i dont like this idea at all

Yeah, I'm not sure about that idea either. A F2P entry in a big series devalues the series and makes it less likely that people will buy the main entries in the series. I have the same problem with the F2P Halo game, if it were to be made available worldwide, PC gamers that like Halo would have little incentive to buy an Xbox One to get Halo:MCC and Halo 5, hopefully it'll stay Russia only.

F2P is fine for smaller series and new IP's, especially in certain genre's like MOBA's, MMO's, and card games, but I don't think F2P works for established, popular series.

Maybe you are right, look what happened to Killer instinct it totally failed =p.

FIFA, as I'm sick of Japanese games in this thread, so therefore they all must perish.

Killer Instinct isn't realy F2P though. You only get one character so it's more of a trial of the game than it being F2P.

Well that was my point a minimal gears of war MP for free with monthly (free/paid)updates( till Gears of war 4).

lol no, but fighting games are completely different than shooters.

And as said, its not really FTP.  That type of system will work in RPG's, Mobas, and Fighting games where characters are individual and unique

The Forza Horizon 2 updates are the most annoying... Game updates like once a week, huge file too.

Oh yeah, this just reminded me that for an F2P Gears selling characters would be the only real way to go and considering it's just a cosmetic change I can't really see many people willing to pay for it when they can just play for free.

Selling map packs would just screw up the game, chances are many people would just want to play it free so would ignore the map packs and only play on the free maps. Then the DLC maps would have significantly less people to play with and matchmaking would take longer, which then further reduces the incentive to actually pay for those maps.

Characters and map packs would be in the 50€ for Gears pro. The free updates are like modes/small things. 

Also don't understand the complaint? Gears of war 2/3 had a ton of map packs, don't think many of us gears gamers were annoyed by it. in fact gears of war 2 before the map packs had more matchmaking issues :s

It wouldn't be Gears Anniversary. Our title should read Gears or War Remastered right? Well if it comes out this year which I doubt. Unless it's available immediately. That would be a great announcement and may see the sales pick up immediately. That would be great.
