Something new, hopefully. Maybe an Azura-themed map, something in the Vasgar hangar or a Gorasnaya map. I dunno, most of the campaign locations already have their own respective maps.
For past maps: a snowy version of Security, Hail, Stasis or something like that would fit in.
There’s River of course, but I think that’s basically already been soft-confirmed sometime in the past. I mean, I think.
Still waiting on one of the many maps from the Dark corners DLC to make a comeback.
Sanctuary, AFG, or even Highway would be splendid.
Be nice to see Azura return, was a great looking map on Gears 3 back on the 360, so for Xbox One & especially Series X it’ll look stunning. Should have a good chance as it was heavily involved with Gears 5’s campaign.
Oh, that’s River. IDK why I thought it was some other map the whole time.
River is another map that will be hated/unpopular right after release, like people don’t understand that Gears 2 and Gears 5 don’t play the same lol. It’ll be popular for Horde but it’ll be like Icebound or Vasgar for PvP… Good luck actually playing it in Ranked is all I’m saying.
I’ve been saying this about River since people were asking for it during Gears 4. While its a great map for Gears 2, its gonna suck for PvP
I think a good map from Gears 2 that would play well for all modes is Ruins. Plenty of cover to get around the map but also plenty of choke points
Any and all Gears 2 maps. Wouldnt mind brand new ones as long as they arent open wastelands with snipers and rifles galore.
Give me River and I’ll be so happy I wont care about anything else. I’ve wanted this map to be remade for almost a decade.
TC knows this. Now is the time. Make it happen.
I wish Relic would be remade.
Bloodlock large and Griddrive Fog.
I just want Nowhere to be honest, I think it’s the only map I’d take over River. I think I’d pick Mansion over it too.
There are a multitude of ways they could make the map function well or better for Versus in Gears 5, that being said I have zero confidence TC will do any “improvements” to a map, they can’t even make good new maps so the idea of them carefully changing a map in a previous game to be better and not ruin it is unlikely.
If they placed snipe/torque in the two building by spawn (the ones with the grenades) that would fix lots of issues I think, because lets say they get control of both towers, or even one of them, it means that they can’t just camp the entire match in the towers without running out of ammo and such. Mortar spawn would probably be frags, boomshot would be replaced with Drop (to contest tower setups) and snipe/torque spawn would probably be shock nades or something idk (I don’t like the idea of it being something worthless but I also don’t want it to be absurdly powerful)
So even with just a drastically different weapon placement I think River would be much better for Versus, they could also just have ladders that lead up to the towers (you could place the shock grenade there to block people from coming up, hence why I suggested shock) so to make them have two entry routes.
Basically gears 2 version as it was would be atrocious and unpopular for Versus I think, but if they give better counters to tower setups the map would play significantly better. Considering that TC doesn’t understand great map design (see Pahanu, Vasgar, Icebound, etc.) I’m not holding my breath.
the aesthetic is captured by Diner though right? Not sure if Nowhere deserves a remake considering other candidates.
Same
It’s in the teaser. Also, something that looks like Ruins.
Allfather’s Garden would be the greatest addition
I think we have some good insight into what we can expect now. Looks like River and Ruins (maybe Highway)…
As for the remaining 3 maps that aren’t really guessed or confirmed by the teaser, as long as they are maps that have not been remade yet, I am fine with it.
Yes, that eliminates some classics for sure, but honestly, I am so over Gridlock, Raven Down, Clocktower, War Machine, etc…
I would honestly be fine if all the maps were Gear 2 remakes… Give me some Jacinto, Pavilion, Nowhere, and Hail!
I’m okay with Gridlock coming back, but only if they make some changes. Make it so the block area on the sides of snipe flood with water. Make the bell drop down and block boom…it’s too classic not to include it at all, but an update of some kind would make it more appealing.
same old mess
