Operation 5: Hollow Storm PvP

Gears 5
#61

Its possible but very very improbable, not only is Gears of War (as an engine/code) likely not capable of having that many players on at one time, but it would be bizarre for any other BR player so doubt it would work.

What I do think is possible is either a really complex version of Overrun (like it was in Judgement but with Skill cards and stuff) or even just a regular 5v5 versus match but as I said with skill cards and it being asymmetrical. My theory is that in Gears 6 they’ll probably just make you (the player) a rookie Carmine or something and you experience everything from that point of view, so it’ll have a skill/progression system like what Jack has but it’ll apply to the Carmine as well. If that is the case a aysmmetric PvP is definitely a real possibility, but they could also likewise just leave it as it is an just hope other modes are more popular I guess.

I’m sidetracking at this point so this will be my last reply about this subject lol.

Wow, i was not expecting this…

While i am an OG GoW players i had fun playing 5v5 koth, yes, i do not like 5 stack as well, but i am not gonna deny that if you have a good team it leads to a nice and intense gameplay.

There is much to talk about the weapon changes however i assume there will be a dev post to discuss.

  • Kudos for the penalties with quitters, no objection on that

-From the comments on the forum and twitter 4v4 koth should be discussed, people said that the maps feel lonely and round time is longer (Plus i think is not the root of the problem, GoW 4 had this and was succesful)

  • While there are mods that are not too popular (that is in all the games), i think it should not be removed, as there are players that enjoy it and is easier to find on ranked, plus there is no bots on rankeds…

Operation 5 got me hyped with the new content but this PvP post sort of affected that hype

Not only are there no bots in Ranked, you need a full team before the match starts (no uneven teams like 3v2 or 4v5 for example), and you also get better rewards for Ranked.

Not only this but TC already said they will not increase rewards is Quick and Custom bc people would “cheese” their way to getting said rewards. Now, you’re forced to play other game modes you necessarily don’t want to play only bc the output is better. I personally don’t care for weapon skins or anything but others do. Some are achievement hunters so that Re-Up achievement will be harder to get playing anything other than Ranked (minus Horde and Escape obviously but some people don’t want to play PvE).

So can you still have a team of 3 out the 4 or is that not a thing anymore? Like I only team up with 2 people. Even when it was 5v5. So TDM is a max of 2 in a team we knew this from Op4, is KOTH a max of 4 or is that dropped to 2 aswell? :weary:

4v4 for KOTH is terrible.

It should always be 5v5 minimum.

KotH is now 4v4 and you can have a full 4 stack

Actually yes. With the right team the retro can make it impossible to get to a hill.

Imagine trying to slow down the game even more Jesus, let’s hope this doesn’t make the full playlists

Agree with some changes but most definitely nothing to do with slowly down the game when gears has always been fast paced and hard punching

I remember being in a stream watching Dana talk about 4v4…hyping it like he hyped pahanu …and then he asked the chat what they wanted and a majority said they preferred 5v5.

He thought people would come around eventually.
They didn’t. We like 5v5, we like koth the way it is now.

All you had to do was add more maps, deal with quitters, don’t screw with the guns and enjoy the praise…but nooooooooooooo…

4v4 koh . What a absolute joke !
Xbox is about playing with friends yet you discourage that . Now you’re going to destroy friendships for people that are in stacks . Gears has been a 5v5 your 10years and has no problems .
You waste so much time and effort with this stupid ■■■ ideas , I’ve really lost faith in my favourite franchise. You always cater to the cry babies and people that are terrible at gears .

Says the Claws weapon jam feature is gone. I’d honestly be ok with that being added to PvE.

That’s honestly the worst part about the claw.

Is it true that king is going to 4v4?

If so why?

Already defaced TDM

Can we just leave PvP alone.

Thanks.

I Agree, the player should not be “forced” to play other modes that does not desire, I think gridiron was a good option for that nostalgia of classic execution. The effort to improve the game is appreciated but seems the options are narrowing :/.
Koth is popular because there is no limit on respawns maybe another game mode around that mechanic would´ve been worth to explore

I never tried 4v4, but I’d think it would be weird…

Good thing I’m grinding FFA this season… :sweat_smile:
I assume quickplay is still 5v5, but don’t know for sure… :worried:

It sounds like removing the speed boost after using a cover move will make wrap arounds less likely. Looks like theyre reducing overall speed and the power of the rifles. Pretty funny that they do that on the Gears 2 update.

Stacking on social is pretty lame…

Most my friends are masters or diamonds so I’m not going to beat up on kids or people who are learning…

What a damn shame…

Honestly this is trash…

They make so much progress but always undo it …

They have simple jobs.

SIMPLE.

Make maps, make skins, & build off what they have…

Keep hacking up ranked modes for no real reasons…
