      As much as I agree and enjoy the pre-The Coalition trilogy, no more. The only thing I like in G4, G5, and maybe G6 is Horde. G2 and G3 Horde had a lot more nit and grit feels, while G4 barely scratched the surface. As far as I'm concerned, the heyday of Gears of War and Halo are done.

      Honestly while i have enjoyed various aspects of the new games I'll say this much it really feels like the gore for the series has been toned down.
      A good example is killing enemies. Before if an enemy was DBNO and was crawling they would leave a trail of blood that is no longer in the game. Or how the remains for bodies featured the bones and plenty of blood when you killed someone. You will find no bones whatsoever in any remains, and the blood looks more like jelly than actual liquid.
      It really feels like the Coalition is either being lazy with how kills and remains are done. Or more likely they are borderline trying to make the series T rated like what happened to Halo.

      Cog Gears are far stronger than actual humans. They carry heavy weapons that would take a group of people to haul with little problem. And can apparently beat people to death just with their hands (most noticably squishing the head).
      Bottom line it's very likely they can kill with just their hands.

      My guess would be adrenaline. While the people of the gears universe are indeed “Human” they’re still on average larger than the average human we know today. Hell, Dizzy is probably the most normal sized person that’s well known, and even then I think he’s about 6’2” and still built super strong. Yet he’s small compared to someone like Marcus or Cole.
      Since Serra isn’t earth, it’s probably well they’re a different type of human species, and gears getting more food and rations and training to keep up their size.
      Adrenaline, even in normal humans can make us do some crazy, otherwise impossible stuff. Take that to the super soldiers size and strength of a GoW character and I can see why it’s possible.
      It’s kind of the same concept why the lancer has a chainsaw. Typically you can’t pierce a locust hide, but with the retro lancer, if you get enough momentum and charge hard enough, you can still gore and kill an armored locust despite their tough body.

    Barrick being my favorite character, I was ecstatic when he was brought back in season 8 of Gears 5. He was so criminally underrated despite being the one guy as tough as Marcus. Some may disagree but Barrick was a badass and went down as such, not seeing more of him was a lot of wasted potential.
