Do what you want with the campaign, take risks there, shake things up, to freshen the game up a little.
But multiplayer I want to feel like the 5 but with refinements/improvements where they can be added/implemented.
Also for the love of god, get rid of "wrap shots" they look stupid, as the shot comes from the centre of your screen and not your gun.
Not only does it look stupid, it isn't good for spectators (then again hyperbouncers make spectating gears eSports rough, it's different when you're playing yourself though, love playing the game, not watching it)
But also every encounter turns into wrap shots or up a's to counter, it takes away the fun of the duel.
(Plus if you're a newer player getting killed by it, you're just going to think the game is buggy/laggy, or the other person is cheating & drop the game)
As you get killed at a stupid angle whilst the other dude has there back to you running away :')
Also carry over, how the gears 5 store ended up, they nailed it in the end, where you can pay for premium cosmetics, but a week later you can unlock them with in game currency for free.
Gears 5 had a lot off cool unlocks and felt rewarding to play (till they killed the rank system and changed it to competitive)
I use to enjoy getting masters rank every season on every mode if possible, but then they changed it so only the top 1000 players would get the cosmetic skins, I dropped the game then, as I didn't play enough to unlock them.
Bit off a wall off text, that won't interest many.
