Gears 3's Horde Mode is Sick

Gears of War 3 is an amazing game with a great horde mode. Just wanted to put this video out there.

Gears of war 3 horde mode was the best. The most I love about it is when you max out decoy it becomes an onyx guard. Best feature to ever exist.

It was fun but being able to place anything wherever you want is much cooler

[@Gunslinger2580]

My absolute favorite core memory from GOW 3 Horde was when a friend of mine did what I thought was impossible - headshot a Beserker with a Torque Bow. I'm sure many of y'all remember the Horde 2.0 trailer with a song by Aaron Griffin aka Ice T where there's the line "... headshot a berserker with a torque bow!". In my mind it remains so unbelievably rare to have that tiny bit of damage when an enemy gets stuck with a torque bow bolt be enough to kill a berserker. The model's head didn't explode or anything from what I can remember, but the classic headshot sound played and the kill log listed a headshot for the beserker. Absolute insanity, and I wish we could go back to the Horde 2.0 era. I'm not holding my breath for GOW E-Day, I'm too pessimistic at this point after seeing Halo, Mass Effect, Fallout, Battlefield, COD, and other franchises from my childhood good into the gutter in tetms of quality. But hey, we'll wait and see.

[@MyLifeIsOver]

How funny. I was watching your horde 4.0 vid and reminiscing about how addicted I was to gears 3 horde and then you came back with this masterpiece! I wish more people would talk about the horde modes like with cod zombies.

[@revan5293]

I remember when Gears 3 first came out. My brother and I each had our own Xbox's and we grinded horde. Our mom would come in with snacks and checkup on us every hour lol. Good times. Will never forget the memories from the Gears franchise.

[@StephenYuan]

Can we all just agree that as much as you might dislike Horde 4.0 compared to 2.0, it had one feature that was a huge improvement, the custom lobbies that allowed players to join late. No longer would one person quiting ruin a run. And the host could kick trolls too, which did a lot to ensure good behavior and sportsmanship.

[@MildCrisp]

That's actually a really cool feature, I usually skip right by it

[@CT-yp9zm]

I have been playing Gears 3 lately. Been finding full pvp/ horde/ and occasionally beast mode lobbies. Would be awesome to see others come back and get these lobbies booming like the good ole days. Hopefully see some of you on there sometime

[@MildCrisp]

That would actually be sick, I wonder if I could gather some of these people up to join in

[@CT-yp9zm]

@@MildCrisp I've been currently doing that for Gears Ultimate Edition. Would be absolutely sick though to have full lobbies for some of the other game modes on Gears 3. It only seems like TDM, KOTH, and Guardian are the only active modes for PVP. Not that I'm complaining lol. Those are favorite modes anyways

[@MildCrisp]

Bro everybody is gonna be so rusty lol, I'll see if I can get some people in on it

[@CT-yp9zm]

@@MildCrisp Well sounds like we'll have a field day whipping them back into shape lol. Sounds good, and definitely let me know if you do because I would absolutely love to join in

[@lacabradelosclinex5164]

Sounds great

[@jeremiahcurtis3067]

The idea of a good cooperative game mode has always appealed to me more than versus. Don't get me wrong, PvP has its own flavor to it that mostly involves a serious amount of profanity, but there's something about having to rely on others to make sure you survive that's just most interesting. In both board games and video games, I've always preferred this. Horde was what really brought it home for me and it sucks for me to see it losing that and moving towards the hero analogy you used

[@vanguardv1nce12]

I remember grinding horde mode with my brother back in the 360 data and I can't tell you how much fun we had. I miss getting things this fun anymore. Wish this game was ported to pc

[@JReef]

Gears 3 was the only game I ever played online. Man, I had some fun back in the day with Hord mode. Good times that I miss a lot.

[@agrikantus9422]

Horse mode 2.0 was quite something, shame that nobody really plays it anymore. I play mostly horse 4.0 mostly since people still play it.

[@deadmanwalking915]

Horse

[@blacknyellow962]

GoW 3 was just an amazing game. The campaign was fantastic with grand finales for two very important characters, both narratively and for the players themselves. (Which by the way, those two scenes still mess me up to this day) The multiplayer too, I remember grinding for WEEKS to get max level in versus with over 5m+ xp on top of that, grinding out the golden hunter and chairman Prescott characters too. Beast and horde mode were also legendary I remember spending countless hours playing with friends with the fun mutators selected, and getting one tapped by melee attacks. Running around after saving up for the berserker, demolishing everything in sight. I’ve got so many good memories from my time spent playing this series, but this game was extra special.

[@MildCrisp]

Whenever my day is going too good I watch those scenes :(

[@dynamickhaoss1631]

Oh man this takes me back i cant believe how many features i actually forgot and this was my favourite game for years and years my most played game ever by far. That vulcan was so cool gears 3 really encouraged team play more than any other game. I want to play this again wish people still played this game definitely needs a remaster I'd love to revisit this game,

[@CT-yp9zm]

I have been playing Gears of War 3 lately and have been finding full lobbies for horde and pvp. It surprisingly still has a good amount of active players. It would be absolutely beautiful if a lot of people were to redownload this game and get the servers booming again like the good ole days

Till this day gears 3 horde 2.0 is still my favorite gears mode that I would play most frequently without getting bored or tired.. and out of all other gears games, gears 3 horde is the best by far

[@jamesmorehead5569]

My wife and I fell in love with gears 3 it was the only online game I could ever get her to play with me we bought most the skins and all the dlcs back in the days on the 360 we really wish it was active on the one

[@insane6072]

I love all the cool little details in Gears 3 horde. Stuff like the Lambent and Locust fighting each other even though the really didn't need to put that in horde mode, if you don't attack berserkers they take a while before attacking you because they barely see (at least it was like that for me), the boss and enemy variety compared to Gears 5. I never liked the Gears 5 horde, this one will always be the best imo!

[@bungathebeast8120]

This video was well made props to you man gears 3 brings back so much nostalgia

[@AHeroInHell]

I used to get a team of 5 people every Friday night for Horde mode. They were the best gaming moments of my life. Get yourself an elite team and have a blast. Beast mode too was so underrated. I miss those days.

[@Sinestra666]

Was taking a nostalgia trip the other day for Gears content, and this video got recommended to me. The fuckin Giant Dad skit reference at 8:23 had me rolling. Thank you for the double-dose of nostalgia, this video was great.

[@waitwho3074]

Very good video you sums up perfectly everything about why GOW 3 horde is the best. Imo GOW3 is one of the perfect video game ever created, the campaign is so epic and it concludes very well this godly trilogy. The multiplayer was good and ahead of its time with the customizations. I mean GOW3 itself was really ahead of its time when we compare it to AAA releaes these days and the fact that we still talk about it in 2023 it says it all. Even for today it has so much content and easter eggs. You have 357 subs and in only 3 months your GOW3 video made 35k views. Its safe to say that Gears Of War 3 is the goat. Btw you've earn yourself a new sub!

[@danielzsigmond2518]

Thank you for this. It was very very nostalgic for me...best gears and horde ever made.

[@MinistryProductions]

Great video! I've played every gears of war and personally loved the simplicity of Horde in Gears 2. We played it for years. Gears 3 for me added too much to a simple formula but can see in retrospect all the additions were necessary to keep the game fresh. 😁👍🏻

[@fictionforeternity8926]

I remember this one match we were on bullet marsh all my teammates are dead and I’m the only one fighting off a lambent berserker, with a lot of running and curling I managed to kill that she beast abomination and the sensation of success I felt can and will never be topped.

[@MildCrisp]

One time I my team had died except for me and one other person so we opened a box and got a lucky Vulcan. We still lost but it was fun while it lasted!

[@Gunslinger2580]

Man, I'm sure I'm one of many who maxed out everything but the silverback. That was so unbelievably expensive - although my buddies at the time had an agreement that only one person should purchase and repair it to max out the card so at least one person in our group had it.

[@tonythunder6048]

I miss being able to put on Mutators for fun instead of the premade ones in Gears 5 that usually favor the swarm and destroy my team no matter what we do. And in Gears of war 3 I love it when the Lambent and Locust fight, it made it more immersive in my opinion since the whole game is a 3 way war. In Gears 5 the Deebees and Swarm do nothing but soak up every bullet in my gun

[@ch1mera302]

Gears 3 will always be my favorite gears game. I enjoyed the story of 2 the most but 3 has a crazy amount of content. The offline bot matches are fantastic 2.

[@AHeroInHell]

One of the beautiful things about Gears 3 is that you could do Private Horde mode WITHOUT the need for an Xbox subscription. Oh the little things...

[@TheHyde900]

Once I finished the gears 5 classic horde mode I just thought, its just like gears 3 its so cool. But I just recently got an xbox one x to play the gears 3 on 4k and I was so wrong, gears 3 horde is hands down the best on the series, felt so unique and the classic horde enemies set is so matching with the game pacing I enjoy it 10 times more than the gears 4 or 5 boss waves

[@shaydesofblue2281]

I love using the command hammer of dawn.

[@eidannishidan3794]

i've really enjoyed 3.0. The biggest issue was that we fight against bot and swarm. A return to a "better" 3.0 close to 2.0 with Locust on E-day would be perfect

[@Bubbagaming90000]

I think gears 5 horde is the best, Classes just add so much replayability and give you a reason to try new loadouts.

[@Mudhoney1991]

[@HomicidalxPanda]

God I miss my purple hammerburst. 😢

[@evanybarra8618]

How much better 4.0 would be if they added every enemy in the gears franchise. Like, among the practical ones, all of them. Imagine a water/boat map (gears3) where you can fight the leviathan as a map boss in gow 5. I would love to see classic locust like the kantus and wild tickers in 4.0 along with the swarm

[@MildCrisp]

I think it would be interesting but that would require effort of TC’s part and every AI would be playing walking simulator

[@theseproblemsmatter1]

That Vulcan weapon should be in Helldivers 2

[@MildCrisp]

I think they have a couple weapon call ins like it already. I remember seeing a two manned rocket launcher.

[@bucketmanpalemin9603]

Thank you. This was, is and always will be the shit! CoD Zombies has nothing on Gears of War 3.

[@IsaiahGuerrieri]

I completely forgot about some of these iconic enemies. Can blame that on the new gears of war boring enemies. They just don’t bring the same punch that the original locust did the terrifying, underground monster that has its own religion, its own guns, hell its own goddamn world.

Beast mode is still the best mode imo, period. Lots of games have horde modes. Only one game ever had beast mode.

[@banz6208]

Glad u did this video to show love to gears of war 3 horde. Hopefully the people making gears 6 look at what the fans are saying and bring back the fun gore gears of war back. I even think they should add a hand to hand combat system in horde mode or im general would be sick

[@MildCrisp]

A hand to hand combat system sounds interesting, how do you think that would work?

[@oacuellar]

Crazy to think that for whatever reason, yesterday, I played (after +4 years) GOW 3 Horde and now this video pops out from nowhere. This game will be forever the best game of the franchise. It's very upset what Microsoft Studios has done to this franchise.

[@benjilight8146]

Gears 3 was so gritty and savage in the best way gears could be. Beats mode was so sick and the enemies peaked. The story had a fitting end. And it was a good way to end the series. I dislike the fact they kept it going it made all the sacrifices that have been made from the characters pointless. They just brought them back like they didn’t just wipe every single one of the locust horde out. The newest gears games are cool but they just are not the same. In my opinion!
