Gears of War 3 wishlist

Here's some things I want in a 3rd installment

1. Explain the locust: I've played both games and read both novels, and they keep hinting at the locust's origins and motivations but it's never really explained. I want to know how the locust originated, what's the deal with the sires you encountered in that abandoned lab, why they suddenly became so hostile against mankind, where is Adam Fenix, and what is Adam Fenix's connection to the locust queen?

2. Iron out the glitches: The second game felt like it needed another month of beta testing before it was released.

3. Fix the matchmaking: Waiting 10-20 minutes to find a match=not fun.

Well, those are mine, do you agree/disagree? What would you add?

An actual boss fight this time rather than what they did with the second. And let a Carmine live!

Return the gnasher to it's original state from the first game.

1) Non-broken MP (everything from glitches to matchmaking to bad design choices)
2) 4-Player Co-op campaign
3) Slightly better graphics
4) More executions (i.e. button combinations like Fatalities to do some crazy **** to your downed enemy)
5) Use Gears of War 1 as a starting point, not the 2nd installment (darker themed, faster movement, etc..)

whats wrong with the boss fights in the 2nd?

I would like to see

-better MP(though I might it)

-4 player co-op with delta squad(I might it touch but I don't know

- female cogs(theres a female cog in the the first book by karen traviss another one in the graphic novel)

-Keep horde and make it even more bigger with like brumaks or something

-have horde to have 6 player co op

-Add a theater system like Halo 3 where you can take vids and pictures in sp,mp, and horde.

-keep the whole Carmine sibling dying like the one before it. Its funny imo

And why do I have a feeling nothing is gonna meet the standards of your list TC?..just saying. Epic has lost all credibility with me, it's gonna take hell freezing over for them to get any type of good rep back! Cuz it's lost with allot of hardcore Gears fans!gamer082009

Custimizable characters, and dedictaed servers(no more host advantage) also fix the 2piece(imo the most noobiest thing you could do)

Better boss fights and riding bloodmounts would be good.

lets not say stupid stuff on here

1. Next Gears game shud have at least a10 act story in which there are flashbacks to the pendelum wars with 4 player coop if u play as cole and baird u kinda have a different experience of the game since they split up away from marcus and dom

2. weapon playlists team snipers, team boom, and hammerburst are examples

3. Horde 100 waves of harder locusts with the maps on day night cycles at night the kryll come out for a tougher fight and i mean wave 100 has like 5 brumaks 3 beserkers and 15 boomers etc

4. new characters that arent thrown in and axed from the story within ah hour of playing

5. a long story with moments that are so crazy u wont believe its a video game

6. 4v4 5v5 and a total war playlists in which u are either a locust or cog but in this mode u are randomly put to any character in the game so u can be a brumak as locust or a king raven as a cog

but it would be great and cliffy could think about this stuff

Here's some things I want in a 3rd installment

1. Explain the locust: I've played both games and read both novels, and they keep hinting at the locust's origins and motivations but it's never really explained. I want to know how the locust originated, what's the deal with the sires you encountered in that abandoned lab, why they suddenly became so hostile against mankind, where is Adam Fenix, and what is Adam Fenix's connection to the locust queen?UT_Wrestler

What do you think?

Customizable weapons would be cool, but if you read the books and graphic novels you see that they don't have much to work with for weapons, food, shelter etc because of the Locust destroying everything. What I would like to see in Gears 3 would be some backstory about E-Day, and they should introduce Mataki from the Aspho Fields book into the story. I honestly can't see anything wrong with Gears 1 or 2. If I had to say anything bad, it would just be that the wait time for MP in G2 takes a long time to get set up. Other than that they are two of my favorite games still.

A multiplayer that isn't broken, a campaign that is a little longer with more boss battles and a better story. Pretty much all I want.

Other than explaining the horde better, adding a good climax to the story and maybe seeing some female gears, thats all.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Never ever return to the original gnasher, what killed the original for me. And of course glitches in the second, killed that online as well.

A female character would be cool.

They will probally make a prequel the explain the locaust. takes like 20sec to find a match u need to open up ur nat settings. the #1 thing they need to change is to make the server client sided so there wont be no more host bs.

Gears 2 story left me like lost usually does, more questions then anwsers so i do hope they wrap things up in the next one. Also, they just need to fix out the host issues by making servers. The only problem i've always had with gears 2 is the horrible connection issues.

ASK_Story

NeonNinja make good wishlist. Some spoiler. Spoiler OK since only Gears fans read this thread, no?

• More of Delta Squad together. The sequel didn't have them interacting enough. They were split up way too often and it sucks, because their chemistry is at their best when the nutjobs are all interacting together.
• No more bonehead moves by humanity. Oh, so they start a never-ending civil war on top of a planet that tempts the things that live underground to climb up and shut them up, then they decide it'll be in their best interest to destroy everything on the planet except for one city in the hopes of killing these things, then they decide to flood that one city.... HUMANITY IS REALLY SUCKING ASS IN THIS WAR!
• Less convuluted story. Gears 1 had a basic story. But it was cool. It was macho. Gears 2 was all over the place and felt like fanfiction from a 12-year old fanboy. Really, the Locust Queen has boobs and a dress? WTF!?
• No more stupid twists in the story. I stopped playing the game for two weeks straight after I heard, "IT'S A GIANT WORM!" :roll:
• No more new characters that die. Everyone introduced in Gears 2 dies before the game is even half-way through. What's the point of introducing them in level 1 and killing them in level 2 and trying to make me feel bad by saying, "But nothing could hurt that guy...." I get it, Tai was supposed to be a badass. He died like a little girl. His name was Tai anyway, he was bound to get it.
• No more glitchy multiplayer. Gears 2 was so unplayable it hurt.
• Expand Horde mode. This was literally the one good thing about Gears of War 2 and I feel that this mode saves the game. Expand it, give some more options for the sequel. Epic popularized the mode, now it's time to push the envelope even further to make Halo and Call of Duty try even harder to catch up again.

I love the first Gears of War. Everything about that game is awesome. Gears 2, well, they screwed the hell up with that game. Now it's time to fix things for the inevitable, probably to be released either this year or next year, Gears 3. Let's do this thing Delta Squad. Don't you go muckin' things up again!

NeonNinja

1.) Fix the matchmaking.

2.) Add a female main character.

3.) Better Graphics?

4.) More Boss Battles.

hmm, what would I want in Gears 3 . . .

the online to be fixed (and by fixed, I mean put it back to the Gears 1 way or just conform to the Halo/CoD way for matchmaking)

Big Team Battles online (make the online uh, bigger, better and more, yeah I can't finish that) but really though, give us something like 8v8 in Gears.

a Carmine must die

real Boss fight, the fight with Skorje was so underwhelming compared to fighting RAAM.

Plot threads to be filled, revelations made.

more guns. surely the people who thought to strap a chainsaw on an Assault Rifle can add one more iconic weapon to the Gears mix.

Want I want in Gears of War 3:

• A better, more fleshed out story. I mean really take the time to develop a good story, and like other people have said, no more meaningless characters that die early on.
• Fix the matchmaking.
• No more smoke grenades or sticking grenades to walls
• Bigger set pieces

Those are my main concerns with the game. I agree 100% what most people have said so far, and it will be interesting to see where they take it.

I do think, however, that Epic should really take it's time with this game. I think with a lot of people, Gears 2 left a bad taste in their mouth, and it's best to just let in sit on the back burner for awhile. Maybe a fall 2011 release would be suitable.

1.improved gameplay

2.improved graphics

3.improved storyline

4.kill no likable characters

5. for the love of god rework the melee attacks in multiplayer.

Fix multiplayer, other than that. agreed with you

OMG I LOVED GOW2 me and my friend played horde on the hardest difficulty and it took us 9 hours :D

I want something really shocking to happen like the Locust queen turns out to be Marcus's mum or something really cool!

And what the hell is up with the lambents?? We dont like them, the locust dont like them??

more weapons

Change the main protagonist.

1. Ability to play as BOOMER on ONLINE MULTIPLAYER!!!!

2. Better online multiplayer

3. Online mode where 4 Boomers are pinned against 6 COG soldiers

i didn't even know about gears 3. All i know is matchmaking was not very bad for me!

I find this thread funny because these "wishlists" are the same I saw before 2 came out. Epic doesn't listen to its customers. I learned the hard way with the first game. Didn't make the mistake with buying the second and won't make the mistake of purchasing the third.
