Look how beautiful this game is man. The darkness and gritty nature of the setting, the way you can out play someone, the way you can punish a poorly time wall bounce instead of people on single stick bouncing off a million walls like a dumbass, strafing > wall bouncing, there’s literally a clutch factor. This is the best gears hands down.

Ong the graphics had a dark, gloomy, doomed feeling to it that immersed you in the gameplay a made u feel like u were right there with the characters. The story mode felt like a horror film or a nightmare. The new gears look cartoonish with bright vivid colors, and a light-hearted storymode makes me feel like im watching an Avengers movie.

@@ibrahimconteh7843 bro facts! The dark gritty nature of it is what sucked me in (pause). The horror side of it was the best bit. The kryll levels were unreal. Baird was funny enough, he had witty humour, we don’t need every character having that’s shit. Gears 2 was similar and the brothers to the end DLC was incredible. The new gears online and story really are nowhere near what gears of war is imo.

Incredibly refreshing playing this game again because the movement is capped in a very big way compared to all the other gears.

Glad to see people playing it more now, I played it earlier this year and the servers were down but I joined off recent players. Glad they fixed it

It’s funny seeing your social handles and cash app and thinking “wait did we have those when gears 1 was out?” Looked it up and twitter came out the same year as Gears 1. Just crazy how time flies and feel the same about what you said that even though it’s not the same it’s better than not having gears at all ❤️

I was playing this last night and was astonished on how good the gnasher was and managed to get into a snipe lobby to my own surprise I still got it

I used to play with Kraz back on Gow2 , dudes a beast.

bro that headshot on mansion his body was still standing and his blood was squirting i dont remember this game being that gorey as a kid omfg lmaoooo

You can hold the Y button to direct the camera to your nearest teammate. Good if there's only 2 of you left. They don't need to be downed.

I remember it was a HUGE advantage back in the day on who was host. Whoever was host would always be absolutely savage with the least amount of delay

my fav gears

Your commentary is very funny lol host is general raam from the campaign on drugs😂I grew up watching my brother play this game and I never really got a chance to play it when it was so popular but im happy it's had a resurgence lately

I remember my Gears 1 buddies and I would try to win lobbies with no active reloads and how much shit we'd talk when we did haha

Love this videos ❤

Hell ya I can tell ur a gears OG 😎 good shit

Amazing game. The OG. Yes to Mansion too!!!

I'm about to get a 360 just for this game. This was my favorite game for such a long time an all the sequels were worse than the first. I think it's bc you could wall bounce but it slows u down after the 2nd bounce so you had to play slower an shoot more accurately

Everything about this game is difficult. You know someone's awful at gears 1 pretty much instantly, aiming is hard, moving is hard. But it's still a blast, the game is so gritty yet so lightweight compared to these bloated games we have nowadays that spam all sorts of information at you with medals and radio chatter. Gears 1 doesn't even show you the score on the HUD, just your ammo and that's it. Loved this game. Tho i do think the one shot longshot downs were excessive..

Blind fires are dead center of screen... No matter if you're on cover or standing. My favorite part of this game versus all others

Keep playing and keep doing gears 1 videos. I'll be joing soon. Question, are you using an Xbox 360 or did you download this game on the Xbox 1?

Pure nostalgia, you playing this on the Series X? Also how would I go about finding people to play, just posting online or are there actually still live matches in the server search?

Random shotgun spread. Good or bad? Also, 5 second DBNO is a counter to active snipe downs.

How can you still play this? Grew up on this 2006 in high school.. been thinking about this game lately. I have a ps5 now but curious as to how you’d play it on current Xbox?

i would like to see your walkthought of all the gow games still but thats just me

It’s the best Gears. Lived on it. Warzone was my game type, and Raven Down all day baby

This game is where the legends were born. This no doubt the best gears game

Are ranked lobbies filling up? I would love to just play canals, grid, and war machine all night lol.

I have no idea how to use the sniper in this game btw, there's too much 'magic' involved with how the actual hitboxes are and where the actual players are. I originally thought it was lag but it turns out it seems to be more rooted in the actual game itself.

It’s crazy to hear how y’all talk, makes me feel old (30) gears 1 had a charm and a skill level like no other game, played 2, and 3 heard others after sucked, I was a sniper back then, blinds fires across the map, 1v1 snipe fights to win the round, most of the time I’d dominate a normal player, but I wasn’t no like butter or ice man, probably don’t know what I’m talking about, any way would pick up the snipe every round and do work, long time ago… the way the sniper worked essentially was one you had to account for “lag” shot registration as you said built into the game, and 2 you had to put their head in the middle of the screen you do both, 8 times out of 10 the shot will go where you want to go, whether you hard aim, quick aim (pop shot) quick scope (zoomer) or whatever, you’ll hear that oh so satisfying sound.

@@EA_SP0RTCENTERits “flaws” was its charm, sure getting stuck on walls, and super jumping to get out of maps using the hammer and stuff was buggy, host was annoying, but the only thing that felt off a lot of times was the shotgun, everything else felt great, if you studied and had skill you would dominate.

That dude in Mansion - he is good but also clearly on a lower ping.

the shots are from the hip with shotgun, in ue it was the center of the screen, but ya i just loved the maps characters and how to play the scenarios etc. I been playing it and have loads of fun even when I lose its still fun. the connection is normally not the greatest in rank but its whatever. I like that the game skill based. pretty sure strive was host that 2nd game as well as you said you found the game quick and i think he was playin with vape and liquid. idk how that zeta guy is i saw someone else named zeta who was streaming 1 but idk if thats the same person

oh man this game!! i was so close to top 100

Zeta or Lui Lurkin and some from that camp are def some of the best claw players and rodie runners in Gow 1 they been for the past few years. I know every good player that ever played gow 1 and the best people till this day, Zeta always eats even in UE lol

Ngl y'all should come back to gow1 and 2 for matches bro. This type of videos are a whole mood

Gow1 has the best sniping by far what a game 😢

2:10 he tries sliding to non-cover ☠️ in ultimate edition he would have gotten the slide though

Yeah you were fighting against Zeta. He’s a top player and also has a very good connection.

I never stop playing Gow 1 all this time greater Hero and Zeta i been playing for months there good players, before the servers were back up the only way you can find a match. You would have to go to your recent players list, and if anybody was on you would join session in progress.

After watching the last video I had the desire to try go old school and downloaded GoW2 and get on mp. Not only could I not find a match, but I could not get used to the clunkiness of the controls. So I deleted it and downloaded GoW3. Even though I didn’t do as well as others I had a blast. The most fun I had playing a gears game in a long time. But how the hell do you wallbounce in that game because I see some doing it so fast. Also the backA is slow as hell.

Ah yes nothing like og gow, will always be my favorite, love the simplicity.. not to many crazy ass guns it's all about skill and strategy

Man the best days of gaming for me. I even dotted my tv, and I remember 1v1ing an old player named milkbone if you remember him, and I fucking lost to him by 1 round. Fuck I miss it. Also what sets this game apart, aside from the grittiness of it is the fucking rag dolls! You could curb stomp someone and kick them across the map if you moved during it right 😂

"Everything about this game is much more difficult than other gears of war titles." :)
