The Future
This is mostly for EA and PopCap to see as I want to see a new PvZ shooter in the future, and I know I'm not the only one. Things look bleak for our beloved shooter series right now. BfN hitting a b...

@Iron_Guard8I would love a gw3 to go back to the older style of 1&2 yet be in devlopment for several years, focus on day 1 and dont give us roadmap bs, extra appeal by having all the previous maps back with bot support, all gamemodes already working at full capability alongside some new ones with gnomes maybe, a proper game on launch (especially pc), and get actual marketing this time then honestly I don't care what Popcap does with the rest of the game in terms of pve or artstyle.
Imo its going to be hard to top gw2 in terms of playability and options for a gw3.
@stukapooka I know a lot of us were hoping for basically more GW when we knew they were working on a new shooter all the way back in 2016, evena s GW2 was still getting updates. New characters, new variants, new maps, and so on. I don't think many of us wanted anything drastically different from what GW 1 and 2 gave us, but mostly little improvements; better customization UI (GW2's was awful), a more robust backyard battleground (more quests, more stuff to do in general, more places for decorations), the ability to save builds/costumes and so on. To be fair, BfN did improve a couple of things (like the customization UI and the ability to save builds/costumes), but fell short in other ways.
If they take the best of the current PvZ shooters and improve upon them, the game could be amazing. I really want to play the old GW maps for example, but as you can't play bot matches, and the game is 6 years old, it's hard to get games in. If it added crossplay and anti-cheat and gave us solid, fun game play, it would be exactly what people have been asking for.
- @Iron_Guard8 I agree in thinking that all that mostly everyone wanted was an improvement upon gw2 that would iron out its flaws and bring maps back.
Yeah when they announced walnut hills was coming back I was really excited until I learned there would be no bot support (I was fine with og classes only tbh), I think Krook said it best in that if wallnut hills was going to lazily be cut and paste into gw2 then there was no excuse to not add the other maps in anyway even if new feautures wouldnt be available like graveyard ops or bots as gw1 nowadays is just mlg foot soldier gods against bunnyhopping peashooter.
If gw3 presented itself in a end to the trilogy fashion gameplay wise in the style of having all maps and characters to play it could work pretty well if the launch and advertising is good imo.If GW3 comes, I want 32v32 modes.
