Any map in Gears 4. Like you said, it’s gonna feel less new.
Or they learnt from mistakes and don’t bring any.
I would like to see rustlung with a few changes here and there, or the church part of mercy and honestly i thought clocktower was going to be amazing but it was kind of a let down. And it depends on the game, boxes works on gow ue but sucks on gow 4. Canals has been pretty good in all gears game in my experience. would like to see a version where iit floods and you have to go high side similar to avalance

Agree with that list except Rustlung. I enjoy that map. Especially for horde.
Honestly. I want new maps. Dawn was a fun map. A breath of fresh air. And so were a good bunch of the launch maps. Not saying I don’t want any old maps. But new maps are what the game needs to stay fresh. Even maps like glory and Speyer I didn’t like but they were new nonetheless.
How’d you enjoy playing in the same spawn, over and over again? Barely anyone places Fabricator any where else that it gets boring. Rustlung is nearly the same setup, every single time.
Isn’t Glory almost Trashball with some parts of the map removed/altered and a new skin ontop of it? I don’t really like the map for Horde anyway. Speyer was ok, but it never seems to appear anymore. Dawn was great when it first came around but now it’s kind of old. People always go into either of the spawns. Somewhat feels the same for Diner. Good map but played it so often now it’s nothing special anymore.
Re the topic - the majority of the maps should be new, and good. If that means getting less maps every few months that’s ok. I’d prefer quality over quantity. Although I can’t say I would have much of an issue with older(1-3) maps returning so long as they worked for Horde. Since I never played any online modes or offline Horde(or private Versus matches) in those games. But I guess it’s better if the games just moved forward with TC maps.

Lol. Sorry you see it that way. One of my favorite parts about that map using the same area with a different setup. And when that gets old I try a different area and start new setups. Other people I played with did the same. Not saying we don’t use the same spawn often. But you could make that claim for a dozen other maps too.
Yep. Agree with this. Getting 2 a month was nice when the game was still new but looking back I would have much rather had some grade A brand new maps every other month or something like that.
“Rustlung, Drydock, Mercy” --> 3 of my fav maps 
But hey, with a vote, we can see what the people really want!
You sir are in a very small class

34 maps in Gears 4, and only 14 are brand new. That leaves 20 revamps/remasters. Awful. Need some fresh maps, and should also scrap the 2 maps a month, and bring back map packs
EDIT
Also, PLEASE keep Gridlock out of Gears 5. Been in every Gears game (excluding Judgment) since the OG. Sick of it

If you’re meaning Paid $DLC map packs, that’s never gonna happen again with Gears. The main reason is that it doesn’t have enough of a player population to survive any type of fragmentation to the player pool. Any DLC or add-ons that could fragment the population needs to be free.
This is the same reason you see more and more shooters moving away from paid map packs and making that aspect free DLC. COD can’t even get away with it anymore, but instead of being consumer friendly about it, they’re fighting against the change and forcing people to buy the BlackOps Pass, which alots all the DLC MP and Zombie maps. That’s they’re anti-consumer way of avoiding too much fragmentation to the playerbase, though there’s still fragmentation, whoever buys it vs whoever doesn’t, rather than the old way of people having different random map packs.
Everyone else has seen the success of games like Fortnite, and how they can still make tremendous profits by being consumer-friendly, only selling things like skins and accessories, but Activision’s greed gets the best of it yet again. TC did better with Gears 4, even though you needed the Season Pass to play the maps privately, now with Gears 5, they’ve also come around to the more consumer-friendly side, which will grant them more in the long run with the removal of RNG from $DLC skins/etc.
Didn’t TC or someone from them mention something about maps being free for everyone? I don’t remember if this is the case or if my brain’s just making stuff up.
Yea, Gears 5 maps will be completely free, public and private play.

I can confirm the maps would be free.
I already went to check myself. It’s fine.
Agreed on the voting. Bring dawn back from 4. Foundations not bad just over played. I could live without fuel depot, mercy, blood drive, gridlock. Drydock. Old security was better i thought in 2. Jacinto, pavilion, stasis. Razor hail, forget what it was called terminal or something.
I actually dont have an issue with GL, due mainly to the point you raise.
Maybe set around midnight with thunder, rain. Maybe movable cover ?

It would cut down on the stalemate factor of the map.
I would like to see River and Jacinto comeback but, new maps would be better.
Let Levelord from SiN have a crack at a map or Dr. Disrespect lol. Better yet, go kidnap the mappers from Gears 2.
