Custom options for Horde (290+ voters) Exp modifier update at 300.

[Timmzy27]

Being a Locust rebel may be fun but you may attract some bullets from your teammates because you didn't looks like locust,YOU ARE THE LOCUST !
And that's not a good idea if the friendly fire mutator in on.

This is also a fairly good point.

[julianwelton]

Yeah, I see real potential for more options in horde for the wave interval setting. I just want 5 second intervals so I'm not waiting 20 years before the next wave.

Yeah but this is for private. Either you or your friend is going to be choosing the settings so obviously you can discuss what those settings will be beforehand.

Yeah, thats what I'm saying, I wanna make it so there is only 5 seconds between waves in private horde so again I'm not waiting 20 years XD

[HugoTheBoss]

I still strongly support this idea! Locust Chars. in Horde!

[Timmzy27]

I'm still on the fence about that, I like the idea of being able to play as a locust in horde (just for fun) but I can see people getting angry at team mates for making them think they were an enemy.

I'm an idiot. I misread your post lol. Somehow, not sure how, I thought you said more options would cause problems lol. I don't know what happened. DYSLEXIA!!!!

LOLZ, no worries man. I created the thread for all these options so NO, I don't think they would cause problems XD.

Totally support this Would love to see some more horde customization options considering that what we have now is barebones. Some more fortifications would be nice to like something that automatically spots things for you.

Oh Jordan, I do like the idea of some fortifications such as the decoy spotting enemies for you, that would be cool but I'm mainly talking about pre game options on the main menu of the game and not in-game features.

[Tomen68]

I don't know if it was already discussed here, but what's about pickup weapons customization like in versus playmodes? This wouldn't need any new GUI, because the customization screen already exists ...

It was mentioned briefly, I think EPIC should prioritize some of the options in OP first

[Judg3mentDrag0n]

I think having enemy options would be a good way to make things easier or harder on yourselves.

[Horde Man]

I think fortification cost could be handy. Making them more expensive would make levelling up easy, and making them cheaper would make the horde easier.

Yeah, but just like the mutators, it should ratio how much XP/fortification progress you would get if certain "options" are turned on or off etc.

[Doctor Pie 7056]

This is pretty good I don't play horde that much as I am a multiplayer guy myself but still this is pretty neat

[RoboSeal1]

Can i vote for all poll options?

[RoboSeal1]

Recently visited ghost recon fs forums and they show respect for all that gears does and gives their fans yet ubisoft cant give what we take for granted

Yes, it is a multi vote poll (Or it should be at least)

Yeah, Though Ubisoft have a lot of franchises other than GR, such as Assassin's Creed, Driver, Rayman and a bunch of others so I guess it is just harder for them to cater to everyone at once. EPIC Games however is a one game at a time kind of company mainly making there money from licensing out the Unreal engine as well as sales for their games.

I'd just like to see more playlists for Horde.

>Social
Just like in Gears 2 where public players could drop in and out.

>Classic
Based on Horde from Gears 2, no mutators, fortifications, lambent enemies, boss waves, ect.

>Hardcore
Self explanatory. Hardcore difficulty

>Party
Gives you the ability to host public matches, choosing the difficulty, map and mutators.

>DLC
Play public matches on downloadable maps only.

All of the above could also be incorporated into Beats mode.

I was all up in Social horde for Gears 2 but I don't agree with it for Gears 3 as I think it would separate the population just a little too much. I agree with Classic horde obviously as I made a whole thread about it (which can be found in my sig) before it came back as a weekend event. I also agree with Hardcore Horde also as it would be a challenge, I don't quite get "Party" as you might as well just do private matches so you can choose the map, mutator etc. 100% agree with DLC horde as well, getting quite sick of having all these new maps and then people vote for Mercy, Sandbar or Overpass to make it a grind.

If EPIC do make these Horde playlists then they should prioritize them in the following order:

- DLC
- Classic
- Hardcore

and Social I don't think they should do for my reason above.

Although that your post had some good ideas, they are not "Options" for private horde so unfortunately I can't quote into the OP as a highlight.

[Onyx Guarrd]

I vote yes for all.

Deff need more options.

[Timmzy27]

I vote yes for all.

Deff need more options.

Yes, yes we most certainly do.

[Doctor Pie 7056]

You should be allowed to make your own horde set up like the command center goes here and there and all that

[Timmzy27]

Would be cool, but I think all the fortifications have set places where they are meant to be, other wise you could put like 8 barriers behind each other and never get touched but I still think it would great to do.

The Sentry's do that, technically.

When you hear a Sentry fire, use your tac-com and you can see what it is shooting.

I think he means something along the lines of the decoy actually spotting enemies for you so it has the marker above their head.

[Actene]

The bots would be cool, especially given the amount of solo/split-screen Horde I play, but the rest just wouldn't add all that much. Heavy customization options were extremely cool in Halo: Reach's Firefight mode, but the more fluid nature of Halo's FPS gameplay allowed for a lot more flexibility as far as movement and strategy went. With GoW, even the option to skip ahead to set waves never really caught on with me. The fun's always been in the steady progression as you level up fortifications to deal with the harder opponents.

Well, at least wave interval time and fortifications off/on would do me.

[Doctor Pie 7056]

Would like to have it so you can set which bosses come. If you do this though it will lock all achievos

[medowiemauler]

Good idea but if you change with certain setting like everything is free you shouldnt be able to get combat engineer.

Good points, I agree it should lock certain ribbons/achievements if not all related to horde if some of these OPTIONS are activated.

[DORK LordSaget]

I would personally like custom enemies and bosses

As would I, but we can only hope.

I like the idea of turning fortifications on and off as I fully support Classic Horde, AI Bots too because I often play solo (or split-screen).

However wouldn't the Wave Enemies option be a little complicated and difficult to implement into the game? Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant idea, but I doubt it's ever going to happen.

As for the free fortifications option, it could be more suited as a mutator . Though making them free would make it too easy. You'd have a silver back with rockets, surrounded by laser wire and fire sentries before wave 1 even starts.
Not sure whether you remeber from last year, but there was an event in Horde which made all the fortifications cheaper. It worked really well, was a lot of fun and didn't make the game so much of a cakewalk.

Yeah,I can't believe the low amount of interactivity for horde, its basically copy and pasted from GoW2 option wise.

[sethace2010]

I love every single one I don't really like playing with people. Though it would be nice if they weren't onyx guard bad (AI team-mates)

[julianwelton]

I'd also like a "time between rounds" option.

[Timmzy27]

That was going to be one of my original options but when I was writing up the thread I completely blanked on that one XD.

[Dangerous Dave]

I had my hopes up that Horde 2.0 had those options, I kept telling my mates I am going to set it to all Boomers or something along those lines.

I really really want infinite ammo to encompass all the weapons, damn I had the mood of a bear with a sore head after all that grinding I did for that mutator.

Anyway, I voted for all of them; fully supported sir!
