How can you remove Execution game type from Gears of War?

General Discussion
#25

Execution is what made gears 1…

Warzone was bad because once you’re down… you were out… you couldn’t stand up by tapping X… and you could be shot from far with a lancer.

Execution was very unique in that if a person was down, they had to be very close to shoot you, or beat you down. (Not kick you which locks you into the animation.) This allowed you to be picked up, and hide behind a wall.

Later Annex was released, which was fun… but Execution was the main came of Gears 1.

@Devil_D The problem is TC is trying to please everyone… trying to bring in a big market to the game… and look what is happening… the player base is dwindling more and more…

They need to look at Gears 1 code… and build off that. Bring in new improvements which are “next generation”, but don’t ruin the game play. In Gears 1… I never thought to myself “this gnasher sucks”… if I missed a shot, I missed a shot… Gears 5 current gnasher tuning is so weird, I don’t even know where to aim!

Execution required tons of skill, and power weapons were absolutely crucial to win the 3v1’s… etc.

Maybe f I cared for it I would bother ? Maybe if you could read I agreed to still bring it back ?
Just would not play it beyond what is needed for medals, just as Girdion.
No skin of my back.

Chess is interesting, watching Chess isn’t to me.
My point was that I see no reason why not have both ? Can’t be too resource intensive to add a mode back they already did have.
Not sure why this should be a one or the other thing.

They have all these dumb blood splatters and banners and weapon skins that are all stupid but they don’t have execution. And you ranked has 2 shotty only game types and tdm is a 2 person limit so you’re stuck with koth. I hate it. I hope they read this ■■■■.

I don’t have twitter but somebody should post this thread to TC’s twitter,

I already posted every where else i know,

The more ppl talking in this thread the more likely it is TC actually hears us for once.

Tell your friends to come say something if they want it back too.

It shouldn’t just be brought back in social either honestly, if they just throw it in a cycle of social games none of the talented players are gonna wanna just blow threw social gamer fodder. It’ll get boring quick.

They will have to put it in a competitive setting, and try and reward ppl for playing it Like they did gridiron. Which literally no one asked for.

In my opinion the competitive gears scene shifting from Execution to Escalation. Was the beginning of Gears losing its identity as a single life strategy based team shooter. Now we’re just seeing what I like to call “the call of duty effect”

Makes me feel old to say it but, a kid starting up gears today is not at all being offered the same experience in gears of war 1 I was offered as a kid, it’s not even an option they can choose at this point.
Sad to see the most original console shooter Forgetting how it got here.

No, sorry but that simply isn’t true. Execution rules lead to gnasher only fights not respawn modes.
It really can’t be debated.
If you can’t kill from afar, then you either needed the power weapons or to use the gnasher.
It really can’t be debated.
Not arguing or being rude but facts.
Not saying you guys are wrong for wanting it tho.

You proved my point in YOUR first paragraph.

"Was there some times like monday at 3am where u might not be able to get a game in your region? Yea. That doesnt mean there isnt enough population to leave a mode up on quickplay anyway. Just bcuz a ranked environment cant be maintained doesn’t mean there arnt enough people for quickplay. " - - - - - - YOUR own comment man!!!

This is how much people want to argue. If TC wants to condense the Playlist then you just gave a valid reason for it. Ahahahahahaha
Again, I’m not even against it. I simply stated it can’t maintain the population.
If it can’t maintain a ranked population, from a Fan standpoint, I get the just at least give us a quick play list argument.
BUT again… If the goal is to lower Playlist overall… It might have still gotten cut because of that… Get it?
You didn’t counter anything I said. Grow up.

“Its either out for a rework or its out for now untill they decide what to do with one life modes.” - - - - - - YOU

Ahahaha this is comical man. If it is the original mode… Then… What is there to rework… Ahahahahahaha ha. You mean to tell me they must rework the same OG game mode​:joy::rofl::joy::rofl::joy::sunglasses::rofl::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking::thinking:
Come on man
Stop the disrespect.
Clearly it was a population issue.
Again, I’m not saying you guys are wrong for wanting it. I simply stated it may have gotten cut due to population.

And the genius comeback was that they needed to rework a game mode that has existed for 15 YEARS. :joy::thinking::joy::rofl::joy::thinking::rofl::joy::thinking::rofl:
Stop stop stop and YOU disrespected me nothing.
Do you get that?

#32

No offense man but will you please leave my thread ? You have made zero counters or arguments to further your point. You’ve contradicted yourself several times and your clearly not trying to see other views with an open mind. If it’s not debatable, stop debating it from the other side and move along. Absolutely no one here cares to read another one of your posts lol.

That is nonsense.
I simply stated that the population is too low in the game and they might have cut it because of that!!!
To refuse to acknowledge this is insane man.
The game is not even in the TOP 50 MOST PLAYED GAMES on Xbox live anymore.
How is what I am saying not relevant?
YOU ARE LYING to protect what you want.
Everything I said made logical sense.
Which is why no one can respond to it.
Get it man?
What did I say that was wrong?
Tell me how my original point was wrong and I will leave.

I never said it shouldn’t even be in the game.
I said it hasn’t been the same IMO since party chat.

This is literally my first post on your thread.
Stop lying.

#35

Multiple ppl tell you, you’re being illogical and contradictory.

But we’re all crazy?
We’re the ones lying?
Lol ok

Get rid of gridiron and make the meelee stronger takes 5 swipes to knock someone down.

#37

A bit off topic but I’m no gridiron fan myself, idk many ppl that are. Ppl only play it cause it’s the closest to execution they offered.

Game is can’t make top 50 on Xbox most played and is #498 on steam and can’t even crack 500 players at a time on the biggest pc store.
Along with game pass.
Along with being a showpiece for the new worlds most powerful console.
But
Execution being cut… Isn’t about population…

Maybe

They are reworking the game mode…
That has been in the franchise since…
2006
Because…
Perhaps they need to rework it… Or
Figure out what do with one life game modes
:thinking::wink::smirk::joy::joy::joy::joy::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
But I am insane…

INSTEAD OF…
YOU GUYS ARE THE AL BUNDY OF VIDEO GAMERS
:thinking::blush::wink::joy::rofl:
You guys ruin this franchise.

Stay in that nostalgia buddy.
It’s a heck of a drug.

You have five comments posted before this. And you say he’s lying.

#41

I agree %100. I just hopped on for the first time for Operation 5 and I was so excited seeing the old and new characters and maps and then boom… “Where the **** is Gridiron?”

For the first time I am actually upset. I have put up with all the changes since launch and gave them the benefit of the doubt, but what the hell is this?
In Operation 4 my favorite game modes were Gridiron and 2v2 Gnashers because I personally don’t like the more hectic game modes that much.
They are alright and I will still play them, but why completely remove both now?

I’ve always came back to Gears but I’m gonna give it a break until they bring back some type of single elimination mode. It’s too much to deal with along side the 4v4 and movement nerf, I’ve never been this upset about Gears, but I am with this man when he says we were insulted.

Lol I just realized that Girdion isn’t even in the quick play anymore.
That means 2 more Medal sets are not finishable…did they ever give a reason for that removal ?

#43

Your response is simply IGNORANT.
What does that have to do with my point.
Either counter what I said or don’t.
You responding the way you did just proves I am right man!!!
You guys are frigging sociopathic lunatics.
YOU are wrong man.

#44

We all just want execution back. I don’t know why you’re here.

#45

A melee does 51% health damage.

Not sure where you are getting 5 from.

Besides you shouldn’t be meleeing people anyway.
