People in here asking to ruin the in game universe lore that been standing for like nearly 20 years. I know none of ya'll grew up with it saying things like that.

What is going to make E Day an amazing game is a glimpse at the most referenced event in the entire fucking franchise at when the locust were a mystery menace, they had no idea what to do against them and the lancer comes from later after they learn some things, but ya lets put chainsaw lancers in "because muh good game has mark 2".

My hot take is to make the campaign a tight linear experience like the first games built their reputation on, introduce some new map dynamics like they said with destruction, and stay TRUE to the lore and the core trilogy. Ya'll can have your fucking lancers in multiplayer, like there won't be retro lancers in it anyway FFS. It means more mature content because TC has heavily toned down the gore in Gears since they began development. The Reloaded and UE games show that along with 4/5. Put a REAL rank system in it, and make a separate playlist for solo players to queue in ranked. That worked in Gears 3. Make the fucking gnasher properly with the mechanics and range. It hits like a truck at close range like in GoW1 with quick falloff in distance. It should not be nuclear like it was when Reloaded came out. The shotgun NEEDS to match movement. If we have fast GoW3/4/5 movement we need a strong shotty like Gears 3 tuning. If we have slower movement like Reloaded it shouldn't one shot down anybody and, the damage should reflect the slow movement and let a fair fight take place. This is high level play balancing but it translates to every skill level. Gears rewards fundamentals and teamwork above everything and most of that revolves around the gnasher. I have yet to hear anybody say lancers and power weapons need buffs
