    Default Poor Onyx Guard. in the storyline it's summer

    Ok so Gears 3 is based on summer time in sera.
    So they had to ditch the big heavy armor so it doesn't get hot and stuffy.

    So Why does the Onyx Gaurd Have all over armor and plus its black?
    So the armor is head to toe so no real airflow can go through. plus its black which absorbs more heat from the sun than any other color.

    So I'm just wondering how do the onyx guards survive wearing their suit in the summer on sera??? Does it have Internal Air Conditioning inside?

    I'm not a firm believer that the Seran Summer was the sole reason why the Gears wore less armour in GOW3 (although I agree it certainly would have contributed). I think its more likely a combination of the disbanding of the COG, and that factories were no longer operating to meet the demand of military equipment.

    Once the COG disbanded and people splintered off into their own small groups, military discipline would have had a shakedown. With a lack of officers nearby, Gears would have operated largely by their own rules, carrying what they felt they would need rather than what they were ordered to carry.

    Full body armour would have had a high attrition rate - once it's suffered the trauma of being hit by a bullet it's integrity is greatly reduced, and needs to be replaced. With no factories pumping out replacements, Gears were just going without.

    The Onyx Guard, as far as we know were relatively removed from the fighting during the second half of the war (after Adam Fenix and many key scientists were evacuated to Azura by Prescott). Now since Azura was undiscovered and untouched until the events at the end of Gears 3, the Onyx Guards equipment would have been in sterling condition, and I'm guessing they had stockpiles of armour and weapons there as well. Also, the OG are elite, and odds are their body armour was of a much higher quality than the regular Gears - most likely stronger, lighter, better range of movement and better heat disipation.

    This is just my opinion
