When in cooperative play, the second player takes control of Fenix's best friend and fellow soldier Dominic "Dom" Santiago. The player assumes the role of Marcus Fenix, a battle-hardened former war hero. The Locust are relentless, vicious, can pop out of the ground almost anywhere and seem to be numberless, but the COG have superior technology and the capital city of Jacinto is located on a plateau of solid granite, making it the one place the Locust can't tunnel up. The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) is fighting back with their own soldiers they call "Gears" ( hence the name).

The general story centers on the soldiers of Delta Squad as they fight to save the human inhabitants of the fictional planet Sera from a relentless subterranean enemy known as the Locust Horde. There isn't a jump button, and everything is angled towards making the combat as personal and violent as possible (the main gun used has a chainsaw built into the grip, called the chainsaw bayonet). The game uses a "stop and pop" approach that heavily emphasizes the use of cover. Gears of War is a tactical Third-Person Shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios. Needs to be turned into a Franchise page, with separate Work pages for each of the individual works. This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.


All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
