Here is why Gears 5's Horde represents the best that Horde has ever been. RELATED: Gears 5 Has A Bunch of Hamilton Easter Eggs These features return for Gears 5, but the class system is expanded on to be more meaningful, and there are other changes as well to ensure that Gears 5's Horde is the definitive way to experience the wave-based game mode. Horde 3.0, for the uninitiated, added a class system and had players move the special Fabricator box around the map so that they could pick exactly where they would be defending from in any given game. Gears 5's Horde is very similar to Horde 3.0 introduced in Gears of War 4. However, Gears 5's version of Horde is a step above the previous iterations of the mode, and it's really the best Horde has ever been.
The mode's popularity has seen it appear in every main series Gears of War game yet, and Gears 5 is no different.
Gears of War 2's Horde Mode was hugely popular and influential, with many shooters following suit and adding their own modes where players had to defend against waves of increasingly powerful enemies.
