Community Votes on Returning Maps

Goodacre · March 27, 2020, 9:52pm

So, it’s odd that this forum doesn’t have polls but we can look off-site for that with StrawPoll.(hopefully people can’t spam votes)

Let’s preface this by stating that this in no way should be forwarded to TC and any real indication what maps they should bring back. Just a getting a feeling of where the community lies when it comes to this topic. Please keep “I want new maps” to a minimum, we all want new maps.

For the Polls I split it into two. One for Gears 4 and one for Gears 1-3. The reason was due to the apparent ease at which Gears 4 maps can be ported into Gears 5 due to both running UE4. I have also trimmed the list for redundancy. Maps that are already in Gears 5, “Dark” versions, and legacy remakes already in Gears 4.

Gears 4 Maps

Gears 1-3 Maps

Omitted some maps in this list due to 30max choices, sorry if you liked any of those

Just went through the selection and was bummed to see Overpass didn’t make the list.

Disappointed!

VettleGT · March 27, 2020, 11:29pm

Process is missing… Oh well, good idea though

Good thing Gridlock didn’t make it! We would have been so mad @Buster_McTunder

Damn you Ghost we must admit GRIDLOCK is the WORST map of all time.

GhostofDelta2 · March 27, 2020, 11:33pm

I still love the map but agree it needs to be retired.

G4 shouldnt exist here. We’ve got FAR too many as it is.

Voted river.

There is zero reason other than man/woman power that we can’t have all maps in Gears 6.

…coughs Halo TMCC, and that has maps from 3gen of xbox.

I will check pole, I assume you have added J maps, had some great ones.

Duffman_GB · March 28, 2020, 7:03am

Artillery…
Hail…

They were my first two choices from 1-3alas both not on the list

Buster_McTunder · March 28, 2020, 7:12am

TC sadly said back in 2015 that we won’t ever see a Marcus Fenix collection, and UE was their only dive–but I wonder f that’s changed now.

Duffman_GB · March 28, 2020, 7:44am

Hi mate
I doubt it has changed, maybe give it to an outside team/PCF as a project.

Imagine it. I love what HTMCC has become, the love and care that has gone into it. The varied playlists for everything including dedicated campaign ones is amazing. The in game rewards, the constant support etc.

I don’t play much Halo online (really enjoy campaigns, not so much 5!) as I always felt that you were either a Halo or Gears guy/girl. and although I played Halo first, Gears beguiled me from the off and that was it.

I just dream of a place where we can play all the maps and modes in one place. I would need to never buy or play another game.

III_EnVii_III · March 28, 2020, 10:03am

Process is one of my all time favourite maps.

Nineteenth_Hour · March 28, 2020, 10:06am

T-800 loves it too

III_EnVii_III · March 28, 2020, 10:07am

One of my favourite skins!!!

Until Myrrah comes along,

Really only play with that one.

Buster_McTunder · March 28, 2020, 6:00pm

This is my idea for a MP-focused spinoff.

I think one of the recent COD games did this, where they brought back nearly every single old map. Might’ve been BO4.

III_EnVii_III · March 28, 2020, 6:08pm

Yeah,

Maybe after Gears 6,

Take a break and just have a similar Gears game.

Focused entirely on MP/Horde/Escape.

I’m sure after 9 mainline games (1-6, UE, J, Tactics)

We can just get one that works online.

You can then use that to build upon Gears 7.

Hollow_Magix · March 28, 2020, 7:30pm

Blood Drive is worse IMHO
