Lol, the maps you mentioned all have little game plan possibilities. Rustlung is different but, that’s the OG Gears way though.
No Gridlock…just no, it’s needing a break from being available as it’s not the greatest map.
Process, Jacinto to name a couple.

Blood drive again but the one from judgement with the vast openess to prevent camping 
I´d like to generally get new maps. I mean, Gridlock has to be in, because it´s a tradition. Otherwise, I´d like them to mostly keep new maps. I wouldn´t mind if they release the most popular map from each Gears game (except Judgment, because those maps probably won´t fit Gears 5 Gameplay) after release. I´d love to see Mansion return, same with Jacinto and Trenches. From Gears 4 they could bring back Reclaimed. (I´m not saying those were the most popular one´s, just the one´s I´d love to see return at some point.)
Otherwise, I´d have them release new maps only. I just can´t see Blood drive and Clocktower anymore. Ugh, ■■■■ Clocktower in particular. Don´t get me wrong, it´s a good map, but people vote way too often for Clocktower. Same with Blood drive.
Oh no, don´t tell me they are indeed bringing the mini map to MP and other modes. It will probably be in Story too.
Ugh. I mean, I don´t hate Mini maps, but what I liked about Gears, was that you had no HUD, other than Ammo count and reticles. It was pretty immersive. But we´ll see how the map fares in MP. I guess it´s a counter to the new Omen. Or they will have bigger maps this time around.
They said the mini-map was made because of Escape, it helps you see the venom catching up to you. In Gears 4, you could always just hit View + B buttons to see your map and player locations, alot of people ignored it because it wasn’t practical to use often. The mini-map just makes it always accessible.
On map remakes, in the last dev stream Dana mentioned River, and him and Octus were kind of joking around and Octus made sure to say he loved it in Gears 2, to not hype anything. The way they were acting gave me the feeling they were hinting that River may be a returning map though.

I know, but I don´t like the mini map because to me it makes the HUD a little bit crowded. Generally, I never used the map to know enemy locations.
River would be nice actually. Still hope for more new maps though.
If the mini-map shows enemies I’ll have a problem with it as well. TC are probably doing it to make the game more appealing towards Fortnite fans. Same thing with the new Omen to change it more towards a rifle meta, instead of 99% Gnasher fights all the time. (which is actually a good thing imo)

I assume it’ll show marked enemies, until the mark wears off, just like View + B does now in 4.

River PLEASE
I have to say that as much as i want new content there are still plenty of great Maps from all gears games (yes including Judgement) that would be welcome
Not just Fortnite fans. Mini-map existed way before Fortnite was released. Think open world games. GTA?
If River came, it might have like four defendable locations. Both buildings and both spawns. Seems like it would do good as Horde map.
Even though I do not play MP much, I would love Mansion.
I couldnt agree more, iy does not need a mini map to show you where people are. It would just be clunky on the screen and really take away from MP
It’s tiresome. Its been played the same way on every game mode for 13 years. Personally, I’m at the point now that when the map is selected in versus, I dashboard - I loathe it that much. But each to their own
Yeah, that makes sense. They can still be thrown in there like the 2-maps-a-month thing they had for Gears 4. Rather than 2 maps a month, have the maps bundled together - 4 or 5 in a pack - and release them every 3 or 4 months as compensation
Yeah. I think the key thing is that TC don’t overcommit to something they won’t be able to deliver, which was what they did with the GOW4 season pass. They just need to work at their own pace and release stuff when they are ready. I think it’s fair to say that fans want quality over quantity, and we’re happy to wait if it meant we got quality material.
Yea, I’d say that’s the exact reason they aren’t making any promises like that. I mean, come on, we all know they really didn’t LOVE the idea of “remixes” like they went on about. They didn’t want to just come out and say we don’t have the manpower or budget to keep up with the new maps, they had to do that, but they knew we were getting jipped.
