They claim that it encourages camping, is too noob friendly, and slows the pacing of the game to a crawl. Others say it's fine as is due to its short range and long reload time.

* The Locust Queen herself is just as if not more difficult than RAAM. Her Tempest mount has a devastating flame attack with a huge AOE that will kill you in about a second of exposure, she has a ton of health and, to make things worse, constant waves of Queen's Guards act as GoddamnBats while you try to deal with her.

** Thank goodness for exploitable glitches!
** The worst thing about RAAM was the UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE! One of the worst sins of game design. You DO NOT put an unskippable cutscene right before the most frustrating fight in the game, and then load the player(s) back to right before the cutscene when they die.
*** It's skippable by pressing X. (At least, it is on the PAL Xbox 360 version.)

* DemonicSpiders: The Kantus priests definitely seem to be filling in this role in the sequel. Reviving downed Locust troops from halfway across the battlefield, summoning wretches and tickers out of nowhere, armed with a burst-fire pistol that does ludicrous amounts of damage, ink grenades, ninja-flipping away the moment you get a bead on them, and that damn sonic attack they use to knock you on your ass ''right'' when you get into range to chainsaw them....

** Queen's Guards in ''Gears 3'' are essentially Theron Guards on steroids. Digger Boomers are even worse, as their "Digger" guns bypass cover.

* CompleteMonster: The Locust. Boy are they ever. Indeed, they pretty much ''have'' to be presented this way to prevent players from RootingForTheEmpire, especially with the subtle creepy Fascist overtones given by the COG in the background during the games, and the much more explicit "Holy Crap You Guys Are Evil Assholes" stuff from the expanded universe. See BlackAndGreyMorality above and Wallbanger below.

** The new and improved Reavers tend to spring into action at very inconvenient times.
** The Theron Guards filled this role in the first game. Much more intelligent and with an explosive firing Torque Bow.
* GodDamnedBats: Wretches in many encounters. The lambent (exploding) ones will likely cause huge amounts of frustration.
** Kryll from ''Gears 1'' are GoddamnedBats with four wings.
*** Tickers from ''Gears 2'' are GoddamnedBats that try to BLOW YOU UP.



* {{HSQ}} (Much of the game is built on this reaction.)
** Anya's reactions to Marcus's hijacking of various locust beasts definitely qualifies.
-->'''Marcus:''' We're riding a Brumak, Control!
-->'''Anya:''' ...Um... okay then!
* ItIsTheSameNowItSucks (Gears 2 had some complainers because much of the preview footage was showcasing the enhanced graphics, with most everything else having the same weapon selection. It wasn't until they started showcasing the new features that quite a few people quieted down, particularly a demonstration of the new weapons, chainsaw duels and using ''{{Meat Shield}}s''.)
* MemeticBadass (It's ''[[http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Carmine Carmine]]!'')
** There are four HorsemenOfTheApocalypse and four Carmine brothers. Not a coincidence.
** WHERE'S MY WIIIIIIIIFE?!
** "It's a ''[[SandWorm giant worm]]''! '''[[LargeHam THEY'RE SINKING CITIES WITH A]] ''[[ChewingTheScenery GIANT WORM]]''!!!'''



* MostWonderfulSound: ''* click* bip bip...beep!'' '''[[KillSat THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM]]'''
** Starting up the chainsaw. You can press the right-trigger to listen to another rev-up sound from it. Well, unless your enemies are using it.



* OlderThanTheyThink: the Chainsaw Bayonet debuted in the MutantChronicles [[RolePlayingGame RPG]].
** And the blind-fire cover-based shooter game was pioneered by the mostly-overlooked ''Killswitch'' game, though ''Gears of War'' is the one that made it famous.
*** Older then that. Try ''Winback'' all the way back on the N64.
* PlayerPunch ([[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZBdTwr3kU&NR=1 Dom finding Maria]].]] This troper came out of that scene wanting to kill ''every last one'' of those Locust sons-of-bitches.)
** That was yours? Mine was [[spoiler: when you find Tai.]] I immediately walked out of there, turned on the first poor Locust son of a bitch I found, and made the next five minutes for him a LIVING HELL. Strange what people'll do when you do that to fan favorites.
*** If it helps soften the blow, at least [[spoiler:he killed himself with the "[[StopHavingFunGuys correct]]" [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome weapon]].]]
** For many players, this was Benjamin Carmine's death in ''Gears of War 2'', even with the knowledge he would die from the start.
* ReverseFunnyAneurysm ("Makes RAAM look like a god-damn pushover" seems likely from the fact Skorge cuts through a tank, but it quickly becomes apparent Skorge is nowhere near the level of RAAM's ability to induce frustration.)



* StopHavingFunGuys and [[{{Scrub}} Scrubs]]: Pretty much every match in the first game was fought with nothing but shotguns. Everything else was considered cheap. Especially the chainsaw. When ''Gears 2'' came along with its shotgun nerfing and even-easier chainsawing (not that it was exceptionally easy in the first game) cries of TheyChangedItNowItSucks were rampant, as nobody wants to learn how to use any other weapons.



* TheWoobie: Dom. Everyone had their faces designed so they don't have to express much to show their personality. Dom constantly looks sad.

!!The Books provide examples of:
* CompleteMonster: Jonn Massy
* MoralEventHorizon: Many of the Stranded consider anyone associated with the COG to have crossed it with the Hammer of Dawn counterattack, but considering how badly the COG was losing the war and the fact that many Stranded gleefully cross the Horizon themselves to survive or for fun, the accusation rings a little hollow.

** ([[spoiler: "It's a ''giant worm!''"]]
** "Look at ALL, THAT, JUUUUICE!"
** Dom's goofy short-length scream from being burnt by the Scorcher.
** This troper is probably a heartless bastard, but seeing Maria's beautiful face and feminine voice in the flashback segue into Marcus's soul patch and gruff voice made me laugh explosively.
** [[spoiler: Marcus' "AH FUCK!" when being forcefully taken to fight the Locust by his [[strike:beach-head boat]] drop pod instead of helping Tai fight TheDragon]] about a third into the game. [[spoiler:It turns what would was an expected dramatic exposure of Marcus' character into something that has the potential to make you howl with laughter.]]
** Early in the first game [[spoiler: when Lt. Kim, a guy who's spent the entire of the game to that point being a {{Jerkass}} to you, gets a slow motion death scene where he stands in the open shooting in the air and shouting useless commands like "Take cover!" and "Fall back!" while the {{Dragon}} "sneaks up on" (walks up to) him.]]
