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

[jmfchuckie]

It 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. There is a Mortar in the middle of the map, which proves to be very deadly in the narrow alleyways
Power Weapons- Mortar, Gorgon Pistol [2], Breechshot [2]

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 (OverRun)- 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 Camo- 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? 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 would buy it, but if it's called "The Seven Wonders of Sera" then shouldn't there only be 7 things included?

[Vinyl Scratch]

I like it. Especially Samhain.

[cogthrasher]

I hated Securiy and the laser wires but thats only my opinion

Typo. Originally, it was supposed to be 7, but I wanted to add Tyro Station to the maps. That was the father of all environmental kills, right?

Hey, you can't have everyone's favorite map. Do you like the others though?

Second to the avalanche.

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

[jmfchuckie]

Fixed the typo and added a poll

[TylertheCreator]

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

That'd be the Ultimate DLC Package. i approve of this.

I do like your ideas for the maps but throw avalanche in there too

8 Maps is already a lot...

[ChocolateBacon]

Ehhh... no to Security, River and Tyro. River is just bad. Too many power weapons and too much camping. Not to mention, the spawns are too far from the first piece of cover.

As for Security... imagine how bad it would play with Rifles/DBS. Remember, in the beginning of games, people would run through the hallway to get into the button room? Well, an active Lancer could down you before you even get close to the room. Rifles would just ruin that map.

Was never a fan of Tyro. Way too much camping. The train is just annoying. Only good thing about the map? The easter egg. lol

I would like to see Nowhere, Memorial and Allfathers Garden. I'm not too sure how the first two would play out with the power of the rifles, but I think Allfathers could work if they opened up the gate in every mode.

[DragonEmperor]

I dislike the characters honestly, new locust over old locust and I think the new hoffman and tai are perfectly fine.

This guy is right, The rifles would be pretty ridiculous on Security, Tyro was alright. I would hate getting stuck on the traintracks though climbing the ledge.. I would want Avalanche Replaced with it and maybe War Machine could be in there. It was a Symmetrical map with Good Power weapons evenly seperated.

Just in case y'all don't feel left out, this is a community designed DLC, hence "The Wonders of Sera" it would be the most wonderful things. ATM, I may change Security with Avalanche. As for Tyro, we'll see.

[TempleVIPER1]

More maps more maps more maps......so hell yeah! Great write ups by the way. Plus the pics. Now that I see the pics I do remember River.

[vVv Fang vVv]

It's got Fuel Depot. I like it.

Keep in mind, not all maps are primarily made for Versus. Some are created to be more Horde- and/or Beast-centric, like Overpass and Sandbar. Security is a classic Horde map, and one could even argue it's the "forefather" of Horde 2.0.

I know, I'm just saying it would be terrible in Versus.

[RobertTrinidad]

Yayyyyyyyyy more people giving ideas for DLC!! I hope EPIC is checking all this stuff.

[Gears of Wario]

Umm..no Skorge?

[Wu-tang Banger]

Like all the maps and what not, but if it was wonders of sera, I'd expect to play on new maps with unique locations. Like pyramids, stonehenge, olympia are examples of earth's wonders, so sera better have some really cool ones, half destroyed from age and war.

[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.

WILL DO WEAPON SKINS TOMORROW! IDEAS ARE APPRECIATED!

I love this idea I think its AWESOME, by the way I think its best if you add Skorge to your character list as both him and Cyclops have high demand and they are the likely characters to return at any time.

[Tysodie]

I'd definitely buy it, has some of the best maps I've played on, plus some nice character skins

[jmfchuckie]

Umm..no Skorge?

Well, adding to this: ADDING CHARACTER SKIN IDEAS TODAY!

[CF711]

River and Security would need to be tweaked if they were to work with the GoW3 mechanics (mainly stopping power). Other than that I think this is the first Community DLC that I actually approve of so congrats. I hope that Epic takes notice of this.

Well, I'll imply that many of these maps would be tweaked, much like Jacinto. Considering the amount of demand in some of these maps, I believe Epic needs to add them. If they mildly tweaked Jacinto w/out much outcry, simple changes to these maps wouldn't hurt.

[RandyIcon]

Tyro station seems like it would be bad with GoW 3 rifles in my opinion. However, that is only because I value skilled gameplay. I know most of this community doesn't so this is probably perfect for you. Just thought I'd point out how slow it will play.
All the other maps are cool and I would probably eventually buy them even though I hate the way this games versus plays for the most part.

[A GIANT WORM]

It looked so legit with the photos . I would definitely buy this

[Onyx Guarrd]

I like it.

[Dutchmaster Guru]

I would love this and love it even more of it included mansion

[jmfchuckie]

I'm sorry, I had no intention to trick you. Maybe, next time you see this, it will be legit?

Actually, I was thinking about adding Mansion. After long evaluation, Mansion is NOTHING like Hotel. There isn't the maze, no main stairs, etcetra.

[Sharkshot]

The Security image looks absolutely brilliant.

The Security image looks absolutely brilliant.

It came from a Thread in the Gears of War 2 Section of the Forums. The guy that showed it was DarkAp89.

[xXPUNISH3RXx]

This is a great idea. Take out Tyro Station and replace it with Ruins or Subway and we have a deal

I tried as much as I could to make there be equality of Rifle-based Maps and Shotgun-based maps. However, I feel there are more Rifle-maps that are classic. Just note that Samhain and Ground Zero would be big on CQC, with a small area for Rifle fights. Ilima would be medium range, but the Elite Sawed-Off's would be for the Garden Maze, which you could become lost in. Canals, with the Ash Storm, would be very CQC, because you cannot see very well besides that.

[jmfchuckie]

Updated op with weapon skins! Added skorge and one other locust to the characters. Skorge and classic tai would be unlocks, skorge for beating beast on all wonders of sera maps and tai for beating insane horde on River.
