replies: text: I think it's worth noting. There's been wide interest in the media, and it's something multiple third-party sources have reported on. It's gotten much more attention than trivia such as John DiMaggio's unrelated voiceover work, Eric Nylund's involvement, Megadeth or even the connection and references to Terry Tate. It's sourced, it's true, and I see no reason for it to be deleted. Again, it's just worth noting. -- Viewdrix 21:36, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Gears currently holds the #14 spot on Gamerankings.com, with an average score of 95.0%, on their list of games with at least 20 reviews, which is their standard.
Lead Designer Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski cited Resident Evil 4's quick pacing and emphasis on "memorable moments" as a major influence on Gears of War in an interview with Game Informer, and promised the game would have the presentation of this game be cinematic in scope, and chaotic, destructible environments would be an important aspect of gameplay.

thread_title:  Gameplay 

message: This is probably a minor issue, but the camera angle should shift to perhaps a 75-degree angle when your character takes cover.  When you're hiding behind cover, there's no way you should have a clear view of what's in front of the cover you are hiding behind.  Your line of sight should be somewhat parralel to the object you are leaning against, allowing you to partially see what's in front of the cover and what's behind the cover.  Only when you pull the left trigger to pop out of cover should the camera angle shift to the panoramic view of what's in front.  The biggest flaw of the current cover system is NOT the ability to see what's in front of the cover when in reality you shouldn't be able to, but the INABILITY TO SEE WHAT'S BEHIND THE COVER, when in reality you should have some sort of peripheral vision; in other words, the camera angle should provide A MORE APPROPRIATE BLIND SPOT when using cover.  This just dawned on me when I was playing on Xbox live and was able to sneak up on someone while he was taking cover due to the inaccurate blind spot.Fighterforjc 21:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

message: How come there isn't anything on glitches or any gaming issues with the game?
Most common one is the mic issue. People join a game and can't hear other players. People try several things to fix it in-game, greatly interfering with the gameplay.
Then there are glitches on maps. One is at the Fuel Depot where on the hanger side you can get ontop of a crate, and can't get down from it. If playing execution, it is impossible to be killed by any of the standard weapons. AJFederation 09:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: He meant that if you get on that crate, you can be downed, but you can't be executed because of Execution's rules. The only way to kill someone on that crate in Execution is Hammer of Dawn, Torque Bow, Sniper, possibly pistol headshots, or an amazingly well-thrown grenade. In Warzone, you can go on top of the crate, you can just die from being shot with the Assault Rifle. -- Viewdrix 16:56, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bingo. Exactly that. Most objects that a player can jump on also allow them to get off. This particular crate does not allow that. As soon as one makes it up there they are stuck until the round is over. If there are no special weapons on the map, that player is invinceable. AJFederation 14:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The biggest concern expressed by almost every player I have crossed online is the communication trouble. It is inexplicable, and the attempts to remedy it interfere with the game. Some restart the match-up. Others restart their Xbox. Then there are few that actually disconnect their internet. The trouble is seen in all kinds of forms it is ridiculous to list them out. This is the only Xbox Live game that I know of that has such an issue. There is no mention of it here. Does there have to be an article posted online somewhere to include this information? Afterall, no player online can say they have never had this happen. AJFederation 14:23, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Who removed the criticism section? Just because you're a fan of GoW, and you want to remove any trace of criticism, doesn't mean that there is no criticism. BTW, just in case someone starts getting angry at me, I am in fact a fan of Gears of War, but it annoys me that there are people who mess it all up.

replies: text: I'm not sure what the Criticism section was on the 24th, but the section that is currently there is not relevant for this article.  This is an article on Gears of War, therefore the criticism section should include information on what Gears of War has been criticized for.  The current section has nothing to do with Gears of War, but instead relates to GameSpot's editorial staff and their decisions.  As such, it should be removed.  If editors find notable criticism of the game itself, they can add a criticism section back into the article with the information.  --Rodzilla 06:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

text: the section in question, i.e. GoW winning Gamespot's game of the year instead of Zelda, cannot constitute criticism. it might at best an editorial or mathematical anomaly, but even so that is tenuous, because such awards are surely awarded with a fair amount of discretion.

message: This probably isn't too big of an issue, but i am feeling that there should be a section on gears of war weapons in this article somewhere, nothing too major, just thinking it should happen.
Boomshot 7:59, 8 January 2007
Already covered - Gears of War features a small variety of weapons, following other first-person shooter weapons sets with assault rifles, shotguns, pistols and sniper rifles One of the most notable weapons is the game's signature firearm, the Lancer (an assault rifle with a chainsaw bayonet). Single player missions usually carry over weapons from previous missions, while multiplayer matches provide players with a smoke grenade, Lancer, Snub pistol, and Gnasher shotgun, while more powerful weapons such as explosive crossbows and grenade launchers can be found in strategic locations.
All the detail  required for a general readers encyclopedia. --Charlesknight 13:08, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm tempted to write a bit under reception about the recent issue with the GoW patch, specifically focusing on the removal of the host names from Ranked matched, only because this has become a significant issue with MS' TrueSkill certification, and the like.  Mind you, writing such a section in a neutral voice is absolutely necessary.  However, I don't know how worthwhile it is, and put the question up for discussion before adding it. --Masem 06:13, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Has to have a source, or it's Original Research. I'd guess that if you looked hard enough, though, you could find an actual news article or report about fan objections. Or look for articles in which the removal of Host names was announced within the patch, and look at the negative comments people posted to the article (a feature on multiple sites such as 1UP.com). Saying that reaction was negative to the specific change and using articles with negatively toned user comments as sources sounds like a reasonable solution.  -- Viewdrix 06:49, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Why would these details be important to Wikipedians who are only interested in learning about the game itself? If a criticisms section is to be considered, it'd be based on harsh critic reception or a group of media personalities condemning the game over certain aspects, and not how the game 'doesn't show the host's name in ranked matches'. It also sounds like you're venting personal frustrations that would be better served on the Gears of War forums. Jecrell 10:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: See WP:ILIKEIT. Just because you liked the commercial doesn't mean it deserves it's own section here. As far as commercials go, GOW's wasn't the most original. It's just a teaser with Mad World. --Scottie theNerd 06:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

text: An encyclopedia does not contain "any relevant information", and Wikipedia too has guidelines you should read before pushing for inclusion of content. The impact of the advertisement has already been mentioned in the Mad World article; there is no need to include it here, especially as Wikipedia does not condone Trivia lists. Also, be aware that content on Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, so saying you can "guarantee" something is considered original research. --Scottie theNerd 02:26, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a flash piece on gearsofwar.com called 'Inside the Mind of Marcus Fenix' that is loaded with lots of info and dialogue concerning the Gears of War story. I am trying to figure how to add this in. I have nearly the entire scripts down for each segment on there. They are called: What In the Hell Are They? - Safe, For How Long? - IF WE ONLY KNEW - FIGHT or DIE. So far I don't see a simply solution to adding them into the story. I may need to create a new page to the Gears of War article to add it, but I though I would get some thoughts as where it should properly be placed. I also believe that by adding this, there ought to be several other parts from the game manuals and guides, Destroyed Beauty, and some Epic Staff interviews added in. Of which should expand the story section to another article. Thoughts? AJFederation 09:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you hit the point though not the one you likely wanted: by including a lot of the extra information found from sources connected to but outside the game, you'll find so many things to add for a backstore to a video game that really doesn't belong, at least at the present time, in WP - it's more fancruft than useful encyclopedic information.  I think there's nothing wrong with adding links mentioning that more story information can be found elsewhere, but unless it is absolutely critical to understanding the video game, I think it's better not to include the content on the main page.  If GoW becomes a significant series, a single story page for it all may then be appropriate which can include this info, but presently, I'd refrain on adding it. --Masem 11:44, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

However, there seems to be some disagreement as the game is a remastered version of the first game in the series and not a totally new release, as next year's Gears of War 4 will be. However, as the game features new levels not present in the original Xbox 360 release, that wouldn't necessarily be true that it's just a remaster. What is the thought on this of the community?  --McDoobAU93 14:04, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The template doc just says "The title of the most recent game in the series".  It doesn't mention any requirement about it needing to be an original title so I assume it is okay to list Ultimate Edition. If anyone disagrees it should probably be brought up at Template talk:Infobox video game series so that the template doc can be updated to clarify whether remasters are included or not. --The1337gamer (talk) 14:21, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

text: Reasonable fair to list it. If it was just a straight-up port/digital rerelease on Xbox one, that I would not include, but extra work has been put into this to make it a different title. --MASEM (t) 14:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

message: the article says "The Gears of War series takes place on a fictional Earth-like planet named Sera, colonized by humans some time in the series' past." this is not true in gearsverse because earth does not exist in it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.98.211.15 (talk) 04:09, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm amazed there's still really nothing in the "Setting" section about Gears of War 4.  Just a very brief mention.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.12.80.220 (talk) 16:13, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
