Never played it before. I got Gears of War 4 for Christmas, and it came with all the previous GOW titles. Naturally I thought I’d start with the first one and make my way to the 4th. I kept dying during the tutorial.
I’m not new to shooters, I’ve played Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield. GOW seems too slow and clunky to me. Veteran GOW players: got any advice?

SPOILER ALERT: There’s plenty of war, but no gears. ‘Gears of War’ is a CVT franchise.

What about “of?” I at least want some “of.”

The thing people don’t realize about the gear wars is that they were never really about the gears at all.

Think of the most impossible horde battles with the Flood in Halo.
Now multiply how hard it was to win by 12. Cut your ammo by 2/3. Now light yourself on fire. And go.
I fucking hate GoW.

GoW is basically this.
With some cover based shooting to help set the mood

I actually really enjoyed GOW. You can’t treat it like other shooter’s, though. Just take what you know and throw it out the window.
Cover is your friend. You live and die by it for the most part.

This is pretty accurate.

If the light is green the trap is clean.
And don’t cross the streams.

Think of it more like a tank battle simulator

If your ass isn’t pressed up against a chest high wall, you aren’t playing it right.
Watch some multiplayer gameplay and play it just like that.

It’s basically all about cover. Once you get that you should never under any circumstance face the enemy without cover, you should be fine. Take your time, don’t charge.

Take cover. Shoot. Repeat until you have shot everything in the room. Then go to the next room, the only place you can go.
Repeat until end of game.

You don’t have to stay behind cover all the time. By that I mean, unlike other shooters you can flank enemies and you can cut them off so that you can move freely for better shots. Now of course you also can’t stay in cover forever because Locusts also have Grenadier MF’ers & Ticker MF’ers that will force you from cover.
Also Gears of War has better team AI. Meaning Cole & Baird & Dom will actually kill enemies without your help (unlike Halo where the Marines die to GRUNTS)
