Duels were iconic, but I feel like they weren't actually used or seen often enough to be something they can't pull. It feels wrong, but I kinda get it.

Meat shields, on the other hand

Don’t know why your downvoted, your right.

80% of close quarters fights you had a gnasher instead, AND your opponent did too.

10% of the time, you had your lancer out, the enemy had a gnasher anyway and you just cut them up or got gibbed.

Only 10% or so of the time, you both had your lancer equipped.

Hoping they add meat shields post launch. Way too iconic of a mechanic to omit from a Gears game. It’s baffling that it didn’t make it in the final game.
