Ok so i no we all want BRAND NEW maps for gears 5 but honestly guys what classics do we really want back!!? Its time the coalition revived so golden oldies!

In op 5 im hoping we get 3 new maps an 3 classics back!
Heres my top 10 id love to see back!!
1 mausilium = gears 1
2 mansion = gears 1
3 river =gears 2
4 hail = gears 2
5 tyro station = gears 1
6 streets =gears judgement
7 day one = gears 2
8 sandbar = gears 3
9 trenches = gears 3
10 subway = gears 1

I think releasing 1 or 2 of these every operation alongside a few new ones over the next 2 years will keep gears 5ā€™s life cycle pretty fresh an enaging for us!!

Mansion was only remade once in Gears 2, shocked it hasnā€™t been remade since. Just a really iconic map, I remember it fondly even now. Everybody knows theyā€™re gonna remake River though, TC likes campy maps.

Yeah Mansion is defiantly in the top 3 maps of all time they need to bring it back, I donā€™t get why they donā€™t remaster all the maps they copy and paste from gears 4? There so lazy, even blood drive and check out is the same from gears 3ā€¦ 10 years ago it baffles me

Iā€™m of the belief that they (TC) would be fine if they did nothing but remake mapsā€¦ There are tons of great maps from GOW1-3 that havenā€™t been remade yet lol, but this is a really shallow idea when you think about it. If you are a map designer, and you are trying to ā€œsellā€ yourself to a new employer, which one would look better on a Resume/Portfolio? a map that you built from the ground up, or a map that was made by someone else? Map designers have much more incentive (long term) for them to make new stuff, this is why TC would much rather give us Harbor than Cove, Vasgar instead of Trenches, you get the drill.

Porting maps from Gears 4 isnā€™t as simple of a task of copy and pasting them sadly, at least not from what was said a week or two ago in a dev stream, considering its the same engine (unreal engine 4) and the gameā€™s arenā€™t drastically different (no new mechanics or anything that would mess with map design) I think that a port probably takes around 2-3 months to complete. I also donā€™t think that all of the Gears 4 maps are really desired in Gears 5, there are a few that I want to see make a return (Diner, Relic, Dawn) but I donā€™t care too much for the rest.

A remake wouldnā€™t be a remake if it were drastically altered, that would kind of defeat the purpose. Imagine if they just decided Gridlock shouldnā€™t have a sniper tower, or BloodDrive shouldnā€™t be a campfestā€¦
They like to bring maps back just as good (or bad) as people remember them :slight_smile:

Yeah I agree all the maps are already there in the trilogy they just to re add them, even new fans would love them and I think it was gears 2 gridlock I could be mistaken but it was the same map but under ice and still had a sniper tower, remaster basically means just change the theme we donā€™t want the legendary lay out changed, if they brought them back gears would be saved, imagine every single gears map in one game that would be perfect

Totally agre. Tc can make solid maps.

#13

Itā€™s awful compared to the old maps, thereā€™s no middle itā€™s all on the edge of the map, when fighting its too narrow

#14

ā€œtoo narrowā€? I like the map exclusively for how CQC heavy it is, more like not narrow enough lol. The map is a joy to play both MP and Horde on (though its a hard Horde map imo.

Itā€™s no gridlock or mansion tho is it

#16

Those maps play and feel drastically different, Reactor isnā€™t close to either of them in terms of design. I suspect Reactor will become a cult classic, sort of like how Bullet Marsh or Hail or some of the other older maps were, but itā€™ll never be a top voted for map simply because of how weird it looks and feels.

Mansion/Gridlock are simple, people like simple.

Edit: its why Reclaimed is so popularā€¦ Even though its arguably trash tier map.

I need to play it more and see if I like it, at the moment I feel like itā€™s nothing special and bullet Marsh now that is a sick map
