    GearsTactics mostly mostly nails its strategy debut with an accomplished, but no-frills alternative to XCOM.

    • PCGamer: 83/100

    A fantastic tactical combat system translates Gears of War into a strategy game worthy of the PC.

    Tactical, but hardly taciturn

    • CNN: Recommended
    • Financial Post: 9.0/10.0

    A serious challenger to XCOM's throne

    Tactics gets the turn-based fundamentals right, but isn't consistently fun

    As requested here is the timelapse of Raam's suit up and walking test. Whole suit is around 20lbs in gear. Its pretty easy to walk, boots are just clunky because of their size.

    Here is a size comparison so you can see just how large he is. Here is Raam next to my son and mother (2'4" and 5'9" respectively). Raam is around 8ft tall.

    I made a Carmine OC out of boredom during Lockdown. Enjoy!

    Hayden Carmine:

    Hayden is the only son of Clayton Carmine. Though not as talented in battlefields as his father, he does specialise in COG Intelligence, and was a stepping stone in the process of creating the new COG alongside Damon Baird. On the field, he uses his father's teachings and wears his family name with pride.

    Appearance:

    Hayden has his own edition of the classic Carmine helmet, though it takes clear inspiration from his deceased uncles, with larger blue eyes and a more round helmet. He doesn't wear huge amounts of armour. Like his father, his arms are free, but his chest is armoured, as well as shin pads and boots. The t-shirt he wears under his armour shoes the arms of the shirt. He is a much smaller man, (about Mac's size) and has a small COG tattooed on his hand.

    Arcade:

    Passive 1: Receive 5% Speed for every kill, up to a maximum of 45% increased speed.

    Passive 2: Increased Damage when near another Carmine.

    Starter Weapons: Lancer, Flashbang, Snub

    Upgrade Weapons: Longshot, Incendiary, Boltok

    Horde & Escape:

    Role: Engineer

    Horde Weapons: Lancer, Longshot, Flashbang, Repair Tool

    Escape Weapon: Boltok

    Ultimate: Deflecting Fire: Hayden's upgrades to weapons make him technologically more dangerous. When Hayden's ultimate is active, bullets that he will fire from an assault rifle will bounce from one enemy to another nearby enemy, causing collateral damage. As well as this, the ultimate will randomly either cause bullets to deal Bleed Damage or Flame Damage upon activation. This ultimate lasts for 15 seconds.

    Perks: (at their lowest state)

    Common:

    Score Boost - Boosts score by 5%

    Inspirational - Increases Repair Efficiency for others nearby by 15%

    The Next Generation - Increased Health Regeneration to Hayden and Lizzie

    Perfected Adjustments- 10% reduced recoil for all Assault Rifles

    Keen Eye - Kills with precision rifles grant 2% stim

    Rare:

    Extended Mag - 50% more bullets in each Snub Magazine

    Flamin' Hot - All headshots will deal Incendiary damage for 25% of damage dealt

    Tease - When headshot killing an enemy with the Longshot, all nearby enemies are taunted for 2 seconds.

    Epic:

    Epic Score Boost - Increase Score by 7%.

    Chainsaw Bayonet - Restocks all nearby turrets with ammo when chains swung an enemy.

    The Legacy Continues - When you are the last person alive, all enemies will slowly take bleed damage.

    Mini Clayton - Receive Immunity to damage for 5 seconds upon Clayton's death.

    Legendary:

    Ancestral Overwatch: During your ultimate, if you headshot kill and enemy, they will explode and cause other nearby enemies to explode, should they die from the impact of the original headshot.

    Hope you like! Please leave any feedback or your opinions, good or bad.

    Gears Tactics: Guides and features hub - PC Invasion

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 03:47 AM PDT

    Completely new to the series, just finished Act 1 of GOW1. Any recommendations?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 02:44 AM PDT

    I got my Xbox One X very recently, alongside GOW4 which came with download codes for all 4 of the 360 games. I'm COMPLETELY new here, don't know any of the lore, characters, popular opinions (I'm just assuming most people like 4 and 5 less since Epic weren't involved with those?) and so on. I'm also not really interested in multiplayer at all, I'm playing these purely for the campaigns and base gameplay mechanics.

    Right off the bat I have a few questions about GOW1. Is Casual considered too easy? I'm not a shooter efficionado, mostly a Nintendo guy, only shooters I've played before this one are Splatoon and Kid Icarus Uprising if that counts. I also noticed there are a lot of video options (Soft, Vibrant, Lucid, etc) and I can't really see a difference? Is one of them more recommended than the others?

    Would just like to hear general opinions and recommendations for a newbie ;

    This scene from "The Lion King" is so sad

    Posted: 27 Apr 2020 01:10 PM PDT

    Just realized The voice of Marcus was also the Heretic in Halo 2.

    Hoping we get classic onyx guard sometime since the helmet got remastered

    What happened between the end of Gears 2 to the start of gears 3 ?

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 05:34 AM PDT

    Can someone explain to me the events from gears of war 2 ending after flooding Jacinto to the start of gears 3 ? Why does Marcus tell Anya " you could get in a lot of trouble doing this" similar to gears 1 beginning where dom breaks Marcus out of the slab. What did he do ?

    Armor redesigns (art)

    Posted: 28 Apr 2020 04:47 AM PDT

    Hey guys. I'm an artist, who's been getting into gears 5 recently, which you'll know if you read my TOD post a few days back.

    But I'm now asking if you'd guys like to start seeing some more art on the sub, specifically sketches and models? I like to redesign stuff for fun and I've heard a few times that people particularly dont like the new onyx design, so I was thinking of starting with that.

    But if I made it a series and made a poll for people to vote for redesigns, would people be interested?
