Story:

Locust have attacked the humans on planet Sera after Emergence Day. Marcus Fenix and his companions (Delta Squad) are out to survive and help eliminate the race of the Locust. The heroes are still in jeopardy and still don't know what the Locust Queen has ahead of them.


Act I: Ashes

Fourteen years after Emergence Day, Dominic Santiago frees his best friend, Marcus Fenix, from a penitentiary. Both are soldiers of the Delta Squad and are needed for the fight against the Locust. As they escape from the penitentiary, they are attacked by several Locust. Both rush to the helicopter as a Corpser appears and destroys the prison. They meet up with other allies of the Delta squad; Private Carmine and Lieutenant Kim. They're ordered to find Alpha Squad and the Resonator. The Resonator can help them locate the underground tunnel for the Lightmass Bomb. On the way to locate Alpha Squad, Carmine is killed by a sniper and Lieutenant Kim gets killed by General RAAM. At the House of Sovereigns, Dominic and Marcus meet with two members of the Alpha Squad; Damon Baird and Augustus Cole/Cole Train. The team soon meet the Berserker and defeat it, and are informed where the Resonator is located. Marcus becomes Sergeant in place of Kim.

Act 2: Nightfall

The team agrees to listen to Dom's suggestion, to borrow a junker from a Stranded named Franklin. When they arrive, Franklin agrees to lend them the junker but in exchange to have Cole and Baird help the camp defend against the Locust. As night falls another type of creature appears known as the Kryll. Marcus and Dom are fighting off the Locust towards the way to the gas station, where the junker is at. In order to survive from the Kryll, the dual need to stay underneath any source of light. They reach the junker, which has ultraviolet light that can kill the Kryll. The two arrive at the camp and went on their way to the mining facility.

Act 3: Belly of the Beast

The squad reach the mining facility and decide to go on foot. As they fight their way towards the Locust, they soon reach a predetermined location. All during the while defending the Resonator, the team sets off the Resonator and escape to surface. Sadly, the Resonator wasn't enough to destroy the Locust tunnels. Thankfully, Baird discover another device that shows half of the locust tunnels and the location to Marcus father's home and the East Barricade Academy.

Act 4: The Long Road Home

As they ride on a helicopter on the way to the East Barricade Academy, they are attacked by Nemacyst, air spores in the sky. The helicopter was soon brought down. The team are attacked by a massive amount of numbers of Locust on the way to where Marcus's father lived. Cole and Baird discover another APC in need of repair, while Marcus and Dom discover hidden laboratory in the basement. Their robot name Jack downloads the data of the tunnel maps. As soon as Jack was done, the two rush to their repaired APC. Delta Squad soon retreats as the Brumak attacks.

Act 5: Desperation

In desperation, the team rushes towards the train which holds the Lightmass Bomb at its front. Marcus and Dom are the only only ones that made it aboard on the train, while Cole and Baird fight off Locust. As the two go off farther from the front of the train, they fight off a Berserker and other large amount of Locust. As they finally reach toward the Lightmass Bomb, they encounter General RAAM guarding it. The two defeat him and rush to the Lightmass bomb. Marcus soon activates it and jumps off the train, only surviving because of the helicopter with the help of team. The Lightmass Bomb destroys most of the tunnels that carry most of the Locust stronghold. It seemed as victory, but an unknown Locust appeared to be as the queen was shown at the very ending of the act.

quote Hyato
Note:This was from Gears of War. There may be a few changes in the controls. This will be updated when control settings are submitted.
Gameplay : Gears of War is a third-person tactical squad-based shooter.

Controller Scheme

R-Trigger = Fire weapon.(Note: when the grenade is equipped you will see an arc to get a prediction of where the grenade will land.)
R-Trigger = Pressing RT while downed allows you to raise your right hand to signal your team-mates in order for them to aid you.

L-Trigger = Aim Mode (Note: When in cover, the player must use the Left-Trigger to aim at enemies with behind cover, or he will instead use blind fire)

R-Bumper = Reload (When the player reloads, he may attempt a fast reload. A wave goes through the gun icon that will show you when to reload. Hit reload a second time at the right moment to speed up the reload and power up next clip for a few shots. Time it wrong and the gun will jam. This is an optional feature. The player has the option to reload normally.)

L-Bumper = Objectives/Squad Status (Hold this button and other commands come up. Cliffy has not made a statement on whether or not that these commands are on the face buttons or the d-pad) In the OXM june issue number 58, Cliffy B is quoted as saying that the player can "Tell your squad to cease fire, open fire on a target, move to a location, or regroup."

Y-Button = Point of Interest. The player holds this button to look at what the game wants you to see. You are prompted by an icon on screen. Example: When you are told to go through a door, hold Y and the camera will point at this door. This also works during some cinemas, where you get to choose to watch them or ignore them. When no prompt is shown, the player can press Y to look at nearest squadmate to check their status.
Y Button [Punch in a downed opponent's face when enemy is downed]

B-Button = Melee attack (Holding the button down will initiate the chainsaw.)

A-Button = All move (Hold to roadie run, tap to take cover or tap to evade when not near cover. Once in cover mode tap A to get out of cover mode. During cover press forward and A to quickly mantle over cover, side and A to swat turn to cover or if no cover is close you roll out. While Roadie running you will quickly mantle over whatever obstacles you come to.)
A Button [Use enemy as meat-shield when enemy downed]

X-Button = Use/Interact
X Button [Curb stomp when enemy is downed]

R-Click = Used to zoom in with a sniper rifle

L-Click = Nothing

D-Pad = Weapon Select: Up for grenades, Left for weapons on left shoulder, Right for weapon on Right shoulder, down for side arm.
