Petition to include Classic playlist as an event [Get Gnashty! playlist alternative]

[xttraumatiize]

Before I continue with this thread, I want state a few things. The idea for this playlist isn't exclusively set for fans of previous Gears games. Before any assumptions are made, no, I have nothing against the Retro or Sawed-Off (I'm all for every existing playstyle), and yes, I understand that this is Gears 3, but variety does no harm, and we can see that in the Forces of Nature section.

The idea came to me after playing several matches on Raven Down 24/7. The Gnashers only playlists are fun, but they can only be fun for so long (even with the special snub pistol). Instead of making a playlist Gnashers only, which is essentially a playlist that favors a more classic/traditional playstyle, why not make one entirely Classic-like? The playlist would not only offer the classic/traditional playstyle, but other Classic elements as well.

The ideas I'm giving here are meant to serve as a blueprint, and they are based on the multiplayer experience from previous Gears games with Gears 3 in mind. I'll be checking the thread often and reading feedback. If you have an idea of your own, anything, feel free to share.

If you feel like Epic won't listen, don't feel that way. Epic said they look at popular demand for content. If we support this enough, it can happen I know there's been a couple of Classic playlist threads before, but they didn't pick up at the time for a few reasons, like concerns of having multiple playlists and slower matchmaking times, of further splitting the community, the 8 playlist limit when there was only Versus, etc. But things are different now. Epic has shown they are open to ideas, just as long as they make sense.

IMPORTANT: Discussions are encouraged, but please, please, please no trolling or flaming. If this thread doesn't particularly fancy you, just find one that does. Don't let discussions get out of hand. Always follow FORUM RULES. And if you see anyone getting disrespectful, etc., just report them without replying.

Things I left out and why

-Ink Grenade stun: I'm not sure if the stun can be disabled. Also, if the stun was taken out, the grenade itself would be useless.

-Smoke Grenade stun: I'm not sure if it can be disabled.

-Leader X-Ray vision: I'm not sure if it can be disabled.

-Leader Symbols on their heads: I'm not sure if it can be disabled.

-8 players (4v4): There are other playlists that already offer 4v4.

-Active reload: Gears always had it.

-Rifle Damage: I didn't include it since I'm already suggesting stopping power be turned off, but if enough people feel it should be lowered a bit, I'll edit the OP.

Additional Notes:

-I can see some people worrying over Guardian being played on Bullet Marsh, Clock Tower, and Escalation, but I don't think it'll be a problem really. The leaders in Bullet Marsh and Clock Tower will have to move once in a while around the map just like in Raven Down. In Escalation, the leaders would probably think about staying at spawn, but they'd have to move eventually in case someone from the opposite team spawns there.

-Sort of off topic: I think we need two or three more Gears 2 map remakes

Yes I would love this. I run with my shotgun, it's basically my primary rifle you could say, and I don't enjoy Gnasher only playlists. They become dull after 2 or so matches.

GENIUS, this would be amazing

[bronx bomber]

I feel like epic has given us enough IMO
Zeta and Alpha

ever since the 4th DLC I have no other complaints about the game
maybe more Dedicated Servers but that's about it

[Maaaaaz]

It basically seems like Alpha or Zeta though.
Still, I don't see why not.

[Renegade_X]

I see you are following into my footsteps my son.

I hope epic reads this!
