The Gears of War Iceberg Explained

[@MIComp7806]

Would say overall pretty good video overall. Can give some information out from having an untouched version of the Xbox Underground's Jan 24th 2011 engine leak. 9:10 There actually a ton of pretty cool unused weapons from both concept and actual in-game implementation across the franchise. Like the Ripper/Buzzsaw was a saw that would bounce off different surfaces and fired in similar way to Torque Bow and Unreal Tournament's Ripper. The Stim Pistol was also an early phase idea for Gears Judgment's Stim Grenades that existed during Gears 3's development. 33:00 The Master Boomer did have a proof of concept map, though this was pretty much a visual-based scripting set. Which did have the Butcher walk around with wretches jumping off of it's back. There also does contain an non-rigged model of the Boomer itself, along with unused voice lines for whenever a wretch jumped on a COG character's head. 53:22 From what I remember in the builds from around E3 2010 there were other cut enemies. Like just standard Locust Drones, Shriekers, and Grinder. Then later on they added the Reaver during late 2010 to early 2011, which was eventually scrapped. 56:50 From what I was told privately this demo was created originally as a proof of concept inside of Gears Judgment's build of the version. As in the video there is proof as well you can see a mouse cursor throughout what was leaked. (Btw you can use JW Player to watch different archived pages from the WayBack Machine) There also was a different variation made for Gears 3 early on, but it only ever was used to test AI characters to interact with the environment and move using the mouse. web.archive.org/web/20140916041956/kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHCdqqolt-VfJY 58:00 Yeah, the original earliest lineup from super early RAAM's Shadow map scripting was Barrick, Harper, Tai and Valera. However there voice lines that were repurposed as to when Kim was added in as a playable character. The original location was also supposed to be in Tollen instead of Illima. Along with maps made heavily focused on an older man (likely later Dr. Wisen) and Jace going around saving kids during the day and night time. There were also another couple of super early concepts for DLC campaigns as well mainly Marcus trying to hold off Tollen road, rescuing Anya inside a bank vault, and lastly him disobeying orders to save his father. As for Carmine I do have a theory that he's likely placed there due to the fact that Epic were likely working on Recruit Carmine's model at the time, so it looked pretty cool as a marketing idea.

Marcus complaining about a lack of home depot around will forever hold a plaxe in my heart

[@EnclavePropagandist]

For the language and accent part at 1:28:57 , the COG was based in Tyrus and the people are said to speak in Tyran which could be a totally different sounding language than English. So I just think they all speak English just so we can follow the story line and narrative since it would be a LOT of work to create an entire new language. Same could be said for Gorasni(Republic of Gorasnaya), but Gorasni is more akin to sounding like a Slavic language.

[@javelin_if]

I shit you not, the entire reason I got into Gears of War was because of the Carmine family, watching Carmine lore videos, Carmine voice lines in Multiplayer, needles to say I yearn for a Gears game with a helmeted cog that isnt a throw away joke character

Well Clayton survives all the way from Gears 3 to 5 so far? Dont think he's going anytime soon.

Gears is one of my favorite game series, thanks for finally making an iceberg on it!

As a fan of this franchise I really appreciate this video and I thank you for making this video and I can't wait to see more icebergs

[@andrescarreong2112]

gears of war is really big in latin america, especially mexico. when the X360 launched in mexico (about 3 months after the US launch), the console was bundled with the first gears of war, which made it very popular around here; at least that's how i first played it when my best friend got the X360 as a birthday gift. as far as i know, the biggest gears lore YT channel is a mexican guy.

[@moviedudexd5579]

Huh. That would make Gears of War weirdly similar to King of Fighters in that they're both franchises that for some reason they're more popular in Latin America then the rest of the world.

[@finegentleman9461]

I first played gears 1 in 2011 in the spanish dub version and godamn that dub is high quality. Even rivals the og english dub in my opinion. I also played gears 3 in french since I bought and played it in Quebec and as much as I love french, any bilingual french spaker will tell you that french dubs (movies and games) arent usually very good.

Are you taking about King Abz?

[@PosthumanHeresy]

Dom's beard was indeed a meme in the old fandom! Specifically because of the double meaning of "Beard", the plot with his wife, and his relationship with Marcus. The joke was that Dom grew a new beard because he had to get rid of his old one.

[@HorrorsofCody]

Got to be one of the funniest easter eggs I've seen.

[@hellinterface6721]

You mean Baird? tiktok iceberg trends aside. I lost interest when OP started talking about gow5 during the first quarter of the video.

[@HorrorsofCody]

@@hellinterface6721 it's an iceberg video, you should know that if it's about a franchise then all games will be talked about.

[@PosthumanHeresy]

@@hellinterface6721 No, beard. Baird is Cole's bitchy bottom, not Marcus's. "Beard" is a 20th century slang term for the wife/husband of a gay man/woman in a sham heterosexual relationship. Sometimes the spouse was deceived, but other times the spouse was in on the plan and is the best friend of the person they married, simply playing the role of hetero partner in order to provide cover for their friend. Those were especially common in friendships between a lesbian and a gay man. The joke was that Dom's wife was his beard, the best friend acting as his pretend hetero partner, to hide the gay relationship between him and Marcus. His beard was to replace his beard.

You'd think that content creators would pick up on the popularity of characters like the Carmines, the soldier's soldiers and regular guys given a gun to do their part. It's empowering. The Imperial Guard are popular in 40k for a reason. Plus he has a helmet, safety first.

Thanks for making this, the gears community needed a good iceberg for this franchise, I learned a lot. Fun fact: since the games take place on Sera, there’s no England 🎉 , the protagonists are from the country named Tyrus, so they speak Tyran, the equivalent of the English language

[@paragonrobbie9270]

3:01 can confirm, Ben is best boi. Also, an extra bit of info that I was surprised wasn't on the iceberg: In Wasteland 3, near the Southeastern area of the map, you can find a case marked with the name "Fenix." Inside is a Gears lancer which you can actually use. Though the chainsaw doesn't work, it fires explosive rounds with 99 armor penetration which basically negates any enemy's armor.

I love that doms toms was just John having fun and riffing for a laugh and they loved it so much they put it in an easter egg.

The death row laugh is a call back to a gears one scene. When the boomers are introduced, they step on a rat, (they dont laugh they just grunt). But i believe Thats why the rat runs out, and why you can step on it. Its a boomers laugh.

On the Resistance subject, both Gears and Resistance shared a fair amount of similarities. For example: both games take place after major conflicts (WW1 for Resistance and the Pendulum Wars for Gears) both feature antagonist that have reptilian aesthetics, etc.

I voted for Carmine to perish, as to keep-up the grim dark aesthetic of the franchise. Anthony dies in the 1st act of the first game, Ben died in the 2nd act of the second game and Carmine "should" have died in the third act of the 3rd game... Alas, I did not succeed =(

[@MikeVonwolkenstein]

Yooo best early birthday gift I can receive. Been hyped asf for this iceberg Catch 22 about seeing an iceberg about your favorite series is that you know most of the entries. But I realized that most entries I didn’t know where cut content. I didn’t know about the cut gears 3 chapter dlcs nor the rocket launchers, the construction boomer , the fire starter origins cut lines, the original characters for raams shadow or how Alicia was originally an onyx guard. I’ll add in another cut content that wasn’t in this iceberg but another gears iceberg I saw. Palace guards in gears 2 where suppose to have giant swords like cleavers. This me realized how poor cut content in gears of war is archived. An interesting note is that supposedly there’s still undiscovered secrets in gears 3 and in gears 4 multiplayer. There’s also rumors that the slab Easter egg is still unsolved. But nonetheless, love the iceberg and video 🔥🔥

Ironically enough, people bought that rev 9 skin for the simple fact that before the update on the skin he was so damn skinny he was not able to be seen on screen, he doesn't do emotes so he doesn't get affected by gunshots so the only thing you can hear is the clanking noises when he walks, and a lot of sweat players use that skin in multiplayer just so it was easy level up, and on top of that you can sit in a dark corner and people will run right past you. Literally the most hated skin in the game for the longest time 😆

1:40:43 Kantus are native to the Hollow, they ARE NOT Locust created by humans, they were in hollow when Myra and the Locust arrived. Myra's arrival was part of a Kantus Prophesy.

19:57 Oh my god I thought I was the only one who remembered that movie. I've talked to other people about sad Christmas movie's but no one else remembers Jack Frost. Wasn't expecting to see someone mention it on an almost two hour long Gears of War video of all places.

[@heliveruscalion9124]

i will point out, the lancer is a rifle, and the boltok is a pistol, however high-caliber it is. i figure the boltok is gonna be chambered in something akin to either .50 AE or .500 win mag. the lancer, given it's sheer size, is probably chambered in something like 7.62 NATO. So, if Dom put her out of her misery with a boltok and left a sizeable exit wound in the back of her head, the lancer would probably saw her head in two

[@a_game_nub6884]

Something I found atleast on the wiki says that the snub was .50 cal. So the boltock would probably be bigger and would definitely pop the entire head, so imagine how the lancer would do as it does appear as if it would have a higher caliber

[@Nixomniac]

@@a_game_nub6884 So characters heads popping is actually canon lol That’s pretty cool man, i love it when they do that.

[@StrengthScholar0]

The lancer clearly doesn't have a higher caliber than the Boltok. You say that the lancer is much larger than the Boltok, so it must have a higher caliber, but it doesn't have a large barrel. Much of the size of the lancer is taken up by the assembly for the chainsaw, bayonet and the grenade launcher. Also the Boltok takes far less bullets to kill enemies. Which would suggest it has a much larger caliber.

[@steelbear2063]

7,62 NATO? There is such a thing?

@@steelbear2063yes, 7.62*51mm to be exact, I think in imperial it was cal .308

One of my greatest personal experiences with gears of war is playing through gears of war one's campaign on insane which was hard as balls! Me and my friend had just gotten to the part where the Theron guards show up and kept getting our asses royally handed to us over and over again growing more and more frustrated and especially has time was limited. Then on our final attempt I took cover, and got stuck! On what we dubbed as the rock of doom or possibly the boulder of doom and at that point we both burst out laughing in hysterics with me laughing so hard tears and snot were rolling down my face. At that point we just got off and finished it another time but damn I don't think I ever laughed that hard at anything in games especially out of sheer frustration and just how fucked up the timing of that glitch was like a sick joke and troll sent from the universe. Also 3 was the best one in terms of story weapons and gameplay modes

[@prilisious251]

In terms of the kantus being “immune” to imulsion, I see it as them slightly poisoning themselves consistently. There is actually a historical precedent. I don’t quite remember which king/noble, or where he was from, but he had a lot of fear for his personal safety, so for every meal he had the cook put in minuscule amounts of poison think he would build an immunity to poison (which is impossible, but regardless). Later on in said persons life his fears were justified when during a meal the entirety of his family died due to being poisoned. Everyone but him that is. The reason he survived was because there was already plenty of poison in his system so the sudden ingestion of poison was non lethal. It’s the equivalent of fighting poison with poison. So not immune, just already poisoned so nothing really changed

Gears’ Easter eggs were top tier. I always remember doing the cluckshot and sawed off chicken ones in 3. One thing the author of the iceberg forgot to mention was the fact that you could actually use the Infinity Blade in a Judgement map called Museum. I don’t really remember how to get the sword but it was similar to a lot of other Easter eggs where you have to activate/shoot some objects around the map. It wasn’t anything special tho, it was just a reskin of the cleaver but in the shape of the Inifinity Blade Also another cool Easter egg in Infinity Blade, you can actually fight 3 giant versions of the wretch in game. I wish more games would add silly Easter eggs to their games like how Gears always did. It just adds more fun to the game imo. Your iceberg videos are awesome!

[@ilo3456]

I really want a MCC type Collection of Gears game to release on PC, because my friend who loves gears didn't have an Xbox growing up and never was able to play the og gears, and was only able to play the first one when the Ultimate Edition came out on PC, I kinda wish we could both just play the whole series on PC one day.

[@tritonk1759]

Don't know if you'll see this, but on the Gears of War EU front I HIGHLY recommend the novels 'Jacinto's Remnant', 'Anvil Gate' and 'Coalition's End'. They chronicle the events between Gears 2 and Gears 3, like the disbanding of the COG and the beginning of the Lambent Pandemic. I also recommend the novel 'The Slab' which goes into detail on Marcus' trial, imprisonment and time in... the Slab prior to Gears 1.

[@Klavin]

27:59 Absolute tragedy, I remember asking friends a bunch of times if they wanted to do shadow of Raam specifically so I coulf play as the Theron Elite with the Elite Sawed off, the kill animation where you impale them in the air then shoot them in half was awesome.

Late to this video, but im surprised you haven't mentioned the long history of chainsaw jamming in Gears 2. If you chainsaw jam you can break out the map in multi-player as well as kill players from across the map. The game absolutely freaks out, you can even fight the NPCs in the background scenes during campaign. There's not alot of documentation of this glitch, every videos are almost 12-14 years old and aren't 100% accurate and missing alot of minor things. I've been wanting to make my own videos to showcase the wierd spots you can get to in the campaign, however I would need to buy an old Xbox 360 to do so

53:31 Beast Rider made an appearance as the Bloodmount rider. It might have been a sniper drone to help players cut down on the time lost from actually making their way to the COG enemies, but the savage boomer’s digger had enough range to make that unnecessary.

1:26:30 in Claytons Drill Sargent Skin in gears 5, you can see Ben's note he wrote to clayton in his back pocket covered in blood

5:00 for some reason, I crack up everytime I play Judgment and listen to Marcus delivering that line 😂😂 I don't know why, I think it's because Marcus says it with a bit of irony and a lot of anger as Marcus is always angry about anything 😂😂

43:10 Dom being traumatized was gonna happen anyways because who wouldn’t if they had to “Old Yeller” the love of their life. Boltok makes sense with its power. It’s big enough that her death was probably near instantaneous, putting her out of her misery as painlessly as possible

Now I know what I'm going to watch while sleeping

30:26 just like random extra info on this, you can't actually buy them anymore they removed all of the crossover characters from the store after the last gears of war 5 update, so this made them even more rare to see in matches. (i think the only way to get them now is trough keys from external webistes) And also you forgot to mention that in Gears of War 4 there were El-P and Killer Mike from Run The Jewels as multiplayer characters

Hell yeah! I can't wait to finish this Gears Iceberg.
