So many questions… why SPEYER? They couldn’t have actually thought that was a good decision right? How could they have the audacity to label it as a “NEW MAP” in their blog post when we’ve played on it for about 5 years now? Why only 1 returning map, nothing new along with it? Was Op 5 the last Op to have a big map drop?
Again, WHY SPEYER??? Does TC really just lack the creative talent to design good new maps?
[Edit] What is the actual logic of bringing back this map 1.5 years into the games lifespan? Makes me wonder what other Gears 4 maps will also be brought back in the near future. Like why not just launch Gears 5 in September 2019 with all these Gears 4 maps since they only had 7 new ones to begin with?
Should’ve Let us know from the jump that there’d be more Gears 4 maps than new maps so we know what to expect. Instead they absolutely starve us to death just so they can promise they have content to release post-launch even though it’s sh*t we already had before. Scummy tactics if you ask me. Disgusts me.
Why is TC so bad at communicating? Couldn’t they have announced this new mid Op content drop structure months ago so we knew what to expect? Why would they hold out on the other map and just drip feed it mid Op?
IF YOURE GONNA BRING BACK CLASSIC MAPS BRING BACK THE ONES WE HAVENT SEEN SINCE THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY!!! NOT THE ONES WE JUST GOT DONE PLAYING IN THE PREVIOUS INSTALLMENT YOU IDIOTS!
I mean honestly, forget about the 100 different weapon/movement tunings we’ve suffered through.
THIS IS WHAT HAS KILLED THIS GAME.
The recycled maps have quite literally ruined the experience for me. I hated the lack of new post-launch maps in Gears 4 and it’s become even worse in Gears 5 now.
It’s so insufferably BORING dude. Feels like I’ve been waiting a year and a half for the actual game to release. Know what I mean? This sh*t just feels like an unpolished Gears of War 4.5
There’s nothing to look forward to when you know they’re just drip feeding characters and skins and only dropping maps we’ve been playing on for YEARS ALREADY.
We tell them time and time again what we want and they just aren’t able to deliver. Sh*t is actually sad af out here man. Just don’t know what to say anymore. TC is oblivious.
im ok with the drip feeding of characters and skins but not ok with the maps. TC knows we want new maps, weve made it apparent since Gow4, im tired of gridlock, blood drive, check out, yet they bring them back. like you said they can just bring back unappreciated maps from the trilogy as i can name plenty that need a return. TC can make good maps but they must find it funny to watch us get mad at receiving a gow 4 map.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Gears 5 just ended with every Gears 4 map
I can’t name another title that’ll have done it at least
call it unique in that manner lol
I sincerely hope it’s not just speyer to kick start operation 6 and more get announced this week cos my god what an awful operation it’s looking if so. A map overplayed in gears 4 for years now ported over and called new
Characters look good however, 3 to start more later on. No issues there but it should be the same with maps, 3 now 2/3 more mid op.
It doesn’t make sense to me either. If they were going to release 3 maps for instance, it seems better to release 2 first then 1 later. They might be doing two drops per Operation to get players playing back again. So their numbers go back up mid-op.
Yup I have no problems with characters/skins anymore. Sucked when the game launched but we now have a wealth of new skins, lore-based skins and awesome returning skins we’ve either never played as or just haven’t seen for a long time.
The amount of good skins in the game is Gears 5s best attribute, sadly.
Yep characters are building up nicely and I wouldn’t care if they didn’t add any more now just more skins for each one for some variety. Maybe a few more locusts like the savage ones.
Maps however are still awful, completely bolstered by gears 4 ports. They’ve made some decent new maps…just not enough of them.
I thought TC said they were focusing on maps? calling speyer “new” is complete heresy and is mocking the fans. Skins for me were only icing to the cake, but I can respect the amount of work they put in to it.
Game skins to me do not add to replay ability, but maps do. They give me a reason to keep playing because I’m actually looking forward to play a game on a fun map.
This whole system of operations is a complete joke with how much content they give, I’m getting real sick and tired of this drip fed content.
I think the truth about why people are so mad is because it’s the way games are now days. Every developer likes to do the Battle pass system in order to drip feed content to players, and turn buyers into payers. This system does not work for a small community like Gears. COD and other big triple A’s can do it because they have a big community with casual gamers. (Hard to be a casual gamer on gears when your getting ■■■ blasted by sweaty wall bouncing back A killing machine)
After they said they will shift their focus not on new game modes but on new maps… 1 map on launch and 1 map mid season would be more than disappointing.
There are so many colld maps they could easy recycle its not even so much work
