**psyco blade** · 07-06-2006, 01:54 AM

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** · 07-06-2006, 01:59 AM

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

**Uday23** · 07-06-2006, 02:06 AM

yeah he is right, i am pretty sure

**Cogsworth** · 07-06-2006, 07:19 AM

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

**seph** · 07-06-2006, 08:47 AM

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

**psyco blade** · 07-06-2006, 10:33 AM

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** · 07-07-2006, 06:50 PM

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

**SkateXer99** · 07-08-2006, 03:18 AM

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

**rEDChief55** · 07-08-2006, 03:44 AM

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

**Unreal Apocalypse** · 07-09-2006, 12:02 AM

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

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

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

**SkateXer99** · 07-09-2006, 04:43 AM

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

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

**Shifty** · 07-09-2006, 06:38 AM

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** · 07-09-2006, 09:51 AM

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** · 07-09-2006, 10:10 AM

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

I didn't start COD2 on vetran for no reason

**MacheteMan7** · 07-09-2006, 11:16 AM

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** · 07-09-2006, 01:54 PM

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

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

**Tom** · 07-09-2006, 07:44 PM

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.

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

**psyco blade** · 07-09-2006, 10:10 PM

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!!!!!

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** · 07-09-2006, 10:16 PM

i hope so!!!

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** · 07-09-2006, 10:21 PM

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** · 07-09-2006, 10:26 PM

Medpacks = Probably not.

OXM Article that said Medpacks are fading away from all games

**psyco blade** · 07-09-2006, 10:32 PM

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

**Uday23** · 07-09-2006, 11:03 PM

Explain

**psyco blade** · 07-09-2006, 11:09 PM

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

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.

**psyco blade** · 07-09-2006, 11:18 PM

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.

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

**psyco blade** · 07-09-2006, 11:22 PM

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!!!
