The third title in the Gears of War series is likely [http://www.vgreleases.com/Xbox360/ReleaseDate-78212.aspx] to be released some time at the end of this year and I'm fairly excited for it already. I managed to sink a lot of time into the first game although unfortunately the second didn't manage to hold my attention for long. I'm still a pretty big fan of the series though and am looking forward to the third title with a healthy dose of glee and excitement. There might not be a third game, it hasn't officially been announced, but I doubt that Epic would just drop the franchise like that.

Anyway, what do you folks that want to play Gears 3 want from it?

Me, I want them to get rid of the terrible matchmaking system they had in number two or at the very least increase to the quality of MW2 and the Halo games. That thing should never have been released in it's original state. I'd also like for them to get rid of those knock back/knock down smoke grenades. Seemed like a really cheap method for getting kills and while you could dodge em, that usually meant getting out from cover which usually ain't too bright.

I'd also like for people to select casual games from a list like in the first game, rather than casual games being regulated to people off your friends list. Being able to host a casual match and allow for strangers to join it seems to be a rare thing on many modern console games and it is a damn shame. Sure, you can get a game with just your friends going but they can be a hassle to get started and when people start leaving they can be hard to stock back up. You also don't meet any new people that way.

I can't think of anything I want in the new campaign except for maybe the standard sequel changes like new guns, enemies, characters etc. I hope that this Carmine gets a more dignified death but I doubt that will happen.

Yeah, so anyway, what do you folks want?

A better story and characters I actually like.
To avoid fanboy rage, yes I like the games. But the story is predictable and the only character I come CLOSE to liking is Baird, and that's because it looks like Cid from FF7.

An epic and challenging last boss after that last 'boss' in the second game.

For Dom to get over his death wish.

Gears 2 on insane was maddening due to his suicidal tendencies... I mean come on, dude, I know your
wife died
and all, but goddamn I'm sick of watching you run into mortar fire...

For Cliffy B to actually give a shit about Aussie games, he basically said "fuck you" to them on the Epic forums.
Heh, well fuck him too. I'm guessing that has something to do with searching matches by region?

Yeah, it seemed strange to make RAAM insanely difficult (on Insane anyway) and then make that mutated Brumak easier to kill than everything else. I suppose that other dude was supposed to be the boss but he was pretty easy as well.

Like the ability to turn off the gore you should be able to turn off the grunting. Replace it with fan girl squeals or lines of poetry.

Never! Gears just wouldn't be as much fun without all the homoerotic grunting!

I think they should add extra grunts, like when Marcus reloads... 'HUURGGH!! RE-HURGH_LOADING'

Or when Dom stands motionless as you lie dying next to him he can go 'HHHOOUUUARRGHH' so as to imply 'sorry Marcus, I'm otherwise engaged right now and would rather not revive you'.

Hell, I think they should even get Anya in on the grunting..'Marcus? It's HUURRRGH about your father.. HOOAARGHHH!... he was the one who RAAARGH created the locust!' (that's my theory on what happens in GOW3)

HUUURGH!

Fucking working and balanced Multiplayer.
I have never gotten more frustrated at a game before.

anyhoo I love the single player and I cant wait for them to continue the story.
Some more refined chainsaw duels might help.

For it not to exist.

Go back to making Unreal Tournament games.
This is so true, I think I've had enough GoW for one decade.
