    Since the GEARS have bad ass droids with cloaking technology that's not detectable by the Locusts....why don't they use it for combat?

    We have Predator drones with Hellfire missiles, why not slap a rocket launcher on Jack? Or give the GEARS a combat armor that can cloak?

    Because it would completely defeat the feeling of "I'm a big badass with a big badass gun and I'm going to **** you up whether you can see me or not". Basically saying GEARS aren't the goddamn special ops. They're the trenchers. They get in and get dirty. Cloaking is for spec ops and Jack. Not Baird, or Cole.
    The enemy is on his knees. Six small craters leak blood over his tarnished armor, pooling around the single hand that remains to support his failing weight. He hears you aproaching, and tries to speak his defiance. All he manages is a blood soaked cough. Your foot slams down on his skull, and a thick, dull crunch can be heard as his skull shatters, the blood blossoming out around his deceased form like a crimson omen..

    damon has a point. maybe in the sequel they'll include a side story spec ops or something. would be interesting though.

    Damon, you're 100% right about the gritty trench warfare that GOW is all about. I'm so glad that's the game we got.

    I just want to see Fenix getting dropped deep underground in the Theron Guard base camp, in the Predator armor!!

    Cloaking..hmm, firing a missle while cloaked has a few inherent problems.... well for one it would completely compromise your stealth, and two it would defeat the purpose, its good for surprise but after the shock value is gone there would be counters...See where I'm going with this?

    cloaking. this is what i would do with cloaking. *pulls out longshot and walks into what is normally open field. caps long range enemy and dodge rolls a few times away to let enemy investigate sound. comes up behind enemy and tags each one with a grenade and uncloaks. enemies would turn around but then would explode with that "wth just happened" expression on their mugs.*

    that about sums up what i would do and why there is a 90% that such a thing will not be implemented.

    Hi Guys...

    I totally agree on the perspective regarding impact to mulitplayer game play. (Not a good idea)

    However, in terms of the characters and story go, I think it's interesting question to ask, what's next on tech tree as the Locust counter attack with new and more deadly strategies?

    Humans get Cloaking the Locust get Thermal goggles...the Humans counter that, the Locust start Hijacking Sattelites...I dunno, it would be quite crazy.

    although it would be kind of funny to see the Cole Train come out of a cloak saying "IM THE COLE TRAIN BABY!!!"

    Or instead of "im the cole train" in would be funnier if cole(being a big black guy) would say "im the juggernaut b**ch!!"
