Private Ray Charles?

Never saw him in the game, and the text looked like spam so I removed it. --- Kpavery (talk | contribs) 08:06, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bare bones article

Needs updates! --Jecrell 01:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • No sense in making a whole page for characters if we're not going to put all the information on it. VideoGameGuy, 7:06PM, November 27, 2006.
    • It's not finished, all the information will be posted for each individual character and creature. There's more than enough source material to go on for this page as well. Do not be so quick to condemn it while it's a work in progress. --Jecrell 02:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Im sorry, I didn't mean for it to come out like that. -- VideoGameGuy, 8:37AM, November 27, 2006.
        • I say that this would make sense, i mean, no point in making seperate pages for characters when the pages contain very little information.-- General RAAM, 11:54AM, January 4, 2007
  • I dont get it, we made separate pages for all the members of Delta Squad, but most of the information is repeated. Are the separate pages really necessary? VideoGameGuy 05:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Locust Queen (Myrrah)

This section is mostly speculative, but apparently if you actually take the time to look at the game's ending credits you will find the character name Myrrah. People on the Epic Games forums have been calling her the Locust Queen, but no official or cit able information really exists to prove the direct connection between them --Jecrell 08:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC).[reply]


On the IMDB profile for Gears of War, the Queen and Myrrah are listed as two different characters with two different voice actors. I think that may confirm that the voice heard is the Queen, but who would Myrrah be? --70.232.141.27 04:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • IMDB is crap. -- 12.226.10.45 01:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • If that's the case, then IMDB must be rather slow. I instantly recgonised Carolyn Seymour's voice as she had voiced the character Mon Mothma from numerous Star Wars video games, and she's listed in the credits as Myrrah. There is definately a Locust Queen, as we hear the Boomers and RAAM reference her, though wether or not she is Myrrah remains to be seen. If they are seperate characters, then the Queen has never spoken at all. Ever. Just to clarify, I do think Myrrah is the Queen, incase you were thinking otherwise. It's strongly implied that she is in her dialogue. I just think it'd be best not to make any final conclusions and just speculate on the possibilities until an official source confirms otherwise.

Character portraits

I'm not sure how to fix this, but the character portraits shouldn't be staggered. It looks neater in theory, but it messes up the rest of the sections and makes it difficult to read. --Scottie theNerd 12:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That looks much better. --Scottie theNerd 04:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok just addition this is gonna be a 3 part game, so i am not sure if we are gonna fight this so called locust queen in the second one or the third, if the second its probably just gonna be a all out brawl in the 3rd so anyone with info on that contact me at gabrielson753@aim.com

Theron Guard

The Theron Guard have not been proven to be a different specie. It appears they are a subspecie of the Drone, like the Berserker (female variation) and Boomer. Just because these creatures have different voices and wear leather robes does not mean they are part of a different racial division. --Jecrell 21:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Theron Guard are also never referred to as "Torques" in-game. Thus "Torque" is a misnomer that should be replaced with Theron Guard. The entry for "Torque" even refers to them as Theron Guard. Gore Ghoul 19:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think that this claim is erroneous. For starters, at the pumping station, you can hear the Gears screaming about how the Guards are tougher and faster than Drones. Also, when choosing them as your default Locust player model for online modes, they are listed as the toughest warriors "bred" in the hive. There is more evidence to suggest they are distinct than there is to suggest they are physiologically similar, only trained better. Michael.A.Anthony 23:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

^Agreeing with above, Theron are the same species as Drones, the easiest way to compare them is like race, blacks and asians, theron and grubs.

Reminder

This is a wikipedia article, which means it is free to be edited by anyone else on this website. As long as the changes done to it aren't devastating than no one else should have to try to keep their article currently in the form they see as most desireable. If you are tired of people changing "your" article than maybe you should make your own web-page about this article and change it to anyway you see fit, and hey it would sure be a hell of alot easier to maintain to the way of your liking.

  • The article is far from perfect; it needs a lot of editing. Proper restructuring is definitely on the table. I was frustrated when I wrote on this talk page about the breaking of structure. It's a very debatable subject on how this article is put together, but there's really no discussion to be had here; It feels much like a ghost town. Also, please register an account so that you can sign your statements. I feel strange to receive hit & run criticism by an unknown entity. --Jecrell 05:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see his point. As long as it abides by the rules, it doesn't have to be changed unless it is truly shoddy and more people than you think so. Neospawn 01:49, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carmine

Does someone want to fix/redo the Carmine section? The whole thing is pretty much vandalism. Onstar102 05:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not a strategy guide...

This page should provide information about characters and enemies, and that alone. This should not provide strategies as to how to kill said enemies; remember, this isn't GameFAQs. Someone should fix this. Illcendiary 22:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WHOever said carmine was not the coolest guy in the game then he is wrong, carmine is way the coolest cuz of his sweet armor and voice

I will agree that Carmine was cool and shouldn't have died, at least not in the way he did, but what does it have to do with this discussion? Neospawn 01:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boomers

I deleted the (I think it's "Ignore wiki formatting") text effect near the Boomers so it didn't hang off the page. Thunderhorse 21:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging of Cole Train Article

This section has been cleaned by the CVU and now needs to be commented on. Cleaning Done By:Srikali Srikali 02:33, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


A whole bunch of little tidy-ups

I fix a few examples of atrocious grammar, tidied up the Col. Hoffman paragraph and the Queen paragraph, changed the Caption on the picture of the Boomer to "Boomer (right)" from "Boner(right)", and removed the Shotgun from the list of Locust weapons (since it is listed in the manual as a COG weapon).

Michael.A.Anthony 23:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went on to do some more housekeeping, including removing gems like "The Torqe [sic] Bows are also good for hitting an enemy because the weapon is made of very sharp metal which can destroy something in one blow." Sharp metal. And not the high explosive mentioned in the preceeding sentence. Indeed. Michael.A.Anthony 23:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Messed up

Ugh. Fixed some articles that had so much misinformation and opinion in them, you'd swear that they were made by some 9-year old drug addict that just got GOW for Christmas. I mean, seriously, "Boomers might even become your favorite enemy"?! "Berzerkers are also called 'Big Mamas' because they're huge and are female"?! "General RAAM is also called 'Really Angry Ass Monkey' by a designer of the game."?! Who the hell types this stuff?! I removed these and other major errors from the article. - Anonymus, February 12

Domingo

Someone decided to change Dom's name to "Domingo" a bunch of times throughout the article. I unded it, but don't do it again. - Anonymous, February 16

Other characters' demises?

Under Private Carmine's description is a list of other Gears killed over the course of the game. I personally think that Rojas should be removed from the "Other Members" list and put in the "Other Killed Characters" list. You only see his corpse briefly in the game, and he is only briefly mentioned twice.

Also, the dead Gear you see near the beginning of Act 1 should be put in the "Other Characters' Demises" list. In case you can't remember, you see him when you are crossing a bridge and entering a building, when you are prompted to press the Y button. His body is laying on the ground next to a hole. What are your thoughts on these two issues? Thieflordgamer of Xbox Live 19:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are more than a few corpses of Gears throughout the game. Some of which don't have you look on them with the Y button. Such as Act 1: Fish in a Barrel where you are attacked by Locusts from 4 Emergence Holes. There are bodies in the fountain that you take cover in. That's just naming on instance out of many. So by all means, you can start a list about dead soldiers you see throughout the game, but I think there should only be a list of corpses with Names encountered throughout the game. That doesn't include a whole lot. Carmine, Rojas, and Kim make up that list. AJFederation 09:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Colonel Hoffman

I think that Colonel Hoffman should be added to the main COG characters instead of the "Other Members". His voice is heard in every Act of the game constantly and he's the one who originally came up with the plan of the Lightmass Bomb, making him a key character in the game. Thieflordgamer of Xbox Live 19:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other Adversaries?

I think that the Kryll should be put with the main adversaries, as they are a main enemy, particularly in Act 2 and in the battle against General RAAM. Also, I think the Brumak should be put in the "Other Adversaries" as it is very minor and you don't even battle it, even though it is highlighted in Destroyed Beauty. Thieflordgamer of Xbox Live 19:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nemacyst or Reaver

Is what they call the Nemacyst in the game actually a Reaver? I know I heard the flying Locust (not the Kryll) described as Nemacyst several times, but perhaps this is just a nickname for the Reaver? Thieflordgamer of Xbox Live 19:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nemacysts are spawned from seeders. They are biological missiles. Reavers are flying creatures drones can mount on and use for aerial assaults. They are two completely different creatures. AJFederation 22:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clean-up

Doing some work on clearing out fancruft and grammer right now. I've currently run through the COG and Stranded sections, and I'll get to the Locust eventually. If no one else objects, I'll eventually merge up the four main characters' articles with this one as well. Peptuck 22:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

COG shown at end of act 3

Is it known who the cog who Raam headshot at the end of act 3 is? He looks kind of like carmine with a helmit, but he's not a main character since all of your teamates are still with you on act four and carmine's already dead. Cheesycarrion 04:26, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
