I miss it too. It's one of my favorite series. Can't wait to see how Gears 4 is looking.

Gears 1 had so much hype I'll never forget it.
I got it at a midnight release and there were easily 70 people in line that stretched out the door and around the building. People were high fiving each other, exchanging gamertags and shit it was great.

Gears 1 was the pinnacle of my MP life. My favorite game ever for its MP. The gnasher and close quarters shooting combat were amazing. Of course, now that I'm no longer in high school and working full time, I don't have nearly as much time for gaming. But best believe if a remaster comes out for XBone... My cousin, high school bud and I will find time for Gears MP.

haha yeah it's pretty funny - spoiler from a game last gen from what, 5 years ago? if you really were a gears fan you'd most likely know that anyway.
the statute on spoilers should expire after this long.

Even if you missed a game for whatever reason... the title seems like if you were waiting to play them that it would ring alarm bells for spoilers, or at the possibility somewhere of it happening were quite high.
I don't see why OP has to censor themselves, on the other hand, shouldn't other people stop and think about spoilers before they enter the thread? If this was about Gears 4 and it was a few months/years old I'd agree but... it shipped in September 2011

Gears was great. I hope they continue the series on X1 and it's high caliber like the first 3.

There was nothing like GEOW1 MP, I played it for 3.5 years straight. Not even the sequels captured the feeling of the first GEOW in terms of it's multiplayer for some reason. They just got slower in comparison and I never knew why. It's the reason I never stuck to play the sequels as much as I did the first one. I hope the new one will get back to the old smooth feel of the first game.

I remember working at EB Games when the first Gears was released. At the time, I didn't own a 360. After selling multiple copies of the game, and hearing all sorts of amazing things about it, I went and bought a 360 after graduating highschool (2007).
A bit late to the party, but the first game I picked up was GoW. It really blew me away.

Such a fun series that didn't take itself too seriously. Ludicrously fun gun-play too, I haven't played another third person shooter that controls as well or is as satisfying for shooting.

I can't wait for a collection. It has to be coming, right?

Remember the Mad World commercial for Gears 1? That shit sold Xbox 360s
TMCC has been in my X1 for quite a while now. Pretty much every time I get done with it I think how awesome it would be to pop in a Gears collection.
Soon.
Soon.
Whoa, back up. Don't generalize all of us Floridians.
Recently binged throught Gears 1 and 2 in a single session with a buddy who had only glimpsed at the glorious co-op experience that is Gears.
There's really not anything like it out there right now. Lots of friends were playing it, getting together for couch sessions of Horde with two 360's hooked up locally, the works. I miss the experience and am sorta baffled after the onslaught of cover-based shooters that followed suit there hasn't been another serious attempt at emulating the Gears success. Totally expected Sony to go the route. The Order doesn't count, no co-op.

Me too OP. What I miss most is the enemy variety. You never new what was going to come at you next. Most other shooters can't match it.

They get way smoother and faster at each iteration though. Even after playing the Gears 3 beta for the week or whatever I found it hard to get back into 2 after that because of how much better 3 felt than the rest. It was mechanically tighter and more consistent as well, just an all around improvement for the series.
I have all the Gears games backlogged because I don't have anyone who can play through them with me co-op. I tried playing with the AI and in the very first game Dom kept running into an area of darkness and getting insta-killed by these bat-like creatures. No amount of reloading fixed it, his AI would continue running into this spot and getting killed.
Shame, the series was the main reason I finally picked up a 360.

I just miss the first game. Really didn't have much connection to the series after that despite playing them all.
We were getting really sentimental about the game the other night. From Gears 1 - 3 we played the crap out of, any spare time which was pretty much always because we were younger then. I have lots of recording of our old Gears matches and how we often steam rolled oppositions and our party chats during those time :') Good times. I miss it. Please Microsoft make a good versus mode in Gears 4 and not the complete taint Judgement. I want to play Gears again.

Something Gears of War should appear at this years E3 right?
I don't have a 360 anymore and just want to play Gears 3 ranked one more time, it's been like 2 years :[
Oh man that's a great one, 2 really disappointed me but the last day trailer was great, the feeling of impeding doom due to the dropship to the locust hive
So goood
This part in the trailer back in the day got me so hyped.
Great commercials for that franchise, I want a new one even more now.

Awesome franchise. Hoping we get a Gears collection on the One. Also pumped to see a current gem version of the franchise under the new Dev team.

Best campaign - 2
Fave multiplayer - 3
Biggest wow these visuals at the time - 1
I really want to see gears 3 multi on xbox one, collection or otherwise.

I just really hope the new Gears is a sequel and not a prequel. And bring locust back o the multiplayer please.
Either way Rod Fergusson seems to notice the failure of Judgement and said that they cant go changing a lot of stuff so it sounds like we will be going back to Gears 3 type gameplay thankfully

I didn't feel they did. 3 maybe got close to what 1 was in terms of feel but 1 was still better overall, if you have the games now try comparing them and see how much they differ in terms of how fast each is. 2 is the slowest one in the series, followed by the third one and the first being the fastest one in terms of feel. All I felt in the later sequels is that the guns felt better/tighter and of course nicer graphics but in terms of how the feel of the gameplay is, I still found GEOW1 to be the fastest between both games including Judgement.

I remember loving Gears 1. That was when next gen arrived for me.
Hope Gears 4 can bring that feeling back.

Never really liked the series that much but you gotta respect what Gears 1 brought to the genre. It's like a new beginning for TPSs.

Played Gears 1 soon after release and loved it, felt like it was the reason for moving on to the 'new' console.
Plays Gears 2 very late on and couldn't get into it, never tried 3. But if (when) the next gears comes out I expect I will be purchasing it!

Loved every Gears game, even the one with whatshisface.
Really need a next-gen Gears. I cant imagine what they'll do.

I really miss it too, it was my favorite multiplayer last gen, well except for Judgment which was absolutely awful.
I think Gears 3 is the best looking game on the 360 and had the best multiplayer ever. What's the population count nowadays? Haven't played in over a year.
What happened to those rumors circulating a while back about some sort of "remastered" edition for One?

Do what I did: buy a PS4 and play Last of Us multi.
Seriously though, Gears was my go to multiplayer game on 360, flat out. I played 2 first, then went back and played 1, but yeah, it was the only game I consistently played the entire time I was on 360, and a remaster might be the only thing to get me to double dip on current gen consoles.
