@badboidre so far I've mainly been playing the campaign and as someone who has played all gears games with the exception of tactics. They've nailed it(in my opinion at least.). I can confirm that they have executions. As for grenade tagging, meat shields, and chainsaw fuels while they are not in the game currently the coalition has confirmed that they might add them in the future. The reason why they weren't added at launch is because they built eday from the ground up. Meaning that they didn't use any assets from previous games. Sadly no roadie running though, that sadly I'm going to have to get used to.
Personally I'd say make a version of destiny 1 that doesn't require online play. Say destiny 1 with just the story + dlc story nodes, and patrols. You know the stuff that doesn't require Xbox live gold. That could be a good start. Personally I have no hope left for d2. I left when they introduced prismatic and while I have tried playing a few times since then I simply can't get back into d2. As a destiny fan I'd love a single player offline destiny game. Something that could stand the test of time(aka something that would always be playable as long as you owned the game or had it downloaded.).
@badboidre yeah it was very obvious in the betas basic training instead of roadie running you did a very generic sprint animation that honestly looked down right silly to me with no weapon equipped. No grenade tagging I tried. Same with meatshields. They kinda have executions in the new horde mode. The locust can come up to you while down and start pummeling you. Ally can come and perform a little shanking(stab a knife into their neck) animation to get them off you. To be fair I only played the horde mode and basic training in the beta they could maybe add meat shields and grenade tagging in the final release. Assuming replies are still possible I'll post another reply to update you on launch. If it weren't for story involving e-day and featuring Dom and Marcus I honestly would be just fine skipping this game.
For me while I will be getting eday for the campaign and horde mode I don't think I'll be getting another gears of war game after eday. Why well because as someone who has played gears since the original on Xbox 360 it feels like the coalition has removed gears of wars heart and soul from eday to turn it into another generic shooter. They removed too many things that were iconic (and/or unique) to gears. For example they removed roadie running, grenade tagging, meat shields, and executions. They're could be more, but that's what stood out to me in the beta.

Ps. Sorry for the late response.
