Gears of War 2 Wish List

[Toonami Tom]

Has this topic been done before? Hmm.... oh well, should be a fun topic.:)

My wish list:

Weapons:

In addition to the Gears of War 1 weapons, I would like to see these:

*Duel Weild pistols
*Freeze Ray Lancer (Freeze ray with chainsaw)
*Electric gun (like the gun from the Matrix when they are in the 'real world')
*Predator Machine Gun (a huge machine gun. Players would probably move slower holding it, but it could blow an enemy to bits.)
*Mines with a remote
*Katana and duel weild katanas (not sure how this would fit in the game, but it would be cool.:D )


Vehicles:
*A Halo-like Warthog vehicle that can be used at anytime.
*Motercycle with weapons, or able to use your shotgun or pistol while driving.
*Other random vehicles to use at anytime.

A good MP. One that's not glitchy or repetitive.

Repetitive? Here's Halo in a nutshell. Walk, shoot, throw gernade, jump, die, respawn, repeat.

And PLUUUUEEEASE!! No, swords in Gears. Swords in halo and PDZero were stupid and overpowered. And duel wielding is the devil. The devil I tell you. Why would I waste my hands on two wimpy weapons when I could carry around one big heavy weapon that deals maximum damage? Vehicles are for Halo, not Gears. It would ruin the stealth aspect. I'm not against an electric gun, but it needs some kind of twist, and mines are a must-have--preferably remote mines. That would be hella-awesome.

The chainsaw is the greatest gift to shooters.

[Mr. Snackpants]

Well then I guess every shooters MP is repetitive then?


Here's Gears in a nutshell. Run to middle, throw grenade, shoot, use cover, get a shotgun in the face, die, and then wait and watch a game of hide seek. All you basically do in Gears is run to the power weapons round after round and have essentially the same battles.

Halo's MP is far beyond Gears. Plus there are a bunch of different playlists, so it hardly gets repetitive. But who even mentioned anything about Halo?

[Peanut]

Listen, we've had this conversation before. TMB is sour on Halo because he sucks at it. In Gears, you run at someone with a shotgun, and whoever gets lucky and/or has the fastest connection comes out of the encounter alive.

And I think it's fairly obvious Halo can't be too repetitive, just look at how long Halo 2 has stayed among the top games played on XBL. Gears only took over that slot for a short time, then was hastily pushed back out again.

As for the topic, I think all those ideas are fairly ass. Duel wielding doesn't belong in Gears. Nor do vehicles or swords.

[Mr. Snackpants]

A longer campaign would be nice. I had a blast playing through that thing on XBL.

[Cure]

I think a better variety of weapons would be nice. Not over exaggerated stuff, but things that are different enough to keep it interesting, like laser weapons or something more creative.
