will all 3 of the squad members help???

[psyco blade]

my question is will all of marcus's teammates be following him threw the game and if they die are they dead threw the rest of the game could someone please help me on this.

[j-wrell]

i think that if they die, you cant complete the level. but, you can walk up and revive them when they are in the "down but not out" mode. thats what that feature is for

ok i hope your right!!!

[Uday23]

yeah he is right, i am pretty sure

[Cogsworth]

yeah i think thats right it would be pretty harsh if they die you cant use them again

[seph]

Mm, would be pretty dumb if you go through the game while Dom is dead.

[psyco blade]

you guys also forgot another quuestion i asked in that will all of the squadmates be going threw the game with you or just 1 of them be going threw the game with you???

[Locust Bait]

You always have at least 1 teammate with you. Sometimes you get more but you always have 1-3 teammates with you

[SkateXer99]

the first hour of the game is just you and Dom. Later you get more teammates.

[rEDChief55]

you are also able to fail in some missions if your team mate(s) die

[Unreal Apocalypse]

I have a theory that Dom is gonna die towards the end and Marcus will go insane with fury. ;)
Then in GoW2, they use some new imperfect technology to ressurrect him, but he is only an emotionless shell of what he used to be (or something).

*No I'm not crazy!*

Yes you are :D

Sorry to say, but that would be one of the worst tracks GoW could go down. When someone dies, they stay dead dammit :mad:

Unleeeeeeeeeesssssssss..........you walk up to them and press "X":D

[SkateXer99]

I always think Dom will die in the end. Like, the final cutscene.

Afterall, it's a dark game, that only gets darker.

[Shifty]

I think two of the people from the squad will bite the dust, Probably Barid and the other one is up in the air. Im a sap and I like all three so Ill be rooting for all of 'em.

[RIGOR_MORTIS]

Look people... The story HAS to progress. It's like Band of Bothers remember. They'll be back if they "die" in the level. The story would be GREATLY hindered if you let them die and they don't come back in the story. You've got to understand that.

[Scoopable]

thats why not letting you finish the mission if one of your team mates dies sounds good to me... actually sounds like it'll take more skill :D I didn't start COD2 on vetran for no reason :D

[MacheteMan7]

Come on, this isn't a Friday the 13th movie. If Dom dies, he's dead, or you'll fail the mission. I doubt he will die and come back in a sequel.

[Reconciliation]

Pretty much, unless they pulled something out of Warhammer 40k and had him return as a Dreadnaught like machine :confused:

you play that game to freaking sweet!!! i would school you:D :D

In some missions during the game, it's vital to keep all your teammates alive. If they die, you fail and start over. But in most of the missions, if one person dies you keep on going. And now I also have a feeling that Dom is going to die at the end now, that or Marcus is going to do some self-sacrifice that'll kill all the Locust.

If you read the Gears of War article "Death Comes Quickly" in June's issue of Official Xbox Magazine, this is what it says:

In most missions, Gears uses something Bleszinski calls a "down but not out" system. This works in your favor - if you have a squad mate poleaxed by heavy damage, he won't necessarily die. Instead, you'll be able to nurse him back to fighting health byu "slamming a stim shot into [him]." The challenge is, says CliffyB, is learning when to risk your neck during battle to get your downed colleague up and running.

In other areas, though, you'll have to keep aeveryone alive, as some levels will give you a Fail notation if anyone dies on your squad. "But the majority of the time, it's the player himself dying. You won't have to babysit your squadmates," explains Bleszinski.

That's the article word-to-word.

[Uday23]

^^o cool, i didnt know b/c i dont get OXM cool info, thanks

[psyco blade]

does that work in vise versa where you are in a down and not out stage and your teammates in the game can come up and heal you? beacouse there wase one game with starwars that did that and it was very fun!!!!!

[Uday23]

im not sure, maybe, i think i heard cliffy say that but i am not sure if he was talking about MP or SP, b/c in MP u can do it for sure, but we are not sure about SP yet

[psyco blade]

i hope so!!!

[MooseKnuckles]

Well, in Tom's post Cliffy says that the player will be the one dieing most of the time in SP, so that suggests that it won't be in there.

thats what i thought too, but maybe if u go into DBNO mode then they can revive u, but if ur instantly killed then they can't, and u have to start over

[psyco blade]

hmmm i wonder if there are medpacks in the game? and also i wonder if it heals the teamate fully when you revive em.

[Soul]

Medpacks = Probably not.

OXM Article that said Medpacks are fading away from all games :D

[psyco blade]

yeah your probably right but maybe hi helth slowly rgeberates or somthing that would be nice!!!

[Uday23]

yeah your probably right but maybe hi helth slowly rgeberates or somthing that would be nice!!!

i dont really understand that above, are u trying to say high health slowly regenerates........i well b/c i dont get that either

Explain:confused:

[psyco blade]

Sorry Kinda Wrote That Pretty Fast What I Am Trying To Say Is Do You Think Marcus's Health Will Slowley Regenrate?

[Soul]

Maybe, I don't think I've even seen a health bar in Gears of War, so you might never know, if it was to be realistic then you wouldnt heal over time and die eventually, making you be more carefull and think things out before you do it. :D

[psyco blade]

they would have to have check points or somthing couse it would suck if you were just hit by a grenade and you lost like 98& of your health and are almost done then all of a sudden out of no where you were shot in the head by a locust then have to start allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way back to the beginning!!!

Thats actually pretty fun, the more the challenge, the more fun the game can get and the more you play it. :D

yes it does, there is no health bar, play COd2, that is the same concept

[psyco blade]

i wouldnt like it that much eccpecialy if its a long level it would jus get frustrating!! but hey just thought of somthing cool the harder the difficulty the less check points there are!!! like in easy 3 medium 2 and hard 1!!!

[Soul]

yes it does, there is no health bar, play COd2, that is the same concept

Yep, I believe thats about right :)

[psyco blade]

i do have cod 2 and soul said that there is a health bar in GOW.

[Soul]

i do have cod 2 and soul said that there is a health bar in GOW.

*sigh* I said 'I don't think I've even seen a health bar in GoW'

[psyco blade]

ohhhhhhhhhhh ok sorry soul!!!

[Soul]

ohhhhhhhhhhh ok sorry soul!!!

Its ok, reading mistakes happen all the time :)

OXM Article said that medipacks, health kits, etc. Are Dissapearing in almost every game out there, as are HUDS, you see the HUDs are slowly vanishing as we progress through next gen gaming :)

[psyco blade]

se i dont realy like the hud going away couse in the king kong game i found my self constantly pressing B to see how much amo i had left.

[Flash1087]

I'd like HUDs to stay for important things.

Like how in the new Splinter Cell they ditched the light meter, that'd be kinda cool. But to take away health bars and ammo counters? No thanks.

They didnt technically ditch the light meter, the light meter is now on the gun, Green means not seen and red means seen(i think)

and the least amount of huds out there, the better (in my opinion) because then I get really attached to the game, not having to pay attention to huds and such I can pay attention to the action at hand and feel like I'm there watching Marcus run around blasting locusts. :D

[Flash1087]

It's actually on that green dohickey on his back, the thing that always glows in the older 3? The brightness of how green it is shows you how hidden you are.

Trouble is, you won't have it all the time.

[Uday23]

GoW has a halo/cod2 like regeneration system, and the only think on the screen is the ammo bar, objectives (only when they are issued or completed)and sometimes the command thing.........

[elite94]

i think dom will die in the very end of the game and it shows marcus like with one knee on the ground holding dom in his hands and sorta weeping,but not much, then the "the end" screen shows, then it tells the story about what happened after that and it shows marcus going to dom's funeral underneath a cherry blossom or sumthing while its playing sad dramatic music and every1 is dressed in black suits and dresses(ladies), (the first time we see marcus in a suit!:D) and they start lowering his casket into the ground then they put some dirt in the ground and all of the sudden the music stops and the wind sedles(however u spell it) and its quite for like 7 seconds and marcus looks up and around, then all of a sudden the locust start popping out of the ground and they look like different looking, then marcus takes out a istol, then starts running at them screaming, "MUTHERFU*KERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", then the screen goes black and the credits start rolling and then hard rock starts playing, now that would be the kick ass ending i would want!!! :D that would be the start of Where GoW2 Leads off of, like when you pop in GoW 2's disc it shows the funeral over again,then it does something. But....yeah i think they should call GoW 2 like Gears of War: The Fall of Man or something.

That goes along with my previous theory. You even get to see Dom buried, which is key in realizing that if he comes back, it's not really Dom. It wouldn't be some retarded full-on ressurection. It would only be a clone of Dom, that could have either a whole new personality, or no personality at all. This game is based some time in the future. Even now, although illegal, it is possible to clone stuff.;)

Also, since it's still not really Dom, Marcus would still hold a huge grudge against the enemy, so in the sequel you would get that "stronger, better, new and improved" feel which is just a good excuse to add cool new features to Marcus.(Example: Berserker mode, dual-wieldable shotguns, etc)

I never liked Dual-Wieldable Shotguns, Powerfull, yes, but if your dual wielding a rifle of some sort, I think it just becomes too much of a Immitation Rambo. Also, If Dom were to die and come back, i dont think a full-on ressurection, but the locust dig a tunnel underneath his grave, bring him into the depths of their home and perform experiments on his body, inserting different creatures organs into him, turning him a mutated creature having the military skills of Dom, the skills AND abilities of the creatures placed into his body(or attached to his body), I would make a sketch of this, but I truley dont know where I would start, looks cool in my head though.

Anyway, Marcus wouldnt know it was Dom, meaning he would still fight normally, but he will be fighting an even more powerful enemy, then later on in the game Marcus could go into the locust lair/home and find all the experimental equipment, pieces and bits of creatures, blueprints, xrays, surgical tables, and failed experiments layed in pits where brumaks can feast or something.

Other than that Idea, I think if someone dies in the game, they stay dead and arent in the sequel, unless you pass by their grave or something, but that would be it, maybe the graveyard could be in ruins and you find the remains of Dom's body.

[psyco blade]

why do so many of you think dom is gonna die that would just be stupid and then some of you are saying he is gonna be ressurected WTF? that is just plain retarded!!!




also if they made in number 2 where he can dual weild it would take most of the tactical game play out they want it to hvae some scify but still make it some way believeble and dual wielding would kinda be like a run and gun type thing it just wouldnt work out in the gears of war world.

[0v3rd0$3]

Id sure as all hell hope not man.thatd seriously screw you over later.possibly on the hardest difficulty,mmm?thatd be cool. -OD
