i could really imagine this as an rpg imagine the online coop like in raid form.

marcus:Command we need specs on the drops!
carmine:Hey if theres a helmet i need it my durability is low and i havent got much gold for repairs
d:yeah man i need to get a new dagger after this
m: why you never use it
d: yeah cos it only has plus 3 tear damage with a %15 chance for bleedout reduction on target and the damage is only like 21-26 using this on theron gaurds would be pointless
command:hey marcus thos specs you asked for well we would predict from previous raids here that theres a lot of high level snipers and a special helmet that has a target enhancement %37 theres also a lot of random loot
marcus: ok team move out
carmine: hold on ive gotta hotkey my sniper rifle

i wonder if it would be similar to the FC2 multiplayer, everytime you gain a rank you get to upgrade a weapon.

Sorry but you also require the badge of "Curb Stomping 2 with one" to gain the Level 7 Chainsaw

as for me it would 1. Chiansaw, Reload, Shoot, Being Badass

Hmmm... remember a couple of months ago when Cliffy said that the only thing he would do to the GoW is refine it.

I don't think that's going to fit too well to be honest... unless I can play as the Cole Train because he's in my party!

I'm just worried that if they went in that direction it would detract from all the explosive gore and visceral violence.

Would be nice, if done well. Would make the ranked matches mean more.
Or it would keep out everyone who wasn't playing on day 1. If everyone is high level with uber custom layouts and you are stuck with the basics you are toast. And if you only get xp for kills then you will never get up there with everyone else. Everyone should start equal and let skill not equipment or perks decide the winner.

Easy work-arounds for such a thing could be non-stat/equipment matches, or only limiting such elements to single player.

Considering the shift from pure exploration with action elements to a balance, to what appears to be much more action oriented (Deus Ex) perhaps this application of RPG elements would mean that Gears Of War might shift from relentless action to...something else. Only time will tell.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just that GoW is more likely to alienate (no pun intended) it's current fanbase than expand it. Whilst the rpg idea of an epic story would be a welcome addition I don't think that adding other rpg aspects will improve it much. As I said part GoW's strength is in the set pieces, not leveling up.

I think its a great idea. It would add some personality to your character, so instead of playing as marcus, you would be playing as YOUR marcus
