The Coalition has restored our faith in our favorite series. I hope this game lives up to expectations and is massively successful!

Woah there, cowboy. AAA studio doesn't even so much as get the benefit of the doubt with only a cinematic trailer to show for it. Especially after Gears 4 & 5. We got burned with Halo Infinite, Starfield, Mass Effect Andromeda, and a slew of other corporate slop. Under no circumstances am I content with a trailer and nothing else edging our nostalgia. The proof will be in the pudding.

[@blakelarsen2884]

Marcus never dropped his bandana once until this moment so that’s how you know this was a tough fight for him

[@shadow_58]

​@@therookie5714 Makes sense, it's probably his first ever fight against a Locust. It's also cool that the war against the locust starts with Marcus's bandana falling off, and ends (GoW3) with him taking it off.

[@malcolmsaint]

I love how its acknowledged just how strong a drone is. Makes sense that they'd want each cog soldier to be as strong as possible.

[@firstdrop4278]

Being so early in the invasion as well, Marcus and the COG are probably still learning how tough the locust really were

[@MtnDew4828]

I was confused at first by how strong it was but now knowing more it makes sense and genuinely gets me excited

[@fujicrew170]

doesn't help that your weapons are not up to snuff. Taken from gears wiki "While the blade-type bayonet was effective against human enemies, it had difficulty penetrating the thick hide of Locust and was prone to snapping" Imagine being a nameless cog soldier with a carmine helmet retro charging a locust and as you go to throw the drone off after impaling. the blade just breaks off. After all the locusts are tough bastards there basically just bio weapons after what was revealed in gear of war 5

[@Numbeaar-lu7wt]

I hope they include the scene where they first discover how effective a chainsaw is on the Locust. My theory is that you'll get the chainsaw Lancer like halfway into the game. It'll be like the God of War 2018 getting the Blades of Chaos nostalgia.

[@fujicrew170]

​@@Numbeaar-lu7wtyeah I was thinking that when I saw this trailer that is going to be Marcus Fenix using a chainsaw he found in the house but then I remembered tai the one that did that and gave the idea to Marcos Phoenix's father Then after realizing that I was like this has to be e day or something during the live reveal

[@damianmontalvo5319]

I saw Dom, I heard mad Word in the background And they couldn't keep the tears from my eyes

[@SquashyButton]

Doing this prequel (before presumably working on Gears 6) is actually such a genius move. Give fans exactly what they've been wanting for years, build up a ton of hype and reinvigorate the series, then release Gears 6 when excitement is higher than ever.

[@dominickmartinez4441]

I love the fact that they're finally showing the immense physical strength of the Locust. Being able to pick up a very large man in armor made from Osmium with little effort is an intimidating thing to witness.

[@PresidentJackBauer]

But then his friend picks him up from falling with one arm. Guess humans are super strong too

[@RookBone]

Everything on Sera is OP. Hell, even the weather is terrifying on that planet.

[@julianswinton5355]

​@@PresidentJackBauer People of Sera are pretty hyper carnivores compared to us. Size wise and strenght wise.

[@alastormedial]

I believe lore wise the average Drone is pretty similar to COG soldiers? This is more a symbolic struggle IMO - you got fresh baby Marcus who doesn't know what he's doing, with a thousand battles ahead of him. He manages to take down this one guy and then the floor collapses to reveal the end of the world happening all around him. They nailed that hopeless vibe IMO.

[@trim105]

​@@alastormedial lorewise, drones are physically MUCH stronger than humans, they also have 'natural armor' due to their thick skin. Which is why the cog developed the chainsaw bayonet for the mk2 lancer. The bayonets of the mk.1 either broke on impact or barely pierced the skin of the drones.

I don't comment on videos much... as a content creator and someone who has put well over 10,000 hours into this series... This is the first time in over a decade I have had full confidence in Gears of War again. This game has been a large part of my life, traveling to events, playing in online ladders and tournaments, being apart of Gamebattles staff for Gears of War. This trailer is what the Gears of War games are about, a tough fight, losing everyone, and the dark grit and emotion... I truly hope, you guys don't mess this up

[@DizzTactical]

The fact you see how he struggles fighting one grunt, his first ever encounter with one is crazy. Compared, to seeing how he becomes this locust killer with ease, this trailer just shows how outmatched the COG was at the start with your average soldier.

[@completelytransparent6320]

i hope they bring back the visceral nature of impact the combat used to have in the original trilogy and really make the firefights/hand to hand executions feel tactile. i liked 4 and 5 but the tone took a step back. still had plenty that made them feel like gears tho imo and i have a ton of faith in the coalition based on the decision to do a e-day game before gears 6 alone. they know weve been screaming for a gears collection but this is a genius way to give us characters we love and want to play as again but tell a new story

this is exactly what we wanted. Thank you. gears 1-3 meant so much to me growing up and to see this made a man tear up. Each member of Delta squad meant so much to me. Keep gears going in this direction and I guarantee all the fans are happy.

[@GunlessSnake]

This trailer does a great job of showing just how strong the Locust are. This is just a normal Locust Drone, and it's way larger and stronger than a younger Marcus Fenix, throwing him around with ease and barely being phased when he hits it. It's only once he manages to get his Retro Lancer up in its face that he finally kills it.

[@seventrue871]

And yet michael barrick killed two of them with his bare hands

[@mattavery7581]

The whole fight to me really shows us how the whole war was mostly a one sided fight with the locust but humanity managed to pull through in the end.

[@tokyotopp]

Imagine fighting a Grenadier or Theron guard😮😮😮😮hand to hand. You would need to be build like Brock Lesnar 😮😮😮

[@bJT42]

It’s actually pretty terrifying, imagine the bigger Locust like Boomers, Therons, and ESPECIALLY monsters like RAAM and Skorge… don’t even get me started with the non-humanoids.

[@offworlder1]

@@seventrue871 He was also not trying to live, he was dying of rust lung and did not care if he lived so he went all out. Marcus also has no experience fighting the locust yet, E-Day was the beginning and even Pedilum War vets like Marcus and Dom had to learn how to fight this new enemy. The whole reason this trailer is great is it shows how strong and terrifying a common drone is vs someone built like Predator 1 Arnie and again he got his ass kicked by the predator. Marcus and Dutch are big buff as hell strong as shot guys and still get thrown around.

[@djfritz2001]

I feel like devs just said "Dear fans. Let's start over. From the beginning." Amen brother. Amen.

I get chills seeing Marcus and Dom again. I must have been 12-13 years old when I immersed myself in this Gears of War adventure. I'm 29 today, time goes by too quickly…

[@michaelbarquet4169]

I’m 28 and played at a similar age. It’s crazy that we were so young watching them fight. And now we’re probably older than both Marcus and dom are in this game. Actually I think we are because Marcus was canonically 21 during E day.

[@spoookygooose8903]

There are a number of people that have commented that seeing Dom back brought them to tears and others just not getting it. Gears of war the first trilogy came out 2006,2008, then 2011. We are just now seeing Dom and Marcus unite as brothers in arms after 13 years. Let that sink in. “Bro it’s not that deep.” Na man. Dom has been dead for 13 years, went out to mad world and we see him come back to the same chords again to only know what is to come of him. Loss. That’s what that feeling is.

[@onamazaku]

I hate to mention this bro, but his kids.

[@sasaki999pro]

It would probably be better if we actually got SOME sort of HD re-release of the original trilogy so you know, the multiple generations of people who completely missed the 360 era could atleast enjoy the story, and the fans who did play it could relive those iconic moments in the high fidelity they remember it having. seriously M$ wtf are you doing with this franchise, you wanna tell me you're excited to put master chief on playstation but you're not even gonna give your secondary flagship franchise a proper PC port?

When Dom showed up, I legit started tearing up when I noticed the background song is the same song that played during Dom’s death back in gears 3. The slower pace of it is really making the memories flow of back when me and brother used to play this game all the time and how this scene had little me in tears; god I’m so excited for this..

for anyone whos wondering "Gears of War 2" takes place six months after the events of "Gears of War 1," and "Gears of War 3" takes place 18 months after the events of "Gears of War 2." So, to sum up: "Gears of War 1": 14 years after E-Day "Gears of War 2": Approximately 14 years and 6 months after E-Day "Gears of War 3": Approximately 16 years and 6 months after E-Day

​@@dr._breens_beardWdym it has no story? The characters in-game drop bits of story all the time, and a lot of the collectables give info on locations and previous events that lead to current ones such as the pendulum wars, and of course there is the gears of war comics that, in my opinion, are actually kinda good and explain good stuff and expand a bit (like when Marcus met Tai Kaliso, or Raam killing Uzil Sraak) Though I will admit it's not easy to understand if you're not paying attention and aren't willing to read all the collectibles.
