Gears of War Game Map Set

Out of curiosity, of all the Gears what is your favourite map set? (Including DLC)

Nostalgia makes me lean towards Gears of War 1 but I’d have to say Gears of War 2. It has far more maps that I miss such as Ruins, Day One, Flood and even Fuel Station. The maps were also mostly darker which I enjoyed (not including the remake of Mansion…that’s a different story entirely). While there is many good maps such as Azura, Checkout and Drydock, it just had the best maps overall. Also who doesn’t love River?

I’ve listed all the maps below with links as a reminder.

Bullet Marsh, Canals, Clocktower, Escalation, Fuel Depot, Garden, Gridlock, Mansion, Mausoleum, Old Bones, Process, Raven Down, Rooftops, Subway, Tyro Station, War Machine.

I love almost all the maps, But here it’s top 3 maps for every gears game. (Won’t use the same maps for every game and will use the maps in it’s first release)

Gears 1 : War Machine، Raven Down and Clocktower (Garden and Canals is very good though,)

Gears 2 : Day One, Jacinto and Fuel Depot.

Gears 3 : Thrashball, Checkout and Mercy (Old town, Mercy and Rustlung are good too!)

Gears 4 : Foundation, Relic and Harbor (But all of the new maps in Gears 4 are really good and Actually I am Surprised by TC :stuck_out_tongue: Except Forge…)

Good choice. Day One would be great in the modern Gears gameplay.

Bold, but true.

Gears of War 2 have a good base map set and the best DLC maps.

For gears 4, i dont think Diner counts since its basically a flat, reworked version of Hotel imo.

@ GB6 GOOD work.
Strangely you do not include J. I’m as old school, day 1 passionate as any Gearshead but I acknowledge Judgements existence :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::grin:. So can you link maps please.
It has some great maps that could be reworked if needed.
Boneyard
Haven
Lost City
Library
Blood Drive

My fav maps across the series…will have a think. I do love Dynamic maps like Artillery, Avalanche, Hail, Raven Down (G3 version) I liked Reclaimed Windflare once, after that it is a pain in the backside on KOTH.

I miss subway, would love if they brought that back. Granted they probably still haven’t fixed the glitch off the map lol

I remember that :joy:

Great picks, I actually enjoyed “Nowhere” as well. Depths was beautiful and Mausoleum was good for its “eerie” atmosphere.

Yeah, Depths redone for G5 would be amazing!!

Trenches had that Desert Feel to it from Gears 3 as well.

#18

Exactly, many great matches on Trenches!

I miss that Digger :tired_face: many times I’d shoot it into the roof, killing the person above at the Mulcher/OneShot. Somehow never failed :joy:
