Gears of War: E-Dayis a highly anticipated release. The series has always been known for its intense combat and engaging storylines in the single-player, and some fun and tactical matches in the multiplayer.
But now, fans are calling for a new feature: the ability to create and customize their own gear and characters for multiplayer mode. This idea is gaining traction, especially when considering the success and appeal of similar features in other games, likeWarhammer 40K: Space Marine 2.
Gear Customization In Gears of War: E-Day Could Be Great
A user on the r/GearsofWar subreddit shared their thoughts on the game giving players the ability to customize their gear, such as with different armor for different body parts. Instead of full-body gear sets,being able to customize individual parts, and mix and match them would provide for a greater level of personality and customization.
The suggestion is to take this a step further inGears of War:E-Day, giving players even more control over their Gear’s appearance. Customization is a significant part of modern gaming, especially more so in multiplayer games. It allows players to create a character that represents them, and sometimes players just want to look unique and stand out.
According to the OP, games likeHalo: Reach,and even the most recentHalo: Infinitehave implemented this successfully, allowing players to mix and match different armor combinations, helmets, and colors.

However, some players argue against this idea, preferring to keep the same vibe in multiplayer. They worry that too much customization could lead to a loss of the game’s unique identity. They also express concerns about the possibility of seeing unrealistic or silly-looking characters in the game, if there’s too much freedom with color customization.
These are valid points, but there’s a middle ground here, and a balance can easily be achieved.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 Will Have Individual Armor Customization
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2is shaping up to be the perfect example of how to balance customization with maintaining the game’s essence. In the game, players can engage in battles with different classes, each offering unique gameplay experiences and strategies.
The customization options are extensive, allowing players to change individual armor pieces, such as gauntlets, helms, and breastplates. They can also adjust the color schemes and heraldry of their armor, and create a look that feels personal while still fitting within the game’s massive universe.

The customization inSpace Marine 2showswhatE-Daycould achieve. The type of armor a character wears affects their weapons, equipment, and skills. This also adds a strategic layer to customization. Players can unlock and swap different armor components, creating various faction armors with distinct colors and styles.
This level of detail is whatGearsfans are hoping for, and it would make sense as the next step in the evolution of the multiplayer experience.
In previous interviews, the developers ofSpace Marine 2have talked about the importance of giving players freedom in how they want to play and look. This approach can easily be applied toE-Day.
Offering a range of customization options for the Gear’s armor and accessories, without making it an RPG-style character creator, would very easily satisfy both sides of the debate.
