I know i'm gonna catch heat for this but what is a party system?

Gears is basically the only game I play on live so I am not familiar with it.

dsm ... a party system is where you and your friends can join together in a party and when you move from GP room to GP room it makes every attempt to keep you together and on the same team, etc.

In Halo 3, we would all join in a party (like 8+ of us) and then just hit the GP ... when we would get matched it would stick us all on the same team and only bounce someone off to even up the teams .

Probably not as important, IMO, for Gears since the rooms are small enough to almost always have enough AGErs to round up.

May be they will allow parties in Ranked games?

Someone may want to provide a better explanation of parties than I did, though.

<P mce_keep="true">OMG I can see Vcize dragging my sorry ass all around the map as a shield!! I'll for sure never get any kills now[]

<P mce_keep="true">i hate games with vehicles..i hope they don't put that stuff in multiplayer. It just makes the map too damn big, and you have campers sniping from across the map.

5v5 should be ok. Any more would ruin it.



There's a video of the designer talking about some of these things: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33955.html?type=

<P mce_keep="true">I lost interest with the first Gears MP. It became less about cover and flanking and more about racing to the power weapons and cheap shotgun/melee kills. It may have evolved since then, but that was my impression of what I left.

<P mce_keep="true">No longer invulnerable when performing executions, so make sure the coast is clear before going for that curb stomp.
<P mce_keep="true">Thats the shit

<P mce_keep="true">However, they have also said they will be taking an active role to avoid boosting, by only allowing one kill per weapon per match to count for the achievements
<P mce_keep="true">There goes AGE ranked.

There goes AGE ranked.

oh my, that'll put a serious damper on achievement whoring.
