Future DLC Ideas

[ElGordo94]

[SPOILERS]

If you like my ideas, keep this post alive by spreading the word or something.

I've seen other posts talking about this topic and I wanted to share some of my ideas and hear some others.
Please post a reply sharing some of your ideas.


MAPS
Honestly I want to see every map come back. All of them. Including Day One, Stasis, Hail etc. But I highly doubt this will happen, so...
I want to see River, Ruins, Security, Tyro Station, Fuel Depot, Hail
Security: This guy had an idea to make it take place at night, add alarm sounds in the background and add lights that move to add more of a "Security" feeling.
River: This map should stay in the day but make it so that when you're in the river place, that it floods at times killing anyone down there.
Ruins: No major changes.

I want to see a new underground map or a map modeled after the chapter in Gears of War 1 when they're on the train. The map should be staged on the train while it is moving.
I want to see more uniqueness and creativity to maps.

There was also this guy, JMFCHUCKIE, that had brilliant ideas. I really like both of his new map ideas, Barge and Nightmare.

Characters
I want to see:
Carlos Santiago(Dom's brother)
Alex Brand(search her up, she seems cool)
Maria Santiago(Dom's wife)
D. Carmine(the fourth Carmine brother)
Classic Tai(I kinda hate the new model for Tai)
Classic Hoffman
Skorge
Cyclops
Helena Stroud(Anya's mother)
Queen Myrrah(Myrrah in her Royal Robes or whatever she had on in Gears of War 2)
Palace Guard
Chaps, Franklin and Hanley.(the Stranded dudes from the old games)



Campaign
Locust Campaign: I would like to see a campaign where you play as the Locust fighting against the Lambent down in the Hollow.
*This campaign could have Skorge in it making him a bigger threat. The Queen can give him orders and he can lead your squad(or you can take control of him)
*This DLC could come with multiplayer skins Skorge, Cyclops, Palace Guard and Queen Myrrah

Carmine Campaign: I would like to see a campaign focused on the Carmine Brothers or where the Carmines play a very big role.(4 brothers, 4 players)
*This DLC could come with multiplayer skin D. Carmine

Pendulum Campaign: I would like to see a Pendulum Campaign with Dom's brother. Maybe when he died or something. And Anya's mother could be in there to.
*If this campaign were to feature Dom, at least for a second, he could be in his Commando Dom skin.
*This campaign could come with multiplayer skins Carlos Santiago, Helena Stroud, Pendulum versions of Bernie, Hoffman and Marcus(before he got his scar) and Maria.

Female Campaign: Me and a couple of other people would like to see an all female campaign. You know, a campaign where it shows the females of the COG point of view. It would be interesting.
*This campaign could come with Alex Brand.



Beast Mode
I would like to see more Locust like a Grinder, Theron Guard, Sniper, Flame Grenadier, Shrieker(maybe, I don't really care for this one), Sires(would be interesting)

I also think there should be a Locust Leader tier. This tier would include RAAM and Skorge. And if Epic could find a unique fighting style for Myrrah, her too.
RAAM: Kryll(takes some time to reload to make it more challenging), Knife(as seen in RAAM's Shadow), Troika Heavy Machine Gun(as seen in Gears of War 1)
Skorge: Ink Grenades, Gorgon Pistol, Dual-Chainsaw Staff, is able to jump high(but not ridiculously high due to limitations on gameplay), heal/revive team mates,
Myrrah: ?

This might seem like it would be almost impossible to lose but they could add extra waves, about 3-8, more COG/Stranded, and new fortifications like the Silverback rockets, Flame Sentry, and Onyx Guard decoys make it more challenging. And obviously these choices will cost a lot to play as.
If they really want to add more difficulty to Beast mode, they could add Lambent enemies as well. Just a thought.



Horde
I would like to see the Sires come back.
New Bosses would be cool

• Myrrah and her Tempest(the war beetle)
• RAAM(He could have the Kryll at some points or his Machine Gun that he had in Gears of War 1)
• Skorge(He could have the Gorgon Pistol, Ink Grenades, and he could challenge you to a chainsaw-battle at times, he could jump up like the Lambent Berserker)
• THE RIFT WORM!!!(I'm just kidding...or am I)

Weapon Skins
I do not have any ideas for this because I'm happy with my Gold Omens but I'd like to see creative designs.
This guy has some AMAZING weapon skin designs.

Additional Content
I really want to play a free-for-all mode. I really like working by myself and not worrying about idiots on my team. I know a lot of other people want to see this too and I know that Epic hasn't made this yet because of issues of spawning, but I think they can find a way around it.

A Classic Horde option would be nice. But this new mode shouldn't be an edited version of Horde 2.0
In this new event Horde, they just disabled fortifications, boss waves, Savage Locusts and the Lambent, and the upgrade wave(where you take a break to upgrade fortifications and pick up ammo. this made it so that you couldn't look for ammo), and made the buy back price $999999. Epic should start over to make this new Classic Horde option. But I don't think this should be a DLC, it should be a free update.

I would rather have the maps in alphabetical order than "random" choices in Quick Matches. I say "random" because I am constantly getting the same maps 4 or 5 times out of 10 choices. At least in alphabetical order I know what to expect and it isn't constantly repeating Bulletmarsh or Overpass. This has to be an update.

Guardian should be playable in Private matches.

I also think Epic should reward its long time fans by having characters unlocked by previous Gears achievements. For Ex. Officer Anya(her old uniform) unlocked by having a campaign achievement from Gears of War 1. But this should be an update, not a DLC.

Some things that I think need to be changed:
* you should be able to switch weapons while roadie running
* weapon changing should be a little faster, like .2 seconds faster
* bots: they rush for all the weapons and do not do anything productive with it
when they execute or pick up weapons they slide towards the end, making them harder to hit
do not suffer from recoil
nearly perfect accuracy, even when hip firing
* when you're shot, even by the smallest graze, you flinch incredibly. Bots however, do not.
* when someone is in the process of going down, they are momentarily invincible. So if you stick someone with the torque bow and they go down immediately after, when the torque explodes, it does not kill them.
* you should be able to destroy your own grenades
* YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOOT WHILE USING YOUR TAC COM!!!!(except maybe when your leader)




If you like my ideas, please keep this thread alive by spreading the word or something.
I will constantly be editing this because I might get new ideas or read of others with ideas to.

[Envy Distortion]

Love the idea of the Carmine Campaign DLC. I want more Campaign DLCs like Raam's Shadow and more updates for Horde/Beast.

[GearsIsAwesome]

Add a re-up and i like you

[A Lanky Cog]

Fully support the Campaign DLC, espcially the Locust & Pendulum one, always wanted to experience Locust and pre locust campaign wars from reading the books

[prab200]

Amazing ideas!

[Kawmik]

I posted a thread saying they need Maria in this game and everyone almost stoned my to death WTF.... I would love to see Process make a return

[Savage Dovahkiin]

This is the greats f$&@in idea ever i want the palace guard i wanted to play as him so bad and as alex brand and classic horde too im not a fan of the new horde mode well its ok but its the same old same old stuff sorry for the swearing but this is still a greatest idea ive ever read nice i give u a 1,000,000,000,000 thumbs up

[RedKiller666]

I think the pendulum wars should be kept for the next gears of war trilogy.

[Savage Dovahkiin]

Because they have a gears of war zero almost in the making there just seeing if all gears of war games become a success thats what Cliffy B. said

[Cyclops 100]

Great thread! I would love to see all of your ideas.

[Mr. K-Dawg]

I remember reading somewhere that the only map Epic wouldn't bring back for gears 3 was rooftops.

[THE MITCH BEAST]

I think they should do a campaign where you play as a squad of ordinary Gears, all the ones from the gears series with the different helmets and voices etc, and take part in huge battles which you dont see when playing through the normal series. Then have those Gears as multiplayer characters.

[THE MITCH BEAST]

Or a Veteran Onyx Guard?

[DaRkNeSs]

Or a Veteran Onyx Guard?

Aren't Onyx Guards the veterans anyway? Lol

[Sniper Spr3e]

i honestly dont know why everyone wants the battle of aspho fields (if you want it when carlos dies) as nothing really happens. most of the time marcus and carlos are just waiting for enemies to get close enough to kill so they stay hidden alittle. only action is 1 kill in the facility and a small vehicle section really (which would be single player)

the pendulum wars would make a terrible setting i think really.

but the others are cool ideas

[DR0TAR]

Would like a lament beast mode...
Like regular beast, but only with lament...

For horde, I'm digging the creepy crawlies...
Would like to see more lambent vrs locust during horde... Where the humans just kinda fight to survive... But aren't the main target of the aggression...

Would be nice if weapon pick ups were free....

Dredge attack... All dredges, all the time.... And maybe a mauler or two...

Sonic the revenge hog... Savage kantus only vrs torque bow....

Weapon based horde.... Knife fight, barbecue, free unlimited turrets...

Savage hunt... More points for killing the savage locust...

I like switching up the play style on weekends, keeps things fresh and so clean.

I would just like to see maps & skins from that era, pendulum marcus, carlos santiago & helena stroud with an ashpo fields map.

Your right though, a story based campaign about that battle would not be very exciting.

[acidsektor]

id love to see more mutators! for horde and arcade .. if you could configure your horde eg. ca$h, amount of turrets, auto repair fortifications etc .. would be geat ..

[MarcusFenix8784]

Like the Idea of the Carmine Campaigns and the new chars but I would also like to se an LE Adam Fenix

[John Matrix]

More Zeta Squad campaigns..

[Kue901]

No more dlc is being released.

[acidsektor]

i woudl rather pay retail price of a new game for all the DLC ideas here in the forum then pay for a new gears game !!

its a sad day =/

[E.P.I.C. Lizard]

I'm not sure when GOWJ is coming out, but i'm fairly confident it's not this year, and hence I don't understand why they would not do at least one or two more DLC bits for gears 3.

[acidsektor]

with GWJ far away in 2013, we might have a chance to get at least a TU .. or not?

[Mista Peerez]

Rod Ferguson stated that all DLC for gears 3 is done. Sad day.

That sucks, I would of liked to see a DLC mini campaign story all about the origins and rise to power of Queen Myrrah. Why she looks like a human, why she decided to turn against her own kind, why and how she decided to become Queen of the Locust Horde, and her dealings with Adam Fenix to try and save the Locust from the Lambent. Pre Gears 1 prequel story. Perhaps as DLC for Judgment?

[ColeXBaird teamup]

i wondering what is Epic's deal and not putting in Alex Brand in a Gears gmae

[Phillip]

Great ideas love the campaign ideas

[Carmine-Craze]

was hoping that someone else wanted carlos for multiplayer but hopefully they put him in judgment.

also carmine campaign thumbs up!

No. Just no.

Epic will ruin it if they tell us how it happened. See, with things like that, it's better just to use your imagination. The prologue of GOW3 pretty much ruined how I imagined Marcus trying to save his father.

Eh, it's pretty different to how it happened in his nightmare anyway, but same here, neither were as I imagined it, though in the Slab it was closer to my imagination back when Gears 1 was released.
