Was wondering if TC have thought about giving the game mode overrun a return!? Tbh was the only thing that I enjoyed from Judgement and would love for it to be in gears 5 if they are able to do so.

Gears 5 is basically a finished product at this point.
I seriously doubt any new mode or really anything other than tweaks at this point.
Wait until Gears 6
Definitely won’t come to Gears 5 since that would require it’s own maps and a different class system
Im my view it was Judgment’s only redeeming quality but it would take a ton of development to be added to G5 and is just not realistic.
I think overrun might be better as its own game. When judgment launched many complained that there were only 4 maps (pvp). There were more because there was 3 overrun maps but the community seemed to be split in either overrun or standard pvp and saw the whole game in one lens or the other. The same happened in G5 when pvp focus players felt the game launched with no content but failed to appreciate there was a whole new pve mode added. Not saying launch didn’t lack content but if you didn’t play escape its as if it never existed when making judgments on total content of the game.
Having an overrun focused game would feel like a full product for players devoted to that style. Than we could keep “standard” gears as a seperate game for people that liked that style instead of combining them into the same game where people in either camp feel the game lacks content because the development is split between the somewhat disparate styles. That’s not to say people don’t like both but there’s enough of a divide I feel to justify separate games. CoD comes out with a game every year (with 2 somewhat different styles- standard and black ops) so I don’t see why Gears couldn’t although admittedly the player base is much smaller than CoD.
Hell no, we saw how horrible 5 was with that judgement inspired garbage, keep that stupid junk out of GOW, people hated that crap which is why people bashed horde at launch.
Judgement was a mistake and while that mode was ok in a crappy game I do NOT want to see GOW 6 to have the stupid problems 5 did or worse.
I love how new modes(not counting new vs playlists and returning ones) were advertised at the beginning of this “fun fest” of a game and I’ve yet to see a new game mode.
What content in 5 is inspired by judgement?
The horde mode at launch, characters locked to classes, no duplicate characters/classes, the way each class could only select specific weapons from the fabricator, how only a few classes could build things.
Horde mode at launch was hated, when they announced it a lot of people were furious at the restrictions and stupid â– â– â– â– â– â– â– â– .
Horde at launch was inspired by the overrun/survival mode from judgement and that is NOT what horde is or should be. Nothing prevented them from adding in Overrun/survival as a separate mode but instead they ruined horde mode until Operation 5 took that trash out after all the complaints and player base dwindling.
The fact it took a full year to course correct means a lot of people dropped the game and only now are people coming back to GOW 5.
Some good points there that most people didn’t seem to like the restrictions. I didn’t mind personally. I liked how it gave each character uniqueness but more people seem to like the freer way it is now.
I suppose it may have drawn inspiration in that each character is unique however confined though duplicates are allowed in overrun.
I’d still like to see overrun or something like it as a pvp and not as a pve mode personally.
