover options FIXED

BOTS & WEAPON SKINS
-BOT LEADERS should not exist when there are enough players present in quick or private matches
-SWAPPING SECONDARY WEAPONS WITH BOTS SHOULD BE "Y" NOT "A" so many times you dive instead of swapping, other times they just dont have an option to swap at all Please Address
-Fix Bot Name errors, EXAMPLE: Killing Marcus but the battle feed says Anya ADDRESSED MEMORY ISSUE
-Give them the same delay for gnasher two piece, when they melee you with shotgun equipped YOU DIE lol
-They should be less accurate from past mid range firing a fully auto retro lancer
-Adjust the extra damaging ink grenade thrown by bots
-VERY PICKY VERY MINOR but is it possible to have no double bots in private? I hate being Classic Marcus and having MARCUS and UNARMORED MARCUS teammates
-GOLD GNASHER- The silver strip on top of gnasher defeats the whole purpose of a gold gnasher, it looks ugly, if the gun were blackened with gold trim it would look awesome, you would know this if you didnt have your gnasher constantly equipped lol
-ONYX GNASHER- some were disappointed that they werent noticeable, we are still left with a rusty gnasher with living black trim, take midnight skin, lose the omen, now add the living black trim! PERFECT ONYX imo
-Make an option to randomize skins every match, EXAMPLE: give two options of Random offset (Gold rifle, flaming shotty) or Random matching (Onyx Rifle, Onyx Shotty) that way we get full use of all weapon skins

GEARS 1&2 MISSING FEATURES
Please bring back the classic GIBS, or mix them in with the new ones if possible and why are the characters movement so silent in GEARS 3? i miss the heavy clanking of armor and pounding footsteps mixed in with heavy breathing and heartbeat, those things are also missing. I miss the dead bodies getting kicked around too. THE BLOOD IS NOWHERE NEAR AS DISGUSTING AS GEARS 2, chainsawing was awesome and explosion kills were bloody meat fountains i totally miss that. Also where is the emotion in the characters? Gears 2 characters facial expression had anger and focus, their eyes moved, they looked battle weary, here they look like dolls that dont blink, im sure its something that will never change but it just sucks to see a 2008 title have better facial expressions in their characters than characters from a 2011 game

[OScaveman]

Even if they recycled the actual audio from gears 1, I'd be happy if they changed A. Carmine's lines.

[Chief 270]

Vengeful and Ranked disconnect from horde/beast are a must.

[GroaningTurnip 2.0]

I just want then to make the game good.

[K87]

1. Fix Boomshot inconsistency.
2. Fix Mantle-kicking.
3. Make an icon, showing whether you are on P2P, or the servers, in the match you are in.
4. Fix the Digger inconsistency.
5. Frag Inconsistency.

Couple more I can't be bothered listing, but I would rather EPIC fix actual game-mechanics, than aesthetic things.

[K1LLER ANG3L]

That's a good wish list! I agree with everything.

[xxPRECIZIONxy]

Icon saying if your on dedicated servers or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RoboSeal1]

Icon saying if your on dedicated servers or not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a simple (HOSTED BY: epic games or roboseal) would be nice

[king-mark]

Add a line to the battle feed, saying someone on your team need revived. The current medic symbol is small and too discreet.

[Super Carmine Bros]

Mine:

Remove sawed-off/Classic playlist
Fix A/B Carmines lines
Add Guardian back

[Blue_Ninja]

You really covered it all besides a Classic Playlist.

[Afro Zombie]

I just want then to make the game good.

The game is good. You just happen to be apart of those few who are never satisfied until the game turns into something you want specifically at the cost of everyone else and their joy.

[Crimson]

I agree with your whole list. Especially when you pick another character default characters staying default, fixing the revive window of time since everyone has such low health (fixing this by possibly giving little more health), addressing Vengeful medal and ungagging MP characters, adding the battle-cries fixing A/B Carmine's lines.

Most of all: Warzone & Execution 5 rounds!!!!! TAC COM BUBBLES!!!!! and Classic Playlist!!!!!

[TrykieS]

I would like it if they fixed the resetting of levels going from lvl 65 to 1 really sucks

[NicodemusX0]

Bring back the sound bytes when ribbons are earned.
Show Medal Prestige (I.E) if you have double onyx "Assistant" put a two next to it for mp players to ohhh ahhh about.
Tac Com needs character weapon displays.

[RoboSeal1]

Bring back the sound bytes when ribbons are earned.

sound bytes? They played sounds?

[kirbyeatsbomberman]

Make the default COG the COG gear, better to have a couple of generic soldiers then 4 Marcuses on your team that just joined.

[Wickedblue13]

Infinite Ammo Mutator apply to all weapons, Weapon Change Loadout option is not possible during Split Screen.

[RoboSeal1]

Infinite Ammo Mutator apply to all weapons, Weapon Change Loadout option is not possible during Split Screen.

ill add that splitscreen option

[Chaos Isaac]

Medals that count across several game modes, not just versus.

[Optimus Healey]

like most but a few just seem abit to trivial to get worked up about

[Amazing]

I want them to also fix the minor bugs.
Like the name Anya* appearing over a Marcus bot..
New medal/ribbon icon appearing when you don't have new medals/ribbons.
..Stuff like that.

[iCRIHFIELD]

Make the default COG the COG gear, better to have a couple of generic soldiers then 4 Marcuses on your team that just joined.

This. This x1000. The Locust have a generic character for their default. I think the COG should have the same.

[Richtophen]

This. This x1000. The Locust have a generic character for their default. I think the COG should have the same.

agreed. they also need to make it so that I don't get the "your preferred character" is not available message when I've been in that damn lobby for a couple of games already. It makes sense joining into a game during the middle of it, but there is no excuse for the following matches where you are there since the beginning.

[OScaveman]

Make the default COG the COG gear, better to have a couple of generic soldiers then 4 Marcuses on your team that just joined.

Problem is, the cog gear is an unlockable character.. At level 2... Point still stands though.

[Lately]

Revive System is broken
Mantle Kick is broken
Crimson Omen health indicator should go back to how it was in GoW 1/2
Planted nades is dumb and shouldn't have been changed from the beta which was perfect.
S/O shotgun removed/more nerfed
Retro tweaked more
Exe/Warzone 5 rounds
Classic Playlist

[Deucecakes]

retro/SO removed from game or classic playlist implemented, that is all.

[RoboSeal1]

retro/SO removed from game or classic playlist implemented, that is all.

i have no problem with retro but classic playlist wont happen imo

[I KrazyFaken I]

Gnasher inconstancy. I think the game flips a coin to determine whether or not you gib an enemy.

[diddlyumpcious4]

I have to say. Most of these things NEED to be done. But most of these won't be changed in TU2, some probably won't ever.

[RoboSeal1]

Gnasher inconstancy. I think the game flips a coin to determine whether or not you gib an enemy.

tell me about it....a guy rolled right toward me on DryDock....i pulled the trigger NOTHING he headshots me mid roll on my screen at least

[Quadraxis]

1 thing and 1 thing only
"classic playlist"

[RoboSeal1]

what am i missing? lol so much stuff!!!

[Salvy xxlx]

Better team finding, classic playlist, tiny weapons on Cole and Clay, Flame skin for the retro. (mine is still locked)

[El Pistolero GL]

Highest level in your team should be leader first round, and bots should not be leaders.

[RoboSeal1]

Highest level in your team should be leader first round, and bots should not be leaders.

ctl needs faster overtime omg!!!! Its so horrible having both camping teams popping shots at eachother smh

[iGoDz II DraGon]

- Classic Playlist!
- Please fix Anthony Carmine!
- Joining in progress actually gives me my CHOSEN default character.
- Fix the Mantle Kick.
- A notice on whether or not the Servers are up.
- Fix the revive system.
- Address some medals (Vengeful etc.)

Epic still has much to do.

[Poli741]

Everything OP said. Also, shorten the time it tells you that you are leader in CTL. It takes like 10 seconds and I find it extremely annoying.

[Musuca]

1. Fix Boomshot inconsistency.
2. Fix Mantle-kicking.
3. Make an icon, showing whether you are on P2P, or the servers, in the match you are in.
4. Fix the Digger inconsistency.
5. Frag Inconsistency.

Couple more I can't be bothered listing, but I would rather EPIC fix actual game-mechanics, than aesthetic things.

All of OP's ideas plus this.

and these


* Fix the audio distortion theres so much of it especially from Brumaks.

* turn down that annoying horn on Trenches its so damn loud compared to anything else ingame. I have to mute my TV or turn it down alot just so it doesnt piss me off or others.

* Bug that tells us that we have a new ribbon even though theres no new ribbons. (!)

[RoboSeal1]

Horde issues.....


Revive next to turret PLAYER will grab turret even when not facing it
Turret buying and upgrade doesnt lock on, u have to be in perfect position compared to other fortifications
MAKE money boxes appear beginning of round or on taccom, it clutters the screen and looks like a revive symbol in heat of battle
