Gears of War is a third person shooter game developed by Epic Games for the console Xbox 360. The game uses the technology of the Unreal Engine 3.0 and was published by Microsoft Game Studios and is one of the games that support DirectX 10. In the USA it was released on November 7, 2006 in select stores, while it went on sale in major American retailers on November 12 2006 . It was also published a Collector's Limited Edition, which includes a disc with bonus features and an art book titled Beauty destroyed that explains in detail much of the background to the story of the game.
Gears of War focuses on the soldiers of Delta Squad fighting to save the humans who live on the fictional planet Sera from a relentless subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde . The player assumes the role of Marcus Fenix , a former prisoner and a soldier addicted to war. In cooperative mode, the second player plays the role of the friend of Fenix, also a soldier, Dominic Santiago (Dom). The two soldiers join the Delta Squad and fight against the Locust Horde Of through the course of a campaign game based on ' action .
The game has gained success immediately after its release. On 7 November 2006 Gears of War has become the most popular game on the service Xbox Live, bypassing Halo 2, which had remained unchallenged since its launch in November 2004. The soundtrack (Mad World) who feels advertising is played by Gary Jules and is a cover of the song with the same title, the Tears for Fears. The same cover was also part of the soundtrack of the movie Donnie Darko. The second episode, Gears of War 2, was released in November 2008.
Unlike previous work of Epic Games, which were first person shooters , Gears of War is a third person shooter with a view over the shoulder. This focus is reflected in the gameplay as Gears of War it focuses mainly on tactics based on the coverage and controls data from / to teammates with limited weapons rather than brute force.
Epic Games has given great importance to the coverage and level of difficulty higher, when being exposed to enemy fire, even for a few seconds, almost always leads to death. When you are behind cover, players can decide to aim carefully with their weapons or shoot blindly without exposing themselves to avoid damage that would showing their head out of the shelter. Players have at their disposal a wide range of maneuvers and rolling coverage, operated with the touch of a single button.
The ability to perform certain maneuvers is indicated by the context-sensitive icons that appear at the bottom of the screen. The game also includes commands for the sprint, also known as roadie run, for rolling, and the ability to jump over small walls. The roadie run is a run of squatting, which can help to quickly cross a battleground not repaired and that makes the characters more difficult to target. During a roadie run, the chamber is lowered to the ground and sways greatly, as if it was hand held by another person running behind the player.
Gears of War has a few types of weapons, which are modeled on the set of the other shooter weapons: assault rifles , shotguns , pistols and sniper rifles . One of the weapons of note is the firearm designed for this game, the Lancer (an assault rifle with a chainsaw as bayonet). This weapon gives the player the ability to cut enemies in half, killing them in one shot. More powerful weapons in the game are: the arch Torque (a bow elastic mechanical high technology that launches explosive arrows), the launcher, sniper rifle and the Hammer of Dawn, a device for detecting a powerful cannon orbit to particles which can only be used outdoors.
All weapons can be used to hit a hard opponent in melee range (except the Lancer, which uses the aforementioned bayonet-chainsaw). They are also available to the player and grenades fragmentation is smoke grenade (only in multiplayer mode) that can be launched, but it can also be attacked on an opponent by hand provided at close range. In single-player missions usually weapons are the same that you have chosen to take with the previous missions, while in multiplayer matches the initial equipment consists of smoke grenades, assault rifle Lancer, Snub pistol, and shotgun Gnasher with other more powerful weapons that are scattered in strategic places on the map (the host can decide whether to "randomize" these places).
Weapons and ammunition thrown or left on the ground can be collected by the player, but this can lead at any time with him only one type of grenade, a type of secondary weapon and two types of classes remaining weapons.
A component of the gameplay that exists only in Gears of War , the Active Reload , involves pushing a button on the controller to begin charging the weapon and press it again at the right time to reload the weapon quickly. There are three possibilities as a result of the second tap on the button Charge: perfect, good and wrong. If calculated perfectly, the refill will last less than a second and all the bullets reloaded will cause damage slightly greater. If calculated well, charging will last just less time. If miscalculated, the weapon will jam for a time and the charging process will last longer than if he had not proven the Reload Enable.
Instead of a health bar that is found in many first person shooters, Gears of War uses the Crimson Omen (crimson omen), an icon with the symbol of the COG (shaped like a gear ) that fills with blood to represent the damage . If there is a slight appearance on the screen, this means that the player suffered minor injuries. When the Omen becomes more defined, this indicates that the player has been seriously damaged.
When you see a skull inside the symbol, the character is rendered unable to do anything: the single-player mode, this represents the death for the player and the end of the game, while in multiplayer (in either co-op in that competitive) another member of the team may try to revive the player. A downed player in some competition modes (eg: Execution) can also try to re-establish themselves quickly inability pressing the button (A) for a few seconds, but during this time the enemy can put an end to the brutal life of player using a chainsaw bayonet, hitting the player's head with the butt of a weapon, performing the technique of curb stomp, or even with a headshot (accurate shot to the head). If the player has been damaged but it was not incapacitated, the damage can be healed standing outside the line of fire for a short time, doing so slowly disappear the Omen.
Gears of War is primarily focused on the characters of the Delta Squad and their clashes with the Locust Horde. The members of Delta Squad change throughout the first act, and consist first of Min Young Kim, Anthony Carmine, Marcus Fenix and his best friend Dominic Santiago (Dom), but during the last four acts of the play, the Delta Squad was formed former inmate Marcus, Dominic (or even Sun), and the dynamic duo of Augustus "Cole Train" Cole and Damon Baird . Players take control of Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago just freed from (controlled by a second player in co-op) from Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary. In multiplayer mode from the COG you can choose between all the characters of Team Delta, and in addition also Victor Hoffman.
In the American version of the game some characters were dubbed by the icons of popular culture. Marcus Fenix is voiced by John DiMaggio , best known for the voice of Bender in Futurama , and Augustus "Cole Train" Cole is voiced by Lester "The Mighty Rasta" Speight , who plays the "Terrible" Terry Tate , the "Pain Train "Office Linebacker made in advertisements for Reebok . Cole's character is clearly based on the characteristics and slogan of the character of Tate.
The game begins 14 years after E-Day (Emergence Day, translated in Italian as a day of emergence), Marcus Fenix is locked up in the prison of Jacinto and realize that there is an invasion of locusts, noting the abject over his cell. But he is released from his best friend, Dominic Dom Santiago, who tells him that all the prisoners were pardoned by Colonel Victor Hoffman and now had to flee. After getting rid of some locusts that were put in the way, Dom and Marcus Raven reach the helicopter that would take them away, escaping to a Corpser moving beneath them.
Helicopter, Marcus knows that Lieutenant Kim tells him where they are headed, and the soldier Carmine, who believes Marcus a hero because he fought to Asphyo Fields. Hoffman just see Marcus attacking him verbally, considering it unworthy to wear the uniform for his betrayal. He also knows Anya, control and information support plane. Hoffman explains that they found a way to end the war by destroying the Locust, using a solar bomb, by detonating them in the galleries, but to give the necessary information to the weapon, serves the resonator that is in the hands of the Alpha Team, which is date dispersed in the area.
The team, which will be called Delta, will incamminerà towards the final points of Radio Transmission with Alpha, losing Carmine during the journey because of a sniper who shoots him in the head, because he had exposed himself by pointing out that his Lancer faltered every time. The path will save one of Alpha, Augustus Cole, who alone was fighting so dismissive the Locust. He will explain that the Seeders (locusts giant insectoid) with their Nemacyst (flying locusts coming out of the mouth of Seeders) hinder communications.
Once you eliminated three Seeders Hammer dawn (satellite weapon, only usable outdoors, with clear sky and satellite position) an Alpha named Baird, informs them that are holed up in the grave and are blocked by the locusts. The Alpha Delta free, but when a helicopter has to take them away, it is shot down by a Nemacyst and start arriving waves of Locust. In these waves, the general Locust Raam kills Kim piercing him with his dagger. The Delta and Alpha is barricaded in his grave after losing the two soldiers in the company of Cole and Baird, but a Berserker prevents teams out of the back garden, so with various strategies, Marcus uses the hammer of dawn on Berserker killing him. He became sergeant and took over the operation and join the Alpha Delta.
Sun suggests that the fastest way to reach the mine would borrow an APC by a stranded named Franklin, who has a favor Dom business past. After reaching the camp, Franklin reluctantly agrees to give them his "Junker" provided that Cole and Baird remain in the field of stranded to help them defend themselves against the Locust but to do so they must reach a stopping point. Marcus and Dom head up to the ruined city as soon as night falls, dumping out the carnivorous creatures (known as Kryll) similar to bats that attack anything this darkness that alive the stranded the stopping point.
The two are fighting against the forces of the Locust to get to the gas station where the Junker, and once there they take going back to the field, defending himself from Kryll with a light ultraviolet fitted on Junker that can kill Kryll. The pair return just in time to field the Stranded to help defend it against a great onslaught of Locust. When the situation has been restored, the team goes to the extraction plant with the Junker.
Gears of War supports both split-screen that the normal multiplayer on Xbox Live that the link between the two consoles. There are two multiplayer modes in Gears of War , the Cooperative and Versus. The multiplayer adds a status of "downed", which is similar to the companions were wounded on the ground that the player has to help in the single-player missions. When a player has been too damaged by the enemy, the character becomes unable to move or shoot instead of dying instantly.
The player remains in this state until it bleeds and dies, is killed by the enemy or is called into life by another player. However in cases where the damage is serious because it causes mutilation or disintegration of the body (for example attacks with a chainsaw, shoot with the shotgun at close range, explosive rounds, headshot with the sniper rifle or explosions from grenades), the player dies immediately.
The co-op mode in the multiplayer of Gears of War allows two players to play the game from start to finish. The game offers the possibility of inviting players on the user's friends list and insert them instantly (game mode is called "Drop in, drop out") in the game the player to help him. Gears of War chooses the character of each player according to certain fattori.Il first player or host multiplayer game plays Marcus Fenix (the main character), while the second player becomes Dominic Santiago, the best friend of Marcus.
The co-op is different from the single-player game for some features. On the sections of levels of play that provide multiple paths, the first player chooses his path and actually sends the other player in the other. Both players are separated and each faces separate parts of the level. If one player is shot down while on one of these paths divided, both characters rincominceranno the previous checkpoint, while outside of these paths players can revive one another and use flanking maneuvers only impossible to perform with the IA.
Here the multiplayer is based on the team, supporting up to eight players (four vs. four COG Locust) who take part in battles on Xbox Live or through the connection of two consoles (system link). In versus mode, the meetings consist of several rounds. Each player begins each round with the same standard set of weapons, but objects to the most powerful war are scattered in every map and you have to compete with the other teams for them. The team that won the most rounds wins at the end of the meeting. There are two types of meetings in versus mode, player matches and ranked matches.
The Custom Games have no effect on the positions of the charts and allow users to invite friends or using the split-screen mode. The games classified keep track of player statistics, give players a 'position' in the ranking of Gears of War , prohibit invitations and can not be played in split-screen mode. Were developed three types of versus modes: Warzone, Assassination, Execution, but with the new update is also the Annex mode.
War Zone mainly follows the archetype of the standard Deathmatch team , with each team trying to eliminate the other. When players are on the ground may return alive only when an ally revives them. The time of bleed out can be set from 5 to 60 seconds. This is the time frame in which the person will survive after being demolished before he died of blood loss. Dead players return to play after the end of the round.
Running is very similar to The War Zone, except that when an opponent is on the ground, the other team has to finish it using certain fatality violent. If the opposing team fails to destroy the player to the ground during the allotted time, the player will revive and will return to still be a threat. The bleeding time is here applied to the contrary, that is indicative of the time the player takes to get up on the ground with no one to help him or kill him first. Dead players return to play after the end of the round.
Murder requires that teams are centered on the designated leader of the other team while protecting their own. The leader is the only player who can collect weapons during the game at the beginning. However, if the leader picks up a gun and throws it, the rest of his team can pick it up. If a player who is not the leader's character kills leader of the other team, that player becomes the new leader of his team to the next round.
Annex the goal of this mode is to capture and defend areas to accumulate enough points in order for a team to win the round. Every second that you are in the area indicated it earns a point to his team. Every map has two to five objectives available, these key points should be monitored for at least 60 seconds (not necessarily consecutive) thus giving potential 60 points to the team that keeps the area, after an area has consumed his 60 points it is activated a 'other at random. If you die you reborn after 15 seconds in their base. When you end up on the ground, the rules of the War Zone.
King of the hill is based on team play for the control of a single area used to accumulate the essential points to win the round. Similarly to Annex, the team must maintain control and the location of the area in a circular shape to make points. The enemies that are on the ground can be eliminated by following the rules of the Run mode, using a "fatality". The major difference with the Annex mode then is the presence of a single key area across the map. (This mode is available only on the PC game, not the game for Xbox 360).
Hammerburst: is the standard weapon for the Locust. Shoots very precise bursts of 6 shots and is much more powerful (and as damage as rapidity of fire) of the COG Lancer. The charger is from 90 shots and the number of clips is transportable 8. It is the first weapon with which in the game, in fact, is that Sun Marcus the shouldered during the first level.
Gun Boltok: much like a large revolver, this weapon can damage a lot of the opponent hit, unfortunately is very slow, both in the rate of fire that the speed of the bullets. He has a charger of 6 shots and you can only carry two chargers. Because of its low rate of fire, the blows to the head are very rare, and even in the games online are done very rarely.
Rifle Gnasher: short-range weapon like a Shotgun very effective in close quarters. It is very powerful, in fact aiming at the head of an opponent will have a good chance to shoot it down with a shot. The Gnasher has a charger of 7 shots.
Boomshot: this weapon is substantially a powerful grenade launcher. Shoot of heavy projectiles exploding impacting against an opponent or an obstacle. Being very heavy projectiles, the Boomshot not shoot straight, his shots tend to describe an arc, so if you want to hit distant enemies have to raise a lot of shooting. The Boomshot is a single shot weapon, and the player can carry up to 12 colpi.Di locusts in the countryside only Boomer can carry a boomshot.
Torque Bow is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, it is a powerful hybrid between a bow and a crossbow that launches explosive bolts. To ensure that the arc is very efficient it is necessary that the rope is pulled out fully, otherwise the power of the arrow will not be enough to penetrate the armor of the enemy. If a Locust or another player is hit by one of the darts, this in a matter of a few seconds they will be automatically killed. If the dart explode near the enemy will result in him only a little stunning and a slight damage.
One of the negative points of this weapon is the slow speed with which you tend the rope and the time limit within which you're forced to shoot the arrow. For if you remain too long with the tightrope, the arrow will start automatically, causing, if struck near the player's death. This weapon is among all those present in the game, the slowest in charge, but it is also the one with which it is easier to make refills active. If the player misses the charge undergoes a major penalty on the charging time. The Torque Bow is a single shot weapon and you can bring up to 12 explosive bolts.
