Gears of War Ultimate Edition

This page sucks. If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome. Specifically: Very poor article all-around.

Gears of War Ultimate Edition is the first game to be made by The Coalition, the new developer of the Gears of War series. A remaster of Gears of War 1 featuring new stuff such as better graphics, three added Gears of War 2 DLC multiplayer maps, levels from the Games for Windows Live version of Gears 1, and much more. Unfortunately, multiplayer suffers from lag and the gnasher has broken hit detection.

Unused Weapon Skin#

The Microsoft Studios weapon skin set goes unused in this game but looks no different than how it appeared in Gears of War 4.

Unused Legacy Pawns#

Several legacy "pawns" from the original Gears 1 are leftover in this remaster: Marcus, Dom, Cole, Mihn Young Kim, Locust Drone, Locust Grenadier, Locust Theron Guard, Locust Theron Elite, and Locust General Raam.

Oddities#

Locust Sniper MP Internal Name#

In some text strings the Locust Sniper in multiplayer is referred to as "Locust Troika Gunner", presumably a leftover from an early build of Gears 1.

Ring-Based Modes on BOXES#

The map BOXES is selectable in private matches, however if played in a ring-based game type, no rings will spawn, making it impossible to complete the match.

Dark and Crimson Omen skins#

Before 2020, completing all three Gears campaigns on Xbox 360 would grant you these two skins, however after 2020 this stopped happening presumably due to issues with the servers reading profile data.

Xbox Series X graphical bug#

When playing on Xbox Series X with FPS boost enabled, the dynamic resolution will repeatedly increase and decrease at different points of the game at 5-10 second intervals. Watch on YouTube
