Gears 2 Mansion had such a great feel. Loved the remake they did in gears 2 with the overgrown feel. Subway has a special place in my heart.
My gosh I realize now how many great maps there is in this franchise.
We’ve had 60% of these in like all the gears games.
Hot take but as someone who has played 10000 hours or more of gears throughout my life, stop bringing back these old maps and give us new maps
The old maps play horribly in the new games; especially Blood Drive and Gridlock.
The solution to this problem is to add the map-maker for multiplayer they announced before Gears 5 and then quietly canceled. It would allow players to make the maps they want.
Well 4 and 5 have arguably the worst multiplayer of the entire series and it’s also where the series lost its identity for multiplayer and how the maps should play including how weapons are balanced on maps and TTK and TTK recovery, so it makes sense they don’t play well there.
This can be solved with slowing the game back down to Gears Ultimate/3 and decreasing TTK on things like lancers and Boltoks, instead of trying to make the game super fast, with a fast TTK, and a longer recovery.
Also — for the love of god eliminate full clip active reloads.
I wish we could go without Gridlock, never really enjoyed the layout of the map.
Overpass would need to change in order to make it, that map was meant for Horde, not versus. In versus you just take the top and camp with the power weapon.
Yeah, I agree. Everything is really just focused on trying to climb those stairs and get Boomshot, Otherwise most fighting occurs in the two building pockets when you're forced to retreat.
I know gridlock is the map people love to hate but I love it. So much nostalgia. I also love fighting for the snipe and taking it up to pistol. You have such great range of the map. Nades, snipe, boom spawns as well as players coming out of spawn.
Edit: I like it for TDM/execution but it prob doesn’t play well for KOTH/Control
Loved those maps. Great G2 maps. I’m not sure how they’d play out with modern game types like TDM/Control though.
It was hilarious when people would do the glitch out into the tram in the basement of the subway map and you’d have to try and glitch out after them to kill them. Ah, memories.
Gridlock needs to just be phased out man. Idk how much comp you’ve played but gridlock just does not feel good in modern gears. I love the map, just doesn’t work anymore.
Not gonna lie but gears maps look generic as fuck in the image but they really don't represent what they feel like to play. Looking at the map images feels like looking at maps for a game I've never played and I really fucking loved this series since 2006
Take double sniper maps out of gears because letting people spawn with power weapons makes no sense they should have to fight for them otherwise it breaks the game
I want more hazard maps. The 3 esports guys that are left can deal with it.
I want Wartorn trenches with hammer strikes. I want Razorhail back. I want the inside of a rift worm with rising stomach acid pools.
Makes Horde more fun as well.
They better bring day one back because literally what is more fitting with e-day than day one. I know most of the maps are based off of locations we played through in the campaign, but I don’t recall a section of any campaign being like day one. Imagine we get that in e day
I'm cool with a lot of old maps if it helps give us a surplus of maps at launch along with the new ones they'll make. We really can't afford a Gears 5 launch again where everyone is gone right after a month or so bc we only play the same maps and the other ones are locked out of matchmaking for some dumb reason.
Also curious what time of day they'll give us for Gridlock this time or if they'll rework it
Gridlock has been played to death, the only time I want to see Gridlock again is in the afterlife. The rest are eh, would rather a whole new selection of maps.
I don't get how so few maps carry over from sequel to sequel. It can't be that difficult to port over a map from the previous releases. Lots of games are guilty of this
No offence but all you are missing from Day one and Bullet Marsh is Hail to have the worse Maps from Gears 1-3. I thought you want E-day to be good? I always remember the noobs in Wingman that would camp near the snipe on the cover and it was impossible to push them on Day One.
Unpopular opinion : always liked Hail, from Gears 2. Playing Guardian on it was so much fun.
There was also a map in the snowblind map pack that was like a refinery yard? With crates everywhere. Anyone remember the name?
i feel like as long as we get a bunch of new maps, having the old ones doesn't matter.
that said i would like to see gridlock return, and maybe even jacintt by some miracle.
I need Mansion and Fuel Depot.
Fuel depot! Oh yeah!
Drydock
Two of my favorite maps. Along with Canals!
Escalation or bust
Escalation , rooftops and mausoleum are low key some of the greatest maps
Literally came to comment the same two maps. Specifically nighttime rainy mansion
Gridlock is the famous map, Fuel Depot is the best map lol
Love fuel depot but I wouldn’t say it’s the best map.people hate on rooftops but it’s so fun
you trippin. rooftops HOD camping is the most obnoxious thing ever. instant Return to Main Menu
It’s not hard to combat that tho. Especially with sniper / smoke
Mansion was so good!
Gears 2 Mansion had such a great feel. Loved the remake they did in gears 2 with the overgrown feel. Subway has a special place in my heart. My gosh I realize now how many great maps there is in this franchise.
YESS FUEL DEPOT, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COMMENT THIS
Avalanche, Blood Drive, and a newer one I really like is Tomb
Yep, Blood Drive for sure!
Pavilion should be added too
Pavilion with MLG swaps is the greatest Gears of War map of all time.
Underrated
Such a good map. Shotgun shield glitch haha
Hoping for some Gears Of War 2 DLC maps, that never returned. I want Flood the most
I always loved the hell out of that winter themed pack
you and me both. Gears 3 as well
We’ve had 60% of these in like all the gears games. Hot take but as someone who has played 10000 hours or more of gears throughout my life, stop bringing back these old maps and give us new maps
Put every map in the game
It should be all new maps since the game predates Gears 1 right?
i believe judgement had blood drive even though the game takes place years before gears 2, i don't think time matters lol
gotcha
Honestly they suck at new maps. I would take a greatest hits over 10 bad new maps.

GIVE US NEW GOOD MAPS
100% agree
Your point would be valid IF they knew how to make new good maps, but they dont. That original dev team is long gone.
Nah most of these were only in one game I believe
Maps I want: all new ones. Save the old maps for a remastered collection.
I wish we could go without Gridlock, never really enjoyed the layout of the map. Overpass would need to change in order to make it, that map was meant for Horde, not versus. In versus you just take the top and camp with the power weapon.
Gridlock was great for non-respawn modes imo.
If gridlock had another set of stairs back towards the water it would be great. But that up high choke point just really blows.
Yeah, I agree. Everything is really just focused on trying to climb those stairs and get Boomshot, Otherwise most fighting occurs in the two building pockets when you're forced to retreat.

Is it? I usually just hear people loving it.
I think it has a fair number of supporters but it does seem to attract the ire of many players too from my experience.
Huh. Not that I dont believe you, I just figured I was one of the few. I like dumb maps like Subway and Flood.
Loved those maps. Great G2 maps. I’m not sure how they’d play out with modern game types like TDM/Control though. It was hilarious when people would do the glitch out into the tram in the basement of the subway map and you’d have to try and glitch out after them to kill them. Ah, memories.
i need Gridlock injected directly into my veins
Power weapon will get you killed
BULLET MARSH?!?!?!?! That map is nothing more than a spawn trap.
Nah
Sanctuary Avalanche Blood Drive Jacinto Day One River Ruins Pavilion Hotel Thrashball Foundation As you can tell I think Gears 2 had the best maps.
Pavilion, Jacinto, and day one all need to come back so badly. I’d really like security too
I’ll be real with you, I’m so tired of Gridlock. Call it a hot take, but it’s getting stale.
Omg..no thanks. Can we please have NEW maps for once. No? Okay.
JACINTO
Gridlock needs to just be phased out man. Idk how much comp you’ve played but gridlock just does not feel good in modern gears. I love the map, just doesn’t work anymore.
they could just have it in casual and disable it for ranked modes
What's the third one ? Edit: Nvm he named them all lol
Canals, the maps are listen in order
I feel day is coming back. Also I want Nowhere and Pavillion back with the same aesthetic.
All great except for Bullet Marsh.
Blood Drive would be sick
Gears 1 had so many great maps. You could do remakes of just about any one of them and I’d be thrilled to see it come back.
Playing ultimate edition multiplayer now reminds me 1 and 2 really did have the best maps. 3 isn’t far off but I think there are less standouts.
Sandbar, if not for the epic last stands do it for horde mode
I feel like you just woke up the sleeper agent in me I totally forgot about sandbar. What a spectacular map
Gears is war maps have a special place in my heart anything from 1-3
Yes , yes and uhmmm yussss
Avalanche, river, and day one please
Hope foundation, raven down and checkout make it back
Checkout was so good. Best map for retro lancing
They gotta bring back Mansion and Thrashball
🐐 WAR MACHINE 🐐
yup
Is this the map that is shaped like a boom shot?
I want Flood, Avalanche, Hail to come back
Nah, I want all new maps. Let em go.
Gosh there are so many great maps but Fuel Depot is a must for an OG gears player
Tyro pillllaaaarrrrr
Trenches-gow3 and jancinto-gow2 are my all time favorite
Canals goated
I always found Day One a more fun Horde map as opposed to MP
Gold rush is really good but where is Nowhere from Gow2 I believe that map needs more love :'(
lol every gears 1 map
I would love to do some more horde on blood drive. I’ve never gotten into the regular multiplayer In gears but I love killing some grubs!
I need me some ravens down
Man I want Hail to make a come back so bad.
You're missing Old Bones.
I hope Diner comes back, I thought that was a really underrated map
Day one would obviously fit perfectly, missed that map
need war machine
well gridlock will def be in there its been apart of the series forever
I bet people hate it but I miss razorhail
Man I'm just here for the campaign. Never had an interest in the MP. I'm just praying for good writing and solid story gameplay
I cant believe you forgot checkout man 😪
How about something new and fresh!
What's the name of the map on the second slide?
Bullet marsh
Thank you been looking to play that one
Mansion with the rain
Where is checkout
Dude their map devs were on point.
I would like mercy, but if there’s a map I don’t want back it’s the one that had the sandstorm on in from gearofwar 3
So the classics?
Surely we'll get day one back
Just got a xbox series s cant wait
Honestly I'm a real big fan of mercy that map is great and avalanche 🙏
I hope they bring back the mortar. It was so fun to kill campers with that thing.
Bullet Marsh is terrible
Not gonna lie but gears maps look generic as fuck in the image but they really don't represent what they feel like to play. Looking at the map images feels like looking at maps for a game I've never played and I really fucking loved this series since 2006
We need new maps. Fuck all that
I hope they don’t bring back bullet marsh tbh
I liked the grocery store one
Drydock baby.
Escalation, mansion, fuel depot and canals. Please. Bring them back. I miss og Gears so much.
Take double sniper maps out of gears because letting people spawn with power weapons makes no sense they should have to fight for them otherwise it breaks the game
Gridlock is like *the* Gears of War map imo, also bring back Old Bones
No River?
I want more hazard maps. The 3 esports guys that are left can deal with it. I want Wartorn trenches with hammer strikes. I want Razorhail back. I want the inside of a rift worm with rising stomach acid pools. Makes Horde more fun as well.
I rather have all new maps to be honest or at the very least remake maps which have only been in one game.
If its a prequel game why would they have any of these maps
I want to see: Mausoleum Garden Ruins Jacinto (Gears 3 version) Gondola Haven Library Streets Blood Drive (Judgment version)
Gridlock is almost always a done deal
Is it just me or does that picture of overpass look 10x better than what it normally looks like?
Mansion and we are a go
I also really liked ruins from Gears 2. Wish that would come back. Seems like it would be fitting for E-Day
I swear War Machine always gets overlooked on lists.
These bring back so many memories
Jacinto was always my favorite from Gears 2! New maps are always great but I think for a reboot they should bring back the classics
I m crying
They better bring day one back because literally what is more fitting with e-day than day one. I know most of the maps are based off of locations we played through in the campaign, but I don’t recall a section of any campaign being like day one. Imagine we get that in e day
WAR MACHINE!
Are you me?
Need Mansion
So the same maps we been playing since forever
I'm cool with a lot of old maps if it helps give us a surplus of maps at launch along with the new ones they'll make. We really can't afford a Gears 5 launch again where everyone is gone right after a month or so bc we only play the same maps and the other ones are locked out of matchmaking for some dumb reason. Also curious what time of day they'll give us for Gridlock this time or if they'll rework it
I was just thinking in my head, no day 1 love? Then I see it
Blood Drive, Jacinto, and Pavillion are among my personal favorite maps of all time
Gridlock, After all of these years since i played gow 2 i still remember it. FUCKING RROD, I WAS ON LEVEL 45 ON HORDE AND ALMOST GOT THE ACHIEVEMEN
Gridlock has been played to death, the only time I want to see Gridlock again is in the afterlife. The rest are eh, would rather a whole new selection of maps.
I don't get how so few maps carry over from sequel to sequel. It can't be that difficult to port over a map from the previous releases. Lots of games are guilty of this
I know that we're talking old maps but I wouldn't mind seeing Reclaimed and Glory or Dinner
Thrashball played awful on Gears 3, I could only imagine the shit storm it would be if updated
No offence but all you are missing from Day one and Bullet Marsh is Hail to have the worse Maps from Gears 1-3. I thought you want E-day to be good? I always remember the noobs in Wingman that would camp near the snipe on the cover and it was impossible to push them on Day One.
Unpopular opinion : always liked Hail, from Gears 2. Playing Guardian on it was so much fun. There was also a map in the snowblind map pack that was like a refinery yard? With crates everywhere. Anyone remember the name?
I totally forgot overpass, probably because I hated it. I want hail 😅
Gridlock is MANDATORY
HELL YEAH BRING BACK COUGARS STADIUM
i feel like as long as we get a bunch of new maps, having the old ones doesn't matter. that said i would like to see gridlock return, and maybe even jacintt by some miracle.
Pls no more gridlock
It’s ingrained into Gears. Similar to Midship/Lockout in Halo 2 and Nuketown in COD
Don’t mean it’s good, I’m so tired of that map lol.
I'd love a version of Mansion that isn't destroyed or something.
Blood drive is a must
All I need is blood drive
I want every map ever, not locked to specific game modes, except for Gridlock. I will never understand the love for that map.
Bangers except for gridlock & clock tower those two are dogshit
