I don't believe that list worth a shit. One of the most talked about/damn near confirmed was Clock Tower and I don't see it on that list...
Also, WTF @ the name "Quiet Place." Stupid as hell name if you ask me.
If that list IS real...I'll bust 200239482093402 nuts because Subway is on it and that is by far and large my favorite map in all of the Gears franchise.

Somehow that map was always a good laugh, maybe it was the random hammer deaths.Jrmint said:
When you get two decent teams on rooftops the push and pull caused by the sniper and hammer of dawn is legendary. Eventually one team breaks down their opponent grabs the torque and then the pressure really piles on. The gnasher battles around the the raised platforms and the guy shooting from the dugouts is just great. Almost all the time one team is pushed all the way back to spawn.Jrmint said:

I dunno, I loved it's size. It could get really intense in the middle area. As the fights went on, each team would gradually pull back which allowed for a more 'tactical' approach. It captured the feeling of rushing into battle with your comrades, seeing them get blown to shit, then running off 
Plus it was one of the maps I saw when they first started showing Gears 1 off.

I think Overpass is great as a Horde map and as a Horde map only. If everyone in your group spends on defenses and cuts off enemies as they appear, it's fine. That is until you get to a higher wave and there's more of a strategy involved.
But any other type of play, it's horrible. Every time I play with randoms, one team always ends up at the top of the stairs and racks up kills....or they get the bright idea of camping near the opposing team's spawn point. The map then turns into a SOS camp or a sniper's camp.

I'd also like to see Old Bones getting a remake for Gears 3. Actually, I would like all the map packs from Gears 1 and 2 getting a remake. And all the regular ones. Just put every map you've made for any Gears in Gears 3. With dedicated servers, it would be a whole new experience, even for maps like Rooftops, Avalanche, Raven Down, Bullet Marsh, Process and every other map I've literally played for months.
Just imagine Gears 3 with about 60-70 different maps. That would encourage me enough to get seriously 3.0.

Aside from its layout Rooftop also had changing daytime. A nice little extra touch to add to the great design. They should rework the spawn areas though.

PXG you always invite me to play at such the wrong times. Maybe one of these days the stars will align and we can play together.

There should be some (crazy, demented) people playing Gears 2 still, though IIRC private matches also awarded experience after the last TU, so you can play Horde or something on your own and level up to 5.mocoworm said:

I think the gnasher has been slightly buffed.
I could be crazy too.

I was playing Horde yesterday with some randoms on Sandbar and got lucky enough that the first 3 boss waves were corpsers so, with the turrets and and a silverback we kicked their asses, at wave 31 two people lef and we continued till wave 40 (without losing one single round) with a brumack and there were just to many boomers, maulers grinders and armored kantus, we would have gone till wave 50 if it wasn't for those who left.

The simplest solution is to bring back Social Horde, in other words, let people join in progress.
Yeah its annoying when you're in Horde for the long haul and teammates leave at Wave 10, but you gotta just remember that shit happens and life gets in the way sometimes. Also, I try to send out invites to fill the open spots. About 50% of the time I can get a friend to come fill the spot, so its all good. Try it!

I know, I meant allow randoms to matchmake and join games in progress too.Moofers said:
I guess it'd be easier if the game used the good ol' lobby system instead of matchmaking...

But at least I looked up how to unlock the Super Reload mutator. Now my Insane campaign run will be.....doable.
Does using mutators still count towards achievements and unlocks?

Subete no aware
Super Reload, Instant Gib, and Infinite Ammo make Insane actually playable. Haha.LosDaddie said:
