What We Want in Gears of War 3

Yeah forget the love stories and soap opera and get back to the game. Still, this is actually a very good game and I enjoyed playing it.

They need to get rid of the unnecessary love story and get back into the basics. Yeah okay, the characters are humans and they're trying to protect everything dear to them. Dom looking for his missing wife gave him the drive to move forward. That's all fine and it helped develop his persona. But what about the end of the game, with Marcus and Anya look at each other like school kids in love. Is part 3 just going to be another romance more developed? Or is it going to go back to the roots and just take out the locust trash. These characters are hardened soldiers and a war is waging. Why do we need to make one (or more) of them tangled in a love story.

I was thinking that if they want to add new characters that they could add Doms kids as Gears. One of those storylines were their grown up with out dad so they dont recognize him and he dont either. they want revenge for losing their mom so they joined the war. if you want you can make one of them a tom boy tough as nails girl. Anyway just thinking.

Not sure if you've seen this, James, but judging by this article, you may get your wish for a female player-character in Gears...

(Though, if your wish is granted, whether she's dressed similarly to the other COGs seems like a question mark at this point. Like you, I would hope she would be----fighting the Locust in a tanktop would be...ill-advised...)

How about for instance a FEMALE PLAYABLE CHARACTER!!!!!! nothing stupid.... a women in uniform wearing relatively the same gear as the others.....nothing sleazy. there are alot of female gamers that would appreciate it. thats my comment. and no to drivable vehicles and stuff. that would be too much like halo....and halo SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dont ruin gears with the same crap of halo. 4 player coop would be cool and melee combat would be sweet. PLEASE DONT RUIN GEARS WITH THE SAME CRAP AS HALO!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!

Jessica Alba is fine.

How about no host advantage in the online proportion of it? That could help a shit ton...

i think that gears of war was the most coolest game made for xbox360 from its chansaw\machine gun to its awsome shotguns there are many weapons that u can use in this game that are just offf the chain.. but in gears three i would love 2 see bigger and badest locust and more advanced and powerful guns and more blood and gore and more kinds of grenades i would also like 2 see levels that involve limited ammo and too many locust... i would also like 2 find out more about what happen to adam fenix marcuses dad... thanks zety101

I like the idea of "exotic locations"...

Like the rest of Sera, the idea of the whole planet being threatened is huge. There's a ton of games from that idea alone. Like some jungle warfare or in and around some mountains.

Although a sandbox idea is cool too.

I'd also like to see stealth some how incorperated into the game. Maybe assasinations or infultration missions.

I like the idea of more exotic locations and four player co-op but first things first sort out the lag that should be priority number one

I like a lot of the ideas I've read above and below, except for maybe guns and vehicles from different game universes. Separate games should stay separate. And that sand box idea about E-Day is genius. But I feel like everyone is missing a huge chance to stand on a soapbox and demand for a total revamp on the matchmaking. I don't play that game for anything but the campaign because online multi-player takes forever. The only two things they should concentrate on for Gears 3 is the story, because it's already so awesome it would be horrible if they let down all us COG's, and second, fixing online multi-player. Cause it's downright horrible.

Maybe not for the third installment but as a gears chapter id like to see a free roaming game set on emergence day - a sort of cross between gta and gears - mass carnage in the streets, screaming women and children running terrified into the jaws of a corpser. imagine creating your own online resistance whilst buildings crumble and civilization disintegrates around you. Fires rage , looters take their chances , the army looking confused and being butchered. Escaped prisoners and lunatics from the asylums on the rampage . I know that this may be controversial to die hard gear heads but seriously id be all over that...

"Remember, Epic’s blended melee and gun combat very successfully before (see: Unreal Championship 2 for the original Xbox)…"


that game sucked. seriously. and i like Unreal Tournament 3 and MK vs. DCU. but i hated that game.


1) i agree with the 4 player co-op.

2) Vehicles in multiplayer would be awesome.

3)maybe power-ups like what unreal and halo have?

4)Online challenges like in the call of duty games INSTEAD of online achievements.

To be honest I can't think of a single addition I would make. Not that I feel the game is perfect, but I was pretty satisfied with Gears 2. More of the same seems fine to me. I guess four player co-op would be nice, but I'll never play it. Maybe they should steal the class based co-op campaign from Resistance 2. That's something I'd like to see from all games in the future.

Some things I want are 1) the dual chainsaw thing in a new multiplayer mode were your in a a small inviorment and you have to kill each other with the staff. 2) 2 more gear games. 3) Dizzy to some how come back like he ruan away or something. (some bizarr cover up storry thats belivable.)4 a new character that eiather dosen't die or saves the day at the end. 5)Eaither have gears 4 (because 4 carmines My bet theyll kill all of them)or go through 2 carmines in gears 3 and I think just because you brutally murder the carmines I want the last Carmine be like Cole train x4 and kill the locust queen. Also I would like to see some more of those hilourias dizzy hat tricks/ cheats. I think all of those things would be AWESOME and be just be a little better even though its a beastie game!

(1)Dom carries a knife with a `10 inch blade, I'd like to see him use it. (2)Cole is a professional thrash ball player, I'd like to see him tackle and/or spear a Boomer or any locust. (3) I also would like to see locust picking up disgarded weapons, or perhaps challanging a COG in hand to hand combat for that weapon. (4)More freedom, combat in the suberbs (home to home). (5)Are there any Motorcycles on Sera?

I agree that we need 4 player online co-op.

They really wouldn't need to change the story at all since we're only following the lines of the single player campaign only in a different perspective through co-op. Personally I would like to see where Baird and Cole go when they split-up from Dom and Markus.

Also I would like to see the elimination of glitching in the next installment of Gears of War.

Yeah ill sue that'd be cool, how 'bout something like drones, or a gun that shoots out smaller drones. Remember the crawler cannon in Prey? Thats one of the few things I enjoyed about that game

does anyone know about the free gold lancer thing from ebgames/gamestop? i really want a code.

and now for my 2 cents,

i think they should put in the chainsaw staff, for sure. and i was thinking of a new gun, like a locust alternative to the gnasher, maybe it could be called "the choker" or "the eviscerator". kinda like a bommer with a third of the power and 5 or 6 times the clip. and the spread would be similar to a gnasher but about 2 thirds the spread.

Definently want the "Goo gun", and how 'bout a brumak wrestling minigame, as a bonus for beating the campaign. It'd be like mortal kombat with brumaks.

YOUR TEAM MATES SHOULD BE ABLE TO PICK YOU UP IN SINGLE PLAYER!!! also, better motor vehicle controls, or even better, NO MORE VEHICLES (the brumak can stay though)

being able to be play thrashball the game cole used to play
as an extra thing or online would be pretty cool

4 player co-op yes
no to sci fi weapons because that would stretch away from the whole realistic ballistic weapons
