That battle of Aspho Fields was the end of the pendulum wars, and where Carlos Santiago (Doms older brother, Marcus’ best friend at the time) sacrificed himself to save Marcus from advancing UIR troops. We’ve also already seen a piece of that battle as well in the intro to Gears 4, Dom and Hoffman led a squad of Commandos to steal the plans for the Hammer of Dawn while the main infantry of the COG (including Marcus and Carlos) were fighting a battle as a diversionary tactic to buy the Commando squad time. I know I just fully geeked out but just wanted to give you insight 🤣
Nah man, geeking out is warranted I read most of the book leading up to 3 and forgot about Doms older brother I wonder how fresh that wound is in this one
@@Blerdcalibur lol It can’t be more than weeks old my guy if I’m correct there was a 6 week gap between the end of the pendulum wars and E Day, my biggest hope is they run a prequel trilogy maybe based on some of the stuff in the comics (which by all accounts) are brutal 🤣 Gears 1 was dark the comics were for lack of a better word “fvcked”
@NickCC4823 I've legit wanted a prequel with Helena Stroud since everyone in lore hypes her up as this super soldier badass that Anya has to live up too
The hammer of dawn was a thing during e day but was used as a last resort when the locust were over 3:18 whelming everything the cog had. So they denied the locust control by essentially nuking every stronghold. First the cog used it to slow the locusts advances and defend the cities but eventually during e day they just used it all the way destoying all their strongholds hoping it destroyed the locust
As a 40 year old man I cried over this trailer ffs, Gears Of War was part of my childhood.
i think this is the first time Markus had encountered a Locust. which is why he was struggling. he was Rookie
Dude the younger people don’t understand what this means to us OG Xbox gamers. The nostalgia . I’m ready to fight again
that feeling of wall bouncing on someone and getting a headshot will never not be the best feeling ever
@@Blerdcalibur gears is back WOOOO
I cried watching this trailer
Same Dom and music 🎶!! Come on now 😂
Same.
U and me both buddy. Let’s get ready to fight the locus!
I was in my peak gaming ability back in gears 1&2 😂 top 200 in the world. Time to see if I still got it in the tank at this age. Nostalgia 101
Same I was no 2 warzone. Can't wait to get back on this and see all the old school gow heads.
oh my thumbs and wrist are definitely shot lmao that early arthritis done kicked in

Damn we might see a part of the game where dom's children die and maria gets taken away.
@farre2409 lord I'm not ready

love the breakdown bro,so excited for Gears Eday
Can''t wait to play as young marcus and dom
I like every gears even 5 i love that story so much aswell
I might have to play it then after 4 I kind of fell out of love with the series
@@Blerdcalibur I know alot of people did most people left after judgement
Gears 5 is awful. Nothing beats the first three Gears games.
Gears one for sure had some crazy energy with multiplayer. TH-cam montages, clan battles, shotty battles, etc.
the almost-decade long wait has finally paid off

I like your reaction. It has been a long time ago since i was excited for a new game like i was when i was a teenager.
Textbook definition of a ride or die. Back in the day Gears was Fn cinema. Hopefully this is more of the same.
Love your reaction
Well said
I’m 34 and agreed with you
They finally bringing the real back. Halo alone isn't enough for me to get Xbox again but Gears and Halo I might have to cop
I never liked Halo, Gears Of War on the other hand is a completely different story.
