Arcade Horde Mode. A Suggestion to The Coalition

We have arcade versus, wherein there are additional functionalities for the mode- we have map building escape wherein there is a great capacity of customization of the experience.

Will you consider adding an Arcade Horde?

Some extra functions for the mode could be things such as:
Extra modifiers, akin to the gears 3 modifier board
Health level controls by percentages (ex: enemy health: 10%/50%/300%, etc)
Damage level controls (One shot one kill enemies, players, 10%/50%/300% etc)
Selection of enemy sets in play and which spawn each interval ( deebee/juvie imago/ leech drones) Switch interval(enemy set changes every 1 wave, 3 waves, 5 waves.)
Legacy enemies (locust, lambent, etc.)
Enemy run speed/ player run speed
Respawn limit
Ammo modifiers (infinite clip, infinite ammo, 50% 200% etc)
Enemy density control either by percentage or enemy count
Legacy Bosses
Boss controls (Which spawn, count, interval - every 1 wave - 3 wave - 5 wave)
ETC
ETC
ETC

You get the idea. A more customizable horde experience mode where exp could be limited or altogether removed.

This would offer so much mindless fun, and attract so many people back to the game. This could really help you guys get the community back on the game.

I know in gears 3, we had a fierce love for the custom fun crap you had there like big heads, meteor roadie run.

If we had a fun, make it ourself, screw around horde mode to go cool off in after Horde wipes, bad versus experiences, too much or unsuccessful escape farming - it would probably go a long way to keep some of us on the game more often as well.

Come on TC GIVE US THE GOOD STUFF, GIVE US ARCADE HORDE!

Special addition- An option to bypass the hero system could be added to this mode!!!
It could be very simple- pick your character- pick the character card set you prefer. Allow multiple of the same set, and add a toggle for set locking for the host! Simple, easy way to offer players a way to play outside the hero system!!! <<<

The thing is that Horde 2.0 and the mutators were as near to perfect as possible and unfortunately TC have had two attempts at Horde and can not match either Horde or 2.0.

In fact apart from better enemy variety (still not a patch on 2.0) with the latest Horde somehow they have actually gone backwards!

I’m not sure they could do anything with this Horde to make it FUN. they have sucked the life out of it,

I think there best bet would be to scrap Heros, allow any character, remove the instafail as the first “mutator” and please TC for the love of Gears add the bloody Locusts back in. What is the issue with putting them back!!!

I’m praying with all I have that 5.0 is the true successor to the sublime 2.0. I only have around 3-4 years to be crestfallen all over again.

I agree with everything you said, which is why they need to hand the mode over to us. Let us handle it.

Give us a mixed bag of stuff to add in, and let us make our horde how we like.

I think it would help. Pretty sure this playerbase can recreate 2.0 experience better than TC anyways.

Agreed on scrapping heroes. Or fix dupe glitch. One or the other.

I totally disagree. Despite all the bugs and whatnot, I’ve had an absolute :whale: whale :whale2: of a time! A great part of that enjoyment comes from the Skill Cards; having interesting mixes of characters with different abilities. To strip away all of that uniqueness would be a massive step backwards.

Please start a Custom Game where you can select your preferred arrangement of modifiers.

Re playing a custom match, I shouldn’t have to. You really see no fault in the first additional skill being instafail ?

I’m happy you are having fun. Strange though that you are having a whale of a time in spite of “all the bugs and whatnot” Me personally it is the worst Horde of the lot. I say that as a “seasoned” Horde and Survival player.

No problem though as I still play 2.0 once or twice a week :+1:

Fair enough mate. We like what we like. Yes there are various bugs/imbalances etc but I’m not going to disregard the whole thing because of that.
