Anyone excited for Operation 4?

Gears 5
#82

what I want from operation 4:

-Terminators fix
-More Maps
-Lancer nerf
-Ranking system improvements
-Wingman
-Bug Fixes

What will we get with Operation 4:

-Bug Fixes
-Some kind of stupid change that further lowers the skillgap
-If they add another mode it’ll either be a poor man’s Beast Mode or Overrun
-Lancer will be buffed (because players were complaining they couldn’t fight a shotgun at close range they decide to increase recoil or bloom but increase damage even further, that sorta stupid reasoning)
-maybe 1 new map at best but I expect about 2 remakes. Pray they won’t bring back Mercy or Drydock.
-They’ll announce some kind of stupid DLC that nobody asked for or something related to Gears Tactics.

What’s bad about mercy and drydock?I personally want to have those two maps back.But I prefer Day One and Tyro Station first.

#84

Yes, I can’t wait. Loving this game, can’t put it down. Excited for pve changes even though I’m happy how it currently plays. I’d like some better bosses but accept that won’t happen.

MS sent me a free £5 in my live messages so will save that for op4.

It depends on what modes you play and how you play them.

For Horde in particular, both Drydock and Mercy are great, for MP not so much.

Understand I am a competitive player, I look at maps the way a pro would, how complex is the map (does it offer interesting situations/opportunities? does it have good or unique pickup weapons? Etc.) and does the map have good movement (there aren’t too many places for players to camp at and lancer you for the entire match type thing)

Drydock just becomes 2 opposing teams on both sides up top, its extremely stagnant and boring to play, Mercy is even worse as all you gotta do is camp up top (where the mulcher is) and you win, both of these maps are just awful to play competitively or in other words with 2 really good teams against one another.

I personally think Gears games should prioritize good MP maps over anything else, simply because horde is already very easy and even if you play on an odd map for it its still fun because of the challenge.

I want to be excited, I really do, but after what they did to Clay and his terrible set up in PvE, I don’t have much faith in Anthony’s, Ben’s, and Gary’s abilities. IF they even add any. The class system rework sounds great but my guess is they won’t add it til the end of Op 4. Hopefully, we get some more classes with Lancers and less with enforcers. And hopefully the lancer doesn’t change too much. If you’re still crying about it, that’s because you’re an idiot who can’t take cover.

I feel the gears 4 lancer more OP tan the new one, people really need to learn how to play with brain and no just jump into the fight with the gnasher

Nothing wrong with Clayton in pve. Almost essential for me in master.

My most wanted for op4 would be custom frenzy lobby.

Dude, Clayton is the weakest character in terms of damage output, which is very ironic since he’s supposed to be the Grub Killer. All he is now is just a support character that plays sidekick to JD for two hours. There’s nothing fun about that.

#90

PvE definitely needs some changes for other character though,in terms of how each character helps on a higher difficulties (Elite and above) since some characters have no benefit on higher difficulties.So balancing the characters is pretty much one of the top things I want in OP4

I’ve played master on canals and Clayton with salvos was invaluable. No he wasn’t getting as much as JD but without those stuns firing under and through the bridge JD wouldn’t have got half the kills.

Yeah I agree damage output on lots of others needs to go up and JDs come down but I still enjoy Clayton as he plays and he’s far from useless.

Who doesn’t play sidekick to JD for two hours?

Can I ask, what did Clayton do that made him the “grubkiller”? He may have it as a nickname and a monicker, but he didn’t actually do anything that warranted it in the games… If anything, he survived death multiple times so in that sense his skill cards make sense.

#93

His character description in 5, for one…
“The Grub Killer earned his moniker in blood, mercilessly crushing any Locust that ever had the bad fortune to cross his path. His personal mission is to avenge those in his family who have fallen in battle, one skull-shattering stomp at a time.”

… and that he kinda seems made and very determined to kill any and all Locust he can find. He also gets slightly… ‘excited’ at getting to kill them.

#94

I don’t recall anything from the games or books to warrant that nickname, but the official art for Gears 3 shows that he was a good fighter, on the same level as Cole when it came to destroying the enemy wholesale. Maybe there was also something in the comics?

This is one of my favorite pictures for Gears of War. Gets me hyped to play Horde every time I see it.

#96

I wonder if TC could add SHADOWFAX into Gears of war 6:

Marcus would look awesome riding a horse… Gears of War its a game as epic as ShadowFax.

#97

Awesome picture I’ve not seen this one,:sunglasses:

#98

When’s OP4 supposed to be released? I’d like to see a GOW2 map… Maybe River or Ruins.

#99

maybe kat should get discounts and stronger decoy cards…since she makes holograms could stack into a skillset like that…?

#100

So he’s pretty much a full on sadist when he hears the word “locust”or”Grubs”. That’s all there is to it.

#101

Or “bacon”! :grin:
