History Awesome / GearsOfWar

--> Prescott: Unity! Survival! BROTHERHOOD TO THE END!

* A big moment of awesome goes to Music/Megadeth for writing a song entitled [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D8YtqzdrSlg "Gears of War"]] simply for the release of the first game. Sadly, there were no lyrics (As Adam Fenix might say, "there simply wasn't enough time.") since the game was too close to completion for them to be put in, but how fuckin' awesome would it have been for this to be an iconic Gears theme along with Mad World?

* At the end of RAAM's Shadow, Kim goes hunting for RAAM to get revenge for [[spoiler:Valera]]. He finds him injured and prepares to kill him, but RAAM summons a ring of Kryll to protect him. Kim won't let this stop him, and he ''begins walking through the Kryll to try and reach RAAM, recieving several cuts from the man eating terrors''. He likely would have been torn apart, and was only stopped when Barrick pulled him back, but damn, that took guts to try and do.

* The whole "Delta Squad is in your house, bitch!" has to be the most awesome verbal beating ever. What he does is that he uses the Locust Queen's broadcasting to loudly shout out on how the Locust are about to be royally fucked in the ass by Delta Squad, on how they'll end up crying to their queen and how their queen is gonna end up wasted as well. His broadcasting is heard through the entire underground city of Nexus for every Locust to hear.

* When the King Raven Jace and Delta are flying in in the ''Hollow'' arc is hit by a Nemacyst and the pilot is killed, Jace takes over, having only flown once before but having never landed. To make matters worse, they are still under fire, and the landing gear is shot off. Jace spots several Drones coming out of an Emergance Hole, so he aims for it, crashing down and sliding across the Locust, killing all of them, and impressing all the experianced {{Badass}}es in the squad.

* "That's one! That's ''two''! THAT'S THREE! ''THAT'S FOUR!'' '''''[[ThisIsTVTropesBitch THAT'S FIVE, MOTHERFUCKERS!]]''''''''''"'''''

* Defeating the UIR Siege of Anvil Gate. Sure, he faked a surrender and felt terrible about it, but it was a brillent plan to turn the tide of the UIR's invasion of Kashkur.

* Inspiring the creaton of the chainsaw baynet by using a powersaw on a Locust drone.

'''Clay Carmine'''
* [[spoiler: Clayton Carmine surviving all of Gears of War 3.]] That is all.

** [[CelebrityEndorsement "'''THE COLE TRAIN, RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! WOOOOO!'''"]]

** "'''THE COLE TRAIN, RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! WOOOOO!'''"

* [[spoiler: "Feel that? That's from Dom...and everyone else you killed, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch ''you bitch.''"]]]]

* [[spoiler: "Feel that? That's from Dom...and everyone else you killed, you bitch."]]

* Chairman Prescott's [[RousingSpeech entire speech]] at the beginning of Act 1. Coupled with scenes of cheering Gears and Stranded loading up for war and some of the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome best damn music ever]], it comes out as a scene that leaves fists pumping.

'''Adam Fenix''''

* Multiple players in GearsOfWar 2 can chainsaw the same enemy at the same time, because ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill.
* When you first enter a chainsaw duel. It's only attempting to mash a button more than someone else in a couple of seconds, but it looks... YOUTUBE IT.

** "Soon we will have nothing left to defend, and that means we have only one option: ''attack.''"
* Just getting a chainsaw kill. It does not get old.
** Nor do the [[BoomHeadshot headshot]] lines. ''"Look ma, no face!"''
* "That's one! That's ''two''! THAT'S THREE! ''THAT'S FOUR!'' '''''[[ThisIsTVTropesBitch THAT'S FIVE, MOTHERFUCKERS!]]''''''''''"'''''
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WxjRozXFt8 Made even more awesome]] if every shot was a headshot and you didn't miss a single shot. (Unlike in the video)
* '''WHO WANTS TOAST!?'''
** This line returns in Gears 3. Marcus will sometimes say it while throwing an incendiary grenade.
* Though by itself the scene where [[spoiler: Dom has to euthanize Maria]] is definitively a TearJerker, the scene itself is a CMOA for Epic Games, with a combination of heart-wrenchingly well-done music, brilliant writing, and perfect acting, on top of the fact that Epic went with such a strikingly mature and straightforward approach to such a story. It was the moment that, in this troper's eyes, ''Gears 2'' went from being a really good game to being a truely ''awesome'' one.

* Cpl.Michael Barrick [[HeroicSacrifice charging]] into a few dozen Locust with some Bloodmounts backing them up, fighting (and killing) them hand to hand to allow the rest of Delta Squad to escape.

* [[spoiler: "Feel that? That's from Dom...and everyone else you killed, you bitch."]]
* [[spoiler: Dominic]]'s HeroicSacrifice is definitely a TearJerker, but it is also thoroughly awesome. Just ''watch'' the pyrotechnics!
** [[spoiler: And on top of everything, an instrumental of Gary Jules version of Mad World plays in the background, which should just be awesome to any old school Gears fan.]]
* Marcus [[spoiler:finally getting fed up with Griffin's bullshit and verbally thrashing him.]]
--> [[spoiler:I just lost my fucking [[TrueCompanions brother]], alright?! My ''BROTHER''! You, your tower, and all this fuckin Immulsion can '''GO TO HELL!!''']]

* What about [[spoiler:Adam Fenix's HeroicSacrifice, which resulted in no less than the ''extinction of the entire Locust Horde and Lambent'' and bringing peace to Sera.]]

** This deserves clarification. The first chainsaw kill is combined with a linebacker-class sack that flips the disemboweled Locust grunt clear over Cole's head. This is after Cole attaches the grenade to the back of the first grunt he gets within melee range of, and runs right by. He kills the remaining Locust by the time the grenade goes off.
