And not to mention… Halvo Bay was the Main Academy grounds for Onyx Guards and look what happened to that. Then you have Azura where the remainder of them were sent (besides the Chairman’s Escorts) and got ambushed and killed
I dont believe in the "just doing my job" excuse. Let's people believe they aren't responsible for their actions just because they were told to do something.
@@nicholasprutzman9915 You have a good point, but I would say that in this video's case, it is a bit unfair for them to be rough with the guy who they successfully intimidated into not arresting kate
@@itzempathy4464 You would think the onyx guards would have more respect for Marcus Fenix who is a war hero and basically the master chief of the cog army who has more experience and skill than him and no matter how hi tech or fancy their armor and equipment and status is they dont hold a candle to him but nope.
Probably cause they don't have any, atleast compared to the rank an file. They're pretty much Soviet Commissars. Look fancy an play the national anthem on repeat in their helmets but don't do any actual fighting. An when they do they usually end up dead.
It was in Gears 3. Gotta love Brian Bloom. He voices alot of memorable game characters like Varric from Dragon Age 2/Inquisition, and BJ from the new Wolfensteins.
Yeah but those were the ones in the locust war were know for being dicks and arrogant and elitist, the ones in gears 5 are probably less experienced and more humble that the OG ones so it would've been better to see the OG ones get shoulder checked like that.
Considering hundreds if not thousands of these elite bodyguards and special forces were killed at Halvo Bay and their academy was destroyed it’s not hard to see why they softened up. They failed again and again.
They failed again and again because of shit writers. These guys are supposed to be the elite of the elite yet there isn't a single scene of them being like what they're supposed to be because all the screentime must be given to others.
Am I the only one who loves the Onyx Guards (especially the new ones (plus guy who was bullied)). I loved them since 3 and pissed that they weren’t in 4. I pray they’re in 5 later on in the… operations, I believe they’re called... not sure correct me if I’m wrong. Point is… I want Newbie Guard in 5 as a playable character.
Same but I want his voice to sound like when he said "Maam?" But I also want the new COG gear and there voice to be that one private in act 1 who said "EVERY ONE STAY BACK THEY'RE COMING IN" The guy who lost there deebees
fortnite can kill itself Newbie Guard with Newbie voice, but Private voice when friendly fire upon himself or teammates?? Plus newest Onyx Guard Armor?!?? Sounds like a magnificent idea!!
To me its actually the point if you look at Gears 4 they replaced most soldier by Deebees i wouldn't be surprise if many soldiers are not battleearned veteran. And the Onyx to me always fell like the running stock of the CGU the all cool looking dudes who get destroyed.
I mean 25% of the world population got wiped out within 6 hours of Eday. After the locust defeat I believe there was only an estimate of 100,000-200,000 humans left on Sera.
"Onyx Guards were nerfed" Through out the games, I've never seen them do one badass thing. they only appeared to be quickly killed to show how dangerous the Locust were. one would say that don't have much experience fighting the Locust, but these guys are supposed to be the most experienced and skilled of the COG, yet I see them fall as easily as a normal soldier, so it's hard for me to take them seriously. Halo made the difference between the Marines and ODST more clear. the ODST fought beside you longer and could do things that Marines couldn't, such as using Jetpacks in Reach. they went as far as having their own game and movie. if I am to take the Onyx Guard seriously, I need to actually see them pull more weight than normal soldiers. until then I just see normal troops with fancy armor and a shiny title
yeah, because the locusts were fucking crackheads, so powerful and numerous that the onyx were ineffective against them. They're elite special forces. Just as you don't send a small squad of marines to take out a horde of zombies, you don't send a small squad of Onyx Guards to thwart a Locust invasion. That's what the grunt Gears are for. Marcus and his squad were typically on the frontlines, so of course seeing Onyx would be rare. Instead they were usually used to defend and escort VIPs, as the name suggests
They remind me of Anbu from Naruto: faceless elite units who are just there to look intimidating and then die to the villain to make him look stronger.
In that scene, it would be cool if he immediately guard his boss and point the gun against them instead of called for the female boss like a little boy cry for his mama
i miss the darker tone of gears but at the same time onyx being nurfed makes a tone of sense beacuse there was literaly only one left so none of the new ones are fully battle hardened vets yet
Honestly I'm just glad they're back. In gears 3 it was reported those Onyx Guards gaurding Prescott were the last ones alive. There was no sighn of them in Gears of war 4 but it was really amazing to have them back in gears 5 like the coalition never just forgot them or abandoned them and remembered there legends from the previous locust and Pendulum wars. Same for the company who didn't forget about them and just never put them back in a gears game. Can't wait for them to be available for multiplayer and have my boys back from Gears of war 3.
@@brodieo7690 I felt bad for those 2 gears in settlement 2 who were killed by the flock first thing u heard was "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" "AHHH AGHHH" THE LEECH ATE THERE HEART
I care about the random gears that fight with you but die after a minute or 2 when I was on the Derrick when the first Bomb hit I was sad about the gears with you on the Derrick dieing instantly when you survive some how
Hay que considerar que los Onyx de Gears 3 y Judgement eran veteranos de las guerras del Péndulo y locust, mientras que estos deben ser de nueva generación.
man, when they said they were gonna add the onyx guards i was excited for the female ones. but then i saw it wasnt the gears of war judgement versions of them and i was sad.
they lowkey remind me of the guards in assassins creed 4, where if u walk past one within 2 feet, they'll legit follow u and try to shove u until like 15 seconds go by
One of the big things I feel is that the onyx guard not only suffered from lack of veterans to fill in officer slots from but also cause a lack of their advanced training so while those 2 guards were onyx they may as well have been ordinary gears wearing better Armor (presumably).
Honestly I really thing they should have ended at gears 3. Like seriously even chairman Prescott was better then first minister Jin. His speech in gears 2 was amazing too
Lots of things went downhill after 3... actually fuck that, things started going downhill after 2, 3 was still ok but not as good as the first 2, then... it just kept getting worse
@@claycarmine7466 yeah I kinda have to agree. 1 thing I disliked is how the Cogs military fell apart after 2. I kinda liked the feeling of being part of an army and fighting away genocidal monsters. But they took it another way so yeah
@@g1starscream01. Yeah, I gotcha. Real talk though, 1 felt the most Military-ish, Delta was a small squad being sent on missions because they were close by, then once 2 rolled around they had this almost superhero presence to them, it makes sense from a narrative standpoint, but it sorta took away from the gritty atmosphere, 2 is still the best in my opinion though.
@@claycarmine7466 yeah 2 was mostly my favorite because of just the overall story where they began invading the hollows and stuff like a full out war turned around into the grub mainland. And the only scary part in that game was when u went to new hope. Always scared me shitless no matter how many times I replayed it. Only thing was skorges fight seems a little too easy. They should have had general Ramm reborned or something and fight along side skorge for a true boss fight.
Also it was the true time we learned about the Lambent outbreak going on in the hollow. The Lambent broomok was a nice touch. Also we got to drive revers and a broomok which was cool
The problem when compared to normal Gears who fight and die like bosses, the Onyx Guard are seldom seen and fought to the end at Azura. Like many say in the comments, no one was ready for E-Day. Heck the main training ground for The Guard was attacked early on, specifically because of the danger they may pose. Also new Onyx are most likely not vets from Locust War. So it makes sense that they have less combat experience.
I like to think that Jinn doesn't have "Onyx Guard", she has soldiers with the same uniform for the sake of image, probably related to influential people who wanted the honour of serving in the guard. It would make sense given her reliance on DBs making her think they wouldn't see much use.
@Lazarus_Vega_ If an army gets disbanded, the soldiers can still seek employment elsewhere. And they will still be those soldiers, so going by their old unit name would be expected, if anything. If you hire the old Onyx Guard, you want that image. There's a reason Napoleon formed his men into legions and had them marching under golden eagle standards. Reminds me of when the U.N. ordered the Iraqi army to disband (they decided not to). Then there's the Mamluks, who ended up taking over Egypt. Or the SS who ended up in the armies of other countries.
I feel like you can compare the onyx guards to the Roman praetorian guards. They are top notch soldiers and trained very well, however they lack any combat experience since they just guard high value people. As Captain Rex from the clone wars would say, “In my book, experience outranks everything.”
TH-cam just put this in suggest videos and im glad they did. Also I thought this is easter egg about delta squad taking revenge from the onyx guards and that showed me that TC know this great franchise well more even i say than epic games themselves with the amount of retcons in gears judgment
Nerfed? They were always cannon fodder for some reason. In Gears 3, there were quite a few Onyx Guard corpses littering Azura. In RAAM's Shadow, they were being slaughtered by the dozens. In Judgment, they were massacred in the courtroom, with the exception of Sofia, who is an Onyx Guard cadet in Baird's squad. (Oof for Sofia, though.) Now comes Gears 5, where the lot of them get eaten by the Kraken. Nothing new. They look real cool, though. So I'll still use them in MP, lol.
I'll never understand that, they are said to be the COGs elite forces, but they always die. Now, Azura I can understand. They were ordered to protect that island, and the Horde invaded. It was only a matter of time before the last of the Onyx were wiped out. Everywhere else though? I dunno man, I think they should get some time to shine aside from shoulder checking allies
hey guys Onyx guard just got confirmed in Gears 5 he's coming out mid 2021 and will be priced at 2000 iron aka $20. Also he will not be available for Horde at launch because TC don't know what abilities to give him

They were outnumbered and outgunned, I wouldn’t have made that fight either
They were always week
Gears 5 ruined gears
Some Onyx Guards were jerks but the last guy that got bumped by nearly everyone seemed like he wasn’t a jerk based on his reaction and his response.
Gabriel Tejada well in the actual game he says “Okay I get it”
The Reaper_TRO I know
Gabriel Tejada yeah sorry I had accidentally skipped the vid to the edit part and saw your comment so my bad
Exactly, I don't understand the Oynx Guard hate?
@@brianachim2670 They basically consider themselves the best of the COG despite the fact most of their important victories were carried out by Gears.

F that. He should learn to think for himself. It might save his life.
Has anyone noticed that Oynx Guards have never had an awesome moment even though they're supposedly the elites?
Simple they don't possess the plot armor the main characters do.
Also remember they were not ready for E day , nobody was, they've never fought locust
And not to mention…
Halvo Bay was the Main Academy grounds for Onyx Guards and look what happened to that.
Then you have Azura where the remainder of them were sent (besides the Chairman’s Escorts) and got ambushed and killed
Thats because the onyx guards are douches from what the players see
Prometheus The Ancient that has nothing to do with having moments.
Nobody:
Every Onyx Guard except the last dude: *BUMP EVERYONE INSIGHT*
Last onix guard: (Gets bumped)Hey you... not onix ,bumping people is our job,not yours!
We need a game about an elite Onyx Squad during the war. They're armor is so badass.

The new design is growing on me but i still prefer the old Onyx. I do appreciate how the new ones aren't overly bulky though.
Same
Ae7herium here’s hoping they make them playable in gears 5 somewhere down the line.
lol in the first scene you can see the left onyx guard being to wide for the chopper and clipping through it
Overly bulky is what gears is about
It's suppose to be overly bulky like a door
I like the detail when the Onyx guard accidentally hits chairman Jinn and she was concerned about him getting pushed rather than being hit by him
Shiki Orochinagi she's a clone. She don't care if she's killed. Another will take her place
Oh wow, that _was_ pretty badass, I never noticed that. He got pushed into her and she didn't give a single fuck, barely moved at all.
I never noticed that
I'd kill a man to have a set of Onyx armour
And a Retro Lancer

Yeah and Remember This is a new generation of Onyx Guards so its likely these ones aren't as experience as the OG ones from the locust war.
@@ebonkinghtThe OG ones also did nothing badass onscreen
Why can’t we play as Gears, Carmines, or Onyx Guards in gow 5 even though they’re already in the game
Because horde mode and the classes in arcade
I feel like the Coalition has something against Helmets...
Armando Galvez we could still have them in multiplayer.
October's Title Update is apparently supposed to bring in more characters. The Onyx Guard is in an achievement picture with the Horde heroes.
It's probably going to be part of the stupid ass battle pass though, plus that stuff should be day 1

So far they’ve basically been the equivalent of Emperor Palpatine’s guess in revenge of the Sith getting instantly knocked out by Yoda
Well, reason for the deebee's was roughly 80% of humanity were either killed by the locust, or turned into fried chicken by the Hammers
So they literally had no one left to really fight the swarm
I mean 25% of the world population got wiped out within 6 hours of Eday. After the locust defeat I believe there was only an estimate of 100,000-200,000 humans left on Sera.

“HEY ASSHOLE, WATCH IT”
I was crackin up after that part last night
TH-cam just put this in suggest videos and im glad they did. Also I thought this is easter egg about delta squad taking revenge from the onyx guards and that showed me that TC know this great franchise well more even i say than epic games themselves with the amount of retcons in gears judgment
I remembered on Beast Mode, they shoot neon blue rounds which was cool. Hope they make it to Gears 5 as playable like GoW3
Old onx: Chad black gears that died for humanity
New onx: glorified body gaurds
'GEARS OF WAR' got nerfed in Gears 4/5
I love all the gears games not many games can make you feel upset when a robot dies
Most of the old onyx guard got murdered with Prescott. The new onyx were most likely new cadet.
Yeah around 25 years old.
Nerfed? They were always cannon fodder for some reason. In Gears 3, there were quite a few Onyx Guard corpses littering Azura.
In RAAM's Shadow, they were being slaughtered by the dozens.
In Judgment, they were massacred in the courtroom, with the exception of Sofia, who is an Onyx Guard cadet in Baird's squad. (Oof for Sofia, though.)
Now comes Gears 5, where the lot of them get eaten by the Kraken. Nothing new.
They look real cool, though. So I'll still use them in MP, lol.
I'll never understand that, they are said to be the COGs elite forces, but they always die. Now, Azura I can understand. They were ordered to protect that island, and the Horde invaded. It was only a matter of time before the last of the Onyx were wiped out. Everywhere else though? I dunno man, I think they should get some time to shine aside from shoulder checking allies
You can say the onyx are fodder but at that point what is a normal gear
@J Then why does a video about them being nerfed exist in the first place?
Onyx guard roasted Sofia. "no you're not Cadet."
• BRO LOL I never noticed the onyx guards bumping Marcus in 3 , WOW !
The two gears that were with Prescott and gears of war 3 I would love to assume that that was Rivera and Lowe his CP team from the books
Then there's just the ending of 5 where onyx guards get eaten like they're malteasers
Everyone forgets that onyx were peak of cgo then and now basically
Now your wrong for putting mad world over marcus' face 😭😭😂
The onyx still look pretty badass with that dark armor
hey guys Onyx guard just got confirmed in Gears 5 he's coming out mid 2021 and will be priced at 2000 iron aka $20. Also he will not be available for Horde at launch because TC don't know what abilities to give him
Anyone else prefer the gears of war 3 voice more than the new one
You should have added the scene where lumps says "war is cruelty"
In Gears 5, you dont mess with Delta Squad.
That onyx guard had all those guns pointed at his face and still asked her if he should shoot shit
I just love the way Fahz just WALK RIGHT FUCKING THROUGH HIM😂😂😂
They remind me of Ghost from MW2.
He’s hyped up as this unstoppable badass, but he never actually does anything special. He’s just their to be there.
They were punks in cool armor, they never did a thing that any ol Carmine could do on a normal Tuesday
Well, Carmine was the first one to die in a stupid way...heck almost all the Carmines died 🤣
