Biggest Concerns for GoW:J?

[Coleyman]

yep, for one whole week and then its all multiplayer

Seriously, have you actually seen the campaign population counts? Go and check, right now. Standard Campaign, Arcade Campaign, Standard RAAM's Shadow, Arcade RAAM's Shadow. Minimum of 1000 in each one, I'm gonna guess.

[III LYCAN III]

That it won't challenge me; that it will be too easy, like Gears of War 3 was.

That the problems that plagued Gears of War 3 will persist in Judgement.

This and just this for me

[upsmadman]

They got something right the first time. Every game since has been based of the first. Now its a billion dollar franchise. Im not saying there hasnt been any improvments. Wall cancel, hammy 2, servers,rifles that will actually kill someone lol. But for every right I just feel theres been 2 wrongs. Mantle kick, fragplants, retro (without fall off dmg) multiple playlists that track stats, stun radius on ink, kill radius on incendis and so forth.

Arcade: 25,463

Team Deathmatch: 10538
Warzone: 629
Execution: 1375
Capture the Leader: 813
KOTH: 3763
Wingman: 671
TDM No DLC: 638
Player's Choice: 118

(Numbers at the current moment)

Multiplayer numbers nowhere near Arcade.

I fear that all focus on Gears of War 3 will disappear. Meaning, no more Gears 3 DLC, events etc.

And less people online in Gears 3

It's already been confirmed by Epic that there will be no more GOW 3 DLC. Forces of Nature was the last one. Best you can hope for is a TU.

Honestly, I'm worried they wont change (fix?) how the hit boxes update. It seems like they pre-lagged the game. Better hit boxes would solve a lot of problems with the Sawed-Off, Mantle Kick, Gnasher, Boomshot, Longshot, Incendiaries, Inks, hell even the Boltok. Next they can fix weapon balancing and tweak (possibly remove,) stopping power and Active boosts.

Lastly, I can see the new controls causing problems, especially with switching weapons while running/rolling/wallbouncing.

[LEGI0N47]

I have two main concerns, though many have brought up pretty good ones. My first is after almost 7 years i'd love for the connection issues to be sorted out in general as well as the hitboxes. There is too much inconsistancy on-line, mainly sponging and laggy players that leave you saying WTF? I know i'm better than that!

My second issue is I've heard it mentioned in some of the Overrun videos that there will be some sort of leveling or progression system for your characters as far as their abilities and what's available to them. This scares me becuase i do not like games with this type of system which basically reward those who play more with better gear/weapons than the other guy to the point where it is no longer a level playing field. It's also scarry that this could carry over to all modes.

I like it where everyone is the same and it's based on who played better that game, not who has better gear/ more choices that game. I hope that i'm wrong about this so if i am some one please let me know.

[Meuj]

I'm worried they still have the 'Gears 1 MP was horrible' mentality.

[upsmadman]

Amen amen. Can I get halalujah over here.

[123MAN]

I just hope they build on the successes of Gears 3 MP and attract are larger number of players. I hate versing the same bunch of people over and over again.

[II TH4 K1NG II]

Im worried about
Retro/Sawed Off
Stun Inks
Hitboxes
Class based multiplayer (keep that in overrun only)
Control Scheme

please epic, hear our pleas! Gears isnt as good as it could be right now and your already developing another game and gears 3 hasnt even been out for a year yet! Please fix the problems before making another game and PLEASE dont cater to another video game fanbase just because they will play the game for a month. O cant tell you how many people got gears of war 3 and left within the first month because they werent interested. Cater to those who have been around since the beggining...

[Yush]

It's already been confirmed by Epic that there will be no more GOW 3 DLC. Forces of Nature was the last one. Best you can hope for is a TU.

Another bad decision.....not enough money in DLC. A new $60 game, now your talking $$$$$$$$$$

[Locust_Forever]

I'm afraid they'll mainly focus on the multiplayer (especially Overrun) instead of the Campaign, which could cause the Campaign to be short as in "that other popular first person shooter".

Agreed. I play campaign before i ever hop online. If its short im taking it back. I've been there since gow1. So i am a fan, but still.

[Tp.JUMP]

Amen amen. Can I get halalujah over here.

Hallelujah!

[SQuirrel147]

My concern is every weapon will continue to be over-powered.

[CHEEZMO619]

Waiting to hear what the epic edition will be :what:

Eh, mainly the mantle kick as you said.

I always hated it when I faked sliding on to cover, and I still got mantle kicked. ( Like I'll cancel the slide from a good distance, but I still get kicked. >.>)

I always try to fake people out by bouncing into the cover, yet I still get mantle kicked from like 3 feet away.

Every time I try to mantle kick someone, it fails and I glitch back to the cover or I just don't stun them.

[AndyXTheXGamer]

I'm worried about the controls, nothing i hate more than huge button changes.

[JMysterial]

I'm concerned about the campaign; it better be good. I loved all three campaigns (Gow 2 my personal favorite), and Judgment must have an equally good and long campaign, otherwise I'll be very disappointed.

wow that is hard to believe, had no idea so many people played arcade... figured it was dead.

[ParasiteNL]

My biggest concern is the Retro Lancer and SO. If people like these weapons they can always go back to Gears 3 but as far as Judgment goes, Epic has a fresh start and I hope they realise it.

God, I hate these weapons... Epic should try to introduce new weapons but they clearly made a mistake with these two.

[Coalition's End]

My concern is that they are going to change the game so much as to the point of where isn't even gears anymore.

Maybe not to that extent, but I kind of want an updated Gears 2.

Same here or at least make the rifles challenging to use like like in Gears 2.

Epic Games doesn't realise there's also a big market for hardcore gamers so they'll just cater to the noobs who can hardly hold on to their controller. I guess they've never heard of Dark Souls or Ninja Gaiden. Extreme examples but developers nowadays just want to go for the big bags of gold, ofcourse games cost a lot a money these days but they underestemate the amount of people who like hard and challenging games.

The Ninja Gaiden franchise even died after the developers catered to the noobs.

[Demonz II]

Im concerned that they will split the communtiy with dlc again.

[LostSoulno301281]

They really didn't though. It was fun, but that was it.

Isn't that the point?
It's meant to be fun, otherwise why bother playing?

My other concern is continuity.
If Judgement is meant to be set in the early years, why are we seeing Locust that didn't appear until after Gears 1?
Tickers, Kantus, Maulers etc.
Story-wise I'd love to see a stripped down, Gears 1 style game in terms of enemies.
Only Drones, Snipers, Grenadiers, Therons, Boomers, Wretches, Reavers, Seeders and Brumaks.
With the ground forces coming in large numbers and the larger creatures used as bosses.

[ClearlyBalkan]

Casualized Multiplayer. I understand WHY they did it. i just personally don't like it.

Yep I agree completely. They wanted to make GOW3 newcomer friendly by introducing no skill S/O & Retro lancer, but that alienated old school community.

Funny thing, right now in Europe you can't find ranked KOTH. Yea, you all heard correctly, you can't find 10 players playing ranked KOTH.

[ClearlyBalkan]

My concern is every weapon will continue to be over-powered.

There are only two overpowered weapons. Enough said.

[xl IP0IP SH07 lx]

Sawed off, retro, and unbalanced maps.

1) It was fun but probably the most frustrating game. If we could get the Gears 1 MP with the Gears 2 and 3 mechanics and functions, I would be thrilled. I don't want to lose the new weapons though. (Except Retro/SO unless drastically fixed)

2) Those locust were around before Gears 1. Marcus hadn't seen them before, and they were just a way to introduce you to the newer guys you hadn't seen. For Instance, Baird knew about Therons before Gears 1. Tai knew about Tickers. Etc.

well if thats true tdm has more than that combined

Same here; just give me versus modes and I am happy. Not a fan of objectives type modes. Attack/Defend = cool/Yawn

[SQuirrel147]

Every weapon, including the Gnasher, is over-powered. Look at all the Gears 2 weapons in Gears 3, they all got buffed. It's annoying to say the least.

[Mr shWo]

yup the hammerburst and retro, if you think the sawed is op...

[TAO Devil]

yup the hammerburst and retro, if you think the sawed is op...

Gnasher. Lancer. Boomshot. Incendiary. Ink. Frag. Scorcher.

All have been increased to compensate for other increased weapons. They all need tweaks/reducing.

[Unyinz]

yup the hammerburst and retro, if you think the sawed is op...

I'm surprised you would choose the Hammerburst over the Gnasher.

[Dead Cell Raam]

spawning. 5 seconds protection isn't ENOUGH

I feel it's too much sometimes. In the OP, I love the mantle kick. I rarely use it, unless I find an awkward, newer or a weak up close player to use it on. It puts a nice point across. and makes my ego grow.

Inflated ego = inflated mayhem.

I just hope some of the featured options in the focused mode at the moment, don"t make it into regular VS. Because it would the same mode without generators.
