EPIC had like 17+ years of level design experience, that’s more than a long shot.
Someone in the Map Builder thread mentioned that from the picture it looks like it could be like DOOM SnapMap.
Especially with how the rifles are more powerful in Gears 4 and presumably 5
Keeping my list relatively short:
Old Bones - Underrated in my opinion. Loved the battles at Grenade & Boomshot spawns.
Stasis - Seeing Sires in Escape, why not include their “home.” This map got a lot of hate previously.
River - Obvious choice for nostalgia reasons.
Underhill - Mainly a Horde map request from me, regular MP wasn’t bad either.
Nowhere - Loved this map both in MP & Horde.

wow I thought the old bones map was forgotten at this point but I wouldn’t mind seeing it again in the future.

Old Bones was my second favorite behind Subway from the GoW1 DLC. You really couldn’t go wrong with Garden, Process, Raven Down or Bullet Marsh either - yes, I liked Bullet Marsh, ha.

Probably one of the worst map to do KOTH on. So long and so far. Just get rifled down.
A few minutes of the Map Builder in action. It seems you can place Tiles, Portals, Enemies (Spawns), and Pickups:
Ooh, someone posted a longer IGN vid in the main Map Builder thread:

But you gotta admit the map design wise looked very pretty and the water made me thirsty while also making wish I could actually visit that place just to explore (minus the monsters).

They could bring back just about any map back from Gears 1, 2, or 3 and i would be happy. I just hope they dont do what they did in Gears 4 with ‘hey we have a new map because we made it night time.’ Granted those “new maps” were a bit better than the originals like impact dark and others.
Hah, the “remixes”. They were smart this time not to promise anything, as they promised 24 additional maps with Gears 4.
It was the worst. I guess I set my hopes and expectations too high. I really wanted one new unique map with two remakes/remastered ones.
In a way we got trolled with the “remakes” of certain maps if you know what I’m referring to.

LOL. I hope that ontop of Map Builder eventually being usable for Versus/Horde, that they add more functionality to it down the line.
I would love to know how many maps will ship and how many we will end up with.
I would like 10-15 to start and maybe map (we know that they will be free) packs released every couple of months, ending with the biggest collection in any Gears game.
Gears 5 News twitter account wants to know what classic maps we want to return, go put in a vote!
Highway
Overpass
Blooddrive (judgement map)

Agreed and the other maps called “nowhere” alongside Pavilion and Jacinto.
