In the original version of this cutscene, they had Cole's mom say, "Son, I am so proud of you. Don't you ever forget that." I REALLY wish they didn't cut that part. Would've made the waterworks x 10.
Really shows why cole is my favorite character. He gave up everything to help save humanity and its even stated that him enlisting ended up massively increasing the amount of enlistments betond wht they ever had been.
This is one of the most soul-touching scene in a videogame. It is a simple scene but I'm sure that during this scene, we all relived something we haven't anymore. I think many of us are Cole Train
It's cool that cole jumped over the cover while running,you couldn't do that in gears 3 but now you can do it in gears 4. I guess they got the idea from this scene
When I played Gears of War 3 back in early 2012 I was fascinated by the gameplay of Cole 'playing' with the bomb. Now, 10 years later, I'm thrilled with him picking up the helmet and remembering his playing days because now I felt the same emotion he did in that scene, a mixture of nostalgia and satisfaction. Thank you Cole, you are unstoppable.
The Cole section of the game was probably one of my favorite segments in the entire Gears series. Hilarious, badass, and poignant all at the same time. I honestly wouldn't mind if Cole got his own game and/or DLC.
I was tearing up at first, then when he juked on that first Lambent, me and my friend started laughing our asses off and yelling "COLE TRAIN RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN!" Easily one of the best Gear's moments ever, it was just so surreal and changed my opinion on Cole in barely a few minutes.
Absolutely amazing scene, I truly didn't appreciate this on launch when I was in my mid teens as much as I do now but I think that's the best part about it. After 11 years and all the experiences and changes around me after that passage of time, being able to look back and reminisce like Cole Train for a bit on some good times feels like a mirrored experience even if I never occupied a position as prostigious as his in something like a sports League
@@DRIPDEVILthere is a collectible on the Stadium that is a manual explaining the rules, it's very similar but it has some differences to avoid injuries the ball also is a circle and not an egg
This scene was just one of many in this game that made Gears of War 3 truly EPIC! I couldn't help but LOL at the way you're made to interact in this scene. It really was something surreal! XD
Sadly this is exactly wha gears of war 4 didn't achieve, it completely lacked flashbacks of the past that brought back emotion throughout the game. We barely know what happened to Anya or had any flashbacks of the 25 years that went by. Or even flashbacks of dim or something
Go to the tree where u find the jdf carpeted and then keep going a bit more to the right and you'll find a gate open it and u get a cutscene with you remembering anya
New game with new characters. Just like Gears of War 1, you don't know the characters yet to care about their development. Focusing on the previous Gears characters would undermine that this is a new generation of war.
This still makes me shed a tear seeing this. Seriously if I could be Isakai-ed for the championship Thrashball game, I would be hyping up the crowd with the sound of a train horn. 11 years later and this scene has aged like a fine wine.
Watching the scene at 1:20 makes me want to see American football players do that with any statues of their teams before they play. Like they do it for good luck
This scene hits harder than the entirety of Gears of War 4 and Gears 5 combined. It's sad to see how far the Gears of War franchise had fallen. Gears of War Judgement in 2012 is the last great Gears of War game...
I agree GOW will always be Marcus, Dom, Baird, Tai, Cole, Dizzy, Anya and the Carmines. GOW 4 & 5 don't even feel like a GOW game & IMO they should have named it something else. Sucks they turned this once great franchise into Fortnite.😞
What makes this even more sad. Cole knows this is a life he can't ever return to. Thrashball has the chance of returning to the world. But Cole had spent the past little over 14 years fighting in a war. While I'm sure Cole isn't at the recommended age anymore to participate. But if he continued to play, he could accidently kill someone. You could say this was Cole's last time to relive those glorey days.
This game should've been the end man. I don't know what possessed epic games to make 4 and 5. But Marcus and the rest of the gang should've just lived happily ever after in the ending. It's evident that the devs wanted to end the franchise with a trilogy due to stuff like this. If only they did so....
Cakrabayu Budireksa he was the Michael Jordan of thrash ball (the name of the fictional sport), he was famous worldwide. He was so respected than when he enlisted in the army to fight the locust there was a HUUUUGGEEEEE increase of volunteers enlisting to help in the war. Awesome character.

At this cutscene I thought Cole Train died, but Cole Train never dies...
You can't keep the Cole train down baby! WHOO!!
😬😬
Can t stop the Train baby
The cole train runs on whole grain baby! Wooo!
FOREAL!! I THOUGHT HE DIED TOO🤣🤣
There are less than a handful of moments in the history of cinematic gaming that can even compare to this.
Really shows why cole is my favorite character. He gave up everything to help save humanity and its even stated that him enlisting ended up massively increasing the amount of enlistments betond wht they ever had been.
Even if he dont join the C.o.g . You think they still run football game when world under alien attack?
@@goblincomic4522 they actually do still run thrashball you can hear it on the radio
>Genocidal war to wipe out humanity
>1/4 of all Sera human life killed or captured in one day
>Enlist purely because of celebrity power
Aight.
@@Thurnmourer It was during the start of the war.
Just imagine Sam, Baird and Clayton watching in awe as Cole just starts tackling exploding locusts.
When the objective became “score a point”, Cole was back in his glory days.
This whole scene was just amazing. When Cole grabbed the bomb, then the crowd started cheering "COLE TRAIN, COLE TRAIN" I got mad goosebumps.
Me 2
"ever feel like you're dead but nobody told you"
very underrated and poignant line from a character and series often written off as crude.
@@echodelta2172 that is what makes it tragic, cause that represents everyman

I can relate I like to truly believe there's a little Cole Train in all of us
i cried when he touched the Cougars statue
I just thought you might want to see this comment all these years later
Me too
Favorite part of the scene 🐐
Best part of the scene
It's cool that cole jumped over the cover while running,you couldn't do that in gears 3 but now you can do it in gears 4. I guess they got the idea from this scene
Yes
Even tho noone will probably ever see this comment but it's a strange place to see you here but hey anyone can like whatever they want
@@InnocentBiscuitBoyI found this comment 🤯
@@InnocentBiscuitBoyhe used to do gameplay before the hazbin hotel and helluva boss obsession
i was not prepared for this scene
None of us were. I was laughing my ass off when playing as Cole having flashbacks. Badass, and hilarious at the same time.
9 years later and still playing gears 3 and watching this cutscene.. made me cry.. reminds me of the days when I played highschool ball..
That song gave my goosebumps, and I couldn't help but smile and cry when he took his helmet out and started walking to the field.
whats the songs name

Did you keep pressing it?
"The train still got the moves, baby!" Is a sentence I still use today
aww poor Cole, never looked at him the same way after this part of the game. NUMBER 83! The Cole TRAIN!!!
yo the cole train doesn't go whoo whoo...it's WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WOOOOOOO! NOW THIS IS MY KINDA SHIT

Bruh when I FIRST saw this I legitimately teared up.
That'd be cool if Thrashball was a real sport The Cole Train runs on whole grain!
And it also has shields I think
Ever heard of the NFL
I think thrashball has its differences
One day maybe we'll see a player of his stature!
@@DRIPDEVILthere is a collectible on the Stadium that is a manual explaining the rules, it's very similar but it has some differences to avoid injuries the ball also is a circle and not an egg
This was one of the best parts of the whole game.
tried hard not to cry at cole's tragic nostalgia, but then i lol'd when the bomb went off
This scene was just one of many in this game that made Gears of War 3 truly EPIC!
I couldn't help but LOL at the way you're made to interact in this scene. It really was something surreal! XD
This one 4 minute sequence has more heart, emotion, and soul than all of Gears 5 squeezed together.
Amen you aint never lie Gears 5 is TRASH
I never understood the story of gears 5 the only thing is the Lore I understood in act 2 that was the only good part then boom just crap
You mean Gears 4
@@AcesBeatz i wouldnt call it trash, but yet, extremist like you always have the first word and less brain.
Shut up Every Gears are Cool games for itself

It happens in gears 5
but it had in the end the iconic fight with the two robots!
This scene is so intense. That's why this game is perfect
I can imagine Cole Sacrificing himself with that song.
This scene made me really sad, but the bomb segment is probably one of my favorite Gears moments.
This flashback scene is so powerful man I’m getting a warm and fuzzy feeling just thinking about it
cole train. one of the best beloved characters gears ever has. can't stop the train.
i like it when he strokes the cougar on its nose :)
This is up there with top cut scenes of gears 😭😭
I remember all the hype around gears 3. Back then I was definitely not prepared for this. Long live number 83 COLE TRAIN BABY
10 years this was uploaded and right now I still love it
This still makes me shed a tear seeing this. Seriously if I could be Isakai-ed for the championship Thrashball game, I would be hyping up the crowd with the sound of a train horn.

They should make a game called coaltion thrashball league
The power of this scene is incalculable for, there's a lot of athletes that miss the game regardless of how they did.
His football name was Terry Tate, office LB. "Whoo whoo!"
Couldn't have said it better myself. This part makes the whole game worth it for me. Damn. Cole Train! You are my Hero!
"COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN! COLE TRAIN!"
This is why the new series won’t compare to the original trilogy, little moments like these are what made the game
Man you haters are incredibly stupid and annoying. Fuck off already

*2013.
The song that plays during cole trains entrance into the stadium always seemed like it brought a little hope into gears of war 3’s story
hanovers favourite son soundtrack by steve jablonsky!
That made this scene even more amazing than it was without it!
I just typed in "cole train NFL flashback" to find this
Maybe becuz Is a flashback?
“Your black guy doesn’t even go wooo”
@@AlejandroKar98k "Or have flashbacks of when he was in the NFL!"
It's summer in Sera, just like GoW2 it was winter.

@TheMuffinRapist no, he wasn't old his football career was interrupted by the locust invasion right?
I GOT THIS GAME FOR 3 DOLLARS
"Score A Point For The Cougars" best MO ever 🤙🤙
I feel so fucking old
I feel old seeing this 7 years into the future. 😂
I want a cole train video game
This game literally wouldn’t be the same without Cole.
It would’ve been badass if he opened his locker and put the pads and helmet on over his armor
Man this brings pack memories best game series I ever played
Ladies and Gentlemen! He's Hanover's favorite son! Number 83! The Cooooooole Train!
All he wanted to do was ball...
The Coalition dev team will never live up to moments like this. Never.
E day trailer came out 👀
I remember this part and I loved it
The most important game of the seventh gen
cole train for life
Cole Train got some big hands to hold a helmet like that
jeezh getting chills down ma back when i watch this
No one can kill Cole Train, not even Cole Train can kill Cole Train! And Cole Train is Cole Train. Did I say Cole Train enough?
I remembered playing this scene… . It was awesome
because in the other games it was winter in this one its summer
3:04 HE FUCKING DABBED
***** I pointed it out because of how cringy it was, calm down dude
***** I'm triggered
I didn't know Cole was a Famous Football Player?
Cakrabayu Budireksa he was the Michael Jordan of thrash ball (the name of the fictional sport), he was famous worldwide. He was so respected than when he enlisted in the army to fight the locust there was a HUUUUGGEEEEE increase of volunteers enlisting to help in the war. Awesome character.

@@BCC-cc8lz Enlistment went up 300% lmao

this is how football players will be in 50 years. huge and runnin on whole grain.
I wish I know how Thrashball works.
It’s based on American football, but I think the rules and mechanics also are similar to this one.
Love how he pets the kittys nose ❤
Esta escena es de manera simple muy épica y sana, la recuerdo cuando completaba la campaña por primera vez.
Cole train baby... Is the best
hands down the best game i ever played
Man this cutscene has more heart than every AAA game out now
A little slapstick when the bomb goes off, but it's all good.
@kAsHMoN311 The beta was in between april and like july, so you cant get him anymore unless he appears in a DLC :(
i want him on my fantasy football team
anyone knows the name of the instrumental in the background
No I think they made it themselves
Too late but it is

After Gears 5 trailer I just had to come back to pay my respects to the real end of GOW
You idiotic haters need to fuck off
why is it that everyone in GoW 3 has no sleeves, was it fashion? even marcus, dom started it in GoW 1
Bruh when will Gears of War have a Thrashball mode!!
@kAsHMoN311 Unlocked only if you played in the GOW3 Beta as of right now.
