Gears of War RTS

[Azog 150]

The Gears of War universe has lots of potential and I think an RTS would be great. It could be in a similar vain to Company of Heroes or Dawn of War (But with out base building), but still keep it Badass with the dark mood of Gears of War.

You could have it from E-Day onwards as you try to organize the COG defense, or obliterate it as the Locust. It could have cool close combat kills, and maybe some familiar faces.

I think it would be great. As long as the AI for your squad and the enemy was smart enough to take cover and move in to make chainsaw kills it would be superb and I would definitely play it.

Imagine playing as the Locust, tunneling underground or sending in a Brumak. Or playing as the COG's and you fly in on your Ravens and kick some arse.

Yes or No?

Gears of War RTS would kick a hundred more times ass than Halo Wars! Possibly every Gear might have an individual name, or at least individual squads that are upgradeable and you can become attached to.


A platoon of Gears is fighting down a stretch of crucial highway crucial to taking back Ephyra from the Locust, as the highway drives a wedge between the COG forces if held by said Locust.

The Gears start by gaining a foothold with one squad, and then moving in with reinforcements from other squads to spread out and flank the Locust. Pushing forward, the Gears close up several emergence holes before engaging in close quarters.

Suddenly, an Emergence Hole opens up behind the Gears! They take up defensive positions, but suffer casualties. No problem, one squad charges and manages to get a grenade in before retreating after taking heavy damage. The COG moves in with more squads and engage the enemy on a single front, a line.

As the battle rages, Boomers come up and start firing. Luckily, the Gears have already positioned several snipers in key locations, who quickly pick off the Boomers and make short work of Theron Guards that begin to pour up from the ground. There seems to be too many Locust, until the Gears manage to get close enough to close up the immediate Emergence Holes.

With the battle nearing to a close, but explosions and chaos on all fronts, the Gears push forward and form a hard line against the remaining Locust. Suddenly a Berserker comes up from the ground and charges! No problem, the Gears move up with a "Buster" rocket launcher and fire, the rocket spiraling through the air with a thick smoke trail behind it. The explosive flies true and the charging Berserker disappears in a cloud of black smoke and debris.

The Gears cry victory and charge the Locust, destroying them in close-quarters combat with chainsaws and shotguns. Finally the COG drop in a Hammer of Dawn and the Gears finish off the remnants of the Locust, including their Seeder in the back.

The day ends in victory.

I have soooooo many ideas for a Gears of War RTS, it has such great potential for a RTS.

[fatninja]

[SHOGUN 47]

Thats would be so freakin sweet, becuase RTS is my 2nd favorite genra of games next to action adventure RPG's

[Phayte]

Thered be one problem though... The gears HAVE to lose

I would only like the idea if the infantry takecover where you tell them that seriously would be so sick! and a defo money maker, Epic could make it after Gears 3 like Halo are doing and by doing this it will be and extremely advanced RTS (hopefully not do what EA did to CNC :mad:)

Along side supporting it and feeding ideas, I think I can find it. I'm big on RTS games, it's my forte, so if Gears became an RTS game I would wet myself. The only thing that will keep me from playing the next Gears of War is Starcraft 2! God Damn you Blizzard!!!
