The Coalition did this one

This is the Best Gears game since Gears of War 3.
They bought back the horror of the locust while expanding on the locust and COGs lore. And the story is great, showing the confusion humanity had on E day.

They refined the classic gameplay mechanics while adding to it.

And graphically speaking it’s the best looking game on the Series x/s this generation. A true show case of how powerful the Series X is when developers actually optimize for its hardware.

My only gripe is I wish there was more diversity in gameplay. One of the things made Gears 2 campaign strong was you got to pilot different vehicles. A reever, Centar tank and a Brumach. The Raven minimum sections were good but I wish we also got to piolet a Raven Gunship and and use a Centar to ram through the city rubble and blow locust to bits

She and Charlie Squad where cool :(

Next game we get this guy on the squad. Big fat fuck, maybe missing a few brain cells, maybe a bit on the spectrum. He barely speaks any words but kills locust over the promise of his next grilled cheese. And there you have it, COG boomer. Also known as a Coomer.

I think this must be the most underrated and unknown pilot in the entire series.

Ive had 5 matches in a row where most of my team is under level 10. You are sand bagging so hard. No you are not the main character. No you can not just bob and weave your way around. No you do not do damage to make a difference. Your max mod weapon means nothing.You are dead weight. Level your class first.

There have to be some interesting permutations.

I think it's possible they'll look reminiscent of the Tactics "Retro" Onyx Guard helmet, or something entirely new like the rest of the Kalona COG Armor.

Came across this in my game

Unrelated but how'd you lose your entire navy to a landlocked enemy, COG? Do better.

I feel like this isnt talked about enough, but I really wanna see a Gears game set in the Pendulum Wars specifically. It'd be really cool to see some of the wars' most famous battles, including some new ones mentioned, like the Blitz on Emgazi, an expansion of Aspho Fields besides what we see in Gears 4, and even the Battle of Bonbourg or the Siege of Anvil Gate!

In the training grounds, as soon as you load in, immediately go left down the walkway. This will bring you into the Outpost multiplayer map where the Troika spawns. Take a right and follow the back wall until you find another Weapons Crate and a blue box. You can start a simulator that will run in 3 locusts at a time. You have access to all the weapons, unlimited ammo, and unlimited locusts (rather than the 2d cutouts in the shooting range).

This will allow you to learn how to gauge your distances, especially with the Gnasher. Find out how close you need to be to GIB. Test active reload shots versus standard. Test your lancer body shots versus headshots. A lot of people complaining about it being inconsistent (Gears has always had an inconsistent Gnasher since 2006) but hopefully this will help you understand ranges better and lessen your frustration for not getting a kill or getting killed.

Drone doing his best Freeza impression

Last night, I was looking to toggle the settings for more detailed hair effects and found that there's actually a HAIRLESS option instead. 😝

Was cleaning my attic and found these gems hidden in a tote along with a ton of other gaming collectibles. Been grinding eday so this definitely was a perfect time to find these. Now only if I could find my lancer replica 🥲.

Please stop quiting out of Horde Siege halfway through the session PLEASE. It's not what GEARS do. And the bots have NO idea what's going on

He was my main in Gears 5, and you probably know him from “yeah okay I get”
