400+ (Now With More Judgment!) AGREE! The Wonders of Sera Map Pack Idea!

[jmfchuckie]

GUYS! ROUND UP THOSE MAPS THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT INTO THIS DLC IDEA!
I'm doing a DLC Idea called "Forgotten Idols" and it is based around maps and locations that became forgotten (Queen's Palace perhaps?). It is a Map Pack with 3 Classics, and this will also be included in a Season Pass 2 Idea scheduled to be complete by the end of May! So far, the DLC that will make it are:

Forgotten Idols
The Wonders of Sera
*NEW DLC IDEA* Us vs. Them (Think Beast )
*NEW DLC IDEA* Forgotten Chronicles

I don't like the "Wonders of Sera" title.

It's too My Little Pony-ish. Can't think of a grittier and darker title?

[Darklurkr23]

Sounds like it came straight from the leak-this to get hype mouth XD

Tottaly up for htis

AND WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY LITTLE PONY

Have to agree there. A lot of their DLCs have a gritter title, like you mentioned.

-Dark Corners
-RAAM'S Shadow
-Forces of Nature.

It's not too big of a deal, though.

[Total Lunatic]

i would buy that for a 1200msp

[24/7]

"where the sun doesn't shine" would make an excellent name for a locust-inspired map pack, justsayin

[DizzyRules]

This is a good collection, but security needs a tweak. I voted yes either way. Nice job OP

[julianwelton]

This. 7 maps, 7 wep skins, and 7 char skins.

I do miss classic Canals. Although, I would like the small physical changes to stay (no railings and etc).

[HyperOnyx]

Maybe "Nighttime Digital" could be called "Recon"?

[SewnMouthSecret]

I would enjoy it, but see no reason for it to be the last of the map packs. We will continue to buy them if they continue to make them. No new Gears for some time, if ever, so why not cash in on our lust for more maps?

[TenaciousTom]

Anything that gives me Canals and Fuel Depot gets my vote

[SkorgeFan98]

I totally agree. 100% behind this thread!! I hope EPIC consider on doing this! Awesome thread!

[Phlegethon]

I would prefer Pavillion and Day One to Canals and Tyro Station. I always found Tyro to be very clunky.

Otherwise sounds good. I'd accept most things really.

At this point, the maps are set. I may except it if enough people support it, but besides that, it's a done sea;.

[KaliniuS]

I would give my left nut for this map pack.

[lost soul99 nl]

I agree with a new map pack, but I disagree with most of these old maps. Tyro Station and Avalanche weren't ever public favorites so I feel this idea is very biased by the thread starter.

[jmfchuckie]

I would give my left nut for this map pack.

As much as this is funny, try to keep language and sexual terms to a limit. Don't want this Thread closed

[viperousamoeba]

I like everything about your post, except the last map pack part. lol Other than that its great.

[jmfchuckie]

Well, this is supposed to be like a Dark Corners. Once all DLC is released, this is the big goodbye.

[HoxtonHero]

Avalanche, Fuel depot and Tyro Station... best DLC i've seen on here so far!

[Phlegethon]

Well if Epic were to take this on the idea, they may take some other ideas anyway. But even if they didn't, I'd be happy.
Could always do a flashback map pack as well. Who knows what'll happen?

I like night time Security. Didn't like night Blood Drive or Jacinto but I feel Security would work.

[SenatorIvy]

I miss Nowhere. That was a good map for Horde.

I don't know why this pack would have to be the last map pack though; keep making stuff and I'll keep buying it. We've got people on the forums that have tattoos of Gears (though some aren't that stellar, haha!) to think that there's any question of whether or not more DLC would be bought is crazy. I've got 6-10 people that would love season 2.

[DarkNinja]

Seems awesome. It is like a Flashback with new maps and skins. Those are all one of my favorite words.

[HugoTheBoss]

Why such kind of Lame Character's? :0

I feel we need something fresh, something in the bunch that is new like SM in FoN.

[SweeeterTundra]

I like it

[The_Besty]

You lost me at River.

[robpears]

Yeah, I'd buy this but I wouldn't want it to be the last map pack. Also I'd prefer different maps to Canals and Security maybe Old Bones and Mausoleum.

[PUNCHED]

I would LOVE to play on these yet again

[prab200]

This would be amazing

[IHazTommyWiseau]

Looks very promising. I would buy it.

[lewisnic1]

This would basically be like a final Map Pack for Gears of War 3. Maybe not the last DLC, but the last Map Pack. It would include 5 Remade Maps and 3 new maps, which would all represent a certain industry of Sera, from transportation to beautiful government buildings, it would be the definition of Destroyed Beauty.

DLC: Wonders of Sera Map Pack
Cost: 1200 Microsoft Points
Contents- 10 Maps, 6 Character Skins, 7 Weapon Skins

Maps:

Avalanche- A mountain range outside of Landown, after Tremors from Locust Tunnels nearby, an avalanche has been on the verge of coming true. This Classic Map returns, with everything the way it used to be.


Canals- Canals is an artificial waterway inside of Char. Once a striving symbol of love and peace, after the Hammer Strikes, the inhabitants turned to ash, and ash storms began to move in. A heavy ash storm has rolled in, leaving your sight to a minimum. And to make matters worse, the Ash People could be mistaken for real enemies, posing very suspenseful gameplay.


Fuel Depot- Even though Summer has began on most of Sera, Fuel Depot returns with it's snowy roots. The Gas Tanks have been frozen over, causing one threat to be over with. However, much of the map is now decomposed, leaving more threats from the Hammer of Dawn to be caused. The map is now at night, as well.


River- River was once one of the most beautiful sights in all of Sera, but an Imulsion Pipe has leaked and the leaking Imulsion can be a cause for death. However, when not in use, the Imulsion will be out of use, giving safe passage to those who will take it.


Security- Security is a top secret COG Outpost that kept the secrets of the Sires. Now in the night, the map is still the way it was, Laser Wires and all. In Horde, the Laser Wires are activated by a Command Center.


Tyro Station- The final remake of this DLC, Tyro Station would return, but this time, the Train is on a random loop: no 15 seconds apart, it could be 5 seconds after, it could be a minute. It would make the gameplay more exciting, in my opinion. Also, a larger fog has rolled in, and the lights are the only thing that can guide you, because the train makes less noise.

Samhain- Samhain is a city block in Ephyra that was once a party spot. However, once the Lambent Plague began, all of the Stranded there became Formers, infesting the map with more and more of them. This would pose a threat as well as the enemy teams. The Formers wouldn't count as weapon kills to avoid boosting.

Ground Zero- Ground Zero is the center of the Hammer Strikes of Char. Once on of the largest cities in Sera, after the Hammer Strikes, the buildings are completely destroyed, and the Ash Figures are still there. A Hammer of Dawn is found in the center of the map, and the collapsed buildings make a sort of circle around the Hammer of Dawn.

Ilima- Ilima is a beautiful government building in a Seran city. After RAAM and his Elite Squad took apart Ilima, a large amount of Elite Weaponry was found. In the garages next to the government garden, there are Elite Sawed-Off Shotguns for anyone to take. In the center fountain, now bloody and dried, there is a set of Kryll Grenades for the lucky user to find them. Inside the building, a Scorcher is found, making a strong CQC powerweapons for the small maze-of-a-garden outside.

Character Skins-
Classic Tai
Classic Hoffman
Cyclops
Bolter
Skorge
Troika Gunner


Weapon Skins-
Team Camo- The Camo Skin with a Red/Blue depending on Team
Team Imulsion- Imulsion with a Team based look, looking like Ice and Lava
Nighttime Digital- Black Digital Camo; Grey tints
Smoke- Haze with a Grey Edit
Team Liquid- Liquid Metal with Red and Blue Edits
Copper- Team Metal made into Copper
Sand- A Oil Slick variety that is a Sandy look to it

Unlockables-
Team Liquid- Win 5 Matches in any mode on all Wonders of Sera DLC Maps (Any Mode)
Nighttime Digital- Win 50 Matches on Security (Any Mode)
Copper- Get 100 kills on Tyro Station (Any mode)
Team Liquid- Finish 50 Waves of Horde on EVERY Wonders of Sera Map Pack Map, on Normal or above.
Skorge- Finish all 12 Waves of Beast on all Wonders of Sera Maps
Classic Tai- Beat Horde on Insane on River

Why have unlockable characters and weapon skins? Now that Gears of War 3's Gamerscore Cap is filled, Epic should give us unlocks to give us more to accomplish.

Why have them be so difficult? Because Gears of War and Gears of War 2 had difficult, time consuming achievements, not achievements unlocked the first day.

I love this thread. I also think its awesome to see Security in the dark.
Skorge and Cyclops are also a MUST!

[Vancouva]

Great thread, great maps, you got my support!

Only other map I would have added is Mausoleum from Gears 1.

[sayhitomom]

i like everything but the stuff you need to do to get the skins and characters.

[RockRadd]

everything it's ok but at least consider the map "day one"... for me is one of the best maps ever! i hope you guys include this map...

[Bubbasmash]

I love anything new that I can have fun on everything looks cool but I would focus on unlocking team liquid and classic tai since they seem to be the toughest.

[T-BONE]

You put a lot of hard work into this. Good job. It will be most likely for nothing. Some of the map choices made in this topic are terrible.

River - One of the worst maps in Gears 2. Camping, buggy, power weapon craze fest. Please don't ever bring this map back.

Tyro station - God awful. Horrible in both games. This map has no right to be in all 3 gears games. Maybe if the train was broken down, on fire and added route to go through it... but it wont happen.

Fuel Depot - Another map that shouldn't be in all 3 games. I did enjoy this map, but it's stale.

Canals - Buggy map, doesn't need to be in all 3. Stale.

Bring back Mausoleum, Fuel STATION, Old Bones - some maps we haven't seen for years.

The new map ideas sound cool. I'd hope we get new maps before oldies.

[BlueDodger]

We need more enviromental hazard maps.

We only have Trashball scoreboard, Bulletmarsh Kryll, and...that's it

Bring back Old Bones (one of the best DLC maps ever!)

[Bspencer]

Insane Horde just for Tai is a bit much, when you can play any difficulty of beast and get Skorge. Winning 50 matches is also too many even though people can boost, there are those who prefer the MP way and w/new maps makes it less likely they will play on that map. And I hope all the maps aren't designed with the nighttime aspect, it's getting a bit repetitive, plus most fighting in GOW3 campaign took place during the day. I love your idea for Canals and River map effect, not too many of the current maps have deadly effects (just Thrashball's falling scoreboard as I think about it). Good ideas though I voted yes.

[BrutalPotato]

If Alex Brand and the Maps Pavilion and Day One was in it, oh who am I kidding i'd still get it. Though I don't really care for Tyro Station.

[Viewing the hue]

I hope they remake all the maps a perfect end to this trilogy.
