Have they givin up on the movie? I seached it and got redirected here.--киошledge ßяīиgs ƒæя 15:56, 5 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by KnowledgeBringsFear ( talk • contribs)
After a violent 79-year war, the humans created the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) to bring peace to the planet, using its forces, called "Gears" to maintain peace.
I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the COG was around before the Pendulum Wars, but that they were a very minor group. -- Thejadefalcon ( talk) 11:11, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Is the soundtrack complete listings with song timings really suitable to an encyclopedia entry? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.37.129.95 ( talk) 02:23, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I once heard that they planned to re-release this game with more maps or expansions of some sort, but this was supposed to happen last year some time. Was this just a rumor or did it actually get re-released? It does not seem to be mentioned in the article.-- SkiDragon ( talk) 23:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
From " Setting and characters":
A liquid called Imulsion (a radioactive material similar to radiation) becomes a highly valued power source after a scientist discovers how to use it and the economic shockwave led to several wars between nations.
Would someone explain or clarify "a radioactive material similar to radiation"? Seems like a redundant and weird construct that could be shortened to "A radioactive liquid called Imulsion becomes ...", no? -- an odd name 01:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
First paragraph ends in "It is the best game ever." This ruins the neutrality of the article. I haven't dealt with editing vandalisim, and there may be other instances in the article. If you know how to properly handle it, please fix this. - Commandur ( talk) 04:16, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
This may seem petty, but can people PLEASE stop using the word "franchise" without knowing what it means? McDonalds is a franchise. Gears of War is a game series. I know we all think "franchise" sounds cool, and we must therefore be smarter, more wonderful people for having used it, but it does NOT mean "series". There's a perfectly acceptable word for "series". Let's see if you can guess what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.169.189.36 ( talk) 06:50, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
a franchise is a type of business where the owner of the premises (e.g. the shop or restuarant) pays a company (e.g. mcdonalds) for use of the name...or there abouts....and so gears of war is not a franchise...as...wait for it...its not a business - Ste —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.154.230 ( talk) 22:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
I did some editing under the Settings and Characters to add links to the correct characters noted as "side characters". I also reworded the sentence to make it seem easier to follow and less redundant. Finally I fixed the name Hoffman being incorrectly spelled (Hofman) in a few occurances.

The article is being vandalized a lot by unregistered users using different IP addresses. Maybe it should be semi-protected until the vandal (or vandals) gets bored? U.U. ( talk) 15:29, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Under Ultimate Edition it says "Ultimate Edition will feature five unreleased chapters of the campaign of the original game", while it's true that the 360 version didn't have these chapters, the PC version did. The way it's written seems to suggest there's 5 completely new chapters for the 2015 Ultimate Edition, instead of just adding the previous PC exclusive chapters from 2007.

Hi. At 5590 (the combined text of this article (4819+771)) words, doesn't satisfy WP:SIZESPLIT, and since this the split article is simply a later edition of the same game, does not satisfy WP:CONSPLIT. Onel5969 TT me 16:49, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
