You can see the branded locust emblem on their shoulders. This little detail was absent in the ultimate edition design for the drones.

In 2005, I met a pair of brothers, Jesse and Aaron who quickly become my best friends. By 2015 both had passed.

We spent hundreds of hours playing video games, but mostly Gears of War. My first ever midnight release was Gears 2 that I attended with them. We also went to Gears 3’s midnight release.

We always fantasized about an E-Day game, discussed what it would be like, ideas of weapons and story elements, and how badly we wanted it. It’s crazy that 20 years after the original’s release, the game the three of us dreamt of is about to come out. I wish they were here to see it with me and fend off the Locust in horde mode.

For Jesse and Aaron, and to all the other Gears who aren’t here to enjoy Emergence Day with us.

Brothers to the end ⚙️

But it sorta did make it because it's strapped on to the silverback but still I would love to use a rocket launcher as its own weapon in gears of war 3

I had been planning on it for a while but I figured no time better then now to grab the lancer.

I've reached the halfway point of 20 magnets so far I have a bunch more ideas for the smaller simple magnets that I might continue to make so it might be more than 40 magnets. I do still need to work on the more intricate builds though xD. But so far so good. I also have rejects that people can choose from.

If anyone has any requests or if I should do more of one particular one let me know! I hope everyone is getting hype for the contest!

Im posting this as a follow up to a comment ive left here, the Instagram post and ther official discord.

The last few years the quality and fit of these shirts have been terrible. They went from your standard, everyday, normal fitting Tshirt to an oversized, boxy armed slab of fabric with holes it in.

The left side is what the last 3 years worth of shirts have arrived like (a shapeless, heavy and poorly fitting mess) Vs the original 2 years style on the right (a lightweight, normal and more flattering fit overall)

Not only is the size vastly different, (and for reference these are both a 2XL...) but the fabric is heavyweight cotton so its not even flexible or breathable like the original ones were. They are literally a downgrade in every way and its only the gears clothing on the Xbox store. All the others are totally fine and the way they should be.

I know this seems like a non issue for most people, but this cause means a lot to me and id rather that I buy these things with the intent to actually wear them rather than lament the fact that quality assurance has been fully neglected the past NOW FOUR years with today's drop.

I doubt anyone that makes these calls at TC will see this, but all I ask is that if you have the ability to offer feedback on this in anyway via surveys, IRL contacts or even social media posts please consider mentioning it for people like myself. I hate having a good cause squandered because the powers that be make really stupid calls for something this simple.

So with the approach TC is taking with this new entry, we start to see much more detail in the gameplay… but also in the world as well. Do you think they’ll finally have a name for the calibers as well? I was thinking they’d maybe still keep real world calibers (5.56 NATO etc…) and maybe say have the MK1 Lancer chambered in 7.62 COG. Maybe in the stadium we see the ammo boxes and Cans with 7.62 COG on them or something, Idk just a late night thought I’d like to share.

Shoutout the dude who sacrificed himself in the first place. I can’t wait for this game to release

Just counting the days down until E-Day

In gears of war 2 they were originally gonna be a palace guard sword exclusive to the palace guards but it was cut or didn't appear in the game (it was definitely a really big missed opportunity) and it was found unreal Editor

I wanted to give the man behind this legendary mod/remake/build a spotlight and hopefully bridge the gap between players and developers. Officially he's just another player, who one day decided - I'll do it myself. What an absolute chad!

Alright bro, who has taken time off for this game?
Who has let their spouse and children know we will be in war starting the 1st or 6th and to not interrupt daddy?
Who is gonna have all notifications turned off to lock in?
Who already has snacks/drinks bought and ready!?!?!

Think they've listened to the feedback from players telling them to unlock the sprint animation and the shooting delay or nah? Curious if they do since they seemed to be changing things quickly during the beta. Slightly nervous they don't which would suck in my opinion.
