I just realized why I think the Locust looked cooler in Gears of War 1 and 2. They didn't have any red glowing lights on their armor back then! In Gears of War 3 they started adding lights on the Locust armor, probably to make them stand out more but I think it makes them look less gritty and cool. Especially the Theron Sentinel/Guard looked better without lights.
Takes balls to play as a Theron on OG Gears of War lol, their kilt made them walking hit markers and very easy to kill, love to see Gears 1 making a small comeback.
Gears 1 will always be played. People like me who know it’s the best of the series will keep coming back because we know this gears has what we want in a gears game. They really should come back to it and make more DLC. They would easily make money in it because I’d buy it and it would also make a lot of People come back to the game
