Maybe not a a revamp or a overhaul, but I would like to see some new cards for the Heroes.

We don’t need classes. What they need to do is just not put you into a game that already has the character you selected. Just a simple check of the characters currently in the game. If it’s there, don’t put the player into that game. If it isn’t, put him in. It can’t be that difficult, coding wise.

I can see the Sub-Class system being re-worked.

It just seems odd to me that JD, Fahz and a few others are listed as Offence. Kinda like they couldn’t figure out what exactly to put them in yet.

Doen’t it seem odd, that you have very Specific sub-classes, like Engineer, Tank, Scout and then Offence?

I can see TC down the road adding more Sub-classes in the game to “flesh out” Offence.

Then of course you can add additional passives and just change them to fit the Hero.

Fahz should have incendiary rounds for marksman rifles. It would make him viable along with JD & Kait’s bleed cards.

classes are perfect, i dont want to play as kait or sarah conner just so i can use their skill sets thats just lame it’d be much better if i could be say for example cog gear using emiles knife bleed and regen stim

I’m hoping for some hybrid classes where a character has a slightly mixed skill set. I really don’t want new characters to be replicants of existing character roles. They need to be different enough, but also balanced enough to stand toe to toe with existing characters so they are worth while.

I was thinking that myself but damage over time sounds more appealing. Maybe the incind rounds can go to Marcus?

True.

That would be cool. I could see Dom filling that role due to his special forces training.

However, every Hero will be in a sub-class and as it is now, all the sub classes have the same Passive. In this, I actually like as it adds a familiarity to a new character in how the passive works.

I’m just thinking about what sub-class Cole would be put into as the current sub-class system works. The only one I could see working is Tank.

But like, we have so many Sub-Class Tanks already I feel.

What do you think?

I think Cole would work as a Soldier-Tank sort of character.

His thrashball roots mean that he could incorporate speed, agility and physical power and durability.

And the Soldier element comes from say, that GOW2 cutscene where he is re-introduced after Ilima is sunk and he rescues Marcus, Dom and Carmine.

Maybe his skills could include a health buff, speed buff, Lancer buff, something to do with frag tags (as a homage to him frag tagging that Drone in GOW2) and an Ultimate which homages his thrash ball skills - maybe turning him it a mini-Berserker with increased health threshold who can charge enemies and put them down in a DBNO state for a short period?

EDIT:

I agree on Dom though. His special forces / Commando background suggests something stealthy, but maybe some support based skills too given he was Marcus sidekick?

That is straight gold!

I don’t care how much they would charge I would pay for something that freakin sweet!!!

“Wooh”

I see your point,

However. They currently have non Gears factions available in Horde so why not?

I guess they could have a Horde arcade mode?

Interesting. I personally see Horde as the opposite. It’s non-canon, separate from the campaign and anything goes. It’s just nice to be able to play as any character living or dead.

That’s not entirely fair to certain characters. Lizzie, for example. She wasn’t killed by the Swarm but the Hammer of Dawn when Baird lost control over it. And she tagged a damned Snatcher after ramming a Minotaur into it and casually walked away while waving (possibly her) DBs forward to clear out the street(if my memory on the scene is entirely accurate).

Speaking of her, I’ve been thinking of what role she’d have. Support came to mind seeing as she was in charge of an evacuation convoy, but I feel it wouldn’t really do her justice. From what little impressions we got of her, anyway.

I like your thinking.

What if she was support, That could work.

What would her Ult be? Super Grenades for a period of time? Or possibly a Taunting thing that pisses off the Swarm and boosts her damage and health during the duration by a large amount?

I dunno, but she was hella cool. I mean it took the freaken Hammer to take her out! :slight_smile:

Yeah, I don’t know about this one. Would have to be a lot to work on later waves of higher difficulties, because attracting fire from multiple Drone Elites is unlikely to work out well for anyone regardless of how tough they are. Really hope they bring her out with Operation 2(it should bring all the Campaign characters at least, I feel…). Preferably in December.

Since you’re also a Horde player, here’s a “fun” story… playing Incon Horde on an open sky map, Kestrel comes on wave 30. I try shooting it, but it keeps moving around because our COG Gear kept shooting it with a Trishot not doing a lot of damage, but just enough for the Kestrel to not hold still so I couldn’t hit it with the Lancer GL or ult well. We fail when the Kestrel kills us when it was nearly dead(no thanks to the other enemies shooting into the base because there was nothing distracting them like a decoy). And what does Del do? Calls me a frickin noob and refuses to restart. After which I explained(ok, more like said) it wasn’t my fault the Kestrel kept moving around so I wasn’t able to hit it well because someone else kept shooting it and making it move, then “wished” him good riddance and left. Wasn’t going to put up with that stupidity. “You couldn’t hit that Kestrel effectively because someone kept shooting it and made it move nearly all the time? Pfft, noob!”. I swear, the players that are out there…

Nope this aint horde…choice is what its about…heroes creates classes that make others a waste of time…little or no skill required to play horde in either 4 or 5…generally just a shitshow🤔

Hello Foosniper,

I love Horde and would have to respectively disagree.

We all have our own opinions of the Best Horde to be sure, but I actually like what they are attempting in G5.

Agreed its not the best by any means as of yet but lets give it some time and see where it goes.

Thank you.

Yep all about opinions hulk…glad your enjoying it…but it lacks any interest ir skill…empty pubs lobbies and custom showing signs of struggling…they took both skill n fun from a once great mode…thx foo😁
