    I've said something similar in some of your other lore videos. It's great to have things presented in this way, where lore has been drip fed to us in games that are 6 years apart or in DLC and comics which not everyone has seen. This gives a flavour to political situations, military operations and important events not experienced in the games. Compact but really nice vid.

    The COG Gears sort of evolved into a militarized police force during the Locust War. Didn't the books mention that the COG Army had disbanded the old Regimental system active during the Pendulum Wars and before and replaced it with a centralized model where it was based around squads?

    It always bugged me that the few times other squads were introduced into the game they almost immediately get killed or almost wiped out by the time Delta shows (Echo Squad/s by this point are basically a death sentence.) I get Delta is supposed to be the best squad,but cmon we should be able to interact and see other squads actually being able to put up a fight and survive without help from Delta.

    It always upset me we were never part of a large scale operation with a large unit. I know technically hollow storm is a large scale operation but you don't really do anything with other squads other than protect one and leave them. I'm sure it's the games engine that is really restrictive but man just give me 20+ other cog to storm a highly fortified area

    @@BrickedUpp Right. So many times we see other squads of Gears throughout the various games, yet they are always sent out on their own to sadly their own deaths. I'm hoping with E-Day we will get to work with other squads and not once again be limited to working with 3 other people the whole game.

    Not going to lie, that opening statement about the cog having 100s or even 1000s of infantry squads made no sense considering squads are from 4 to like 10 in game so this basically meant that at their full extent of power, the Cog only had upwards to a few thousand to about a few 10s of thousands of soldiers which doesn’t make sense

    There were many nations part of the COG and the COG were at their full power in the pendulum wars and they were still strong in the early locust war era. The games are set 14 years after E day and onwards where the COG was almost a shell of what it once was. Therefore the games aren’t going to be showcasing all those squads are they. The amount of gears and squads involved in Hollow Storm shouldn’t be underestimated either.

    The Onyx guard needs better representation in the franchise just as should the Marines. The writers of the game are garbage there is too much potential in lore to keep settling for the nonsense we keep getting as gamers and fans of this franchise. Onyx should be shown as the tip of the spear of the COG especially in gear and equipment (no they don't need tanks,but lav's) they should have early iterations of powered exoskeletons , AGL's newer lancers with divers attachments and their stamina and strength would be higher as well. The Special Tactics Commandos should be treated better . The COG armed forces in game makes no type of sense there should still be armor both wheeled and tracked with heavy caliber weapons that can be used and have as support there should be an actual airforce that have playable moments (yes fighters bombers etcetera) should be multiple variations of rotor craft including tilt rotor. The COG by 4 should all be equipped with all of those Db weapons, why give the advantage to robots only when you still have an army to equip? Just saying things have to get better in the games moving forward.
