The lower player base has nothing to do with skill… it has to do with not enough gametypes split core and bad loot system…
Used to grind for all the skins in gears now i turn my head the other way because i hated gambling for items…
I dont really mind the mini map so far but its gotta be right
Not true. I’ve heard quite a few people comment on the skill gap being prohibitive. A friend of mine even mentioned it in one of his gears YouTube videos and I was surprised how many people echoed his sentiments in the comments section. That’s when I first realized it was an issue. Might not be a problem for you or I but a lot of people find it frustrating, especially after gears 4 was over a year old and the matchmaking started getting unbalanced. That’s when a lot of my friends quit and only hopped on when they could get a carry.
I had a fear they would take this from Escape and put it into mp. Just like the inverse omen I think this is a terrible idea.
Not sure why you’re directing this at me. My only annoyance is having the mini-map on screen 24/7 rather than hidden neatly away in the Tac-Com.
The mini-map looks like its here to stay regardless, i just don’t want it filling up my screen. But I can’t see how a mini-map is going to “hold anyones hand” in competitive, as players are usually constantly marking/calling out anyway.
Whether the mini map stays or you can turn it off,My poor character going to have many holes in his/her then a tea bag,just lets see when the tech tests comes around.Has TC said anything yet if mini map going to be able to turn it off in verses/competitive please.
I just hate having stuff cluttering my HUD. I don’t mind the idea as long as it’s not COD-style showing enemies when they shoot, but a toggle on it would be nice. Sometimes it might be nice to know more specifically where my team’s at, but the Tac-Com is enough for me 90% of the time.
It seems it’ll be like the map in 4 is now, it’ll only show marked enemies. You’ll still need Tac-Com anyhow, considering the “mini-map” is just that, a miniature map that only lets you see about 2.5 tiles past you in any direction. You’ll still be hitting Tac-Com just as often as you do now to see pickups, teammates and enemies that are further across the map.
If that’s how it is, I’d have no problem with it and I’d probably just toggle it off to be honest. If it’s like that, it sounds more like something to help new players who are used to mini-maps get into the game, rather than a replacement for the great marking and Tac-Com systems that are already there.
Yea, one thing I could see it helping with is if an enemy is up to 2 tiles directly behind you and marked, you’ll notice them easier than with Tac-Com.
But is tac com even confirmed?? Its been it every gears but i can see them getting rid of tac com now considering we have a mini map . It kind of defeats the purpose of tac com other rhan being able to distinguish enemy or friendly nades.
Plus the buttons are being changed i can see them using left bumper for something different
Map isn’t even going to be in future builds of MP, it was only early builds
That is what I’ve been hearing. Pro player Kenny Bounce said TC Ryan even tweeted about it but I wasn’t sure where to look
I think that´s because the Warden is not a boss enemy, but rather just a Scion. A Standard enemy. I think he repaces the Maulers.
It definitely doesn’t defeat the purpose of Tac Com.
Well we know now that the mini map wont be in multiplayer
TC Octus mentioned it in a recent post on these forums too. The footage filmed for this stream was from several months ago, and they’ve since removed the mini map, which is an Escape mode only feature.
Was it mentioned anywhere, why no more mini-map in Versus?
It is seen in the latest Versus footage.
