I 100% agree with you on that. When I first heard Prescott's speech, I got so hyped up that I gave him the Hoorahs along with the troops who have heard his speech as well.

Q

Hahaha fr

You gotta wonder the kind of mindset it put all the troops in though. Most of these guys were conscripts, fresh recruits, young cadets, etc. and Prescott made them feel like they would all come home as war heroes. In reality he was sending a bunch of inexperienced soldiers into the meat grinder. Sure his speech served to motivate the hell out of the Gears, but his rhetoric had to have resulted in a lot of casualties. Bear in mind, the life expectancy for a regular Joe was slim as all hell during the Locust war, so there weren't many veterans left by this time. Then, considering the casualties the COG took from the Lightmass offensive, morale had to have sunk to rock bottom (pun intended) by that point. Come Hollow Storm, you have a bunch of trigger-happy cowboys drilling deep into the inner hollow with no armor or air support, no way to contact high command, and with literally one order: kill anything that moves. The hollows were unmapped, the troops were ill-equipped, and the chain of command had to have been in complete disarray for the first few hours underground. As much of a badass effort Hollow Storm was, it was only a Pyrrhic victory for the COG in the end. There's no telling how many troops died as a result of poor planning and a lack of communication. It wouldn't surprise me if there were still some troops fighting in the inner hollow by the time Jacinto sank to be honest.

COLE TRAIN BABY! WOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Me too i like the second variant too though

My man 🤝

@RuggerJogs too bad in gears 5 they gave a the cog gear characters names

He just like me fr

@@Veachie Hiding New Hope is a remarkably dumb reason to put your species at risk as for Nexus they didn't seem to know where it is when Hollow Storm started either.

They couldn't regroup and rally for 15 years. The Locust pop up anywhere besides the Jacinto area, so once they gather their strength they can push from there. The Lightmass bomb fucked the Locust up and hurt their infrastructure, which I imagine the COG sees as the Locust being on the backfoot when really, they're more than likely dealing with the lambent infestation. There's tons of hints in this game that there's more going on than the Locust losing to humanity and the tide being turned. Game 3 verifies that with both the Locust and the COG being on the run and barely scraping by in the face of the Lambent hordes.

@@joseffranz3872 Yeah it definitely did not take the COG 15 years to regroup that is utter none sense.

Well, some factors could be: Light mass bomb failed to exterminate the Locust. RAAMs Death. The riftworm.

@@salsaniggas8544 I think the main factors are having no idea where exactly the Locust live underground hence mapping the tunnels in GoW1. Then possibly having to develop the grindlifts to get the Gears underground. I imagine creating a drop pod that digs through vast distances of rock and earth would be difficult especially given the resources at hand.

There's rumors about Fenix Collection

@@pirriu Don't know how much effort they would give for the Gears games but yeah an MCC treatment is worthwhile since lots of people love Horde mode and some of the multiplayer.

Hopefully there’s dlc after Gears 6 where the civil war between the locust and the lambent

It'll come. I don't remember the guys name but a head figure in those kind of decisions/projects stated something along the line of "we are really grinding our gears on this new collection, although I can't tell you what it is". So I mean, obviously.

@@woadblue It would be insane if gears 2-3 get the ultimate edition treatment. But I'd be fine with them looking like this just more updated as well. And also having the entire collection on PC would be nice.

Bit we lost Tai 😔

Coincidentally It's Named Tip Of The Spear, Just Like Halo Reach's Version Of Humanity's Last Desperate Push On The Planet

Right with you with similar memories. "Those memories are all we have left, when the basterds have taken everything else." ~Captain John Pirce

@@hewhobattles8869 I remember how the commercials for the third were pointing that Baird was going to die.

I'm way late to this post but I also had a older best friend named Alex. I think it was around or a bit after Gears of War 3 he enlisted in the Marines like his older brother.I miss them both. I was the youngest in that friend group. We played every Gears up to Gears 3 together.I have a lot of memories of him and his friends teaching me how to play I hold those memories very close to my heart. Gears of War brought a lot of my friends together.I even had a LAN party for my 18th birthday 4 VRs 4 on crts T.V.s I hope Gears comes back with the vengeance on Gears 6.I'm running through the older games on hardcore/insane right now. I love this series to bits!For the COG! 😁

The locust threw everything at them

@@christianweibrecht6555yea they threw their entire army at them

He was meant to represent a deeply religious dude, like honestly some people are like that.

He was trying To be Positive Landown isn't a place to be Sad and in that time people die everyday they were used to it it is sad but they can't cry for everyone

A man would only say that to alleviate his sadness.

He looks sad when he looks back at the end of the scene

Not as weird as that time he liked the glow of locust blood in the emergency sirens light. Tai is a weirdo for sure

Sorry to Budge in but it’s called Operation Hollow Storm.

@@gabrielinukraine9617 oh yeah mb HAHAHA, ty lemme change it

Some suffered a long and painful torture before their deaths too

@@aaronkenyon7112 yeah if im not wrong most of them got captured and turned to brainless slave (as in they broke the cog's soldier mentality to the point where they just cant think for themselves).

@@notdando Based on the state Dom found Maria in, it's not much of a stretch to think that. Tai just mustered enough brain power to blow his own head off

And now look at fortnite, they really went LBQT

@@AppleheadWithIMPADPS when games were badass

Games in this era really loved their greys and earthy browns

@@PristianoPenaldoSUIIII and it was a good thing

2000s games had a real grey and brown tone. Edgier times

my favorite in the series as well, campaign was great and honestly the hoard mode was wild with only the mauler shields as defenses

Gears 1 (2006) not the ugly Ultimate Edition is the best. Gears 2 is better than 4 and forward, but Gears 1 is objectively the best, with Gears 3 beating 2 by multiplayer alone.

Currently replaying them all in order with my brother... Bad news boys, Gears 2 is a fever dream. Barely makes ANY sense, and half of it is only held together by the later games trying to re-interpret it into stuff that *actually* makes sense. Remember, Gears 2 straight up *LIED* about how old the Locust were. Replay the games. Take off the nostalgia goggles. Gears 2 actually might be *objectively* the *worst* story of all the Gears games. And that *includes* Tactics and Judgement. Remember that Judgement is only the red-headed stepchild of the franchise because it ruined the *mechanics* by trying to meta-chase other popular controller layouts and gameplay mechanics. Play Judgement and tune out EVERYTHING EXCEPT the actual *events* of the campaign, such as the dialogue, plot, and general combat encounters, and you'll realize that it doesn't really do that much to tarnish Gears' continuity. Unlike Gears 2... which feels INSANE to say after all these years of Gears 2 being my favorite of the franchise.

4 games in a series released in one generation? Yes.

I remember in 5 I managed to keep one of the Gears alive during the final chapter, atleast up until The Wall part

The COG already obliterated most of humanity with the Hammer of Dawn. They're more than willing to spend lives on poorly planned assaults because they're desperate and they need major shows of military strength to project their power to the rest of humanity. Greed and selfishness and a desire to come out on top never left humanity or the COG, and that hubris is the COG's ultimate downfall. There's no victory in Hollow Storm, no victory in sinking Jacinto, just another disaster in a long string of disasters that responds to failure with spite. The COG's strategies might suck, but they'll fuck you up and drag you down with them.

I think this was a suicide mission

@Nelsondfg2 it was a hail Mary. They couldn't defend Jacinto forever because of the rift worm. They basically threw everything they could muster in a short time and threw it into the battle. Gears of war 2 was basically all or nothing. Gears of war 3 is basically: we threw everything we could into thr fight... but it wasn't enough

@@hammer1349 thats true

It was all they had left, really. They had no other option. It was die on their own doorstep or die on their enemies'.

F

Meanwhile Marcus kills multiple Brumaks and drives a Centaur

Bro fought the good fight though. Sure, he never stood a chance but that didn't stop him from trying.

​@@217adaptiveperspectiveand a damn brumak😂

the time will come buddy i promise

All things cinsidered? This one still holds up remarkably well

They will turn all the blood into jelly make the Hollow and New Hope really bright,and the gun shots will sound like they are from Fortnite believe is better this way

Honestly I agree. I like the dark, grainy look of the older GOW games. I feel like if it was remastered in 4K it would be too sharp and vibrant and wouldn't have that same look. Some games simply don't need a remaster

Classic is better

They shrunk the scale of things, so while everything feels more immediate amd personal it doesn't quite feel like all of humanity is on the line... Yet

They were meant to be giving a bit of horror feeling but without at once being an action game

GOW gone woke, so...

@@GranamyrKhan what does woke mean to you?

​@@woadblueIntroducing modern social "problems" and using them as propaganda to indoctrinate people into believing what they are doing is helping. Recycling has never and will never help yet they put it in packaging of foods like cereal, global warming has been a "problem" since the 30'a in newspapers and would say the ice caps were melting yet almost 100 years later they still say the same. The LGBTQ say they have been treated unfairly yet a lot of people don't have problems with them. If anything, they want more rights than anyone. First they wanted gay rights, they got that, then gay marriages, they got that too. Then they complained about the cake bakers being homophobic. THEN they wanted anyone who mis-gendered and mis pronounded them to be arrested for emotional damage.

He could've told everyone about the lambent way earlier and potentially activated the weapon that destroyed impulsion, lambent and the locust (temporarily). He decided not to do this just to stop the people from freaking out over the lambent and presumably to keep a monopoly over imulsion, leading to millions of unnecessary deaths.

​@@praveeshachapman677 Adam Fenix was already working on that weapon before Prescott even knew, there was just never time to finish it or get it right Even in 3 the thing wasn't finished how he wanted it to be, it was just good enough to take out The Lambent

More like 10 shit loads

I don't think they will

my friend, i am 2 years late but search up 'Xenia Canary", it is an emulator that will allow you to play 360 titles. Ive played gears 1 2 3 and judgement, all on pc with a controller connected.

search up Xenia Canary, it is an emulator that will let you play 360 titles.

Most likely will be Gears 6, before they consider any other kind of project. At the pace they're going with the story? May even be a Gears 7.

The idea of fighting UIR soldiers is kinda bland in my opinion. If I want a man vs man war, I go to COD or battlefield. I'd rather play a gears prequel that explains why Marcus went to jail instead of the Pendulum Wars.

@@denisofGOW I can understand your POV but the Immulsion wars were just a step down than the Locust and Lambent wars in level of brutality. Tai's tribal home village was slaughtered to the last child because they were simply in the way of the UIR's advance

​@@electroeel148 Yeah, the UIR and the COG were brutal during the pendulum wars, but the locusts are 100x more brutal. Just think about it: if a gears about pendulum wars was made, you'd go from fighting grubs, corpsers, brumaks and reavers to a simple man vs man conflict. I think that would be a downgrade. A gears game without locusts Is like a Halo without the covenant. Or a doom without the demons. It would just feel weird and bland for me.

@@denisofGOW I didn't say that they were on equal levels of brutality I said a couple steps apart

arent already in PC?? in the microsoft store

@@mariano98ify just the ultimate edition, 4 and 5.

@@mariano98ify 2 and 3 never made it to PC.

Guess there was a plan to port 2, 3 and Judgement after Ultimate Edition. But Ultimate kind of fail so maybe they scratched that.

There Will be news about it on June this year

What? there where many others,and you can see it

Actually there was a bunch of others that survived too. You can see this in the hollow with the grind lifts coming through the roof

Thousands of Gears managed to make it into The Hollow, although a lot of them died after getting down there. Delta Squad was one of the few Squads that were actually making progress down there.

Apparently Thousands of Gears were involved, I guess they just had other drop-points, and you had the second wave that dropped into Nexus
