I have played the game several times and have never heard the Gears of War song by Megadeth, despite what I've read about the song being made for the game, does it actually appear in the game itself? Or just a tribute? 68.32.154.156 05:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
There's been some misconception of the song. The song Gears of War originally had a different name, but Dave Mustaine played GOW and changed the NAME of the song ONLY. The song has nothing to do with the game itself, it's just titicularly dedicated. 85.210.39.15 18:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
There's a glaring inaccuracy under "Act 5" claiming that the lightmass bomb was never mentioned prior to this act. That is flat wrong as the colonel says "we now have the lightmass bomb" to the Lt. in the first act after the prison rescue. MartinDuffy 02:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Did you know that the $100 million USD factoid listed at the top of the page for the last month or so was actually unproven? The original source it had said nothing of the sort, but you'll see various gaming fansites using that information now that it has been on Wikipedia. I also recently found references that led to forums. People posting on discussion forums is no way to say that a majority of people are experiencing disc problems and the like, but that doesn't stop people from actually editing the article and putting that information in there, possibly to drive away sales or point out personal issues. I had all sorts of disc read errors with my early Xbox 360 models, and it took 3 replacements to get a good one that didn't create problems. </end rant> -- Jecrell 14:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
According to www.mygamercard.net [1], the 2 million mark of sales was made in 6 weeks, not 2 weeks, as stated. Could someone clarify this and confirm this and change it appropriately? -- Nighthawkzx 15:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
At the multiplayer section, the write up on the co-op is seemingly inaccurate. To a person who has not played GOW, he/she will think that "If either player is downed while on these split paths, both characters will effectively die and co-op players will have to load the previous checkpoint.". This is inaccurate, as the surviving player does not die, per-se, but rather, he gets reverted to the checkpoint with whoever he was playing with.-- Nighthawkzx 15:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
While I didn't put up the notice in the trivia section; it turns out that Wikipedia doesn't like trivia sections to begin with. Toss out the garbage and merge the important information with the rest of the article. -- Jecrell 10:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
The achievement trivia is constantly being removed and readded. I'd like some explanations on why this is such an important issue. Do these references need to be in the article at all? -- Jecrell 05:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
While it's not an Achievement, on the first level you face the Kryll, when Anya tells you to "Head down the ally to your left", Dom remarks "It's Pitch Black out there!" and Marcus says "Huh..." This is a reference to the Kryll's similarity to the creatures in the movie Pitch Black.
Right, the trivia section is dead now; there's no reason to bring it back up again. So if anyone else working for the concreteness of this article sees it re-emerging I'd like the important bits merged with the article and the rest removed. Jecrell 13:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Gears currently holds the #14 spot on Gamerankings.com, with an average score of 95.0%, on their list of games with at least 20 reviews, which is their standard.
Lead Designer Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski cited Resident Evil 4's quick pacing and emphasis on "memorable moments" as a major influence on Gears of War in an interview with Game Informer, and promised the game would have the presentation of this game be cinematic in scope, and chaotic, destructible environments would be an important aspect of gameplay.
Though they repeatedly call him a colonel the officer who talks to you after you escape the prison has stars for insignia which represents a general ranking in the U.S., a colonel's insignia is an eagle. Just a little thing that I noticed, I would have thought that the developers could keep the insignia straight.
This game takes place on a fictional planet similar to Earth. Their ranks could simply be different. For all we know the highest rank in their military is 4 Gears not 4 Stars.
The word "unanimous" should be removed from the reception section and should be replaced with "mostly". Unanimous would mean that every single critic in the world loved the game... which basically is impossible since I found a critic that didn't by easily searching google - [2] - as soon as this page is unprotected - I will remove it... No game should use the word unanimous unless you are talking about a specific population of critics and you are sure that each individual in that population completely agrees. emceepotential 16:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You just reverted the huge GameFAQs-style game guide list back into the article. Please don't do that. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 20:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Alright, let's hammer this one out now. Most of the equipment in Gears of War isn't notable in themselves, being vamped up versions of existing ballistic-based weapons. However, I choose to note several weapons that are uncommon or unseen in other games of the same genre.
The rest of the weapons are, to my interpretation, pretty generic as far as weapons go (grenade launcher, sniper rifle, shotgun, etc.). I believe the above three weapons deserve mention for the following reasons:
Your turn. Why shouldn't they be included? -- Scottie theNerd 06:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Chainsaw bayonets have been done. They've even been done in first-person shooters before (the Chaos Marine enemies in Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior). It's also just a gun with a bayonet. Crossbows with exploding bolts aren't new, either. Calling in tactical airborne strikes isn't new, either. (Ghost Recon 2 comes to mind.)
If you have to argue on the talk page to establish importance, you've failed to establish importance. Make the article speak for itself; explain how these weapons make GOW different or exemplify GOW's gameplay or artistic style, and back it up with references. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 06:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
If you're planning to write this based on your personal experience with the game, that's pretty much the definition of original research, and I'd advise you to reconsider. The description of the taste and texture of various types of cheese isn't based on personal experience of the author in cheese, but in descriptions in the sources on which the article rests.
I wasn't criticizing your decision to take this to talk, but rather the fact that the text, as written, failed to establish importance. You say these differences from other games are noteworthy; I say you need to back up these assertions in some way other than "Well, I can't think of any games that have these features." - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 07:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
If we are to have a weapons section, I'd like it if we noted the more unique weapons with references as necessary. If that's not possible, I think it should just be summarized or merged with the gameplay section. -- Jecrell 07:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
-- AllTeam november 30 2006
The manual establishes that such-and-such weapons are in the game. What you need are references to back up the claim that such-and-such weapons are unique or important. Reviews would seem to be the first place to look. EGM's Afterthoughts series is always good for an after-release perspective from a developer. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 05:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The lancer itself as a weapon isn't notable nor is it's bayonet. The notability of the lancer is the fact that the bayonet uses a rag-doll physics engine. What that means is that based on how and where it is used, the environment and the "victim" are affected. After you kill an enemy with the chainsaw, the body can be moved post-mortem by running in to it. If you play the game and pay attention, the head is in two parts, like if you took string cheese and split it down to the middle. Also, the blood spray sticks to the walls and onto characters. In certain parts when you use it multiple times (this is especially noticiable in the wretches' sections) the blood drips off of the player and surrounding enemies. This is one of the first games to use the system for such purposes, and the chainsaw's use of rag-doll engines is not seen in any other game.

That's the significance all together. The lancer is one of the first weapons in which the game's physics engine has been applied to. Normally, the rag doll physics engines have only been applied to the game in general (it first appeared in the original Ghost Recon). True, the chainsaw itself isn't new, but how the physics engine is applied to it is. The head stays in two parts after death and it reacts as such. The physics engine only applies to the other guns the same way as the engine always does in games. Shoot something, and it moves to react to the shot. But chainsaw it, and something totally new happens. Kea vader 04:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
We're talking about of a chainsaw bayonet in the context of a video game, not some random unit of a nerdy wargame.-- 203.88.245.230 02:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I think the lancer is notable because it is the iconic weapon of the series. It's the main weapon, the standard.

There was a sentence along the lines of "some critics say Cole is a token black character." I removed this because (a) it's a weasel sentence, (b) this is not a well-known or documented opinion and (c) the Cole character was clearly based on the existing Terry Tate character.

This is probably a minor issue, but the camera angle should shift to perhaps a 75-degree angle when your character takes cover. When you're hiding behind cover, there's no way you should have a clear view of what's in front of the cover you are hiding behind. Your line of sight should be somewhat parralel to the object you are leaning against, allowing you to partially see what's in front of the cover and what's behind the cover. Only when you pull the left trigger to pop out of cover should the camera angle shift to the panoramic view of what's in front. The biggest flaw of the current cover system is NOT the ability to see what's in front of the cover when in reality you shouldn't be able to, but the INABILITY TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE COVER, when in reality you should have some sort of peripheral vision; in other words, the camera angle should provide A MORE APPROPRIATE BLIND SPOT when using cover. This just dawned on me when I was playing on Xbox live and was able to sneak up on someone while he was taking cover due to the inaccurate blind spot.

How come there isn't anything on glitches or any gaming issues with the game?
Most common one is the mic issue. People join a game and can't hear other players. People try several things to fix it in-game, greatly interfering with the gameplay.
Then there are glitches on maps. One is at the Fuel Depot where on the hanger side you can get ontop of a crate, and can't get down from it. If playing execution, it is impossible to be killed by any of the standard weapons. AJFederation 09:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
"If playing execution, it is impossible to be killed by any of the standard weapons." ... That's not a glitch, that's execution mode. There would be no difference between Warzone and Execution if "standard weapons" could kill. 81.153.114.126 01:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
The recent patch resolved the issue so it's not worth mentioning now.
About the crate issue - it's not an issue. You can still kill a player with standard weapons as he's standing on the crate; all you have to do is down him 3 times. In Execution you must either be killed by a headshot, explosion, shotgun, execution style (close up shot/melee while you're down), curb stomp or being downed too many times.
Did you know that John Di Maggio who supplies the voice for Marcus Fenix, also supplied the voice for the loveable robot Bender from Futurama. Gundam94 15:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Who removed the criticism section? Just because you're a fan of GoW, and you want to remove any trace of criticism, doesn't mean that there is no criticism. BTW, just in case someone starts getting angry at me, I am in fact a fan of Gears of War, but it annoys me that there are people who mess it all up. If you want to pretend that there are no people who don't like Gears of War, fine, but don't come and ruin this article. -- Ras29 09:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
In the Execution gametype, you can kill a downed opponent with medium to long-range fire. To do so you must either pour a lot of fire from about medium range into your opponent or shoot them in the head.
Gore Ghoul 21:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I wrote it here because the Execution gametype is described inaccurately. Isn't the whole point of an encyclopedia to give accurate information? Gore Ghoul 19:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

This probably isn't too big of an issue, but i am feeling that there should be a section on gears of war weapons in this article somewhere, nothing too major, just thinking it should happen. Boomshot 7:59, 8 January 2007
Already covered - Gears of War features a small variety of weapons, following other first-person shooter weapons sets with assault rifles, shotguns, pistols and sniper rifles One of the most notable weapons is the game's signature firearm, the Lancer (an assault rifle with a chainsaw bayonet). Single player missions usually carry over weapons from previous missions, while multiplayer matches provide players with a smoke grenade, Lancer, Snub pistol, and Gnasher shotgun, while more powerful weapons such as explosive crossbows and grenade launchers can be found in strategic locations.
All the detail required for a general readers encyclopedia. -- Charlesknight 13:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Doh, didn't see that there, my bad. Boomshot
Someone want to explain why the citations section is MISSING? AJFederation 04:37, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm tempted to write a bit under reception about the recent issue with the GoW patch, specifically focusing on the removal of the host names from Ranked matched, only because this has become a significant issue with MS' TrueSkill certification, and the like. Mind you, writing such a section in a neutral voice is absolutely necessary. However, I don't know how worthwhile it is, and put the question up for discussion before adding it. -- Masem 06:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the title of the song used in the commercial, and the commercial itself, should be a section on here. Of recent videogame commercials, I think GOW's moved me the most, and I am not much of a gamer, and not an FPS guy at all. 205.251.228.10 05:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Anjohl
It's an encyclopedia, thus any relevant information is applicable. That song has recieved massive exposure due to the commercial, and I guarentee the commerical is moving units bigtime, so at least it deserves to be there as a trivia 205.251.228.10 18:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Around the net there has been a lot of speculation regarding December 24th and a possible Gears expansion pack. This is linked to this website:
http://www.theabovedomain.com/
The page has 'Re Emergence Day' as it's title, and features the date 12-24-06 clearly at the bottom. There is also a large concept art iomage present.
This can be combined with numerous text messages people have recieved. The whole thing is well detailed in this article.
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12447/Gears-of-War-Christmas-Eve-ReEmergence-Day/
Since this page is here to detail the Game in full, I feel that someone should add a small section into the article regarding this.

There are many of those items Carmine was carrying in the underground areas of the game - they're littered about every few areas or so. I believe they were called "GeoBots" or something similar, and the name suggests they are used to map the underground. Most likely with a single unit feeding a small bit of information about the area it's in that's then patched together with the rest of the bots. It's the same device, but most likely not the same one Carmine tossed down the hole.

There is a flash piece on gearsofwar.com called 'Inside the Mind of Marcus Fenix' that is loaded with lots of info and dialogue concerning the Gears of War story. I am trying to figure how to add this in. I have nearly the entire scripts down for each segment on there. They are called: What In the Hell Are They? - Safe, For How Long? - IF WE ONLY KNEW - FIGHT or DIE. So far I don't see a simply solution to adding them into the story. I may need to create a new page to the Gears of War article to add it, but I though I would get some thoughts as where it should properly be placed. I also believe that by adding this, there ought to be several other parts from the game manuals and guides, Destroyed Beauty, and some Epic Staff interviews added in. Of which should expand the story section to another article. Thoughts? AJFederation 09:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

However, there seems to be some disagreement as the game is a remastered version of the first game in the series and not a totally new release, as next year's Gears of War 4 will be. However, as the game features new levels not present in the original Xbox 360 release, that wouldn't necessarily be true that it's just a remaster. What is the thought on this of the community? -- McDoob AU93 14:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
the article says "The Gears of War series takes place on a fictional Earth-like planet named Sera, colonized by humans some time in the series' past." this is not true in gearsverse because earth does not exist in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.98.211.15 ( talk) 04:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I have played the game several times and have never heard the Gears of War song by Megadeth, despite what I've read about the song being made for the game, does it actually appear in the game itself? Or just a tribute? 68.32.154.156 05:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
There's been some misconception of the song. The song Gears of War originally had a different name, but Dave Mustaine played GOW and changed the NAME of the song ONLY. The song has nothing to do with the game itself, it's just titicularly dedicated. 85.210.39.15 18:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
There's a glaring inaccuracy under "Act 5" claiming that the lightmass bomb was never mentioned prior to this act. That is flat wrong as the colonel says "we now have the lightmass bomb" to the Lt. in the first act after the prison rescue. MartinDuffy 02:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Did you know that the $100 million USD factoid listed at the top of the page for the last month or so was actually unproven? The original source it had said nothing of the sort, but you'll see various gaming fansites using that information now that it has been on Wikipedia. I also recently found references that led to forums. People posting on discussion forums is no way to say that a majority of people are experiencing disc problems and the like, but that doesn't stop people from actually editing the article and putting that information in there, possibly to drive away sales or point out personal issues. I had all sorts of disc read errors with my early Xbox 360 models, and it took 3 replacements to get a good one that didn't create problems. </end rant> -- Jecrell 14:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
According to www.mygamercard.net [1], the 2 million mark of sales was made in 6 weeks, not 2 weeks, as stated. Could someone clarify this and confirm this and change it appropriately? -- Nighthawkzx 15:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
At the multiplayer section, the write up on the co-op is seemingly inaccurate. To a person who has not played GOW, he/she will think that "If either player is downed while on these split paths, both characters will effectively die and co-op players will have to load the previous checkpoint.". This is inaccurate, as the surviving player does not die, per-se, but rather, he gets reverted to the checkpoint with whoever he was playing with.-- Nighthawkzx 15:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
While I didn't put up the notice in the trivia section; it turns out that Wikipedia doesn't like trivia sections to begin with. Toss out the garbage and merge the important information with the rest of the article. -- Jecrell 10:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
The achievement trivia is constantly being removed and readded. I'd like some explanations on why this is such an important issue. Do these references need to be in the article at all? -- Jecrell 05:02, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
While it's not an Achievement, on the first level you face the Kryll, when Anya tells you to "Head down the ally to your left", Dom remarks "It's Pitch Black out there!" and Marcus says "Huh..." This is a reference to the Kryll's similarity to the creatures in the movie Pitch Black.
Right, the trivia section is dead now; there's no reason to bring it back up again. So if anyone else working for the concreteness of this article sees it re-emerging I'd like the important bits merged with the article and the rest removed. Jecrell 13:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Gears currently holds the #14 spot on Gamerankings.com, with an average score of 95.0%, on their list of games with at least 20 reviews, which is their standard.
Lead Designer Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski cited Resident Evil 4's quick pacing and emphasis on "memorable moments" as a major influence on Gears of War in an interview with Game Informer, and promised the game would have the presentation of this game be cinematic in scope, and chaotic, destructible environments would be an important aspect of gameplay.
Though they repeatedly call him a colonel the officer who talks to you after you escape the prison has stars for insignia which represents a general ranking in the U.S., a colonel's insignia is an eagle. Just a little thing that I noticed, I would have thought that the developers could keep the insignia straight.
This game takes place on a fictional planet similar to Earth. Their ranks could simply be different. For all we know the highest rank in their military is 4 Gears not 4 Stars.
The word "unanimous" should be removed from the reception section and should be replaced with "mostly". Unanimous would mean that every single critic in the world loved the game... which basically is impossible since I found a critic that didn't by easily searching google - [2] - as soon as this page is unprotected - I will remove it... No game should use the word unanimous unless you are talking about a specific population of critics and you are sure that each individual in that population completely agrees. emceepotential 16:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Alright, let's hammer this one out now. Most of the equipment in Gears of War isn't notable in themselves, being vamped up versions of existing ballistic-based weapons. However, I choose to note several weapons that are uncommon or unseen in other games of the same genre.
The rest of the weapons are, to my interpretation, pretty generic as far as weapons go (grenade launcher, sniper rifle, shotgun, etc.). I believe the above three weapons deserve mention for the following reasons:
Your turn. Why shouldn't they be included? -- Scottie theNerd 06:06, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Chainsaw bayonets have been done. They've even been done in first-person shooters before (the Chaos Marine enemies in Warhammer 40K: Fire Warrior). It's also just a gun with a bayonet. Crossbows with exploding bolts aren't new, either. Calling in tactical airborne strikes isn't new, either. (Ghost Recon 2 comes to mind.)
If you have to argue on the talk page to establish importance, you've failed to establish importance. Make the article speak for itself; explain how these weapons make GOW different or exemplify GOW's gameplay or artistic style, and back it up with references. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 06:14, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
If you're planning to write this based on your personal experience with the game, that's pretty much the definition of original research, and I'd advise you to reconsider. The description of the taste and texture of various types of cheese isn't based on personal experience of the author in cheese, but in descriptions in the sources on which the article rests.
I wasn't criticizing your decision to take this to talk, but rather the fact that the text, as written, failed to establish importance. You say these differences from other games are noteworthy; I say you need to back up these assertions in some way other than "Well, I can't think of any games that have these features." - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 07:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
If we are to have a weapons section, I'd like it if we noted the more unique weapons with references as necessary. If that's not possible, I think it should just be summarized or merged with the gameplay section. -- Jecrell 07:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
-- AllTeam november 30 2006
The manual establishes that such-and-such weapons are in the game. What you need are references to back up the claim that such-and-such weapons are unique or important. Reviews would seem to be the first place to look. EGM's Afterthoughts series is always good for an after-release perspective from a developer. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 05:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The lancer itself as a weapon isn't notable nor is it's bayonet. The notability of the lancer is the fact that the bayonet uses a rag-doll physics engine. What that means is that based on how and where it is used, the environment and the "victim" are affected. After you kill an enemy with the chainsaw, the body can be moved post-mortem by running in to it. If you play the game and pay attention, the head is in two parts, like if you took string cheese and split it down to the middle. Also, the blood spray sticks to the walls and onto characters. In certain parts when you use it multiple times (this is especially noticiable in the wretches' sections) the blood drips off of the player and surrounding enemies. This is one of the first games to use the system for such purposes, and the chainsaw's use of rag-doll engines is not seen in any other game.

That's the significance all together. The lancer is one of the first weapons in which the game's physics engine has been applied to. Normally, the rag doll physics engines have only been applied to the game in general (it first appeared in the original Ghost Recon). True, the chainsaw itself isn't new, but how the physics engine is applied to it is. The head stays in two parts after death and it reacts as such. The physics engine only applies to the other guns the same way as the engine always does in games. Shoot something, and it moves to react to the shot. But chainsaw it, and something totally new happens. Kea vader 04:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
We're talking about of a chainsaw bayonet in the context of a video game, not some random unit of a nerdy wargame.-- 203.88.245.230 02:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I think the lancer is notable because it is the iconic weapon of the series. It's the main weapon, the standard.

This is probably a minor issue, but the camera angle should shift to perhaps a 75-degree angle when your character takes cover. When you're hiding behind cover, there's no way you should have a clear view of what's in front of the cover you are hiding behind. Your line of sight should be somewhat parralel to the object you are leaning against, allowing you to partially see what's in front of the cover and what's behind the cover. Only when you pull the left trigger to pop out of cover should the camera angle shift to the panoramic view of what's in front. The biggest flaw of the current cover system is NOT the ability to see what's in front of the cover when in reality you shouldn't be able to, but the INABILITY TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE COVER, when in reality you should have some sort of peripheral vision; in other words, the camera angle should provide A MORE APPROPRIATE BLIND SPOT when using cover. This just dawned on me when I was playing on Xbox live and was able to sneak up on someone while he was taking cover due to the inaccurate blind spot.

How come there isn't anything on glitches or any gaming issues with the game?
Most common one is the mic issue. People join a game and can't hear other players. People try several things to fix it in-game, greatly interfering with the gameplay.
Then there are glitches on maps. One is at the Fuel Depot where on the hanger side you can get ontop of a crate, and can't get down from it. If playing execution, it is impossible to be killed by any of the standard weapons. AJFederation 09:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
"If playing execution, it is impossible to be killed by any of the standard weapons." ... That's not a glitch, that's execution mode. There would be no difference between Warzone and Execution if "standard weapons" could kill. 81.153.114.126 01:37, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
The recent patch resolved the issue so it's not worth mentioning now.
About the crate issue - it's not an issue. You can still kill a player with standard weapons as he's standing on the crate; all you have to do is down him 3 times. In Execution you must either be killed by a headshot, explosion, shotgun, execution style (close up shot/melee while you're down), curb stomp or being downed too many times.
Did you know that John Di Maggio who supplies the voice for Marcus Fenix, also supplied the voice for the loveable robot Bender from Futurama. Gundam94 15:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Who removed the criticism section? Just because you're a fan of GoW, and you want to remove any trace of criticism, doesn't mean that there is no criticism. BTW, just in case someone starts getting angry at me, I am in fact a fan of Gears of War, but it annoys me that there are people who mess it all up. If you want to pretend that there are no people who don't like Gears of War, fine, but don't come and ruin this article. -- Ras29 09:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
In the Execution gametype, you can kill a downed opponent with medium to long-range fire. To do so you must either pour a lot of fire from about medium range into your opponent or shoot them in the head.
Gore Ghoul 21:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

This probably isn't too big of an issue, but i am feeling that there should be a section on gears of war weapons in this article somewhere, nothing too major, just thinking it should happen. Boomshot 7:59, 8 January 2007
Already covered - Gears of War features a small variety of weapons, following other first-person shooter weapons sets with assault rifles, shotguns, pistols and sniper rifles One of the most notable weapons is the game's signature firearm, the Lancer (an assault rifle with a chainsaw bayonet). Single player missions usually carry over weapons from previous missions, while multiplayer matches provide players with a smoke grenade, Lancer, Snub pistol, and Gnasher shotgun, while more powerful weapons such as explosive crossbows and grenade launchers can be found in strategic locations.
All the detail required for a general readers encyclopedia. -- Charlesknight 13:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm tempted to write a bit under reception about the recent issue with the GoW patch, specifically focusing on the removal of the host names from Ranked matched, only because this has become a significant issue with MS' TrueSkill certification, and the like.

However, I don't know how worthwhile it is, and put the question up for discussion before adding it. -- Masem 06:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I think the title of the song used in the commercial, and the commercial itself, should be a section on here. Of recent videogame commercials, I think GOW's moved me the most, and I am not much of a gamer, and not an FPS guy at all. 205.251.228.10 05:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Anjohl
It's an encyclopedia, thus any relevant information is applicable. That song has recieved massive exposure due to the commercial, and I guarentee the commerical is moving units bigtime, so at least it deserves to be there as a trivia 205.251.228.10 18:57, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

There are many of those items Carmine was carrying in the underground areas of the game - they're littered about every few areas or so. I believe they were called "GeoBots" or something similar, and the name suggests they are used to map the underground. Most likely with a single unit feeding a small bit of information about the area it's in that's then patched together with the rest of the bots. It's the same device, but most likely not the same one Carmine tossed down the hole.

They are called: What In the Hell Are They? - Safe, For How Long? - IF WE ONLY KNEW - FIGHT or DIE. So far I don't see a simply solution to adding them into the story. I may need to create a new page to the Gears of War article to add it, but I though I would get some thoughts as where it should properly be placed. I also believe that by adding this, there ought to be several other parts from the game manuals and guides, Destroyed Beauty, and some Epic Staff interviews added in. Of which should expand the story section to another article. Thoughts? AJFederation 09:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Wasn't this statement denied rapidly? I can swear I read somewhere that they weren't planning that far ahead. -- Thejadefalcon ( talk) 10:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ten More Years of Gears?
- At the New York ComicCon, Gears 2 writer Josh Ortega announced that we'll be seeing GoW for some time. "It's a ten-year plan. The Lancer is the new lightsabre," he stated. Epic Games boss Mark Rein issued a swift denial, saying it doesn't plan that far ahead.
I dont know how to do the refence line so i added it at the end of the article for someone to fix up. 22:07, 26 July 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.191.25.169 ( talk)
Whomever keeps adding the IGN article into this article must understand that you cannot simply cut and paste it in: this violates copyright. Everytime I see this info posted, I check it against the IGN article and sure enough it's word for word. I will continue to undo it each time. If it's examined for good content, paraphrased and cited then it that would be gold! To everyone else watching this article, thanks for the support :) Jwoodger ( talk) 14:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Technically, Gears of War is not owned by Microsoft Game Studios. I would appreciate it if someone would fix that.. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by JUKEBOX12345 ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Can I make a request that all text edits done by me be left alone for at least 24 hours so I can cross all of my t's and dot all of my I's before you delete anything. These edits are for a college project so I am jumping from computer to computer to try and finish. To get this done properly I need a chance to use my computer at home which has all of my stuff on it. Etad91 ( talk) 18:53, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
The Eurogamer source does not have fully accurate information and does not provide enough information to sustain the statement it is connected with. The source I replace it with provides more detail and more accurate information. It's also more professionally written. CrimeInvestigation&Patrol ( talk) 19:12, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
The source is completely fine. ShawntheGod ( talk) 09:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move. We have consensus that the series article is the primary topic over the first game in the series. Cúchullain t/ c 20:47, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
Gears of War (series) →
Gears of War – Per
WP:NCVGDAB point 5-1, there are four video games, along with several novels, so the primary name should give to the series article.

I thought that maybe the way the lambent are put in the introduction might be spolierish of their role, that I think was revelaed only later into the series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.27.189.136 ( talk) 09:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
Now that Gears of War Ultimate Edition is available in North America, this would appear to be the latest release in the franchise. However, there seems to be some disagreement as the game is a remastered version of the first game in the series and not a totally new release, as next year's Gears of War 4 will be. However, as the game features new levels not present in the original Xbox 360 release, that wouldn't necessarily be true that it's just a remaster. What is the thought on this of the community? -- McDoob AU93 14:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
the article says "The Gears of War series takes place on a fictional Earth-like planet named Sera, colonized by humans some time in the series' past." this is not true in gearsverse because earth does not exist in it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.98.211.15 ( talk) 04:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I'm amazed there's still really nothing in the "Setting" section about Gears of War 4. Just a very brief mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.12.80.220 ( talk) 16:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
