Gears of War: E-Day might be far from its release date, but this hasn’t stopped enthusiastic fans from voicing their opinions online about what they want to see in the game. From weapons to game modes, netizens have a suggestion for just about everything. However, The Coalition must take one piece of advice seriously and consider adding a specific game mode.

The upcoming title might be the perfect opportunity for The Coalition to add a game mode where two large teams compete on a big map. That said, given that it could be a 10v10 game mode, it will make Lancer a nightmare with everyone spamming it.

Since the story of E-Day will take place 14 years before the first Gears of War game, it will feature the original Lancer, also known as the Retro Lancer. While the later games in the series upgraded the weapon various times, the original Retro Lancer was appropriately powerful for the emergency day period.

A Reddit user, u/Digbickbandit00, has posted a thread expressing the changes that fans would like to see in the upcoming game. One of the highlights of the thread is the introduction of larger game modes. The recent Gears of War games have not featured such a mode, so bringing a 10v10 mode will only boost the chaos.

One thing to note is that adding such a mode will make Lancer the most coveted weapon and stop the shotgun spam we usually see. Given that Lancer is the default assault rifle, it is likely to be used more in team battle mode.

Few users pointed out that replacing one spam weapon with another isn’t the way to go. Reddit user u/lilsasuke4 commented that getting caught in a crossfire of Lancer from 10 players won’t be fun.

Why Gears of War: E-Day is Going to Bring Back Glory to the Franchise

Amidst all the fans’ expectations and demands regarding the upcoming game, one thing is for sure: E-Day will be one of The Coalition’s best games. The teaser shown at the Xbox Showcase has already generated a lot of hype, proving this is precisely what the franchise needed.

The game will focus on an emergency day and what it felt like to stand in front of doom, which would soon engulf the world in chaos. Players will also get to see the inception of Locust Horde and the destruction they bring.

The game will focus on the back story of fan favorites Marcus and Dom. We have seen them in several other games, but for the first time, players will live their younger days and experience their budding chemistry.
