This is where Gears Of War goes into Resident Evil territory

niles: welcome back do you now have proper identification?
marcus: oh yeah... i got some identification for ya.

Did 4yrs of military service and i love GOW so much. The military humor, slander on higher command i.e. prescott, Governments doing shady stuff etc. It is all too accurate

The Locust being COG experiments has got to be one of the biggest plot twists ever.

I'll take "games I shouldn't have been playing when I was a kid" for 50 😂That room at the end with all the sires gave me nightmares for weeks

This is when Gear was cooking… You had a horror misdirect, leading to a puzzle lore dump and the real horror reveal, then a battle with ranged enemies in combination with weather obstacles. I wish newer games were half this good.

There's something disturbing about the fact that all this happened from a medical treatment gone wrong

Probably the most important mission lorewise, the origin of the locusts.

There were so many unsettling questions left unanswered here.
They sent Delta here to find the Nexus. Why would a classified government science facility have that specific location?
Why were the grubs just hanging around and Niles barely mentions them? (if at all...)
How was Niles powered up for so long? Wouldn't the power lines have been cut?
Wtf was razor hail? (That is straight up demonic weather 😂)
And most of all, how did Baird fit that huge blast charge in the Centaur?

Am I the only one remembering how scary the mission was?

I experienced this mission once over a decade ago and its one of the best parts of the gears franchise imo. Still comes to mind when I think of Gears!

Two things:
1.) I wished Gears 5 made mentions about Dom.
2.) I wish there were a game that centers around Niles and New Hope, sort of like shady dealings.

For me, this mission in GOW2 was just as iconic as when Leon Kennedy first showed up at the RPD.

2:15 I love how awkward this plays out lmao I bet Marcus was off guard hearing his voice

When i was a kid my favorite part of Gears of War 2 was chainsawing through the riftworms heart arteries 😅

Gears 2 was the best campaign of the bunch

whos here after the e-day showcase 😃

I kind of like how this isn't really explored any further in 3. It makes what happened there feel that much more ominous and wrong by having your mind fill in the worst details.

the best mission in all video game history

nothing will bring this instance back
this is a pure demonstration of being an artist

I think the locust there were a cleanup crew to keep the sires from escaping. There’s so many flamethrower units it’s quite obvious they wanted to contain the facility.
