Here is a crazy yet interesting idea! What if maps for VS. Mode and Horde mode were the same titled area but were differant between the Two modes? Example a classic map like Drydock or River from Gow2 had its PvP the same but Horde mode same area differant setup or location in the area I feel pahnau is foreign to the usual story of gears of war not alot of people know the background or reason why it looks like a destroyed bloody cannibal swamp corpses?
Bunker looks like garbage? What are you talking about? It looks great, aestetics are cool.
Havenât played but from what the trailer showed it looks like a really pretty map
It objectively wasnât. Absolutely nothing about the game play was horror-themed. Aesthetically, it was originally a bit darker and more gorey, but gears always played like an arcade action shooter.

How many times have u even played the map. Everyone is so annnoying on these forums. Iâm glad you have it all figured out
Wait, there are new maps in this game?
I know TC mentioned that they added 4 maps since launch, but the only one I get to play is Allfathers Arena.
I play nearly all game modes too. Ranked KOTH and TDM, Arcade and Quickplay, and now Gridiron. These maps NEVER come up in the vote. Itâs insane Lift has been out for over 4 months and I have only played on it twice.
A very serious, and non sarcastic inquiry⌠What mode are you guys playing to get these maps?
Me too. I played on Lift just about two times last month and another G4 ports are rare as well.
I think maps rotation in the vote feels kinda off, especially it was before with guardian, arms race, and dodgeball in quickplay, when players ignored that modes and G4 maps for them.
By the way i saw no dodgeball in the vote at all, only guardian and sometimes arms race.
I finally got to play a couple of matches of KOTH on it and I canât wait until the novelty wears off so I never have to play this map again. Itâs too easy to surround people with lancers from all directions. The long grass is pretty useless.
It might play better in other gamemodes, I wouldnât know but KOTH on Pahanu is up there with Overpass levels of bad.
@I_TRS_GEAR_I Lift comes up and gets voted for semi regularly in ranked KOTH on EU servers. Iâve seen Canals once and played it once, Pahanu 3 times and played it twice in the past two days.
After a couple matches of koth on this map, it grew on me. I actually love it. Itâs a big change of pace for sure with rifles, but I love the challenge of weaving in and out of the little cover there is, taking cover behind trees, quick lancering and pushing up with a gnasher is very very fun. Took a bit tho. N itâs def different.
I like it.

I dont like it at all. I wont be playing it ever again, for koth that is.
So far iâve only loaded it up in private trying to find some kind of easter egg with no luck. I found it odd that only 1 torch shows up in the overhead map view so i tried lighting others on fire but it did nothing.

Not true at allâŚ
Besides the gritty tone Gears 1 features MULTIPLE Enemies which are introduced in a Horror-esque way like the Krill, glowing raches and the Berserker.
That canât be denied

With 6 now all the time no matter how you reload⌠HUGE QOL BUFF
On Horde Frenzy I get GOW4 maps EVERYTIME.
Youâre not getting it. Aesthetics do not equal gameplay. Nothing about how the game played was horror. Glowing wretches that bum rush you and are taken out in chain explosions are arcadey and shootery as hell. So is the Berserker. You kill it with a giant orbital laser or by setting it it on fire and mag dumping the hell out of it. How is that horror?
The Kryll are the only thing that come close to an actual horror enemy type from a gameplay perspective, and just barely.
If I reskin Super Mario Bros 3 in a Halloween style, but it is otherwise identical to the original game, I have not made a horror game.
It seems that rather you do not understandâŚ
I was talking about their INTRODUCTION and that was done in a Horror-vibe way.
How the wretches crawled on top off a building almost invisible during Dark rainy setting⌠CHECK!
How the Berserker screams and rips a Gears apart while you see only her shadow⌠CHECK!
Fights might shift the focus to a moree arcade-shooter style vibe but it is undeniable that if any Gears ever felt like a horror Game than it was Gears of War.
Only other Gears that tried to mimic that athmosphere was Gears 4 and i appreciated it for that.
Enough, thatâs how many times. So many times that if its voted for I dashboard every time. Does that answer your question?
Iâve been playing Gears so long that I pretty much know what to expect out of good maps, what works, what doesnât, etc. Did you see my little list of things that make a good Gears map? yeah, speaks for itself.
To be fair though my opinion of maps change over time, Icebound/Vasgar/District Iâve all come around to liking after getting used to them, all of that being said I mainly run KOTH so I suspect if a map is campfest in KOTH it sure as hell wonât play any better in TDM or other objectiveless modes.
I donât think Pahanu is doomed, it still has potential, my point was that the current version doesnât come close to reaching that potential.
Wait, thereâs still no vote for maps in Frenzy?
Nope
There still is no map voting in any public Horde lobby AT ALL. Just another reason why people stick to the lobby browser more.
