New ranked/quick match idea

[INSANE RUMBLER]

Maybe the settings such as constant cross-hairs and 6 shoots in boom and these knew additions could be used only in quick matches. And then for ranked matches the gameplay setting go back to gears 3 i.e no constant cross-hair 2/3 shoots in boom and ? This would then probably mean that the veteran gears who have played since gow1 would play ranked and the newer players or casual players would play quick match. This would probably mean that ranked would be more populated than it is in gow3 and judgemnt would also appeal to casual players. ??

the 6 shots in boom is not confirmed I believe. It merely could be a second pickup or 2nd boomshot on the map.

Don't steal my idea or anything ¬.¬

1. The constant cross hairs to be Ranked only I agree with. Obviously because it was my idea.
2. 6 shot Boom, that's not going to happen.
3. Yes, that was the reason for my initial idea.

What really needs to happen is have a Hardcore playlist, just like oldschool in Gears 3. No Retro/SOS, stopping power, hip fire reticle, ect...

There is no stopping power in Judgment. Just look at the FFA vid on Gondola when the COG Gear Retro charges. Nothing's stopping him...

Ranked should be the 'hardcore playlist'.

I'd rather see hip fire reticule put into one playlist and ommited from the rest, rather than the other way around.

TDM. It's a casual feature so put it in a casual playlist. Or put it into Quick Match which is a lot more casual than Ranked. Why have a casual feature in a competitive environment (Ranked games, Execution, Warzone etc.)

[INSANE RUMBLER]

Or they could just take the hip fire reticule out of it..

Unlikely, the best we can hope for is to limit it somehow and minimize the damage

They're not going to remove it completely. They want it to attract newer players. So put it in QM, not Ranked. Everyone's happy. Ish.

If the community is to grow new players need to enjoy playing and this is not that big of a deal. Most shooters have the reticule on the screen for hip shots, Gears is just catching up. Hardcore/Ranked playlist will separate the new players from the Hardcore.

Blindfiring/hipfiring was a part of Gears. I remember saying to my friend who was a CoD player how much better our blindfires were than their 'no-scopes'.

1. if it was put in a casual playlist new players could learn to play and enjoy their whole time with the game.
2. Most shooters do have the reticule but they expand massively when you don't aim, at the moment it looks like counter strike where it's perfectly accurate from the hip, and that's because that game has no aiming. Every other game with a distinct aiming and hip fire mode has the reticule expand for hip fire.

The best way is my idea. Have that reticle removed once you hit rank ##. Same thing should have been done to the SO in Gears 3. Problem solved. Noobies get a feel for the gun and how to aim and experienced players will lose it in a few days as they rank up quickly.

It would be silly to have it in quick and not ranked. Not everyone wants to sit in a lobby, but instead enjoy playing the game. So for the guys who want to play they are penalized with having to deal with the reticle. That sucks.

People will purposely reset themselves. I think the QM idea is better. QM is casual, deal with it.

I haven't heard of any way to purposely be reset. I've seen very few people post about how proud they are to be reset. LOL. Plus how do you know it will happen in the new game? You think most people are that sad that they will reset themselves so they can have a reticle for 30 or 40 ranks or whatever? Again...LOL

That is my point, look at the size of the COD community. If the Gears community is to grow it needs to appeal to more people. Hardcore/Ranked playlists can be set up for the people that can not adapt to change.

If you're idea was to happen, some people would purposefully corrupt their profile to get their white level 1 and hip-fire reticule back.

No, it's supposedly across the full game. I would like and suggested it to be ranked only.

I don't mean to sound like a d*ck but this was actually my idea.

I'm sure no epic guys thought about it at all.

[INSANE RUMBLER]

If it was your idea then im sorry i didnt see it-- but great minds think alike

[LEGI0N47]

I like the idea but honestly i think it would ultimately cause less people to play ranked, espeacially potentially newer players. We're already complaining about the lack of a ranked population. So in the end ranked and QM or social or whatever they call it should be the same for continuity. I also say this because i have several friends who don't play GOW MP at all because they got wrecked so hard that they don't want to play it, i was the only one who stayed. Also if i was a newer player it would possibly steer me away from ranked if the faded reticle was what i knew. The idea of having an "old school" playlist is better for this issue.
