im in love with gears of war two but there is much i would like to me modified in the 3rd game of this saga. Im not sure what they have been cooking up so far but i have a few ideas that may be good for others gaming experiance.
Jack (the tool bot) is very useful in GOW 2 to help with machinery and other problems that are thrown at you through out the game though i think he isnt used to his full potential. Jack would be useful for one of three things. 1. As in diffrent game series an airstrike is sometimes a very useful way to get rid of enemies that use turrents to kill you. However the fact that the GOW game is set on the brink of humanity an airstrike by fighter planes are not really an option however in some sections of the game it would be useful for him to call in airstrikes using missile code and other weapons.2. Jacks capability to become invisible though a slow machine could be used as a great distraction for the locusts if hand to hand combat is not the best way to kill them. 3. Abit of a pipe dream of mine but the fact that Jack is a tool bot he could be a useful attack or defence bot if tricked out in the right way.
A few of my ideas for weapons and how to go about putting jack in the game without making it to easy: turrents would be an obvious choice ( maybe the spare guns ou find in the game could be put into jack. The boomers shiled is a useful defence mecanism and jack could double as one of them to act as an extra cover? maybe. Controlling jack may become useful for infeltration of locust strongholds and other camps with the help of a camera. Also his welding torch could be useful as a short range weapon and could be like the chainsaw on the COG rifle in the game. Adding Jack to the game may make the game a doddle so these are some suggestions to make it harder. Limit on bullets petrol and time you use him could all play a part in the game.
I have herd the COG rifle may be having a few changes with a saber insted of a chainsaw and a bayonet. Though these are rumours i think the best way to go to make the game play really diffrent is the addition to a harpoon to the cog rifle stringed together by rope. This would serve as a new weapon and tactical device. Brumaks and other large creatures would feel the full brunt of the force as the harpoon could be used to take down big enemies. Though there are many guns and many places you can get bullets the harpoon could serve as a back up just incase but would have an incredibly slow reload time to make the game fair. The harpoon could be a powerful way to move objects such as stone so it could fall on enemies or double as extra cover if need be and would make the game play more exciting because of the extra options. Also the grapple could be used to for example get on top of big monsters like brumaks to control them (this could include a chainsaw battle with the rider to fight for the brumak or use a series of buttons to get onto the brumak much like a good number of game series use now i.e God of war. THis addition would make you feel more control of your character and give you more options.
Tickers (the enemy that explodes in your face) could be a useful way to kill enemies if you were to produce your own. Under fire the enemy like you have a chance to kill them from a long range so it evens up the playing field slightly. However this could be used for other things also for example opening doors that jack cant (unsure about the details of this idea).
Another part of gears i dont understand is that you can comunicate with everyone when the misson lets you. Marcus being the one in charge should give orders to move his team mates because the amount of times Dom has stole my kill is ridiculous. Id like three simple orders. Fall back if its getting to hot, cover if i am moving and push forward for a more attacive approach. This would be good for diffrent game play also
Any comments on these ideas could be added on I am using these as a basic prefrence for ideas. Please do not slander my ideas as I am just making a statement if you do not like the ideas then just correct me. thanks
