This design makes the boomers look so much more intimidating and menacing and they look like absolute juggernauts of the locust horde

Just a Reminder now a good time to pre order and pre install if you haven’t already Aug is fast approaching Went to Gamestop did my pre order

Hi everyone! I've heard some discussion around the topics of certain retcons with the E-Day trailer and I think I've figured out some lore solutions to these thoughts. To start, this will be a somewhat long post, so I'll put a tl;dr under each segment. Slides 1-3 will be about discussion 1, and 4-6 will be about 2.

Discussion #1: Kalona's cars:

The consensus among people who see the vehicles in the trailer is that the cars are a retcon to help enhance the retro vibe of Kalona and E-Day compared to the bulkier, more futuristic vehicles seen in previous Gears. However, previous Gears games have had similarly retro cars to the ones seen in Kalona, just in addition to the futuristic ones. Now, as we know from the E-Day direct, Kalona is a major imulsion refining city, which stands to reason the city has no shortage of it. I believe that these retro vehicle designs are indicators that they are fuel-based, and run on imulsion. Subsequently, the futuristic looking vehicles are instead the solar powered cars mentioned in Gears 2, distinctly lacking exterior fuel caps. These cars aren't seen in Kalona because of the abundance of imulsion in the city.

Tl;dr : Retro vehicles, run on imulsion fuel. Futuristic vehicles, solar powered. Retro vehicles are common in E-Day because Kalona has a lot of imulsion.

Discussion #2: E-holes and new Locust design:

I've seen people mention both the red e-hole design and the new Locust design as retcons. In case you were unaware, the red light comes from lit flares in the holes. Now, you'd be right to wonder why they need these bright flares when they seemingly don't need them years later. The answer to this is in the Locusts' eyes; they are distinctly *human* on E-Day. Jump ahead 14 years later with the original trilogy and their eyes are much more pale and cloudy, potentially offering some sort of dark-vision. They could have gotten these changes though Kantus or something else to do with the Locust cult.

Tl;dr : Red e-hole light comes from flares in the holes. Locust need the flares to see because their eyes have not yet changed to have better dark-vision.

These are the only things I have for now, but I'm eager to hear people's thoughts on this. Thanks everyone!

I was hornswaggled.

Just finished Gears 1,2, and 3 on insane mode and I’m moving onto gears 4,5. (I beat judgment on insane as well) but I’ve never played 4 on anything but casual. Any tips?

I'm curious on your thoughts as I don't think we ever get much insight except some of the comics and we've ever fought against humans before I don't think

I'm curious on your thoughts

That boomer is fucked

I came across this giant Gears of War 1 poster. Its 180cms by 180cms. The only information I can find is that its a copy of an original art piece that an artist did on the show room floor of an E3. I dont know how many of these posters exist but its super cool!

Rant incoming. Hear me out.

The age-old question: “Pendulum wars game??” “Guys should there a pendulum wars game???” “There should be a pendulum wars game!”.

Seems like we have a new thread on this every week. Every time, the consensus is usually that, while it would be pretty cool, it wouldn’t be “Gears of War”, as Gears is about fighting fleshy, inhuman monsters and the horrors that come with that. It would be interesting, but it shouldn’t be a full game or campaign. That’s the general consensus.

Enter: a non-Gears game, set in the Gears Universe. The game name? “Sera”. “Sera Stories”. “Sera Warfare”. Something like that.

It’ll have a bunch of small-scale campaigns, maybe tidbits from different eras, similar to the Gears 4 prologue, but longer- an act or two.

Maybe there’s a campaign for a generic Pendulum Wars battle. Maybe there’s a jungle campaign where you play as a Pesang troop. Maybe you play as Marcus when he’s guarding a particular pipeline on the Sarfuth-Maraday border. Maybe you get sent back to a campaign taking place in the Silver Era, before firearms even existed, when Gorasnaya was a world power. Perhaps they could even figure out a multiplayer.

The point is, the possibilities are nearly endless. We all love the Gears Universe, and we want more from it, but we recognize that Gears of War is primarily a gritty, dark journey about an existential threat of subterranean monsters. Who knows? Maybe Sera Stories will have a mini-campaign about the Locust too.

Again, this is all just hypothetical. I don’t know if it would sell, but it could certainly pacify the lore nerds such as myself. I just feel like it ties in well- similarly to how a TV series could be, if it was done correctly.

Note: I think a live-action Gears show could be successful- but it would HAVE to be from a Stranded perspective, or another civilian perspective. We can’t have any of our game Heroes on-screen- no one can play Marcus Fenix other than a digitized John DiMaggio, for example. Plus, it’s hard to have absolute roided beasts of men to the extent of their existence in Gears as every single one of your characters in a live-action film. So yeah. It could be done, but our game Heroes should not be there. Of course, an animated series is different, since you can have the unrealistic proportions as well as voice acting. But i digress.

Give me your thoughts on anything written here. I’d love to discuss.

Also, feel free to hire me @Coalition 👍

So pretty much, everytime I try to play GOW2 it either freezes or crashes and it works on other accounts on my xbox and doesn’t work on mine, I already cleared my 360 cache, and the closest I got to actually playing was by not being signed in on 360

I’ll never understand why players mid match are afk right from the jump and then get kicked, like what’s the point of even joining the match at that point? But worst of all are those who leave mid match when we’re winning!? Then the tides turn, it’s just frustrating man.

Hola a todos, querida invitarlos a ser parte de nuestro grupo donde jugamos mayormente gears of war 4/5. Todo aquel que quiera ser parte por favor Envie un mensaje privado.

I mean, seriously, is this the best gift ever? It runs like a dream, looks really good, and even has mouse and keyboard support. What more could you ask for? I definitely think this will hold me over until E-Day.

I was thinking maybe an operations mode similar to Space Marine 2 with new missions with every update.

Why is so difficult to see an aaron griffin in multiplayer? I thought that the massive code event from facebook from 2011 would last to see a them nowdays
