My Thoughts on Gears of War: Judgment
12 years ago
Anger and Hatred are the Tools of Destruction
Ok so this is what I am concluding from gameplay footage as well as official information on Judgment
Overall I have to say well...I'm a little dissapointed :/
These are my own opinions of course but I am sure I am not the only veteran Gears fan that has these concerns and here is a list of what I believe are really big upsets for this game:
1. No Locus in Multiplayer:
I don't think this was a very good idea at all honestly, Locust have been a classic face for Gears and making it COG vs. COG is a little overboard I think. Perhaps if they added modes where Locust could be in it as a playable character would be fun. Did the fan base come up with this? I mean I'm severely confused why Epic went with this to begin with.
2. Loadout changes
For one there's no sidearm any more, mind you this is a minor oversight but I find it kind of dissapointing you cant have a pistol but again this is an oversight
3. OP Grenades
Ok lets admit getting blasted to shreds by a grenade out of NO WHERE is bad enough but turning the frag into basically a Halo Plasma grenade is a little rediculous. I think frag tagging is funny but not when it automatically sticks to someone you throw it at, not to mention you can quick throw grenades, now this may actually be an improvement somewhat
4. Class based Gameplay
mind you this is a generally good idea but making it for ALL game modes? I don't know I'm a little skeptical at this point
5. Horde has been replaced (Survival)
this is my #1 issue and if this goes off as bad I may end up selling the game back :/
There has been released information on something called "Survival" now mind you I heard its only 10 waves, and its class based, good right? WRONG
if this is what Horde has been turned into Epic should be ashamed of themselves. UNLESS this is a seperate mode alltogether and there is a Horde mode independent from that.
This will be the gamebreaker for me if there ends up no horde mode and only this "Survival Mode"
Horde is a classic gametype and we can all agree its loved by fans and is a popular game mode, I'm not big into competitive MP, but I like supporting others in Co-OP and its a lot of fun.
I don't like the idea of 10 waves, way to short, not to mention (and this is the kicker) the maps will be scaled down HALF SIZE for this game variant because apparently as quoted "It will make finding enemies easier)......
See small maps are a DEATH SENTENCE in Horde mode, on Boss waves in Gears of War 3 its extremely difficult playing on a small map because it gets crowded and you can easily get overrun (no pun intended), bigger maps allow more escape routes and more breathing room. Overall I'm going to be one angry costumer if this is what has happened to Horde.
Mind you these are my own opinions but I'm very pessimistic about this game :/
I guess I wont know until next week then lol
