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
