"It's a blast from the past for me watching the Gears of War tournament here at Major League Gaming, a parent company of GotFrag.com. Having seen the monster PC Gaming title, Counter-Strike, grow competitively before my eyes, I could instantly see the comparison to Gears of War.
From the Boomslang to AWP, to the respawn of players every round; Gears was, to a certain extent, Counter-Strike on the Xbox 360 competitively.
That's not all positive news though.
Just like CS, Gears of War has competitive growing pains to go through. A big one that both MLG and the makers of the game should have seen coming is ghosting."
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.

All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?
It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.
Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!
I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.
Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times
The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.
Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.
Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."
^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series
I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.
1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.
I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.
When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.
Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!
Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.
Agreed. The old games are there anyway.
I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.
Well..duh. 99% of these "Clans" use ghosting. I'd actually love to see a competitive match where teams didn't glitch, ghost or use host to their advantage. However, in this day and age, that's not likely to happen. Hopefully, bringing this to Epic's attention may do some good in the long run. We can only hope.
that's why I stopped playing gears, fugly frame jumps in heated combat and the stuff this article talks about was enough to make it a NOT enjoyable experience.
on the other hand I have tonssss of fun playing warhawk right now, and the graphics it boasts makes me laugh at xbots who keep talking about Gears like it's the end all be all of gaming.
it's not.
Yeah Gears's multiplayer used to be a bunch of fun but I can't play it anymore without going into a fit of rage because of those no good glitchers. My clan left MLG and stopped playing in the NXGamers league for GoW because of all the cheating and glitching going on.
In the last patch, the major glitches were all fixed: weapon sliding, chainsaw glitch, glitch movement. I haven't played much lately but last I saw it was a HUGE improvement. I don't think ghosting is that big of an issue either in the games I've been in, but I am not a clan player. But I think in ranked matches the camera views are disabled and all you can do is follow a teammate. That's fine; I mean, you can't see anything more than they can see. And it would suck to stare at nothing but blackness while you're dead. So I don't see anything wrong with Gears. It is a very hard game to get good at in multiplayer, but not impossible. I find it a lot more fun than other shooters because of its intense strategy elements, but I don't like playing it every single day.
@ azcoyote, they fixed the weapon sliding glitch, but another one was found with the left bumper =P But yea, there are a few cheating moves that really bum me out. Luckily I play with only my friends now so it doesn't bother me that much =P Hopefully Epic will fix it in another patch and avoid another glitch to be found.
