Drop a like if you enjoyed watching the Gears of War Iceberg! 0:00 Introduction 1:02 Surface Level 4:33 Shallow Waters 10:51 The Middle of the Iceberg 15:14 Deep Waters 18:54 Dark Waters 24:14 Below the Iceberg 27:17 The Abyss 29:24 Conclusion

Judgement would've been better if you got more than 2 weapons. Gears 5 would've been alot more fun if they got rid of half of the time you play as kate

As a kid I always thought it was kinda weird that in gears 1 act 5 was so short and always wanted to fight the brumak that chases you from Marcus's house and when I finally got to play it in the UE....I have never been so wrong in my life. That God damn T-rex on insane is literally insane I'm glad 6 year old me never got to fight it lol

Amazing video, I thought I was decently versed in Gears trivia. Never knew Gears had things like a cereal, class oriented combat ideas, and a friggin Locust dragon. You think you’ll make a follow up video to this? Maybe mention things like the the OG roundhouse curbstomp, ideas or an Onyx Gaurd game, etc? There’s so many interesting things Gears has to offer

Ive heard that the reason for the grinder being removed from beast mode is because of technical issues on certain maps. strange because grinders seem to function fine even when modded in versus.

The cut content of gears 3 is probably the most interesting in the whole series. The cut weapons from the novels, the ps3 build, those two whole dlc campaigns that were once going to be in the game, all the cut levels, enemies and maps. It's a shame the guy who uploaded all those videos took them down. My personal favourite was probably the dual-wielding boltok kantus.

God I love gears

i voted SAVE CARMINE. OF COURSE i DID.

U forgot where Marcus and dom wears a Theron suit to fit in with the locust to save a friend or something but it’s a deleted scene and didn’t make the cut

The og games had to of had the best glitches of any top rated games ever. The skydiving and kung fu flipping were so crazy to me as a kid

Marcus was placed in prison for treason. He didn't serve with distinction in the pendulum wars

Now that's an Iceberg Explained video I've been waiting for!

Excellent video, and very well researched! I like to think I'm fairly well versed in Gears lore and development history. There were only five I didn't know about: Ukkon's pet, Hive Mode, Gears of War in Halo Forge, Brumak ammo carrier, and the Palace Guard sword.

Finally someone made an iceberg video about the game. Gears is my favorite game series!!! The palace guard sword looks sick! Honestly could have been used by the palace guards in gears 3 and work like a cleaver.

Definitely going to try that Carmine campaign mod I too hope we eventually get a gears of war pendulum wars prequel

🔥❤️ thanks for adding me in the video!

What a great video, Abz - mnay thanks mate! Must've taken ages with all the research and edits - really impressive and enjoyable stuff. Cheers fella!

Marcus had a cap on this whole time with no waves lol

I've been waiting for someone to make one and I'm glad it was you.

Very well done video! 👌🏽👌🏽 Lots of lore I didn’t know about!

Just when I thought I knew everything about Gears, you've gone and surprised me! Great video, I'm definitely gonna check some of these easter eggs out

u nailed it dude, i played all of these in their prime and it was just the best i’m glad you and explaining it to all

You should had put operation 6 gears 5 in this cuz it gave every gears fan ptsd

Needed this. Great video

Great video as a hard core player there was quite a bit I didn't know keep up the good work!

Very good, lots of good trivia here.

Thanks I can't wait to watch this video

Bloody loved this video mate! Incredible work!

I had an idea to make a video like this but I didn't know much beyond the lore, so I'm glad somebody made it

I love your content so much Abz!

If there truly will be a Fenix collection, perhaps the unreleased Gears of War 3 maps will be finished and releases as free dlc (MCC style)

I believe that Troika Gunner wasn't used only because of bulletproof helmet. The whole selling point of this character would either be too OP by being the same an in singleplayer, or wouldnt make sense, "why its helmet is bulletproof in single, but in multi it isnt?". Great Video btw.

It’s was worth the wait I was reading the books when a got a notification and was hyped

I like the concept of talking facts then going into theories and crazier theories lol. Great video

Clayton Carmine is immortal because we bought a shirt over a decade ago. Doesn't mean they can't take everything away from him, like Liz

I’m loving the content bro. You’re the gold standard for Gears lore!

Lots of interesting info. Nice job.

As a massive gears fan, for me the franchise is GoW1-3 after that it has a lot of connectivity issues and I'm not fond at all with the direction The Coalition is taking the franchise to... It was very dear to me and in all honesty gow1-3 wrapped it up perfectly, it never hit the same way as when Cliffy B made em ...

Still think it's crazy that Lo Mang appeared in this - that's Li Hai Tao aka The Toad of The Five Venoms! Love him in Lion Vs Lion, Five Venoms, Invincible Shaolin & Two Champions of Shaolin - he was in a ton of other Venom and SB titles but those are my personal favourites. They wasted him in the Ip Man series.

Great video!

Awesome video I enjoyed it

I did not know most of dark waters and down. Cool video

I remember cheering so hard when carmine survived in gears of war 3. I bought that avatar tee!

I definitely bought a “carmine must die” shirt cause it felt fitting to keep the theme of them dying back then.

hey abz I wish I could watch this right now but I'm at work but I already know this will be a banger

A note on the cereal. You can see boxes of cereal on the ground at the last car of the train at the end of Gears 1. I’m unsure if it appears elsewhere in the game but I thought the free pillow was cute.

Awesome video! Learned a handful of things about gears here, biggest one for me is Grains of war had no idea that existed I wonder what it tasted like haha

Little known fact on Gears 1 multiplayer. There is a way to glitch the number of players on one team. Normally 4v4, I once joined a game where we had 5 players on one team. I actually recorded video proof of it myself but must have deleted the video for some reason.

I remember that Carmine campaign, I was fully on the Save Carmine campaign, I was tired seeing the boys in our favorite family, die gruesome deaths!

Adding to the Clayton Carmine fate part, they also sold real shirts at Comic Con with either choice.

Still kind if turned off that the locust didnt exist underground as their own entity for thousands of years. All that amazing atmosphere in ancient looking and evil infrastructure... and it all was made quickly by creatures created in a lab. Someone messed up with the writing there. 🤦🏻‍♂️

When I got my Xbox, i don’t know how long ago, I first got gears 4, been a fan ever since

The nostalgia in the video hurts and fills my heart at the same time. Gears is and always be the best game I ever played😍

I absolutely LOVE gears of war and the gears lore but damn I didn’t know over half of this list. I truly wish the coalition would just give us the fenix collection that’s been rumored for years

knew it was gonna be a banger also is this the video you've been hinting at?

Great job

My man's has all the best games as his intro and has aot theme playing over it, certified pimp right here men

Damn that intro was straight fire.

I think the mini rift worm would’ve been awesome

Amazing channel mate, best of luck with it

Incorrect. The death of gears wasn’t because of ignoring pros, it was catering to them. How can any new players learn a game like gears before they give up? Insane comment.

time to test my knowledge

Yo awesome gears iceberg I grow up playing the series and I have a question? That intro music. Shit fire!! What's it called?

Why did i hear Marcus' Voice screaming " WHAT THE F*** IS THAT FLYING THING"

damn, finally a gears iceberg that isn't in spanish

I have the board game! Man spent so many nights as a kid 1v1’ing people on canals 😂

Awesome awesome thank thank lord thank thank goodness for all that

At the time I didn’t know there was a fundraiser going on but I definitely would’ve bought save carmine

I bought the save Carmine shirt

I do wonder if Unreal Warfare had some connection to the Unreal or Unreal Tournament games, it most likely had, but lore wise it would have been nice if Gears of War was revealed to be in the same universe as Unreal.

Really interesting Gears of War Iceberg King Abz! As to my thoughts on 9:52 when The Coalition (or Microsoft?) dropped the "of War" as it did with Gears 5. To my personal opinion when the Gears 5 trailer first came out in June 2018, I was excited to see the game. But it feels weird to see the title called "Gears 5" instead of "Gears of War 5", even though somewhere between within the same year of 2018 or early 2019, they've stated that it is *still* a Gears of War franchise when the "of War" is removed. To answer the question, I find it unnecessary to drop the "of War" in the game titles or its comic and book series coming from The Coalition or Microsoft's decision. To look at the evidence in 9:35 when Rod was still in The Coalition at the time, he wanted to try to modernize the series by dropping the "of War" into just "Gears" in short. To my knowledge, it is understandable, but as I said, it feels unnecessary. But for us, Gears of War fans, calling it "Gears" for short as we may or may not want to say the full name from time to time, like Gears x (x is used as a number) for example. Or Gears 2, Gears 3, etc. But hey, that's my personal thoughts coming from the fans of Gears referring "Gears of War" name to its short term, "Gears". But I personally think they should bring back the "of War" in the next game as it may feel awkward to call it "Gears 6" (if that's the next game) in the box art or artwork related. But anyways, love the iceberg, and keep up the great work Abz! (P.S. sorry if this feels like a Short-Answer Question or one-paragraph essay when I took AP US History class due to the amount of writing we did. lol)

Ohhhh yes, Gears of Iceberg that's what i like🤌

I just found you and your gains yo, you’re gonna be looking like the buff ass doods in gears soon enough

Epic didn't release the 360. Pretty good Gears overlook. I miss this series being at the top.

The "bionicle of war" figurines actually made me lol. Wtf are those faces ahahaha

21:30 honestly pretty cool that the enemy would try to weaken you by hitting you during a chainsaw duel.

*what is up g*

The part with the brumark added to pc, you read word for word from the gears of war pc fandom page you didnt even bother changing any of the words, why?

19:46 TC need to bring that mod into reality.

God we need a coalition collection on PC ASAP.

killing the golden chicken also allows you to pick up the cluckshot

I was there, I got my gears 3 shirt, I voted to keep carmine alive!

Don't forget about the glitches

I feel like the grinder was just to strong he could mow down humans and fortifications like nothing.

The carmine's are Like the Kinney of gears of war

Gears 5 had a fps glitch in the campaign

Why not one ever bring up wall bouncing probs the most important out of gears

Man, in highschool gears 2 and 3 were a daily goated. Now adays it’s a distant memory playing this game at all. Only played a few games of gears 4 and 5 and wasn’t impressed

Save carmine! I wish there had been a way to save izzy too.

Did you say gears of war 3 is coming to steam?

A bit of a suggestion, if you want to make vids like this, you should structure them. Alot of the topics you discuss have no real flow between them, jumping from multiplayer features, to in depth story stuff with no rhythm. You should structure these, and then make time stamps to individual sections, like, "multiplayer" "campaign" "trivia" etc.

TC should’ve brought back the reaper as a ToD skin for karn, big miss in my opinion

Month ago I became a Gears of war fan. I'm happy that people are sill talk about this franchise

No thank you for the great gears videos

this iceberg video feels like its too all over the place

As a birthday gift Epic cancelled the Gears Kinect game. Thank you Epic. Lol

I chose Save Carmine and I don’t regret it

I thought Adam fenix made the hammer of dawn?

I’d buy a game if they said the 2✌️ is back

I bought carmine must die because I liked the colors more
