[@RickyFenn]

Look how beautiful this game is man. The darkness and gritty nature of the setting, the way you can out play someone, the way you can punish a poorly time wall bounce instead of people on single stick bouncing off a million walls like a dumbass, strafing > wall bouncing, there’s literally a clutch factor. This is the best gears hands down.

[@ibrahimconteh7843]

Ong the graphics had a dark, gloomy, doomed feeling to it that immersed you in the gameplay a made u feel like u were right there with the characters. The story mode felt like a horror film or a nightmare. The new gears look cartoonish with bright vivid colors, and a light-hearted storymode makes me feel like im watching an Avengers movie.

[@RickyFenn]

@@ibrahimconteh7843 bro facts! The dark gritty nature of it is what sucked me in (pause). The horror side of it was the best bit. The kryll levels were unreal. Baird was funny enough, he had witty humour, we don’t need every character having that’s shit. Gears 2 was similar and the brothers to the end DLC was incredible. The new gears online and story really are nowhere near what gears of war is imo.

[@Messi-Only]

I always felt like 2 was a direct upgrade in every way why is everyone saying 1 is better?

[@jclark176]

​@Messi-Only sorry but 2 was awful. Movement was worse. Hammerburst was way too OP. Stopping power was soooo trash. 1 is the best and always will be. I played 1 literally everyday and when 2 came out I just stopped. Hated it.

[@arronklein2122]

Your wrong GOW1 is wayyyyyy better not even close ​@@Messi-Only

[@ReconFacks]

This game is where the true OGs were born. Not even GoW 2 nor the 3 this is where the game was at. I really miss those days playing this game non stop all night long with my friends.

[@sho7gunx63]

Couldn’t agree more. Lived on this for a couple of years. I played Warzone though. Raven Down 19-2 was the game type. Pure shotty map. Gammertag was Sho7gunx, Was in the top 100 until the boards got hacked. Currently 104 all time.

[@Butcho22]

Yeah my buddy and I were stoked for Gears 2 but after playing it for like 30 minutes we went back to Gears 1 and played it for like 8 straight years. Are people still playing? I'd love to get back into it

[@joshjacobs4595]

@@sho7gunx63I recognise your gamertag from all those years ago. I used to be in leaderboards myself but only got down to about 800. Still 40k in kills though with a 3.1 KD. Legendary times

[@keiran5170]

​@@sho7gunx63yo me and my mate use to play this religiously i feel like ive seen your name before, I joined in later than everyone else 2008/09, my mate is currently ranked 2400 on warzone. Gamertags were xIBLACKSMURFIx/ xIEXPLODEDIx

[@Butleybadboy]

Gears 1 is still the best game I've ever played and I'm 48 now just pure class 👌

[@Stranzua]

This game was perfect because it didn't have any map cameras or ghost cameras. If you die you only see what your teammates see, and that's how it should be.

[@jeremycanas679]

That and party chat wasn’t a thing. You couldn’t help your teammate who was alive and just had to deal with talking shit lol

[@DARKMADNESS666]

Was wall bouncing a thing back then? I feel that is part of why gears sucks now that's all people do is wall bounce

[@Stranzua]

@@DARKMADNESS666 No, but host was really cheap. In my opinion, it was the limited movement and the ability to be sneaky that made the first one great. Plus, flanking wasn't ruined by loud ass footsteps.

[@JustinLodes]

It was always a thing but if you’re host or have a really fast connection it allows you to do it more proficiently and gives you a major advantage

[@TSyoyo]

You could cycle through cameras on the map when you died and watch your team..

[@bwana4711]

Gears 1 - where not every shotgun battle ends in a gib after the first shot. Amazing competitiveness.

[@PtearGriffin4]

Great video. I loved this game so much. The sound of that torque bow is sick and when I heard the draw sounds at 4:37 literally chills.

[@Denimzxl]

i just to get so hype hearing that sound lol

[@OneBern]

U HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD WHEN U SAID GOW 1 SOUND EFFECTS ARE ELITE! … THE SOUND OF THAT SNIPER USED TO LITERALLY SCARE PEOPLE LOL I MISS THE GOOD OLE DAYS

[@locomojoboy2]

GoW1 had the best sniper and headshot sound effects

[@NotHere2SellCookies]

I still jump when I get headshotted

[@Rawr93]

Great too see gears of war content back!! you been killing it

[@Dyl-fc3wk]

The ending was great. There’s something about this game that makes it feel personal lol

[@adamschneider5755]

It’s funny seeing your social handles and cash app and thinking “wait did we have those when gears 1 was out?” Looked it up and twitter came out the same year as Gears 1. Just crazy how time flies and feel the same about what you said that even though it’s not the same it’s better than not having gears at all ❤️

[@BlueClover-lw3gw]

I miss War Machine

[@Vogenatorr]

Incredibly refreshing playing this game again because the movement is capped in a very big way compared to all the other gears.

[@heartattack-gearsbootcampt3035]

Glad to see people playing it more now, I played it earlier this year and the servers were down but I joined off recent players. Glad they fixed it

[@kristiannolasco8451]

I was playing this last night and was astonished on how good the gnasher was and managed to get into a snipe lobby to my own surprise I still got it

[@keifcuadras9742]

Your commentary is very funny lol host is general raam from the campaign on drugs😂I grew up watching my brother play this game and I never really got a chance to play it when it was so popular but im happy it's had a resurgence lately

[@GregAliano]

Thanks for posting bro 🤙

[@alexsummers3700]

I remember it was a HUGE advantage back in the day on who was host. Whoever was host would always be absolutely savage with the least amount of delay

[@k4rd392]

Ngl y'all should come back to gow1 and 2 for matches bro. This type of videos are a whole mood

[@Jimmeeehhh]

You can hold the Y button to direct the camera to your nearest teammate. Good if there's only 2 of you left. They don't need to be downed.

[@TheHamSammyMan]

I'm about to get a 360 just for this game. This was my favorite game for such a long time an all the sequels were worse than the first. I think it's bc you could wall bounce but it slows u down after the 2nd bounce so you had to play slower an shoot more accurately

[@just_pew]

bro that headshot on mansion his body was still standing and his blood was squirting i dont remember this game being that gorey as a kid omfg lmaoooo

[@bwana4711]

Amazing game. The OG. Yes to Mansion too!!!

[@PoisondBacon]

Hell ya I can tell ur a gears OG 😎 good shit

[@daron5197]

my fav gears

[@michaelarmendariz6705]

I need to relearn how to play this… lol 😂 I hopped on and I’m like wow I’m terrible

[@WarioIsMario]

I remember my Gears 1 buddies and I would try to win lobbies with no active reloads and how much shit we'd talk when we did haha

[@georgeleinberger8670]

Random shotgun spread. Good or bad? Also, 5 second DBNO is a counter to active snipe downs.

[@CliffyyyP]

Pure nostalgia, you playing this on the Series X? Also how would I go about finding people to play, just posting online or are there actually still live matches in the server search?

[@Mr.FML45]

i would like to see your walkthought of all the gow games still but thats just me

[@mrbmro3991]

Keep playing and keep doing gears 1 videos. I'll be joing soon. Question, are you using an Xbox 360 or did you download this game on the Xbox 1?

[@nayr]

the shots are from the hip with shotgun, in ue it was the center of the screen, but ya i just loved the maps characters and how to play the scenarios etc. I been playing it and have loads of fun even when I lose its still fun. the connection is normally not the greatest in rank but its whatever. I like that the game skill based. pretty sure strive was host that 2nd game as well as you said you found the game quick and i think he was playin with vape and liquid. idk how that zeta guy is i saw someone else named zeta who was streaming 1 but idk if thats the same person

[@Headsetjones]

I still play too. Was hoping to see my name in the lobby lmao

[@OscarMauricioRR]

Love this videos ❤

[@sho7gunx63]

It’s the best Gears. Lived on it. Warzone was my game type, and Raven Down all day baby

[@sho7gunx63]

Was Top 100 Alltime Warzone for a few years. Boards got hacked and now I’m 104. Sho7gunx is the GT. Always done Shotgun 1v1 battles.

[@kevinkiefer70]

Are ranked lobbies filling up? I would love to just play canals, grid, and war machine all night lol.

[@businessmonkey4726]

Blind fires are dead center of screen... No matter if you're on cover or standing. My favorite part of this game versus all others

[@huntergrey1234]

This game is where the legends were born. This no doubt the best gears game

[@SplitsxxSeas764]

This game man...legendary...try looking fir Zotor here Icy ...he is a legendary host Lancer chainsaw set up...if he had a public record of his stats...wow it would be example 100 kills 8 deaths

[@pyroadambomb9980]

Zeta or Lui Lurkin and some from that camp are def some of the best claw players and rodie runners in Gow 1 they been for the past few years. I know every good player that ever played gow 1 and the best people till this day, Zeta always eats even in UE lol

[@charliehoss1614]

How can you still play this? Grew up on this 2006 in high school.. been thinking about this game lately. I have a ps5 now but curious as to how you’d play it on current Xbox?

[@stefansb]

oh man this game!! i was so close to top 100

[@Enigmatus23]

Man I miss gears old gamertag was Tom of Albion if anyone ever came across me playing

[@peterpoli2839]

Everything about this game is difficult. You know someone's awful at gears 1 pretty much instantly, aiming is hard, moving is hard. But it's still a blast, the game is so gritty yet so lightweight compared to these bloated games we have nowadays that spam all sorts of information at you with medals and radio chatter. Gears 1 doesn't even show you the score on the HUD, just your ammo and that's it. Loved this game. Tho i do think the one shot longshot downs were excessive..

[@bornmuser215]

the one shot long shot down is only on an active reload if I remember correctly.

[@peterpoli2839]

@@bornmuser215 Yeah but I mean active reloads are literally just mini quick time events you just pay attention and you get them

[@pyroadambomb9980]

I never stop playing Gow 1 all this time greater Hero and Zeta i been playing for months there good players, before the servers were back up the only way you can find a match. You would have to go to your recent players list, and if anybody was on you would join session in progress.

[@chancefoy6287]

Bro I was only 7 when this game came out, but I was sooooo good for my age used to do game battles with my brother, and I remember all of the 1v1 sniper canal fights, or the 4v4 on depot. Man the best days of gaming for me. I even dotted my tv, and I remember 1v1ing an old player named milkbone if you remember him, and I fucking lost to him by 1 round. Fuck I miss it. Also what sets this game apart, aside from the grittiness of it is the fucking rag dolls! You could curb stomp someone and kick them across the map if you moved during it right 😂

[@JustinLodes]

Yeah you were fighting against Zeta. He’s a top player and also has a very good connection.

[@andrebennett1596]

2:10 he tries sliding to non-cover ☠️ in ultimate edition he would have gotten the slide though

[@DeepFrydTurd]

GOW 2006 -2023 WOOOOOOHHHH I live this shit

[@locomojoboy2]

After watching the last video I had the desire to try go old school and downloaded GoW2 and get on mp. Not only could I not find a match, but I could not get used to the clunkiness of the controls. So I deleted it and downloaded GoW3. Even though I didn’t do as well as others I had a blast. The most fun I had playing a gears game in a long time. But how the hell do you wallbounce in that game because I see some doing it so fast. Also the backA is slow as hell.

[@peterpoli2839]

I have no idea how to use the sniper in this game btw, there's too much 'magic' involved with how the actual hitboxes are and where the actual players are. I originally thought it was lag but it turns out it seems to be more rooted in the actual game itself.

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

Yes, gears 1 is deeply flawed and people just have nostalgia goggles on lmao. People who say "wallbouncing bad" are actually just outing themselves as noobs

[@peterpoli2839]

​@@EA_SP0RTCENTER are u calling me a noob? Genuine question, i'm not sure if I understood what you're saying.

[@EA_SP0RTCENTER]

@@peterpoli2839 no 😅 i mean you never said anything about wallbouncing

[@Ty1ore]

It’s crazy to hear how y’all talk, makes me feel old (30) gears 1 had a charm and a skill level like no other game, played 2, and 3 heard others after sucked, I was a sniper back then, blinds fires across the map, 1v1 snipe fights to win the round, most of the time I’d dominate a normal player, but I wasn’t no like butter or ice man, probably don’t know what I’m talking about, any way would pick up the snipe every round and do work, long time ago… the way the sniper worked essentially was one you had to account for “lag” shot registration as you said built into the game, and 2 you had to put their head in the middle of the screen you do both, 8 times out of 10 the shot will go where you want to go, whether you hard aim, quick aim (pop shot) quick scope (zoomer) or whatever, you’ll hear that oh so satisfying sound.

[@Ty1ore]

@@EA_SP0RTCENTERits “flaws” was its charm, sure getting stuck on walls, and super jumping to get out of maps using the hammer and stuff was buggy, host was annoying, but the only thing that felt off a lot of times was the shotgun, everything else felt great, if you studied and had skill you would dominate.

[@Marc.c03]

Ngl I miss when you had to get some shots off to get the active reload instead of the automatic one you get in the new games. That doesn't feel right

Yeah watched you on another guy's channel getting smashed on gears 1. Definitely not your strongest game. Some people are good at a few gears games, some are beasts at all of them. This and gears 2 are the most skill based. Gears 3 is too but rifles started getting more op. And sawed off is just a dumb concept. Because it helped weak players 1 shot instead of them learning how to utilize the gnasher. And this and 2 was more realistic movement before all the gears 4 and 5 ice-skating.
