Always liked the average helmeted COG soldier the best and always used them in Multi P modes as much as possible...just a faceless, nameless soldier kickin' ass.
Love these moments in games when we see the whole military actually doing something other than lying in a pool of their own blood. Makes me feel like I'm part of a war and not a superhero with a gun.
Gears 1 had the best atmosphere, Gears 2 had the best plot, and Gears 3 had the best gameplay. All gems, though I gotta say playing Gears 1 as a 6 year old when it came out gave me some gnarly nightmares (Belly of the Beast, iykyk)
I 100% agree with you on that. When I first heard Prescott's speech, I got so hyped up that I gave him the Hoorahs along with the troops who have heard his speech as well.
You gotta wonder the kind of mindset it put all the troops in though. Most of these guys were conscripts, fresh recruits, young cadets, etc. and Prescott made them feel like they would all come home as war heroes. In reality he was sending a bunch of inexperienced soldiers into the meat grinder. Sure his speech served to motivate the hell out of the Gears, but his rhetoric had to have resulted in a lot of casualties. Bear in mind, the life expectancy for a regular Joe was slim as all hell during the Locust war, so there weren't many veterans left by this time. Then, considering the casualties the COG took from the Lightmass offensive, morale had to have sunk to rock bottom (pun intended) by that point. Come Hollow Storm, you have a bunch of trigger-happy cowboys drilling deep into the inner hollow with no armor or air support, no way to contact high command, and with literally one order: kill anything that moves. The hollows were unmapped, the troops were ill-equipped, and the chain of command had to have been in complete disarray for the first few hours underground. As much of a badass effort Hollow Storm was, it was only a Pyrrhic victory for the COG in the end. There's no telling how many troops died as a result of poor planning and a lack of communication. It wouldn't surprise me if there were still some troops fighting in the inner hollow by the time Jacinto sank to be honest.
I’d give anything for a Gears version of the Master Chief Collection, would love to see Gears return to the locust war after Gears 6, there’s so much untouched lore
@@pirriu Don't know how much effort they would give for the Gears games but yeah an MCC treatment is worthwhile since lots of people love Horde mode and some of the multiplayer.
It'll come. I don't remember the guys name but a head figure in those kind of decisions/projects stated something along the line of "we are really grinding our gears on this new collection, although I can't tell you what it is". So I mean, obviously.
@@woadblue It would be insane if gears 2-3 get the ultimate edition treatment. But I'd be fine with them looking like this just more updated as well. And also having the entire collection on PC would be nice.
@@Veachie Hiding New Hope is a remarkably dumb reason to put your species at risk as for Nexus they didn't seem to know where it is when Hollow Storm started either.
They couldn't regroup and rally for 15 years. The Locust pop up anywhere besides the Jacinto area, so once they gather their strength they can push from there. The Lightmass bomb fucked the Locust up and hurt their infrastructure, which I imagine the COG sees as the Locust being on the backfoot when really, they're more than likely dealing with the lambent infestation. There's tons of hints in this game that there's more going on than the Locust losing to humanity and the tide being turned. Game 3 verifies that with both the Locust and the COG being on the run and barely scraping by in the face of the Lambent hordes.
@@salsaniggas8544 I think the main factors are having no idea where exactly the Locust live underground hence mapping the tunnels in GoW1. Then possibly having to develop the grindlifts to get the Gears underground. I imagine creating a drop pod that digs through vast distances of rock and earth would be difficult especially given the resources at hand.
In all of the Gears franchise, this is my favorite mission of any of the games because it shows humanities fight for survival hit its peak with the largest offensive in Seran history with the assault on Landown. The speech was perfect in showing the courage and tenacity of the Human species, especially after fighting the Pendulum Wars. Plus we got to meet Dizzy in this mission and that's what matters!
I remember this part of the mission Tbh i kinda feel sad about this operation, most of them didnt even make it to landown and only a handful managed to get inside to the locust base. On top of that some of them also didnt survive after landing inside the locust base and if they did, they probably wouldnt make it back up again, lives lost but at what cost :(( Rip Cog soldiers that fought during Operation Hollow Storm
@@aaronkenyon7112 yeah if im not wrong most of them got captured and turned to brainless slave (as in they broke the cog's soldier mentality to the point where they just cant think for themselves).
@@notdando Based on the state Dom found Maria in, it's not much of a stretch to think that. Tai just mustered enough brain power to blow his own head off

Man, so many memories. School, fights, hanging around the neighborhood, and waiting for friday (or holidays) to reunite with my friend Alex to play GOW 2. I loved the lore, checked out the rumors about the plot and the sequel, and the characters.
I'm way late to this post but I also had a older best friend named Alex. I think it was around or a bit after Gears of War 3 he enlisted in the Marines like his older brother.I miss them both. I was the youngest in that friend group. We played every Gears up to Gears 3 together.I have a lot of memories of him and his friends teaching me how to play I hold those memories very close to my heart. Gears of War brought a lot of my friends together.I even had a LAN party for my 18th birthday 4 VRs 4 on crts T.V.s I hope Gears comes back with the vengeance on Gears 6.I'm running through the older games on hardcore/insane right now. I love this series to bits!For the COG! 😁
Logistically, the Hollow Storm operation doesn't make sense, you're literally dropping infantries deep in the crust with only their standard issue kit and equipment and them alone, as there's no way for armor to get through; not to mention blind. They didn't even consider the logistical nightmare of trying to sustain the forces deep in the hollow, so no supplies once they're deep within hell, not like they are expected to survive anyway. Freaking love this game, will probably keep it in my pc for a while.
The COG already obliterated most of humanity with the Hammer of Dawn. They're more than willing to spend lives on poorly planned assaults because they're desperate and they need major shows of military strength to project their power to the rest of humanity. Greed and selfishness and a desire to come out on top never left humanity or the COG, and that hubris is the COG's ultimate downfall. There's no victory in Hollow Storm, no victory in sinking Jacinto, just another disaster in a long string of disasters that responds to failure with spite. The COG's strategies might suck, but they'll fuck you up and drag you down with them.
@Nelsondfg2 it was a hail Mary. They couldn't defend Jacinto forever because of the rift worm. They basically threw everything they could muster in a short time and threw it into the battle. Gears of war 2 was basically all or nothing. Gears of war 3 is basically: we threw everything we could into thr fight... but it wasn't enough
I remember managing to keep the extra cog gears alive that were on your rig. it sucks though since they were really scripted to die, because when dizzy crashed they flew off the rig XD
I love the subtle hint as to Tai's fate here. Marcus: Tai is as tough as a Brumak. Earlier.... Brumak gets face fucked by Centaur. SKORGE bisects a Centaur. SKORGE goes at Tai. Yeah; Tai was fucked from the beginning.
Gears 1 (2006) not the ugly Ultimate Edition is the best. Gears 2 is better than 4 and forward, but Gears 1 is objectively the best, with Gears 3 beating 2 by multiplayer alone.
Currently replaying them all in order with my brother... Bad news boys, Gears 2 is a fever dream. Barely makes ANY sense, and half of it is only held together by the later games trying to re-interpret it into stuff that *actually* makes sense. Remember, Gears 2 straight up *LIED* about how old the Locust were. Replay the games. Take off the nostalgia goggles. Gears 2 actually might be *objectively* the *worst* story of all the Gears games. And that *includes* Tactics and Judgement. Remember that Judgement is only the red-headed stepchild of the franchise because it ruined the *mechanics* by trying to meta-chase other popular controller layouts and gameplay mechanics. Play Judgement and tune out EVERYTHING EXCEPT the actual *events* of the campaign, such as the dialogue, plot, and general combat encounters, and you'll realize that it doesn't really do that much to tarnish Gears' continuity. Unlike Gears 2... which feels INSANE to say after all these years of Gears 2 being my favorite of the franchise.
They will turn all the blood into jelly make the Hollow and New Hope really bright,and the gun shots will sound like they are from Fortnite believe is better this way
Honestly I agree. I like the dark, grainy look of the older GOW games. I feel like if it was remastered in 4K it would be too sharp and vibrant and wouldn't have that same look. Some games simply don't need a remaster
They shrunk the scale of things, so while everything feels more immediate amd personal it doesn't quite feel like all of humanity is on the line... Yet
I've always thought Chairman Prescott didnt deserve the crap the characters give him in 3. True, he knew about Azura and everything about Azura sucks. But Prescott stayed with the COG and the survivors for years. He only left in Coalition's End (the book) after it was clear the people just didnt trust him anymore, and he left reluctantly in hopes Adam Fenix can stop the Lambent. I think he was a better man than he's given credit.
He could've told everyone about the lambent way earlier and potentially activated the weapon that destroyed impulsion, lambent and the locust (temporarily). He decided not to do this just to stop the people from freaking out over the lambent and presumably to keep a monopoly over imulsion, leading to millions of unnecessary deaths.
@@praveeshachapman677 Adam Fenix was already working on that weapon before Prescott even knew, there was just never time to finish it or get it right Even in 3 the thing wasn't finished how he wanted it to be, it was just good enough to take out The Lambent
@@praveeshachapman677 imagine going to your army of broken veterans and inexperienced recruits just to tell them there's a worse threat than the unending horde of genocidal inhuman monsters, whom they can barely hold off from a single city
you now i liked dizzy the moment he went and fought scorge all by himself to cover marcus and dom he was one of my favorite characters second to ben carmine
my friend, i am 2 years late but search up 'Xenia Canary", it is an emulator that will allow you to play 360 titles. Ive played gears 1 2 3 and judgement, all on pc with a controller connected.
Still one of the best campaigns in any game ever. This is like only one of a handful of shooters that made you feel like you’re part of an actual war. An epic experience I’ll never forget
I know it is just a video game. I that speech gave me bonafide goosebumps. Still moving enough to get my attention even now. Oh yeah, great game also enjoyed it lots. ✌️
For the next game, I'm kinda hoping that it will be a prequel concerning the Immulsion wars. I found fighting the UIR soldiers a whole different setting than I did with Locusts, the sense that the battle is between Man vs Man at their most vicious state, not out of a sense of survival but out of a sense of dominance.
The idea of fighting UIR soldiers is kinda bland in my opinion. If I want a man vs man war, I go to COD or battlefield. I'd rather play a gears prequel that explains why Marcus went to jail instead of the Pendulum Wars.
@@denisofGOW I can understand your POV but the Immulsion wars were just a step down than the Locust and Lambent wars in level of brutality. Tai's tribal home village was slaughtered to the last child because they were simply in the way of the UIR's advance
@@electroeel148 Yeah, the UIR and the COG were brutal during the pendulum wars, but the locusts are 100x more brutal. Just think about it: if a gears about pendulum wars was made, you'd go from fighting grubs, corpsers, brumaks and reavers to a simple man vs man conflict. I think that would be a downgrade. A gears game without locusts Is like a Halo without the covenant. Or a doom without the demons. It would just feel weird and bland for me.
Gears of war . One of the front runners for exceptional games on 360 . Sad to see that gears 5 is dead when the franchise is super unique and extremely fun . I hope gears 6 revitalizes the game
people dont understand but after beating gears one were locust were sacry , hard to kill MF were fighting for our own survival was hard enought , Going to them in gears 2 was so heroic and so ballsy
This is why they should return to their roots and stop the whole rainbows and sunny colored shit that is GoW 4 and up. this theme and feel. Dark, hopeless, desperate is what made gears gears
Ehh idk when the past 3 last games including the one with Bard and Cole is all about grimdark you're really mad when it's not that grimdark but what's bugging me and what I don't understand is how are the Gears the bad guys in the story part 4.
It bothered me a little bit when you didn't throw grenades inside most of the emergence holes but I understand because sometimes when you do it it's kind of like stops the wave and you kind of like just like go through the game quicker but a lot of times when you be getting like dominated by the hordes its good so I guess it just depends on what level of difficulty that you play it on cause I know when I play it on hardcore it saves you a lot of time to throw the bomb on the emergence hole because of difficulty of the game but on normal I probably wouldn't throw a bomb in there either
Honestly, playing this first section back in 08 was the coolest fucking shit and gears two remains one of the best sequels in video game history, everything is dialed to 100 and what monstrous threats you dealt with in Gears 1 you now deal with by the dozen, gears 3 couldnt top this.....
Thousands of Gears managed to make it into The Hollow, although a lot of them died after getting down there. Delta Squad was one of the few Squads that were actually making progress down there.
Watching this after Gears of War E day trailer and can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve played Gears 2. So many good memories and such and amazing game. See you all On Eday
What I didn’t understand about this game is why split their most effective squad up? Cole and Baird should have been with Dom and Marcus from the start.
3 hurt..... "I'm coming Maria".... my mom was playing coop w me 58 years old at the time. She said, "No Dom, no don't do it. No damnit. FUCK". After finding Maria in 2, my mom got soooooo mad we stormed the front gates. I asked her"Stealth?" She said "Hell no. Boot . Front door." Gears was awesome w my mom . She usually played Marcus and I played Dom. Good games. Good time w mom.
@@firestuka8850 I had some quality time with my mom today. We went to country side. On the bank of a lake we had BBQ. That's what I call quality time with family. Take your mom and go to a trip, even if it's a short journey. Life is short and opportunities are scarce. Do your best before it's too late.
So was Hollow Storm a success? I know the goal was to irradicate the locast, but they obviously failed in that. BUUT they did kill end killing the queen right? So was storming the hollow a necessary move for humanity in buying more time?
It was a pyrrhic victory. They thought they killed all the locust, until Gears of War 3. But they lost the last human city of Jacinto. They lost so many men and resources. It was a success, but so costly.
Technically a failure since the original goal was to kill the Queen to force a surrender or retreat. Also a victory since delta killed the riftworm( cog had no conventional way to deal with it) , Scorge the last general ,and found out they needed to sink Jacinto before the locusts left.
Love god and love all people. Trust, hope and do good in god. 😂Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
See what I never understood is if they are taking too many losses before even deploying. Wouldn’t it be pointless to send troops down into the crust? Like only a few units made it down and I’m sure they weren’t at full strength. So how would the gears underground be able to launch an extended assault when the entry point is already overrun?
This whole operation is their last chance. They’ve already committed everything they have left to it. We retreat now and there won’t be another day to fight
The game only shows a small portion of the assault. Thousands of gears were deployed and made it underground. Delta was just one of the first squads/ waves to be deployed
Always liked the average helmeted COG soldier the best and always used them in Multi P modes as much as possible...just a faceless, nameless soldier kickin' ass.

They really don't make games like this anymore.

Prescott’s speech was the second most iconic dialogue spoken in Gears history, only second to Cole’s Queen Myrrah diss.
I 100% agree with you on that. When I first heard Prescott's speech, I got so hyped up that I gave him the Hoorahs along with the troops who have heard his speech as well.
Q
Hahaha fr
You gotta wonder the kind of mindset it put all the troops in though. Most of these guys were conscripts, fresh recruits, young cadets, etc. and Prescott made them feel like they would all come home as war heroes. In reality he was sending a bunch of inexperienced soldiers into the meat grinder. Sure his speech served to motivate the hell out of the Gears, but his rhetoric had to have resulted in a lot of casualties.
Bear in mind, the life expectancy for a regular Joe was slim as all hell during the Locust war, so there weren't many veterans left by this time. Then, considering the casualties the COG took from the Lightmass offensive, morale had to have sunk to rock bottom (pun intended) by that point. Come Hollow Storm, you have a bunch of trigger-happy cowboys drilling deep into the inner hollow with no armor or air support, no way to contact high command, and with literally one order: kill anything that moves.
The hollows were unmapped, the troops were ill-equipped, and the chain of command had to have been in complete disarray for the first few hours underground.

@@praveeshachapman677 imagine going to your army of broken veterans and inexperienced recruits just to tell them there's a worse threat than the unending horde of genocidal inhuman monsters, whom they can barely hold off from a single city
The prime years of GOW 😔
Back in the day when the story really show us how brutal the war is
I played this game so much on 360 I cracked the disc. Such a classic
this game was a masterpiece
People: Man, Prescott is cool!
Me who read the books: Oh, you sweet summer child.
he's the goat 🐐
Microsoft should bring all of the gears games to pc
arent already in PC?? in the microsoft store
@@mariano98ify just the ultimate edition, 4 and 5.
@@mariano98ify 2 and 3 never made it to PC.
Guess there was a plan to port 2, 3 and Judgement after Ultimate Edition. But Ultimate kind of fail so maybe they scratched that.
If you havent played gears 1-3 and you think 4 and 5 are amazing...my friend do I have A SURPRISE FOR YOU
If they remaster this game like the 1st, I will definitely get it
I don't think they will
1:10 “heard theres a shitload of grubs down there Sergeant”
More like 10 shit loads
you now i liked dizzy the moment he went and fought scorge all by himself to cover marcus and dom he was one of my favorite characters second to ben carmine
As a Pest Exterminator for 3 years, 2:35 is how I explain to my customers what we're doing before we begin.
God deamn, with a speech like that, anyone go to the war like a fucking machine!
Glad to see others still rock gow2 in 2022
Didn’t understand how good gears 1 and gears 2 was untill i played them. Great series. Great story
Watching this because of Russia and Ukraine are about to start the pendulum wars lol
I miss this series a lot, wish it were on pc
my friend, i am 2 years late but search up 'Xenia Canary", it is an emulator that will allow you to play 360 titles. Ive played gears 1 2 3 and judgement, all on pc with a controller connected.
The nostalgic of this game....i remember when i thought that the locus armies are so unfair in this mission 🤣
Carmine, “Heard there is a s load of grubs there, sarge.”
Fenix, “ 1:23
GOD DAMNIT HIT THE ACTIVE RELOAD ONCE _PLEASE_ 😂
Ah, memories. Gears 1 and 2 are probably among the best narrative =/= experience in the xbox 360 library, with the old Halos.
DIZZY FOR PRESIDENT, 2024
"WEEEEE-HAAAAAAA!"
Still one of the best campaigns in any game ever. This is like only one of a handful of shooters that made you feel like you’re part of an actual war. An epic experience I’ll never forget
Whos here after seeing the new gears trailer? Whos ready to kill some grubs again!?
Nostalgia mission right here what even makes it better is the dizzy hat Easter egg having a big ass corpser with his hat say “Yeeeee Hawwwww”😂
This is a sign.....played Gears 3 the other day on 360, i think its time too run back Gears 2
Glad to see others still rock gow2 in 2022
To this day, best video game speech, introduction, and cutscene ever. Gears 2 has to be remembered for generations, it's phenomenal.
I know it is just a video game. I that speech gave me bonafide goosebumps. Still moving enough to get my attention even now. Oh yeah, great game also enjoyed it lots. ✌️
Those choppers have garbage pilots if they got taken out by mortars lol
They call them mortars but the nemecyst are more like missiles they can track and change course
For the next game, I'm kinda hoping that it will be a prequel concerning the Immulsion wars. I found fighting the UIR soldiers a whole different setting than I did with Locusts, the sense that the battle is between Man vs Man at their most vicious state, not out of a sense of survival but out of a sense of dominance.
Most likely will be Gears 6, before they consider any other kind of project. At the pace they're going with the story? May even be a Gears 7.
The idea of fighting UIR soldiers is kinda bland in my opinion. If I want a man vs man war, I go to COD or battlefield. I'd rather play a gears prequel that explains why Marcus went to jail instead of the Pendulum Wars.
@@denisofGOW I can understand your POV but the Immulsion wars were just a step down than the Locust and Lambent wars in level of brutality. Tai's tribal home village was slaughtered to the last child because they were simply in the way of the UIR's advance
@@electroeel148 Yeah, the UIR and the COG were brutal during the pendulum wars, but the locusts are 100x more brutal. Just think about it: if a gears about pendulum wars was made, you'd go from fighting grubs, corpsers, brumaks and reavers to a simple man vs man conflict. I think that would be a downgrade. A gears game without locusts Is like a Halo without the covenant. Or a doom without the demons. It would just feel weird and bland for me.
@@denisofGOW I didn't say that they were on equal levels of brutality I said a couple steps apart
Just the fact, epic games decided to stop this gem of franchise to create fortnite..
The music, the speech is the most badassest and inspirational speech ive heard in a vidya game
Gears of war . One of the front runners for exceptional games on 360 . Sad to see that gears 5 is dead when the franchise is super unique and extremely fun . I hope gears 6 revitalizes the game
There Will be news about it on June this year
people dont understand but after beating gears one were locust were sacry , hard to kill MF were fighting for our own survival was hard enought , Going to them in gears 2 was so heroic and so ballsy
soooo no recon forces or effective AA in horrible terrain with massive slow barely armed vehicles. great plan
My favorite Gears game, the first 3 are sooo good
Dizzy is your average Texan citizen
Good ol days
This is why they should return to their roots and stop the whole rainbows and sunny colored shit that is GoW 4 and up.
this theme and feel. Dark, hopeless, desperate is what made gears gears
Ehh idk when the past 3 last games including the one with Bard and Cole is all about grimdark you're really mad when it's not that grimdark but what's bugging me and what I don't understand is how are the Gears the bad guys in the story part 4.
It bothered me a little bit when you didn't throw grenades inside most of the emergence holes but I understand because sometimes when you do it it's kind of like stops the wave and you kind of like just like go through the game quicker but a lot of times when you be getting like dominated by the hordes its good so I guess it just depends on what level of difficulty that you play it on cause I know when I play it on hardcore it saves you a lot of time to throw the bomb on the emergence hole because of difficulty of the game but on normal I probably wouldn't throw a bomb in there either
俺たちが戦う理由を忘れるな、ヤツらがやったことを忘れるな、セラを...忘れるな。
Out of just about every charcter in gears my favorite charcters are probably tai and dizzy sucks about what happened to tai
Honestly, playing this first section back in 08 was the coolest fucking shit and gears two remains one of the best sequels in video game history, everything is dialed to 100 and what monstrous threats you dealt with in Gears 1 you now deal with by the dozen, gears 3 couldnt top this.....
I wish this was on PC, my little brother and I spent countless hours replaying this campaign over and over back on the 360 as kids. such a fun game.
search up Xenia Canary, it is an emulator that will let you play 360 titles.
Wow, just remembered first time playing this part, i loved every moment
Can someone do a no clip video of this? Where they showed the surroundings helicopters, etc
Love how only delta squad and tai were the only ones that survive the ride
What?
there where many others,and you can see it
Actually there was a bunch of others that survived too. You can see this in the hollow with the grind lifts coming through the roof
Thousands of Gears managed to make it into The Hollow, although a lot of them died after getting down there.
Delta Squad was one of the few Squads that were actually making progress down there.
for some how i don't see any jet fighter or strike fighter in Gears of War serie
those giant vehicles with the turrest remind me of the elephant from halo3, halo3 odst and halo wars~
Gears of War 2 was the best Gears I ever played
Watching this after Gears of War E day trailer and can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve played Gears 2. So many good memories and such and amazing game. See you all On Eday
MS should remastered the first three Gears of War and release it in the new platform
What I didn’t understand about this game is why split their most effective squad up? Cole and Baird should have been with Dom and Marcus from the start.
Likely b/c the COG had a lot of new recruits. By splitting up Delta they could lead & assist the other inexperienced soldiers.
I’d be thrilled to see a Gears or War 2 Remastered or whatever. It’s honestly my favorites campaign out of all the games.
One more question how the hell these characters run like that So close to the ground
The Golden Rule of a gear: keep your Head down or die
This game was amazing.
Hands down the best GOW to this day. After this the franchise turned to actual shit.
Lol 😆🤣 So Rameen tell me about video games in your country.............🤣
3 hurt..... "I'm coming Maria".... my mom was playing coop w me 58 years old at the time. She said, "No Dom, no don't do it. No damnit. FUCK". After finding Maria in 2, my mom got soooooo mad we stormed the front gates. I asked her"Stealth?" She said "Hell no. Boot . Front door." Gears was awesome w my mom . She usually played Marcus and I played Dom. Good games. Good time w mom.
@@firestuka8850 I had some quality time with my mom today. We went to country side. On the bank of a lake we had BBQ. That's what I call quality time with family. Take your mom and go to a trip, even if it's a short journey. Life is short and opportunities are scarce. Do your best before it's too late.
My most favourite speech right next to Sky Marshal Dienes one from Starship Troopers.
So was Hollow Storm a success? I know the goal was to irradicate the locast, but they obviously failed in that. BUUT they did kill end killing the queen right? So was storming the hollow a necessary move for humanity in buying more time?
i think it was
It was a pyrrhic victory. They thought they killed all the locust, until Gears of War 3.
But they lost the last human city of Jacinto. They lost so many men and resources. It was a success, but so costly.
Technically a failure since the original goal was to kill the Queen to force a surrender or retreat. Also a victory since delta killed the riftworm( cog had no conventional way to deal with it) , Scorge the last general ,and found out they needed to sink Jacinto before the locusts left.
I’m the first one ☝️😁
Seems like a crime to play this without the blood.
Love god and love all people. Trust, hope and do good in god. 😂Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
I wish they remastered Gears of War 2 & 3 like they did for the first. one
Some big push with a few hundred guys. But I like how Gears kept it small scale.
Apparently Thousands of Gears were involved, I guess they just had other drop-points, and you had the second wave that dropped into Nexus
Man I just wanna see a remaster. It'd be so good!
Man Ive only played demo but so much loved GoW
Compare this...with Gears 5.....
Hello darkness my old friend.
i've been hearing that we might get a remastered of this, this year
I really hope they make a gears strategy game having battles like this one would be fun
See what I never understood is if they are taking too many losses before even deploying. Wouldn’t it be pointless to send troops down into the crust? Like only a few units made it down and I’m sure they weren’t at full strength. So how would the gears underground be able to launch an extended assault when the entry point is already overrun?
This whole operation is their last chance. They’ve already committed everything they have left to it. We retreat now and there won’t be another day to fight
It’s like at the battle of Midway. They had to gamble it. No other choice when your backs against the wall.
The game only shows a small portion of the assault. Thousands of gears were deployed and made it underground. Delta was just one of the first squads/ waves to be deployed
What a masterpiece it was. So many memories
man... the FPS boost really makes this feel like a whole new game!
