Don’t lie, you all had a stroke when that first berserker busted through the wall in the tombs
Berserker: runs and screams
Me: 💩
I probably would be too scared to move. Lolz.
I remember refusing to move or carry on playing because of that mission. Looking behind me and watching the berzerker running after me shat me up so much I couldn't sleep properly for a good day or two.
Declan West I would always call it too. I would mentally prepare myself for fucking Big Bertha to smash through the wall. But when she did it always made me jump, no matter how many times I prepared.
Declan West Yes, holy shit
Why I wouldn’t survive the Horde...easy.
I can’t wall bounce.

God must've been dominated, pegged hard by one of his GFs, how the hell else would he come up with Hyenas?
So the creator talks about how he was in a dark place with his ex wife and his divorce etc etc. and attributes that to the creation of the berserkers.

B. Carmine: "if you had a helmet, you wouldn't have to breathe in the dust."
Dom: "if I had a helmet I wouldn't be able to spot snipers so easily."
Marcus: "Dom chill."
Fun facts:
Lancer Rifle has chainsaw bayonet specifically to tear through Locust hide.
Locust's insane durability is very noticeable in game. In GoW 1 even Drones take almost full clip from Lancer to kill. Better go for headshots.
Kantus priests are mutated so much, they need to saw off bone growths on their appendages (spikes on elbows for example) to actually move and wear armor.
General RAAM is actually a Drone by caste. He was big and cunning enough to become a general.
Locusts can control creatures from the Hollow through some unknown means, presumably through Emulsion. RAAM's Krylls are one example.
Brumaks aren't native to Hollow, they are genetically and Emulsion-modified species of apes.
Kantus priests actually can heal other Locust with their chants somehow. Most likely, they activate the Emulsion inside their bodies, and Emulsion is capable of rapidly repairing and mutating the host.
COG are never painted as good guys, just the only ones left. Books, games and comics show what would a fascist-socialist government like COG do in war for survival. Spoiler: what they do is not pretty. At all. As is 'human breeding farms' level of not pretty.
Anya Stroud, the female lead in GoW 3 and Marcus' love interest, is only able to serve in military because they thought she can't bear children. Otherwise? Off to the human farms you go.
Chairman Prescott, for all his cowardice, hypocrisy and other questionable qualities, was the one to push the button when they ordered Hammer of Dawn strikes. He knew full well all the implication of doing it, too.
How exactly do Locust reproduce is never explained, but heavily implied in one of the books, The Slab, IIRC. It is most likely that there's no rape involved, and they don't even mate. There are a few facts that help us paint the picture:
After E-Day Locust actually stopped their advance, or at least slowed, even before Hammer of Dawn strikes, as if they didn't have the numbers to push forward.
There are no known records of Locust children, even in their capital, the Nexus. Even after parts of the Horde go savage, they never seem to establish any sort of reproductive cycle. Yet there are always fresh drones to throw into meatgrinder.
No known records of Berserker rape, Berserkers being pregnant or anything else. Thank god for that, but still. Locust just let Berserkers loose on enemy, not caring if they live or die. Considering how rare Berserkers are, it's kind of counterproductive.
After certain amount of time passed, Locust started taking prisoners, something they never did before on principle. A lot of prisoners.
They have Torture Barges in Hollows, where they, well, torture and mutilate prisoners for no apparent reason. Locust also lobotomize their victims, process taking place presumably on Torture Barges. After that, they have special pods for transporting these poor souls to somewhere.
Part of the Locust religious mantra is "Queen creates drones".
Together with mutated children there were a lot of scientists exiled.
Most likely explanation is that Locust make more Locust from captured humans.
I always though it was a mix of both since the Locust kind of waged a war of genocide against humanity, but that wouldn't make sense if they need humans to reproduce
@@sharkhead1177 its hilarious how whenever a fan brings up warhammer its always how the something thats actually being talked about pales in comparison to warhammer
no one was talking about warhammer that sht is irrelevant
It's a shame Coalition changed the hammerburst in gow4 I've always liked the iron sights an semi auto firing.
@@HeroOfJusticeYT Every time someone starts comparing something to Warhammer for no reason, just mention Halo. Works like a fucking charm.
Mr. Cat what does that even mean, the Imperial Guard alone could take the UNSC, let alone Space Marines, covenant are nothing to Tao or Eldar and tyranids and flood would be fun to watch. But Chaos wins all
If Marcus and crew didn’t have plot armor, they would have died long ago
Not really they are seasoned vets and highly skilled regular soldiers and they do not underestimate the enemy a mistake colonel Loomis made in judgement and nearly paid for it
Plus stranded survived just fine just hard times

I was there in the offices working on the UT2004 Onslaught vehicles when the 1st GoW was being made. Late in the evenings, I'd sometimes go over to the main Epic side when they were in the Capital Center, and talk with Chris and Steve and Cliff about what they were doing. It remains to this day the most professionally superlative job in my life, that year plus of time.
When that "BOOM" voice played, I kinda panicked. Have a history with that shit. Even on easy

Still can't believe that the studio behind Gears of War ended up making Fortnite.
The main campaign is actually quite similar to gears of war (Fortnite Save the World) just more cartoon and dumbed down.
Smashers are basically (Berserkers)
Lobbers are snipers
The midget zombies are wretches/tickers
The normal zombies are drones
Blasters are basically kactus.
Also Marcus Fenix's voiceactor is Jonesy and most soldiers

Who is here after the Gears of war E day trailer? ✋ Seing marcus barely survive a 1v1 againts a drone really shows how screwed where the seran’s at the start of emergance day.
I’m still waiting for a game that really captures the feeling of being a small, insignificant grunt facing a Locust onslaught. Gears 2 came close...
Dead Space lol.
If they never found his father in the third game then it could've been that
Like halo ODST?
Judgment tried but failed to do that...
People talking about the Boomers 'BOOM!' being terrifying clearly haven't played beast mode on insane. 'WOOO!'
BruteSparta YES OMFG!! COLE always has a dang boomshot and it’s fatal.
Playing beast ON INSANE,Are you fucking crazy!?!!?
Beast mode was the best. I love playing as the berserker. Horde mode just crazy tho
Average Eugene best way to beat it is keeping spawning as a ticker and keep trying to kill things until you have lots of money
wait wait wait, people thought the BOOM from Boomers was terrifying?
What if we never planned to survive them?

“Why you wouldn’t survive the locust horde”
“Number one: Locust horde.”
Who else had no idea Gears of War had such deep lore
Ive been around since gears 1 and learn sumething new
Oh defiantly not me. Marcus phoenix has his own damn comic! The lore of sera is crazy detailed.
The queen is definitely Marcus's mother
If you're really interested, I recommend reading the books and the comics. There's alot of new info on the locust from the comics that came out this year.
Go to the gears wiki, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg
To anyone that thinks Myrrah is mother of Marcus: if Queen Myrrah is the mother of Marcus, and Kait is her grandaughter, That would mean Reyna (Kaits mother) is the half sister of Marcus, making Kait Marcus's niece. Therefore, James is in love with his cousin.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
HOLEY DOULEY!!!
Also his mother is in the comics
if you actually play the games and read the comics and books, you would not have any reason to believe this shit
@@bengooding4084 I've only played the games. I dont think Myrrah is Marcus's mother, but I've always had the idea that Adam might be Reyna's father. Does that make more sense?
You forgot to mention that you have to be built like a tank if you want to survive.
All the skinny gears get wacked.

'5 centuries before current timeline'.... 'then peace came lasting 1000 years'

4:58 that gave me the chills. Imagining something like this happening gives me chills down my spine. I don't think I would survive 2 seconds.
I love Gears but hate the toxic community. Everyone you meet "used to be a pro", "played for OpTic", "is the best player to have lived" or "is the second coming of Christ" when it comes to Gears.
Too. Fucking. True.
Nah not really. I just hate that everyone I ever played against was better than me
So true, or when you use any other weapon apart from the Gnasher and everyone in the match loses their mind over it even your own team.
Honestly I play gears just for the story and horde mode. I hope they bring back beast mode loved it
If he wall bounces, he’s most likely toxic
Don’t forget that the locust was fighting a two front war so imagine if they didn’t have to fight the lambent and focused all there forces on the humans
Actually if I remember correctly the locust did just fine with the lambent in gears 1 and they didn't become a problem until the lightmass bomb destroyed the outer hollow allowing for the lambent to go on the offensive closer to nexus
@@UzilKryll06 They were on an even playing field in gears one, not getting slaughtered but still falling in numbers to lambent. But the imulsion was what made the lambet very hard to deal with since the locusts were dying of sickness as well as the lambent.
That is why the locusts invaded in the first place actually since staying closer to the imulsion was killing them each day.
Nothing would happen. The lambent was the reason they rose from the surface and wage war with the humans.
The lambent exists for the same reason the locust do, and there is a reason locust are more susceptible to it. The lambent come *from* imulsion. and the locust mutate *because* of imulsion.
You can't have one without the other.
DivideByZero all I was saying was imagine how strong the locust army would be if they wasn’t fighting a war on two fronts
3:38, I can't believe you threw that and missed lol.
I just realized that 17:53 was the day one map on gears 2
How dare you insinuate that i, an untrained male with no experience in combat or survival in alien lands not be able to destroy demonic monsters, and possess a long life in such conditions.

Different creators just using the same engine. So you're wrong my child
When Carmine said he had nightmares about grubs coming up from the ground at any time I thought, oh shit, everyone should already be dead, and still think so. They'd just pull you underground in your sleep.
Myrrah was not a scientist but a patient, and she became rogue 'cause she had a kid with a scientist, and that the scientist was killed and she thought her daughter was killed too

Great job on the lore dude, I didn't even know some of it, and I've been playing since the start
I didnt know a lot of this, thanks for making this, I love this game series and it's cool to learn more about the lore
Check the gears wiki or the comics there is So much to learn
Apparently you gonna do a 3 part series on the gears universe. Gotta do the locust. Then lambent. Then fudging swarm. But more details when the gotdang gears 5 come out cause clearly there's more killables in that game then gears 4...
Honestly, I'd prefer getting a bullet from the Locust over turning Lambent or going through whatever hell the people trapped in the Swarm pods end up experiencing. But then again, the Locust have those torture barges, so I guess there's no winning.
@@kamikazelemming1552 i'd wanna be a swarm cause there is a chance i can gotdang mutate and look cool and stuff but that is just bad logic right there in my end.

"But everything changed when the locust nation attacked." ........ I see what you did there #Avatar
Gears 5 rewrite and recontextualization of the lore was crazy. Myrrah, being rewritten as a sort of rare-form queen-type locust with queen-types all being mostly human and slow aging but being psychically linked to the entire horde was pretty cool.
One thing that both the game and this video undervalue are the mortars- holy cow, are GoW mortars good! They're like a cross between airburst and artillery, and can kill the big guys with ease. Against swarms of infantry, mortar barrages are a murderously effective countermeasure. If every human squad (8-15 soldiers) had a mortar team, then the locusts would have sustained even higher casualties.
Also, flooding the hollows with ocean water was the right choice, but how did it take 14 years and a scientific prodigy to think of that? And how come the researchers who studied immulsion never performed chemical analyses (which would have shown that it's a living organism)? It's great for plot, but even the USSR wasn't that scientifically backwards.
Good point on the mortars, but the issue about them was that they couldn't simply start pouring hell because of the number of casualties it would have caused(not that it stopped them from using the Hammer of Dawn). On E-Day the locusts moved quickly and by sunset the kryll had covered most of the sky which blocked radio communications and made it next to impossible to know if it was safe to again launch mortar attacks.
As for the flooding, it ultimately failed because they didn't know the extent of the hollows and just how big a network of caves it was. The only 2 scientists that knew about the immulsion where the parents of Marcus, but the mom was killed off before being able to disclose her discovery and the dad kept it hidden for unknown reasons. The rest of the world only saw the immulsion as oil from our perspective so they didn't know what was going on.
@@jaimegarcia4436 I'll grant that in the first few weeks of combat, the COG was not fully mobilized and couldn't rapidly respond to the locust attacks. But the war dragged on for almost 2 decades, so it wasn't won or lost in a single stroke. Once the initial shock wore off, then the COG should have had no difficulty employing mortars en masse, before or after using the hammer of dawn.
I can also understand that not all of the tunnels would be flooded at once, but once flooded, it's no longer usable, and dangerous to work next to. So even if they only flooded tunnels as they popped up, over time the effects would add up. As for the immulsion, any scientific research on its chemical properties would have discovered it to be a living organism. Oil today is processed and refined using techniques derived from hundreds of experiments. Even if most experiments were for the purpose of optimization, they discovered lots of other useful things in the process. So in order to be totally ignorant as to the source of the fuel (oil or immulsion), there would have to be zero experimentation, and no attempts to improve efficiency or cost-effectiveness.
@@michaelmccabe3079 You make very good points, I wasn't really going in on trying to think of it like that. I was simply answering the overall question with regards to the lore known, my bad if it seemed otherwise ignorant on my part.
@@jaimegarcia4436 According to the lore, the leaders of the COG have no scientific interests, nor any military competence beyond 'Carmine Jenkins!' charges. X'D This is also why I think Gears of War: Judgement was particularly fitting: it's a bunch of political officers who care more about procedure than results.
Michael McCabe GOW characters are hilariously retarded. I'm pretty sure the extended lore only exists to cover up any plot holes the games make, and it shows in this video too.
I liked the faction explanations... I always wondered about that.
dang this video is amazing keep it up bro
Best summary of a game series ive seen
