It doesn’t suit gears of war if you ask me, especially in horde mode. I don’t get the point of this the only thing I can think of on why they implemented this system, is to be like other games where each character has a unique ability or skills. Truthfully I have quit games because of that happening. Most of the time it ends up with me being assigned the random character, while the person who switched at the last minute gets to use the character & thing is you can’t even change the character that you were randomly given because the match started. I mean there has even have instances where I am able to choose a character that I want to play as but then someone in the group chooses the same character that I choose to play as, at the last second before the match starts which forces one of us to be a random character without any say in the matter. I mean I hate that I can’t play as certain characters anymore do to this no duplication system.

This is a terrible idea if you ask me they should of just stuck with the class system 4 had if anything.

I agree with this I am stuck playing horde solo do to this.
