I actually like the idea of the swarm hijacking my silverback lol.
I still can’t get over the fact that TC gave us Lift after the community has been crying out for years for the likes of River or Jacinto. Like how do you wake up in the morning and say you know what…Lift. I’m gonna give them Lift. How can you be that incompetent? Not only that it’s being reskined for a 3rd time and it’s one of the worse maps from Gears 4.
Stop critics !! It is the biggest gears Game ever with 8 maps now and Lift
Spoilt for choice 
I blame the e-sports push
the maps we’ve grown to love throughout the series has taken a backseat to pleasing the “pro” esports players. You probably noticed all the maps that returned in Gears 5 have been the maps that are constantly played in that scene.
those tournaments were never played on Gridlock, Canals, War Machine, Checkout etc.
then, unsurprisingly, the two new maps for OP2 are very esports focused. Lift was a constant mainstay at tournaments in Gears 4. This new map, All Father Arena looks like another one.
Like honestly 1 new map in 3 months !?!? That’s not acceptable in this day in age of gaming exspically when the game only launched with 7. The drip feed content is gonna break them.
The industrial looking maps are getting really tiring.
TC really need to branch out from industrial themed maps.
Hint hint TC… Go play gears 1 to 3 for inspiration. Heck, you’ve got plenty of non industrial locations in the gears 5 campaign to work with.
Hint new hope, azura, any of the ice sections…
Man you preaching to the choir.
I don’t get it either. I could care less about the E sports BS. You should make a game that’s true to what it is. Not turn in into something else because of the way it’s played. Esports should not be what the game is made for. Rather have the Esports adapt to what the game is.
I mean come on.
Diner was awesome, easily one of my favorite maps in the series.
Sing it brother
I want to know why they refused for months to add the gears 4 maps into pubs that launched with the game and then gave us lift a gears 4 map as dlc
Again, escalation has a lot to do with the map decisions.
This game is turning the corner for the better, but I just feel that the first impression was so bad that people will not give it a chance anymore.
What TC does and says is so infuriating at times that it really makes people like myself not even want to play the game.
Yes, they are updating the omen opacity (we said they should do this back in June!), movement, adhesion, tuning, etc - but the issue is why did they get it so wrong? Good that they are changing these things but how where they so stupid to not get it right at first?
See my post above about infuriating things that TC does.
ya. seems contradictory
but if you look at it from their perspective they knew Lift was coming down the pipe eventually with people asking for the five Gears 4 maps? they knew it was going to tick people off.
it would be a game where they had 7 new maps and 6 ports. optics aren’t good
But the cod players wont watch…and wont spend in the store…this would be wholly unacceptable 
Greed🙄
Great. That image reminded me of how much better the old maps used to be. 
Totally agreed with you
After all it seems TC doesnt understand the franchise at all, I mean gow4 mapps in the UE4 looks great but this industrial environment is very common in almost every map in Gears 4 and 5 and gets boring really fast, they should stick to the original map style (in architecture, materials like stone, not too much metal and darker maps or gray colors, like the colors in Gears 3 just more colorful but still dark) and Try to make the “Pro Players” adapt to the game and not the game adapt just for a little group of players, thats a great mistake
If you let people have maps they want there would be no new ones
