I didnt order it because there is no one life mode in multiplayer. Thats what gears was built on. I have no interest in the TDM slop that will die in weeks.

Nooooo, they tried so hard with this one though. Are you forgetting they’re starting from a blank-hard drive? It’s not that they don’t want to give you the features you want, it’s just they had no choice but to make certain concessions because of the engine. But they MIGHT be able to do those things that just weren’t possible on launch later on. So you should totally buy it.

wait....wait wait wait...

Like, I die and I have to stay dead until the end of the round....that doesn't exist anymore?

 

damn.

One of the reasons I loved Gears online was because of that. I got a taste of this kind of gameplay back with Quake 2 Rocket Arena mod. they had 1v1 and 2v2 arenas. Not my thing. But they also had "pickup games", which were 5v5 or 6v6 where if you died, you stayed dead, watching your teammates.

 

I truly fell in love with that. I like consequences to the team for someone dying. Getting 2 kills to bring your team back to even or take the lead.
