Questions About OverRun?

Gears-of-War-Judgment-OverrunIn Episode 3 of the Epic Games Podcast, @Raczilla and I asked Epic Games Multiplayer Designer Quinn DelHoyo a few questions about Gears of War: Judgment’s OverRun mode.

Now it’s your turn! If you have any questions about OverRun, post them in this thread on the Epic Forums or in the comments below.

We’ll take a sampling of the questions and pose them to Quinn for our next podcast.

      on a scale of 1/10 how badass will overrun be?

      • Waiting to be amazed

        To me 1

    • http://twitter.com/PhoenixGarst Phoenix Garst

      How equal will the health System be? Will the cog have lots of health over the locust? or will it be pretty even?

    • Andre_gardner2001

      Will OverRun have more gameplay types WITHIN the game mode? 

    • Anonymous

      Why can’t you pick your character skin AND a class type, e.g: halo ability set (aware it’s not quite the same).

      les nouveaux évènement vont il servir pour la médaille onyx ??

    • Startenterselectupdown

      Yeah i have a question. Can anybody convince me that this wont be a complete piece of shit?

      • Otto Muniz

         LMAO!

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7CC7JAPDZPMNKPHDDHIRCU4UEQ DavidP

          i think it’s gow 3 with a spit n polish thats it..

          nothing really screams buy me NOW..

          sounds like saints row 3…. over hyped and over priced and only a few good things, but in short a bastardized version of it’s predecessor with crappy dlc..

          wake up and smell the coffee…

    • Pancakedude44

      CAN YOU UPGRADE YOUR CLASS KIND OF LIKE YOU COULD UPGRADE FORTIFICATIONS IN HORDE

    • http://twitter.com/Antonov_26 ApeshitshotgunR

      Any flying ops, like calling in a KR or Reaver?

    • Bestgowkills

      can you make a theatre mode where you can record clips and upload to youtube

    • http://twitter.com/Chunky_2336 Adrian Torres

      Will there be any other Characters from Gears of war be in overRun, like Marcus and Dizzy?

    • VeIkro

      Why is it like versus beast mode? It seems pretty, uneven.

    • Luizorvagem

      the only thing u would change in Multiplayer would be that when one team is with only one player, this player to kill a team’s opponent, resurrects one of your team allowing game face, and giving more excitement to the confrontation ale to innovate through multiplayer mode

    • Anonymous

      Will any Maps from previous Gears games appear in the Judgment multiplayer?

    • Db1416

      I understand how the locust win but how do the cog win? is there like a time limit?

    • Anonymous

      Will this game be 60 dollars? It looks just like gears 3 with a new
      game mode, please do not make this game 60 dollars quite a few gamers
      will be pissed…

      • Zombocalypse3D

        IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE GEARS OF WAR 3 U DUMBASS 

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7CC7JAPDZPMNKPHDDHIRCU4UEQ DavidP

          only the hud is different which can be done in any mode like horde and beast in gow3 or are you blind ?

          the cut scenes look different yes  cos they are using the bullet storm engine (thats what they feel like to me)  but the game play is still thrid person and the from the bits i’ve seen it is gears 3

          just cos it has a different name on it doesn’t mean it ain’t gears 3 with a new mode…

          don’t forget the alpha and zeta playlists had a semi auto longshot and hammerburst mods…IN GEARS 3 MP..

          • Waiting to be amazed

            Kinda sounds like Gears 3 is the Beta for Judgement

            • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7CC7JAPDZPMNKPHDDHIRCU4UEQ DavidP

              i mean cut scene wise the flow, movement and character style is VERY similar to bullet storm and lsn’t using the same in game graphics style  as gears 3 did..

          • Eyeh8dumpeepole

            First off, Bulletstorm graphics sucked…so no they arent using them. The graphics they have now are better than the gears 3 graphics. ALSO if you idiots would stop bitching about an awesome game you would notice that overrun is just the highlighted area of the game because its the newest thing they got.

          Relax bro did not mean to get you mad by posting a opinion over a ——*game*—–
          Notice how Gears 1 Gears 2 Gears 3 was all diffrent, as far as the moving and shooting and everything. This game and Gears of war 3 looks just like the way they did with the Call of duty series. Everything still feels the same but with different game modes and weapons. That was the point i was trying to get across.

    • Tyjay9

      will there be a beta?

    • Marlon

      Can we play againt the computer in offline?

    • Jacobskaro

      when does it come out

    • Vexta

      It seems like the Locust are extremely powerful, how will Baird have time to fix his fortification with all that’s going on for example. How do you take down the Mauler? How do you stop a Corpser who keeps on popping up and attacking the generator then going back down.

      Thanks for answering, apologies for it being elaborating :)

    • Waiting to be amazed

      Why is OverRun being shoved down our throats? is that all there is to the game?. I mean seriously guys come on, you want me to buy this game when gears 3 will be just over a little year old I want more than OverRun. Amaze me with something new not something that was apparently ripped from another game because currently I’m not sold.

    • The Crusher

      Quinn, after butchering most of the weapons in Gears of War 3 (Gorgon’s artificial spread, hammerburst’s lack of recoil/no headshots, and the sawed off itself), how do you plan to work out the weapons in GoWJ? Also:

      -Can you plant grenades?
      -Will executions have the same heavy focus as GoW3?
      -Wlll this game also use dedicated servers?
      -Will the spawns be addressed? (King of The Hill spawning two opposing teams together, one team spawning closer to the hill, one team spawning behind another team’s spawn, etc)
      -Are character hitboxes going to be the same?
      -Will there be a replay/theater mode?
      -Do we have to buy 70% of all gun skins again?
      -Will levels/exp be more meaningful or just a number?
      -Please tell me you’re not designing the maps again. We don’t need another Overpass, Sandbar, or beta version of Trenches.  

    • Genkill123

      I have a question when will u guys fix the shotgun like for real in tht video with the 5 vs 5 epic versus some guy in chuck i think the dude ate a point blank shotty an the guy chainsawed him wtf the epic havent u guy ls realize u need to fix ur shit first then u can do watever u want

    • Dr Rubber Bum

      Will you be able to run over things?
      Will you be able to take cover?
      Will you be able to shoot things in the game?
      Will there be a gun with a chainsaw attached to it?Will the female characters have stubble/beards?

    • Waiting to be amazed

      I actually have a legit question for Quinn, Will the Rank reset bug be fixed in Judgement?

    • OkamiDaemon

       i know this question is not about OverRun mode,  but i want to know if you gonna introduce in this new game the last of the Carmine´s brothers

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_7CC7JAPDZPMNKPHDDHIRCU4UEQ DavidP

        it’s a prequel….

        and having a ‘d’ carmine would imo seem a bit stupid with out the others so maybe have all four of as npc’s

    • HeyRalphyBoy

      Who else makes an appearance from previous gears games?

      • ProfessorDiablo

        EXACTLY. after playing gears 3 which had over 20 different cog characters, a lot of people are going to be really pissed when their favorite character isn’t there. this hype is still in the wake of gears 3, so Id better be blown away. Bigger and badder than gears 3? that bar is set pretty damn high.

    • http://twitter.com/Sh4dow70 Ali Sultan

      is there going to be sniper or theron guard in overun also is there going to be an option to change character for a class or is classes character specific?

    • http://twitter.com/Sh4dow70 Ali Sultan

      Is there going to be sawned off or retro in overun?

    • Modi

      Will the Sawed-Off Shotgun and/or Retro Lancer return in Gears of War Judgment?

    • ShiftyReptile

      My only question at the moment is, will I only be able to play as certain characters for certain classes in overrun? Or can any characters be any class? Cause game informer made it seem otherwise

    • http://twitter.com/Phantomzero17 Raymond Gonzales

      Are there going to be class limits?

    • http://twitter.com/Gearslvl100 Taylor Barrow (TB)

      Is the semi automatic sniper in mp or just overun?

    • http://twitter.com/Gearslvl100 Taylor Barrow (TB)

      Will there be classic controls?

    • http://twitter.com/Gearslvl100 Taylor Barrow (TB)

      Will the hammerburst in overun be the same in mp?

    • Dgrimm1ns4n1ty

      Why all the negative comment about this game? when i 1st heard about it i was stoked still am. sure i hated the sawed off but i learned to play around it same against the retro and hammy. it seems the peaple that bitch about a new gears games arnt really fans but trolls. w/e i cant wait sure i kinda worry that it might be rushed but gears is and always will be my favorite game.

      now for my question. is overrun going to be the only new game mode. and will the classes featured in it be availble in other game modes?

    • http://twitter.com/Gearslvl100 Taylor Barrow (TB)

      Is overun 5v5?

    • Pillotai

      quisiera saber si seguira el mismo multijujador y ademas si este juego va a haber beta y cuando empezara y como la podremos obtener

    • Omarwielander

      Will there be bots on both sides that help you out in overrun cause that would be a awesome

    • http://twitter.com/JorgeOzzy666 Jorge Ceballos

      The horde mode will disappeared?
      Will there be another characters to play in OverRun or Only Baird, Cole, the medic, and the sniper?
      In overRun will be there waves like in horde (50), or like beast mode (12)???

    • Anonymous

      2 part q. will there be a beta for judgment? will there be gold skins

    • israel espinosa uscanga

    • Chaosstevemaniac

      only one question will all player be able to wallbounce and pre active and do anything to win?

    • Elive14

      I hope the story  is good and does not disappoint because the truth in the gears of war 3 had to be large,just very poor history

    • TheGrub87

      Have you finally fix the reset issue? or are you gonna get reset for no reason in this game too? and I said YOU because I am not buying this game. Another question Why are you making another game when GOW3 has soooo many issues??? and my last question Are we getting another DLC for GOW3? We are missing Skorge Classic Tai a new Myrrah. To be honest you owe us that much !

    • Dimola91490

      i loe the gears universe…..everytyhing about it….but why is over run being shoved down our throats…..wat about multiplayer like king of the hill or tdm…thats what most people play not horde or beast unless youre trying to get a ribbon or metal…so whats changing in that area?????

    • Fuzzywhite80

      will there be a beta for gears of war judgment??

    • wikywiky

      en el nuevo gears habra servidores dedicados y que funcionen? logros que no se traben y sean desbloquebles?, el reinicio de tu numero por falla de un sistema?, partidas mas valanceadas?, y si le daran mas tiempo a actulizar la informacion de los eventos?

    • Berserkersg949

      i think this game will not sell much because people still want to Gow 3. 

    • Silent Dragon14

      i really think you gus should not change the controll or at least give us a controll option like to use the new ones or the old controlls that would be good. i dont like the new controlls and how they sound.

    • Silent Dragon14

      if the game has the option to switch to the traditional GoW control scheme the i would love it. and alot of people would too

    • Kswinhoven

      Is GOWJ still going to have a classic gamemode wheere you can just play regular guardian and not have to use any classes?

    • Gears of dwarfs lol XD

      Will there be the option to change your controler scheme back to the old controler shceme?

    • Chris

      Are you going to find a balance between gears 1/2 game play which i loved. And gears 3 with is dull retro infested camp fest, With dull boring campy maps where you can control the entire map from 1 position ??

      I played the entire gears 3 beta and loved it ,If the gears 3 beta had the retro as it currently is i wouldnt of bothered buying gears 3. And i wont be buying gears j untill im sure there have been positive changes and some serious thought into weapon balancing 

      ^^If you do manage to do those things mentioned above i would like ranked to be sort f like gears 1 where some body hosts a room you can see the connection where the host is from ,Then choose to join our not rarther than being matched with laggy french spanish ppl constantly …

      Epic learn from your mistakes for a change …

      • Jazzcat

        I’m sure they are doing their best and are taking comments like these into consideration, if you would just stick to the point. Who cares if You wont buy the game, its not like you are speaking for the rest of all the Epic gamers. And what are you even saying in that last column? …

    • Davidguzman777

      Buenas

      Estoy muy preocupado llevo muchos meses jugando Gears of War 2 para llegar a ser Veterano en Multijugador resulta que el día de hoy Junio 25 a la 1 PM hora de Costa Rica estaba jugando y de pronto la conexión se pego hasta acabar con nuestra partida (igualada de horda) cuando volvi a inicar la secióny me encuentro con la sorpresa que mi nivel de experiencia se había perdido yo estaba en el nivel 77 ahora son 1 esto no me puede estar pasando ya que compito con 5 amigos por ser el primero en llegar ademas de que este es mi estatus en linea para demostrar mis habilidades como jugador, contactando con Victor de soporte de X-Box live investigaron el problema y encontraron el problema en uno de los servidores de Epic por favor como cliente necesito toda la compresión del caso y la colaboración resolviendome el problema. De antemano les agradesco toda la ayuda que me puedan brindar.

      Saludos cordiales

    • Greghapdew

      Will the multiplayer only be OverRun or will there still be TDM and KOTH. Also is Judgment going to make the horde an actual Horde. Because in gears 2 and 3 it seemed like the locust/lambent were more grouped into small squads instead of wave upon wave upon wave. Although in gears 3 they had several missions where you had to really just survive and hold the line. I’m just wondering if judgment will have more of that
