The Future Of GOW Multiplayer!!

[Bizkitdoh]

Better matchmaking (BOT MATCHES), incentive to play ranked (Changing name from ranked to standard, guarantee players), better balancing (Gnasher hard aims and actives, lancer headshot boost, stopping power, just, eww), please god NO custom characters, no no no no no no no NO, and this could go on forever.

Also kill the Retro and SO. Forever.

A Lambent team!!! Allowing for three way team matches. I like the idea a lot its unique and definitely a step forward, its going on the original post. Thanks.

i think itll make for very interesting gameplay im glad youve put it up

[MIST GHILLIE]

No, you'd see a bunch of this.

Smallest character model.
Darkest skin.
Least amount of armor on, or darkest armor attached, to better blend in to the shadows.
Dark eyes.
Dark hair/no hair with dark helmet

Spawn. Run to corner. Trusty Retro and Sawed-Off Super Camp Mode: Activated

Character customization on Gears is a horrible idea and should never happen.

If it does, I want my Saiyan Armor damn it.

No, what would happen is you would join a team, end up on locust and see 5 snipers in pink mankinis lol.

Alright Pino, didn't know you were active on the forums! (My older brother)

The 3v3v3 idea was what we were talking about before Gears 3 released, it's such an amazing idea. 3 Cog vs 3 Locust vs 3 Lambent. It won't ever be implemented, but it would be absolutely mindblowing.

[FactoryOfEmbers]

Stupid double post.

[TrueCore]

1. Fully customisable, unique COG & Locust characters!!

I hope they don't do this. There's really no need for it. I like the idea of using characters from the campaign. It shows a bit whom and what you like. Everybody hunting for a more powerful and cruel looking character? I hope not.

2. Theatre Mode!

I really would like to see that. Recording and editing games is a really nice feature a cinematic game like Gears of War Judgment really needs. Why not enabling to upload them to the cloud and let them you edit on your PC, Tablet or Smartphone via an App? Would be a great way to expand your Gears of War Judgment experience.

4. A Lambent team (or other), allowing for 3v3v3 way or 4v4v4 way matches.

The maps of Gears of War are simply too small. It won't work well and there's no real need for it, other things are much more important.

[olsaltee]

One im gonna disagree with the lambent team thing as this is a game pre-dating the knowledge of them. At this time frame we only know about the Locust so it should stick to the basis of the game TBH. No queen as we have not met her yet either. Essentially what is in the games campaign should at least if player selectability is there be selectable.

[ExecutionWTF]

I am dreaming of a Theatre mode in Gears! :'D

[OwN Reflex]

How about the make private matches fully customizable...... Be able to turn spawn pro off, adjust starting weapons adjust damage of the starting weapons(kinda like stay frosty with the hammerbursts) they should allow unreal editor so the community can keep its self alive and build new maps, also they should allow you to rent servers so we 100% know their dedicated! It's pathetic the unreal 2k4 was and is still so far ahead of the times just wish all of this stuff was available through console games :/ not just pc

[olsaltee]

Okay, I'm sure we all have our own wants for where the gears of war MP direction should go so I would like us to use this thread to comprise a list of key features we all hope for, a wish list perhaps!!
I shall start;

1. Fully customisable, unique COG & Locust characters!!

2. Theatre Mode!

3. Quick Match lobbies that merge together when spaces are short (this should only happen between games) + (I hate fighting bots) and has features similar to call of duty lobbies, ie. map choice between games, ability to change character and weapon skins between games and also ability to view challenges (stats and awards/war journal). This would not replace ranked lobbies.

4. A Lambent team (or other), allowing for 3v3v3 way or 4v4v4 way matches.

I will edit with any more unique and interesting ideas from the community!

1. No, dont think its needed. Really people should not try to bring Halo game stuff to Gears as Gears all pretty much where the same gear with few exceptions here and there. Same as locust. Personalizing detracts from the characters they developed.

2. Could be ok, will allow people to review there own play style and adjust and learn from mistakes.

3. I would not agree with this either, if i joined a guardian match i would like to play it not end up playing KOTH. Not saying there couldnt be some work on playlist ideas and such to make playing with more people instead of bots better but just not wanting to be forced into something i dont want to play.

4. I addressed this already with my own opinion.

ummm maps arent too small? 3 v 3 v 3 has i less player on the field? wingman the maps arent too small

[Bazinga-A7X]

OP


1) NO

2) Maybe

3) What???? NO

4) NO, and DLC for GOW3 is done.

it would be irrelevant, itll be in MP. if that was the case we wouldnt have a. carmine etc in gears 3

[TAO Devil]

MP is not Canon, but with the hitboxes of the Queen I hope she stays out.

Also, lambent is not easily doable and serves no real purpose.

[FactoryOfEmbers]

Would it really be so hard to make lambent drones and stuff as a MP character? I genuinely don't know so.

It won't get changed to 3v3v3 at all, but since that's 1 player less than what we have now, i don't see maps being a problem, it would also mix things up a bit.

[Clone Recon]

no customization. i would like a theatre mode, but thats about it.

They have different hitboxes and also are really out of place TBH.

[BFW Wolf]

change the hitboxes and or instead have stranded a separate team

[TAO Devil]

change the hitboxes and or instead have stranded a separate team

changing the hitboxes changes the whole character. What does stranded have to do with it?

[FactoryOfEmbers]

I don't think they'd be out of place at all since the whole of Gears 3 is based around them. I'm not talking about implementing this in Judgment btw, just as a future addition to the game.

And Cog vs Locust vs Stranded.

yeah thats what i ment, just so we can have 3 teams of 3 and be against 6 opponents, tactics would have to change, like maybe ganging up on the stronger team to win or like in TDM holding back a bit instead of running in head 1st, or even guardian, the leader with two henchmen. griffin with two stranded, delta team, or prescott and two onyx guards etc etc

[FactoryOfEmbers]

The Queen with 2 palace guards, Griffin with 2 stranded, and Prescott with 2 Onyx Guards in a 3v3v3 match would be brilliant aha.

That's the point though. They would be completely out of place in a game that took place 16 years before lambent were even known.

That idea was suggested many times but Epic stated it would be impractical. Don't ask me why, that's just what their answer was.

[CGOWAddict]

I see the ideas in the OP, my question is will memory issues be a problem when it comes to implementing any of this?? That's a issue when it just comes to quick match characters and one liners in game when online in verses. I can see this possible working on the following Gears game when the new XBox (what ever they call it) comes out, but not in judgement. I may be wrong tho.

[Dnosaur6429]

choose the one liners. obvisously you can't chose all the lines in the game but have a few options to keep the MP fresh. just a suggestion.

[MIST GHILLIE]

changing the hitboxes changes the whole character.

No it dosent, hitbox and characther size/appererace can be altered independantly.

[TAO Devil]

No it dosent, hitbox and characther size/appererace can be altered independantly.

they would have to be scaled down on the character image, otherwise people will complain that when they shoot part of the arm bullets pass right through. It was a problem in gears 2 with the kantus hat.

[NeillMcAttack]

Yeah, I don't feel certain characters should have a combat advantage just for the sake of the character model.

[INSANE RUMBLER]

showing the final kill of the round

[DaRkNeSs]

1. No
2. Not possible on UE3
3. Is that even possible? But if so, yeah...
4. That would of been good for G3 Wingman, but seen as GoWJ is set before GoW1 the Lambent won't be appearing. I think that there weren't even any Stranded back then

[NeillMcAttack]

showing the final kill of the round

I'm gonna stick this in the op alongside theatre mode. Can't believe I didn't think of it myself.

Would you like the Longshot to also flip upwards when you change weapons? Don't make this game feel like CoD too much, yeah take some things and put a Gears twist on them (like the current 'killcams' we have now) but not just directly copying...

[INSANE RUMBLER]

make the sniper like gow1 where it was easier to get blindfires !!

[TAO Devil]

make the sniper like gow1 where it was easier to get blindfires !!

that was due to the positioning of the camera. That won't be coming back.

I'm certainly not looking for another cod, but just like every big retail release since gears 2 had a "horde" mode (firefight, spec ops etc.) I think it not a bad thing for ideas on what the community enjoys spill over to different titles!!

[Maaaaaz]

No.
Yes.
No.

[INSANE RUMBLER]

if there are quick matches then the ability to change characters after every game

[upsmadman]

Merging lobbies I likey. Totally hate bots. U have to leave the room join another only to find its full of bots to. It sux. A map vote between qm games what a novel idea no more of these not random map cycles. Like I said having to leave every other match cause of bots I find myself playing the 3 same maps all night. Put the map vote in already let the ppl decide lol.
