Salutations once more Gears community. Today I'd like to share something I really want to make a comeback in Gears of War 6 or hell maybe even E-Day...
I'd personally love to see the return of Two Game modes from the final installments of Epic Games line up of Gears of war. These being:
- Beast Mode (Gears of War 3)
- Overrun (Gears of War Judgement)
These game modes are distinctively unique spins on the iconic Horde mode each offering something unique.
Beast mode allowed the player to take on the side of the Locust horde against AI of Stranded, Gears and Onyx Guards. After each successful round it would progressively become more difficult. The player could play from a Ticker all the way up to a Locust Berserker or Corpser(mini).
Overrun was a Beast mode/Horde mode combo. Player's was able to follow the same beast mode concept for the Locust team but with vastly less units limited only to:
-Ticker
-Wretch
-Grenadier
-Kantus
-Rager
-Serapede
-Mauler
-Corpser
The cog was a team of humans with some basic special abilities like in newer games just with a fixed load out.
-Scout
-Medic
-Soldier
-Engineer
These was unfortunately the only classes and due to player counts there would often be duplicates of certain classes. But a fun PVP experience nonetheless, however the game had an objective, "Defend the E-Hole cover" or "Destroy the E-Hole cover" all 2 cover's and the final generator was required to be destroyed for the Locust to win the match. The cog simply had to defend these points for around 5-6 minutes at a time and would fall back if the first two points was destroyed.
Nonetheless these two game modes was very fun for lil old me and I'm sure for many of you as well I'd love to see what you guys think of them also!
It would be so cool to get to play as Swarm units like the Pouncer or the Warden in a beast concept! Considering the groundwork was laid out for in the story of Gears 5 It's a shame we never got a expansion of that or maybe even a spin on Escape where Swarm players have to stop the hive busters from escaping the hive!
That's all from me for now, tryna get back into discussing gears again so feel free to get involved or send me a text, have a good day/night y'all!

Since E-Day is , I have a feeling Overrun might be the best option, cuz y’know it’s the start of the Locust Horde through the surface of Sera,
and maybe Beast mode can have General RAAM be playable as well
I agree! Overrun was one of the best things Judgement gave us and it actually makes perfect sense, The locust horde in full swing at you while you've gotta defend a location.
They could do so much with overrun, expand it bigger than ever with Reavers and Brumaks. RAAM leading the charge maybe when he dies another player randomly becomes him? Allow the cog to use Centaurs and call in Raven . A full on war game mode with a core objective just sounds amazing to me. The cog army at its strongest Vs the locust at their toughest.
