Gears of war 2 was a great game don’t get me wrong, but it did have a few flaws. This list is a list that I think most gamers would agree that would make Gears 3 an amazing game! Online Multiplayer Works Out Of The Box

Now Gears 2 is the game I find myself playing the most online but it didn’t used to be that way. On the midnight release of the game I took it home to play multiplayer. But it took around twenty minutes to find my first match. Until a few recent patches the matchmaking was just terrible and it’s still not great! I would love to see Gears 3 have a more fleshed out matchmaking system. For instance either you love halo or hate Halo you have to admit that its matchmaking is near perfect. I would love to see Gears 3 have a matchmaking system like that.

Make A Bigger, Better, And More Badass Horde Mode

Yes Horde mode was great but it got repetitive quickly! In demo builds of Horde it featured Reavers. Why didn’t that make the final version? Here’s a idea: Every time you finish ten waves the game should through Brumaks, Reavers, and Berserkers at you. That would be a challenge! Also after the Horde level up they should increase the enemy count, this would make the game more fun and challenging. Only 50 waves was a let down once Call Of Duty World At War’s Nazi zombies featured endless waves of baddies. Wouldn’t a endless Horde mode be awesome? I hope Epic thinks hard about buffing up Horde mode.

We Get To Fight A Brumak

Yes in Gears 2 we fought countless Brumaks. But in the PC version of the original Gears Of War you get to fight a Brumak on foot! It was one of the most intense and panic driven segments from any game I have ever played! They should do this for Gears 3, even if it’s the same scene from the PC version of Gears I would still be happy. When we fought Brumaks in Gears 2 it felt like child’s play and was easy. I want a real challenge where we fight a Brumak with nothing but our lancer and cover.

We Find Out About Adam Fenix And The Locust Queen

I hope Epic finishes the series with a HUGE story. After reading the books and played all the games, the mystery surrounding Adam Fenix and the Locust Queen have grown tremendously. Who is the Locust Queen really? What is the relationship between Adam Fenix and the Locust Queen? One can only hope these questions are answered in a proper way.

5 Player Co-Op

Now for me the only thing that made Halo 3’s campaign playable more than once was the 4 player co-op. It would be nice to see Gears 3 have a 5 to 4 player co-op. Baird, Cole, Marcus, Dom, and Carmine(?) would be so much fun to play with 5 people. The path selection could be done better and could be a more of a challenge.

More Weapons Including Melee

It was a nice add on of the Mortar and Mulcher in Gears 2 but it would be nice to see some new weapons that were as original as the lancer. Also if we as players could wield melee weapons such as Skorge’s staff. Epic made melee and gun play fun with Unreal Championship 2 so why not Gears? It would add a more fun and strategic way of approaching certain situations. Epic should consider dual wielding pistols as well. Two Boltoks for easier head shots would be fun!

Improved Multiplayer

The thing that makes games like Call Of Duty and Rainbow Six so addicting online is that you get rewarded. In Gears you don’t get anything except a number. It would be very cool to be able to add parts to pre existing guns. Like a scope on a Boltok or after the Torque Bow arrow explodes it releases poison gas to take down nearby enemies. Customization in armor as well would be nice. Halo 3 had that and it would be nice to see various helmet styles in the Gears universe. If these ideas would be implemented in Gears 3, it would take over LIVE.

So there you have it. That’s a list of what I think would improve the game and bring more players into the franchise. Please comment with ideas and improvements YOU would like to see!
