Judgment -- Community Ideas Thread

Community Ideas Thread

I thought of this idea a while ago...but thought now would be a good time to make it...as the GoW:J forum is now up

Objective:
This thread can be used to list ideas that we the community have for GoW:J that we think may have not been thought of
-ex: Have you considered trying the 'Class System' in Horde?

Rules:
-No Flaming
-Don't just complain
--if you have a problem with something, suggest and idea of what you want to see.

Guidlines:
-If you have a detailed description of a gametype/medal (or a really long idea) I'll link it in the OP

I'm not sure how well this thread will be accepted...so lets see
-----------------------------------------------------

Changes
VS:
• Allow for more options in Private Matches by allowing us to scroll through option (because there isn't enough room on-screen)
• Make characters more talkative online.
• Allow of custom map cycling in Private Matches (GoW1 style)

Horde/Beast:
• Allow for more option in these modes (enemy type, weapon spawns, ect)
• Large list of horde changes here

• The CoG is much better off than in GoW1, we would like to see some of their technology (that was destroyed and not in GoW1-3)

Updated through post #446

[bchaps]

Remember, I'm just putting in our suggestions.

Just because it is in the OP doesn't mean that everyone agrees on it....
...it just means that there are some people who would like the change

I won't be putting in things that they have obviously thought of (or are rude)
ex:
-balance the weapons
-have a beta
-give us more ____

[SWATSTRIKE]

-Capture the Flag for Versus (credit to Amazyn). --Source link TBD--

-Not really a new idea, but keep the language alive and colorful.

CTF and Bomb difusal were ones I wanted to add...but couldn't find the link

Keeping the language alive is a good one though

[Ant Heuser]

One thing I'd like to see is in Private games, the option to select what maps you want to play on-- Remember Gears 1 private games? You could add/ remove maps from the pay list, I'd like to see that return

So, custom map cycling?
--totally agree.
(and so do all of the private boosters )

Yeah, I don't remember the technical term, I just remember it was possible in Gears 1. You choose the maps you like, and take out the ones you don't lol Custom map cycling works.

[GearsCat]

My ideas.

1.Make a beta.I like getting exclusive items to bring on in the retail game.

2.Less pre-order bonuses.How about only 2 or 3?

3.Make more dlc.Don't leave Gears of War judgment on it's own after only 4 dlcs.

[NeroRevolver]

I want tac com bubbles to return.

I hate not knowing who has what weapon.

Yea, I liked that about Gears 1 Tac-Com.

How about Mutators available in private games? I know it's a bit far fetched but it's an idea, or choosing what weapon we spawn with-- Custom game settings.

--or some changes to the current one

In OP already
• Allow for more options in Private Matches by allowing us to scroll through option (because there isn't enough room on-screen)

[Valafar123]

Mechanics:

Hitboxes MUST be exactly the same.

Remove the mantle kick.

Executions:

My friend had this awesome idea for a meatshield execution. Currently we have the neck snap. My friend thought it would be cool if we pulled the pistol out of the meatshield's holster, put it against the roof of the meatshield's mouth and blow its brains out.

I'd also like to see fast executions come back like they had in GoW2. I loved golf clubbing people while sliding by.

Character Unlocks: (REALLY want this incorporated)

Commando: General RAAM
Suicide Missionary: Skorge
Now That's Just Crazy: Myrrah

Veteran Gear: Palace Guard

Weapon Skins:

Veteran Gear: Gold set
Again!: Gold Omen set
Lambency: Imulsion set

---but I'll put in suggestions for new characters/weapons

[Valafar123]

I just love the idea of the respective final bosses being unlocked for their game's insane achievement.

How about

Executions:
• Kill meatshield with its own pistol by placing it in their mouth and shooting them.
• GoW2 fast executions.

Would also love to see a Trinity of Worms medal for having all three Seriously achievements.

Oh, and I'll add that medal...cool idea.

[Mr Shabba Dabba]

Minor change, but the ability to change your weapon skins - if there are any - after (or mid) game like you can characters.

[bchaps]

Ya, I had this idea a long time ago...I wish they would do it.
My idea was: (replaces the current left/right to change between lives)
Up: shot gun skin
Down: rifle skin
Left: change shotgun
Right: change rifle

[Valafar123]

Palace Guard, Cyclops and Bolter should definitely be included.

I'd like to see Old Guard return as well as an equivalent for Gears of War 3.

Old Guard; Member of the Old Guard: have Veteran Gear from Gears of War 2.

Infected; Pandemic Survivor: have Again! from Gears of War 3.

[shen Gaoren AJ]

I like all of the ideas exspect two, characters more talkative online because while the character is talking you could be flanking and it can give your flanking away. Also why not mantle kick? Everthing else I strongly agree on everything inlcuding the exclusives that don't require purchases. Great ideas

These aren't all my ideas.
....while many of them are (thread is fairly new), they are a collaboration of community ideas

As for the ones you don't like...I agree actually.
--but I'm just putting in all ideas.

[shen Gaoren AJ]

WOW GREAT IDEAS!!!! Hope that would be in the new gears game, sounds like fun.

[Predalian5]

Would Cyclops and the Bolter count as new idea?

Mantle Kick removal because (1) It's extremely laggy and glitchy (2) Connection wins it over skill (3) I miss the old cover fights.

[123MAN]

Mantle kick shouldn't be removed because it was a good concept, but just like the evade hitbox, they messed up big time.
Disagree on tac-com bubbles, the coloured weapons on tac-com would be better. I love the current tac-com, you can see what is happening on the other side of the map.

[bchaps]

Ya...pretty much anything not in GoW3

I don't like the current Mantle Kick...but I do like the concept.
I also like the colored weapons thing a lot

I didn't disagree with anything in particular that was important.
I don't think anyone likes the current mantle kick, unless they never lag or pump fake. In that case: "You lucky..."
It needs fixing, great idea, bad implementation.
Coloured weapons are a better idea then bubbles in my opinion. I really liked that idea, not enough feedback on his thread though.

[Predalian5]

Prepared to get lawyered.

Farmer dom in Gears 3, BOOM!!

[123MAN]

I don't think they should add characters from the first trilogy. I think that only canon characters should be present. Better than having Dom and Marcus running around on GoWJ.
I am pretty sure there will be plenty of characters and hopefully Prescott will be one of them.

[Trugamer97]

Elite Kantus?

[bchaps]

Dang...you got me.
But he wasn't playble.

So, you think there should only be GoWJ characters?
--you don't think MP should have Carmine, Marcus, Dom, Jace, Griffin, Sam, ect.

Elite Kantus?

What would this be?

[RoboSeal1]

STOP THIEF ribbon unlocked

[RoboSeal1]

Lol jk I was gonna make a continuation of my wishlisy thread but u beat me to it

[RoboSeal1]

Use my taccom idea in OP chaps, many like it if we can't have bubbles

[bchaps]

Actually, I was going to.
I was waiting for you to post, so that I could go to your recent posts...and get the link.
--but you took longer to post than I was hoping

Adding in a sec

[bchaps]

You know...I was just thinking.

There is nothing they can do with Hit-Boxes to please people.
There are 2 option, they both solve an issue, and they both cause a problem.

Option 1:
Pro: Have the exact same hitbox for everyone
Con: Details of characters (like theron shoulders) wont register hits even if it is a clear hit

Option 2:
Pro: Have similar hitboxes for everyone, but allow details (like theron shoulders) to register hits
Con: Hitboxes aren't exactly the same

It is a lose-lose for them...

[LilLostElite]

Can you add to the OP to bring back the Old Gold for the lancer and hammerburst from Gears 2

[RoboSeal1]

Give everyone anya (cog) and savage kantus (locust) hitboxes so its equal, would look weird on huge theron but equal

[bchaps]

Can you add to the OP to bring back the Old Gold for the lancer and hammerburst from Gears 2

Yes

Give everyone anya (cog) and savage kantus (locust) hitboxes so its equal, would look weird on huge theron but equal

If you have equal hit boxes for everyone, then like I said, people would complain about the fact that hitboxes don't match the character.
--It would make people mad if they shot the theron but weren't given a hit
