i agree.. that's why Epic would have to make adjustments for the 16 player levels.. and keep things the same for 4 v 4.. as you may realize, AAA is AAA and fun is fun.. options are made and everyone is happy.. this is not a foreign concept..

and congrats on organizing a tournament.. its too bad you obviously dont play the actual game if you made the comment that 8 player matches are "rare".. :roll:

Antwan3K

I haven't played the game in about six weeks. And i did organise a tournament and it was very successful. The next Weekend Challenge is GTAIV. :| Keep up the "you must be a fanboy" thing though, it's really helping your arguement

And again; HOW can they just "change" things to accomodate 16 players? It's not just like resistance and PDZ where they just scale the maps up to allow more players. The gameplay wouldn't work with that at all, which is exactly why i doubt that you've played this game so much, because you'd know that 16 player Gears just wouldn't work.

How can you have close combat, visceral battles with 16 players? They'd have to completely change the gameplay mechanics... and if the game is already very enjoyable, why do that? Why change everything just to allow more players if it wont be any better? Do we really want just another 16 player frag fest?

You'll never admit it, but you haven't played this game. You spoke about it any way though, and now you're trying to avoid the original mistake that was doing that.

Oh boy 1 more person on the other team using a sniper rifle and blowing my head off while rolling.

:lol: That is so true!!!

So it is either too little or too much? Basically people are just looking to hate.

I was joking man, and I think the truthhurtsu was too.

5 on 5 will be fine.

i figured u'd say that.. i almost edited my statment just for that purpose.. but anyway, yes 8 player matches are extremely fun.. definitely more intimate and intense when fighting over the much smaller patch of land.. and the strategies can be made easier with the smaller number of people to communicate with..

ask anybody who plays Warhawk regularly if small scale stages are "fun".. the answer is a resounding "yes".. the devs did a masterful job with the map configs.. and since the maps are so huge to begin with, you can have almost 10 different small scale configs for each overall map.. adds alot of variety.. and other than that, it's a welcome option to the full-scale war efforts of the 32 player matches....

and how about you speak for yourself.. many Gears fans would probably love the option of 16 player matches (if Epic did them to AAA quality) while other fans will just stick with 4 v4 games.. wow.. look at those options.. ;)

Antwan3K

No I won't, because I started playing gears when it first came out and to this day, I have not heard a fan say that. Only several fanboys.

And i'm backing off from warhawk, you definately know more about the game than I do. But my point still stands, because there ARE games that aren't fun with few people. Battlefield 1942/2. FANTASTIC games, yet horrible with 8 players. Even if you played the lower scale versions of the maps.

We've been through this Resistance vs. Gears of War before...I think we all now the outcome of the last one, why start again? Both (judging by previews and news/videos) are shaping up to be amazing games, but Gears of War is, once again, looking to be the stronger game.

I really hope they get rid of the one-hit insta down. I freakin' hated that. Or at least make it so that you have to get a shot around the neck or something. Getting hit in the foot by an active reload sniper and going down was so infuriating.

lol I agree. And the 2-hit sniper melee combo gets very old too man.

I think in a recent inverview I saw/heard (cant remember if it was text or video) Cliffy said something about crawling away. So we may be able to crawl away, but I could of misheard or something.

How could they possibly have 16 players withou profoundly changing everything about the multiplayer? Explain how that would work. Unless they split it up into small teams in different areas, but that's again pointless.

You're demonstrating with every post that you haven't played this game. 16 player Gears of War just wouldnt work.

i'd gather that they could make the gameplay more squad-based with different targets/objectives in different areas and then balance things out accordingly.. i'm sure Epic could pull it off and i'm sure the fans and critics would eat it up...

it's not that hard to imagine..

He seems to think that 16 players on Gears could be done simply by making bigger levels and editing a couple of things. That's what leads me to believe he's never played the game, as i'm sure you'll agree, that simply isn't true. To get 16 players, they'd have to completely change the way the game works entirely.

sounds fair.. i respect your opinion, but i think that Epic can indeed figure out a way to make 16 players work on GeoW with AAA results and i know full well that if Gamespot gave GeoW 3 (complete with 16 players max) a 9.5, not a single lemming would have a complaint...

Why change everything about the game just to allow more players, when everybody is already happy with the small-scale combat as it is? What does that achieve?

Nothing. It'd be completely pointless, wouldn't it? Y'know, like i said in my first post.

You started off saying 5 vs 5 was a limitation, and it would be better to have the option of 16 players or so like in other games such as Resistance or Warhawk. That is completely wrong.

Simple.

I think your forgetting who your talking too. Usually when someone who denies something that can be proven with experience, hes not looking to be proven wrong. Rather, just arguing for the sake of arguing.

So my advice to you:

What me and ninja are trying to say is not that it can't be done, it's that by the time they made all the apropriate changes to make a 16 gears match playable, you basicaly wouldn't be playing the same game. If they made a gears of war spinoff that allowed that, then yea I would be more than happy to try it.

but i'll just leave you with that.. i guess if GS gave Geow 3 (complete with 16 players) a score of 9.5, you'd be the only guy crying foul because you cant stand to have those "other guys" in those 12 and 16 player rooms having such a good time.. :roll: have fun with that...

You have missed the point continually, and yet again make completely flippant comments like "if epic put their mind to it".

YES i'm sure they could do it but they would HAVE TO CHANGE EVERYTHING to make it work, which would be pointless. Why bother chaning the whole game just to allow more players when everyone is happy with how it works now?

You just argue for the sake of it.

In other words you think the multiplayer should be more like warhawk or resistence.No thanks I'd rather keep the unqiue game over the average one.

Know what would happen if you had an 8on8 match? You'd be taking cover and fighting and 9 times out of 10 you'd find yourself being chainsawed. If you'd ever played gears you'd realize it's not run and gun, it's not about how many kills you get.

To win at gears you need to think smart, be careful because there are so many ways to be out instantly and with no respawns it's very unforgiving. You need to figure out what guns you want, how your going to get ahold of them (you can't just run in and DING it's in your hands.) all the while trying to insure your team mates don't die cause if they do, you've got a big problem.

Small, tactical, squad based action. Anything else would ruin the game. Wouldn't bother replying, I wont go through the effort of trying to convince you any further, I suspect you wont listen to reason anyway.

Yea, the possibilities will probably get me killed :P Do I curbstomp, do I go ape**** on his face, execute him, snap his ... blam I get killed.

Or picture this, one squad member is having a chainsaw duel while next to him, another is beating up a downed enemy... man I'm getting really pumped for this game...

Oh please...More does not mean better.

resistance 1 had 32 players and gears had 8,but Gears scored much better.

If GeOW 2 would have 60 players, MP will be teh suck.

You do the thing where you use them as human meatshields and snap their necks :D

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"]while Resistance 2 has 8 player co-op online and 60 players online.ProductNumber49

Oh please...More does not mean better.

resistance 1 had 32 players and gears had 8,but Gears scored much better.

If GeOW 2 would have 60 players, MP will be teh suck.

Imagine the possiblities of an online match with 30vs30 people running at eachother with chainsaws at the ready. That wouldn't work for this game.

Mate, you just said 30 vs. 30 Chainsaw duels.

What is wrong with that vision?

i'd gather that they could make the gameplay more squad-based with different targets/objectives in different areas and then balance things out accordingly.. i'm sure Epic could pull it off and i'm sure the fans and critics would eat it up...

it's not that hard to imagine..

CreepyBacon

Why change everything about the game just to allow more players, when everybody is already happy with the small-scale combat as it is? What does that achieve?

Nothing. It'd be completely pointless, wouldn't it? Y'know, like i said in my first post.

what would that acheive?.. the option of playing 4v4, 5v5, 6v6, and 8v8 on different sized maps.. wow.. imagine that.. complete with a AAA gaming experience in each game type (if Epic put their minds to it)...

but i'll just leave you with that.. i guess if GS gave Geow 3 (complete with 16 players) a score of 9.5, you'd be the only guy crying foul because you cant stand to have those "other guys" in those 12 and 16 player rooms having such a good time.. :roll: have fun with that...

In other words you think the multiplayer should be more like warhawk or resistence.No thanks I'd rather keep the unqiue game over the average one.

Know what would happen if you had an 8on8 match? You'd be taking cover and fighting and 9 times out of 10 you'd find yourself being chainsawed. If you'd ever played gears you'd realize it's not run and gun, it's not about how many kills you get.

To win at gears you need to think smart, be careful because there are so many ways to be out instantly and with no respawns it's very unforgiving. You need to figure out what guns you want, how your going to get ahold of them (you can't just run in and DING it's in your hands.) all the while trying to insure your team mates don't die cause if they do, you've got a big problem.

Small, tactical, squad based action. Anything else would ruin the game. Wouldn't bother replying, I wont go through the effort of trying to convince you any further, I suspect you wont listen to reason anyway.

Very Well Put.

[QUOTE="astiop"][QUOTE="Antwan3K"]

sounds fair.. i respect your opinion, but i think that Epic can indeed figure out a way to make 16 players work on GeoW with AAA results and i know full well that if Gamespot gave GeoW 3 (complete with 16 players max) a 9.5, not a single lemming would have a complaint...

Ninja-Hippo

No way, that would totaly suck! :P

What me and ninja are trying to say is not that it can't be done, it's that by the time they made all the apropriate changes to make a 16 gears match playable, you basicaly wouldn't be playing the same game. If they made a gears of war spinoff that allowed that, then yea I would be more than happy to try it.

You are exactly right.

Antwan3K

You have missed the point continually, and yet again make completely flippant comments like "if epic put their mind to it".

YES i'm sure they could do it but they would HAVE TO CHANGE EVERYTHING to make it work, which would be pointless. Why bother chaning the whole game just to allow more players when everyone is happy with how it works now?

You just argue for the sake of it.

you wouldnt have to change "everything".. that's as flippant comment as can be said.. you seem to be the one who just argues for the sake of it and pretend to know for a fact that Epic isnt capable of such a feat.. Epic could easily keep the 4v4 and 5v5 unchanged while making 12 and 16 player maps to accomidate and support such gameplay.. as mentioned before, maybe a more squad-based concept with smaller battles and goals faught on a greater plane.. i believe if anybody can acheive this, Epic certainly can.. more gameply options will have been created and everybody will still be happy..

so i believe i've made my points clear.. astiop seems to be able to agree to disagree and meet on some form of common ground.. you sir, seem incapable of that...

the same thing can be said for nearly any tactical based shooter without respawns.. not every game that supports 16 players is "run and gun".. look at Socom or CoD4 in smaller rooms with no respawn.. small maps with a small number of players and no respawn isnt exactly "unique".. it's certainly "average" for tactical shooters and 10 players max is decidedly "below average" for the genre..

not speaking literally ofcourse.. Gears is hands down a great game.. but lets not pretend that 16 players for a tactical shooter is "impossible"...

Well yeah look at SOCOM 1 and 2 those maps were small yet they worked perfectly with 8 Vs 8. I don't get what would eb soo wrong with Gears 2 having 8 Vs 8. It would be more chaotic yet I honestly do think it would be more fun as well.

To me, 2 extra people don't seem worth the extra effort..they could've put in more fun game design instead of coding for two + people.

I felt the number was good in Gears 1. 2 more players should be cool I guess.

Being chaotic isn't what Gears is about, its about a very organized team working together to outwit the other team.

To all the haters complaining about the number of players online... Why would Epic make 60 players online when they already have UT3... Yea I know it's not 60 players but it's geared more towards "run and gun" gameplay.. In Gears, if you "run and gun" you'll die VERY quickly and screw the rest of your team.
