In my opinion, Gears 5 has the best campaign in the series since Gears of War 2 (still the best). The story has some real meat to it, the open world sections and side missions aren't that deep but fun enough to not feel tacked on. They clearly tried new things here, and it works for the most part. The game is absolutely beautiful and feels buttery smooth. It's definitely worth a try, especially since you only need to pay $2 to play it with the game pass. $2!!!!!!!!! This is not a sponsored freaking vid, it's just that good of a deal. I can't get over that. As always we have included important gampeplay, relevant dialogue and all cutscenes to stitch together a fluid cinematic experience. We hope you enjoy!
My favorite gears of war is gears 3, and by the way if you do a 4K video could you choose JD to save like when you switched characters when you made the wolfenstein Youngblood video. Please 🙏🙏. Again this game looks amazing can’t wait to play it
I love how they show human civilization. You actually see a city alive where humans are in relative safety. Gears 2 was my favorite before because it felt like you were actually part of something, there were thousands of other gears fighting in operation hollow storm. Gears 1 it was just delta and alpha squad and it felt empty, granted it was a special opps mission. Gears 3 gave you the feeling there was no safe haven because the COG fragmented and everyone went their own way.
gears 3 would've worked being the first game of the franchise if the other 2 didn't exist or were just prequels because they lost everything in gears 3 and now they spend their daily lives on a ship or at anvil gate
Seriously if you don't help JD you are just trying to destroy Markus's mental state. And how dare they use Cole like that damn near gave me a heart attack.
i mean if its from gears 5 its not the best anything in the series lol. Gears 5 is the biggest dogshit story ever. They switched from JD to cait out of no where and even give you the option to kkill JD lol?? what kind of shit story woke writing is this. Cait story was so boring and this didn't feel likke gears at all,,,witth alll the hate they got, theres a reason they are going back to emergence day with the new gears. They knew they fucked up and only ED would save the series,,,no one wants to see anymore boring writing with Cait
I respect you for the not putting as many ads as MKIceAndFire. Also your transitions are very smooth, I tried watching his version but quit after 15 min, too many abrupt cuts
@@brickvsbrick no he didn't. His full "movie" kills del. And tbh, I tried watching mk's video 1st bc of its seemingly greater length and hence prolly more important details (which in the past I remember happened once or twice) but then noticed it was just that the editing there sucked. this time, as usual, glp had the best piece to show.
one might argue that marcus is already a tragic character, regardless. and del actually came accross as an objectively better character, IMO. agree with choice. would save again.
Is Marcus sterile or something? Maybe i didnt understand very well what Jinn told to Marcus in that cutscene. You cant kill his only son. I think the game just gave you the option to save Del because he supported Kait from the very beginning. And saving JD just make it really tough for us. But the real ending must be Del dying.
3:32:54 I love the onyx guard he just looks back at jinn like “uh mam” probably thinking doing this in a room filled with 3 war heroes one who killed the locust queen and 3 others is a bad idea.
@@OmegaPictures318 *JINN:* "I'M PREGNANT SO I'M THE ONE IN THE RIGHT AND EVERYONE IS AGAINST ME BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN IN POWER!!!!!!" *I.R.I.S.:* "Ahem."
pretty much yea they did like a poll or something for that game before it was released allowing them to choose if Clayton Carmine survives or not. Other than that I think they just like milking the whole "carmines dead...again" joke lol.
@@josecontreras8931 headshotted, eaten by bugs inside a worm, crushed by a car and now blasted by the hammer of dawn. No wonder Clayton turned out so brutal, his family keeps getting murdered in the most brutal ways
3 reasons to pick JD over Del. 1. Marcus has lost enough to lose his son now. 2. Del was always the Dominic Santiago of the new Gears trilogy, so passing on the torch, & all that. 3. JD X Kait.
More reasons to pick Del over JD: 1. Don't need JD when already have Fenix with plot armor/main hero 2. Del is the Dom so passing on the torch and all that 3. Del x Kait 4. JD is a brat with no growth but his hair over two whole games.
Bruh, that choice scene was rough. Especially seeing Marcus, he already lost his best friend, his father, his wife, and now his son. Granted knowing you could save JD means different ending. In the end, Gears has always brought the best in storytelling, second to Halo (except Halo 5, that was jus garbage).
Halo 5 was a mess, the story could be so much better if you totally scrapped Osiris Team lol The only parts i cared were from Master Chief his team and Cortana. Following the Arbiter with his own planet at war
This game is actually amazing from watching these cutscenes. “Why did you send the train back without lowering the bridge?!” Real questions to real situations and that sort of thing.
Ben K Nah Fahz is an asshole and not the type I’d like to be around. Baird is always the best he’s a smartass, reasonable at times, hilarious, and a mechanical genius.
Ben K Well he’s an old man so of course he’s corny now. But you know age gets to characters sometimes. Baird was a total badass back then, he maybe very old with his sarcasam now but like hey still my favorite Gear Pre-Swarm Era.
Ben K What the fuck? Kait has an interesting story to her abilities. Plus, it’s very full of suprises and twists. Now she struggles with her true identity that is good inner character conflict.
@@glp even worse when no matter who you save in the game movie there will always be people clamoring that you didnt save the other.... lazy playwriting is what i call it they could have done it like in gow3 with dom in a non interactive cutscene but nooo they had to leave that choice to the players because they didnt want to deal with the flak in the forums. and even though i know that personaly i would have saved JD not because of JD the reason is marcus, he deserved to have atleast one family member surviving it and possibly him.
A. Carmine has lost two of his brothers! He continues avenging his brothers even after Gears Of War 3 and now he lost his niece to the SWARM! That’s fucked up.

@jamesalbertrabor2035 Nah. Big guys (dudes with the crystals on 'em) are the ACTUAL Locust. Swarm are just the spawn of snatchers and weird fucking pods.
it was of course shoehorned no less. now theyve put themselves in a corner. either write two storys or tell a canon story and say your choice never mattered to begin with.
I think its weird to go deep into JD's fall and then abruptly switch into Kait's perspective. I thought the game was gonna about his character development. I don't dislike Kait's story but I think this should've been a dual campaign.
Really? I feel like all the GOW5 trailers made the Kait angle super obvious. I guess it would be jarring if you weren’t paying attention to that stuff.
Before I watched the whole video, I thought all those “Why does everyone choose Del?” comments were people upset he was always getting sacrificed. Didn’t realize he was the ‘save’ til the end. Now we know Del is the one who’s not going to make it, but considering how close Del and Kait became on this journey I can see how a person might make that choice in the moment.
Still love Paduk and the UIR. He sheds like on UIR who's normally shrouded in mystery. Always had a keen heart for the mysterious. Vasgar Desert was 100% my favorite part of the Gears 5 campaign.
I have to say, the locust symbol not being noticed on the necklace was genius. It is so inconspicuous that unless they were to expect it to be there, they would just think it was part of the back of the necklace. That was smart and I appreciate it.
Now this is a female main character done right! No whiney bullshit, no railing against "the patriarchy", no being automatically right in every situation, just a well written character that shows growth and confidence in a realistic manner. Well done, Collective. Also, great vid as always 🤓✌️
@Ben K 1. Shes technical not a military member, due to the dire circumstances she is allowed to serve because of her knowledge of the outsiders. 2.The cog literally has bigger issues than a rebellious asset, so her getting court martialed is not on cogs top priority list. Heck they dont even know when she went for a while. 3. It's a video game with giant worms/monsters. If you want realism play Arma3. 4. If you have issues with someone's opinion it's okay to disagree, just dont be a fucking liberal snowflake by calling people names and behaving like a brat; especially, if they didn't insult you to begin with.
@Ben K wow you clearly need friend. Making insult instead of trying to have a logical discussion doesn't make your point correctl. 1. The COG army does consist of few human soldiers, kinda the reason why Baird designed all the robots. So, their priority isn't a rebellious girl, it's the to repopulate and survive the Swarm. again, only reason why she was allowed to server was because of her ties with out side settlements and because they need anyone who has experience fighting the new threat. The one that should reallly be court martial is JD. He abandoned his post and fought against COG forces. Thats treason, also. Disobeying orders is not treason at all, I mean yall you'll be punished either through a dishonorable discharge or face prision time depending of the severity, not be labeled as a traitor. Who the hell told you these? We have plenty of real life examples of solders or marines who disobeyed orders but are not considerd traitors. A traitor is someone also defects to the any enemy faction. Also Marcus straight up punched a high ranking officer and was very close on exposing the cogs secret island. While Braid used a prototype weapon to destroy a portion of the locust army, alone killed the locust general at the time. So I mean it's kinda simple why he was let go, he was demoted though. Also my point of realism does apply. Why are you complaining about cogs unrealistic behavior but yet you seem to accept the concept of giant monsters/worms. I mean this is a game set in a fictional world. Heck this doesn't even happen on earth. I'm happy to have a talk with you but if you responde like a child, I just hope it's only your online persona that's this toxic.
I think everyone choice to save JD for the fact that he's Marcus's son, that's fair. But if you think in Kait's perspective, Del is always supporting her decision and choose to be by her side wherever she go which makes alot more sense but it's just my opinion.
Marcus literally lost his mother, his brothers: Carlos and Dom, 2 Carmines, Kim, Michael Barrick, Tai, his father and his wife Anya.. It's just cruel for him to lost his son too..
Damn, I saved JD in my playthrough. That's tough, Marcus is literally a ruined man now, just a walking shell. Kinda glad I saved him on my end. If they continue this series, I wonder what cannon they will go with.
Fahz - "If we're selecting targets then shouldn't someone with real military authority be here?" Marcus - "It's Fahz right?" Fahz - "Yes Sir" Marcus - "Shut the fuck up Fahz"
The thing that makes JD/Del's deaths so powerful, is how sudden and unexpected it is. When watching this for the first time, I was not expecting the game to have that choice be given to you. There have been moments in past Gears games where you did get to choose, but really it didn't do much other than maybe having other collectibles that you had to get on your second attempt. Never has there been a "Save Kaiden/Ashley" choice. Mass Effect was a third person shooter role playing game with choices and decisions. Gears of War was an action third person shooter. A very big difference. Usually a choice like this, out of nowhere, is difficult and not well received. Here, it is so sudden, such a huge jump in speed, that it works.
the reveal or where the locust came from BRUH just imagine how pissed you would be if you found out the race youve been at war with was created by your own.
Still crazy how the first 25% of this you forget Kait is the focus of this game. JD does drive it and i def dont mind him being main. I just was waiting for Kait to have that Ellen Ripley swagger.
I agree with JD s demise in a narrative sense. In a similar situation as the Carmine's Curse (as I call it) Marcus has a curse too where he loses those he holds especially dearest Also, I guess I'm the only one who kinda felt for Jack? He was low key the mascot of the series in a way
Damon Baird is and always will be my favorite Gears of War character, I love his attitude of sarcastic scientific genius and sometimes idiot but kind. see that old photo The GoW Judgment kilo team at Halvo Bay was just nostalgic, what a great touch!
Wow! The Carmine legacy went from C to L unless Lizzie is a moniker for Elizabeth. Anthony got his head blown off, Benjamin got devoured by antibodies, Clayton just survived, and Lizzie got an instant cremation.
What a beautiful looking game. Seriously the visuals alone on this game are impressive as hell. Great work on the vid man. You're always the number one choice for game movies.
All the new tech and weapons was exactly what I wanted when I finished gears 3 I thought with humanity back on its feet I wanted to see what the cog would make and do after the war and in not disappointed
In my opinion this is by far the best game that has came out not only does it give you fear excitement sadness Etc the gameplay overall was beautiful flawless it had me watching the whole time and eager to find out more on the upcoming year thank you for all this and hope to see something new in the future best of all the end was perfect good job guys
I noticed it right away and was like something big is coming. I'm surprised more people didn't hear it (or notice it), though the first was New Ephyra I think (the very beginning of it)
2:09:50 Niles is like “not threatening, I just want all sides of the equation... oh you’ll delete me and my research? Alright thanks for telling me... based on this information I think I’ll help you.” 🤣🤣
Kait is the definition of a female character done right. Her position as the protagonist makes full narrative sense, unlike many others, which feel forced because of a political agenda.
@fantasticmoose oh shite off m8. It's an indisputable fact that these things have happened over the last few years. And to claim that I don't see female characters as "normal" is absolutely absurd.
I saw a video awhile back that said kait was a shitty protagonist because there was nothing to her, but I agree with you. I'm relatively new the gears story so I'm not as attached to Marcus and them, that may be why she's a fine protagonist to me. I don't really see a reason to hate on her, but I feel like people do simply because they want Marcus back.
Lizzie's death was by far one the saddest deaths of a Carmine ever honestly. It'll never beat Benji's death tho. Benji was too wholesome to die the plot should've protected him like it did with Clayton :(
That’s what I’m saying! Like, I appreciate the content since I’ll never play this myself but... Jesus Christ his reaction times are that of a fucking aardvark. Half the time he doesn’t know where to go, even though there’s clear indicators and this is referencing the *ENTIRE* series. Not just this play through.
I really like the new redesign for the Lancer. The larger Holographic sight and stock makes it look more similar to an M4. I'm just disappointed that in the trailer Fahz was using one with both a Sight and the GL. But in the actual game, the GL variant has iron sights. I wonder why they did that. Did they think having both would make it OP or seem like an unoriginal design?
In my opinion, Gears 5 has the best campaign in the series since Gears of War 2 (still the best). The story has some real meat to it, the open world sections and side missions aren't that deep but fun enough to not feel tacked on.

Gears 2 was my favorite before because it felt like you were actually part of something, there were thousands of other gears fighting in operation hollow storm. Gears 1 it was just delta and alpha squad and it felt empty, granted it was a special opps mission. Gears 3 gave you the feeling there was no safe haven because the COG fragmented and everyone went their own way.

The thing with the onyx guard is a call back to the time when in GOW3, Prescott came back and the guards bump shoulder with Marcus.

Now this is a female main character done right! No whiney bullshit, no railing against "the patriarchy", no being automatically right in every situation, just a well written character that shows growth and confidence in a realistic manner. Well done, Collective. Also, great vid as always 🤓✌️
Doesn't matter, people will still say how she's a "Mary sue" and all the other shit cause they don't play the game.
@@nxzavian That was exactly the character I was thinking of when I posted my comment...
@Ben K 1. Shes technical not a military member, due to the dire circumstances she is allowed to serve because of her knowledge of the outsiders. 2.The cog literally has bigger issues than a rebellious asset, so her getting court martialed is not on cogs top priority list. Heck they dont even know when she went for a while. 3. It's a video game with giant worms/monsters. If you want realism play Arma3. 4. If you have issues with someone's opinion it's okay to disagree, just dont be a fucking liberal snowflake by calling people names and behaving like a brat; especially, if they didn't insult you to begin with.
@Ben K wow you clearly need friend. Making insult instead of trying to have a logical discussion doesn't make your point correctl. 1. The COG army does consist of few human soldiers, kinda the reason why Baird designed all the robots. So, their priority isn't a rebellious girl, it's the to repopulate and survive the Swarm. again, only reason why she was allowed to server was because of her ties with out side settlements and because they need anyone who has experience fighting the new threat. The one that should reallly be court martial is JD. He abandoned his post and fought against COG forces. Thats treason, also. Disobeying orders is not treason at all, I mean yall you'll be punished either through a dishonorable discharge or face prision time depending of the severity, not be labeled as a traitor. Who the hell told you these? We have plenty of real life examples of solders or marines who disobeyed orders but are not considerd traitors. A traitor is someone also defects to the any enemy faction. Also Marcus straight up punched a high ranking officer and was very close on exposing the cogs secret island. While Braid used a prototype weapon to destroy a portion of the locust army, alone killed the locust general at the time. So I mean it's kinda simple why he was let go, he was demoted though. Also my point of realism does apply. Why are you complaining about cogs unrealistic behavior but yet you seem to accept the concept of giant monsters/worms. I mean this is a game set in a fictional world. Heck this doesn't even happen on earth. I'm happy to have a talk with you but if you responde like a child, I just hope it's only your online persona that's this toxic.
@Ben K Honestly who hurt you? I truly hope youre only like this behind a screen.
I think everyone choice to save JD for the fact that he's Marcus's son, that's fair. But if you think in Kait's perspective, Del is always supporting her decision and choose to be by her side wherever she go which makes alot more sense but it's just my opinion.
Marcus has lost Dom, Kim, His Wife, Father, and Mother. Do you want him to lose his son too? I wouldn't!
Ano I'm a bit late but in gow 4 JD was there for her just as much if not more
In GoW 4 Del was just the comedic guy.
Marcus literally lost his mother, his brothers: Carlos and Dom, 2 Carmines, Kim, Michael Barrick, Tai, his father and his wife Anya.. It's just cruel for him to lost his son too..
Damn, I saved JD in my playthrough. That's tough, Marcus is literally a ruined man now, just a walking shell. Kinda glad I saved him on my end. If they continue this series, I wonder what cannon they will go with.
The og's. Baird, Clayton, Cole, Marcus and Dom... damn I miss those days...
Dom***
DOOOMMM! NOOOOOOOOO........
Del was actually a decent character in this game instead of the black guy who makes jokes, and the story was meaty man
When Dave kept thumping and collapsed, I felt that lmao
God dammit! Everybody picks Dell! Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, I wish we could save em both but c'mon! Hasn't Marcus lost enough?
Gilberto Tabares I think it adds to go character ngl he really has lost everything because of the grubs and he still pushes on
Most people are picking JD and want him to live. The game does a shit job conveying the person you don't pick dies.
She should have got both knives
I mean in all honestly it makes sense for people to instinctually pick Del because you spend most of the game with him as your partner
Everybody picks JD, It's rare when someone picks Del.
Fahz - "If we're selecting targets then shouldn't someone with real military authority be here?"
Marcus - "It's Fahz right?"
Fahz - "Yes Sir"
Marcus - "Shut the fuck up Fahz"
The thing that makes JD/Del's deaths so powerful, is how sudden and unexpected it is. When watching this for the first time, I was not expecting the game to have that choice be given to you. There have been moments in past Gears games where you did get to choose, but really it didn't do much other than maybe having other collectibles that you had to get on your second attempt. Never has there been a "Save Kaiden/Ashley" choice. Mass Effect was a third person shooter role playing game with choices and decisions. Gears of War was an action third person shooter. A very big difference. Usually a choice like this, out of nowhere, is difficult and not well received. Here, it is so sudden, such a huge jump in speed, that it works.
Imagine a mechanic that if you didn’t react they both die
34:25 I just remembered in Gears of War 3 she mentioned she was there when they fired the Hammer of Dawn onto humanity
So, who’s hyped for “Gears of War 6: This Time It’s Personal!”? 😈
Where you hear that from
Hector I just made it up. 😁
crazyman8472 oh lmao😂
Gears of war should've ended at 3
Gears 6: Vengeance for Jack.
the reveal or where the locust came from BRUH just imagine how pissed you would be if you found out the race youve been at war with was created by your own.
3:31:29 Marcus: It’s fahz right
Fahz: yes sir
Marcus: STFU fazth
Fahz: yep sir
Still crazy how the first 25% of this you forget Kait is the focus of this game. JD does drive it and i def dont mind him being main. I just was waiting for Kait to have that Ellen Ripley swagger.
Really gotta feel for Marcus man... loses his best friend, his dad, his wife, his fucking tomatoes, and now JD. Shit's tough.
I agree with JD s demise in a narrative sense. In a similar situation as the Carmine's Curse (as I call it) Marcus has a curse too where he loses those he holds especially dearest
Also, I guess I'm the only one who kinda felt for Jack? He was low key the mascot of the series in a way
no your not the only one, I felt a wave a sadness as soon as Baird said what jack was doing. Jack was a brave little guy.
Was hoping to hear Gears 6 at the showcase last week but it looks like we're waiting a little longer. Great video also!
That final boss fight reminds me of the one in the first Dead Space.
Andrei Nosatîi i felt that too! glad someone else noticed
Damon Baird is and always will be my favorite Gears of War character, I love his attitude of sarcastic scientific genius and sometimes idiot but kind. see that old photo The GoW Judgment kilo team at Halvo Bay was just nostalgic, what a great touch!
Wow! The Carmine legacy went from C to L unless Lizzie is a moniker for Elizabeth. Anthony got his head blown off, Benjamin got devoured by antibodies, Clayton just survived, and Lizzie got an instant cremation.
They shouldn't have killed her the first minute I instantly loved her she was so badass
What about the one from 4

Geez Kat needs to lighten up...
Dave is important too.
What a beautiful looking game. Seriously the visuals alone on this game are impressive as hell. Great work on the vid man. You're always the number one choice for game movies.
All the new tech and weapons was exactly what I wanted when I finished gears 3 I thought with humanity back on its feet I wanted to see what the cog would make and do after the war and in not disappointed
In my opinion this is by far the best game that has came out not only does it give you fear excitement sadness Etc the gameplay overall was beautiful flawless it had me watching the whole time and eager to find out more on the upcoming year thank you for all this and hope to see something new in the future best of all the end was perfect good job guys
You have the best gameplay Channel on RUclips I've been waiting for Gears of War 5 come out now I guess I have to wait for 6 now
Gears of war reprise music playing on Act 2 Chapter 5 hit me
I noticed it right away and was like something big is coming. I'm surprised more people didn't hear it (or notice it), though the first was New Ephyra I think (the very beginning of it)
2:09:50 Niles is like “not threatening, I just want all sides of the equation... oh you’ll delete me and my research? Alright thanks for telling me... based on this information I think I’ll help you.” 🤣🤣
Compared to halo 5, gears 5 is beautiful. Straight awesome.
Kait is the definition of a female character done right. Her position as the protagonist makes full narrative sense, unlike many others, which feel forced because of a political agenda.
@fantasticmoose oh shite off m8. It's an indisputable fact that these things have happened over the last few years. And to claim that I don't see female characters as "normal" is absolutely absurd.
I saw a video awhile back that said kait was a shitty protagonist because there was nothing to her, but I agree with you. I'm relatively new the gears story so I'm not as attached to Marcus and them, that may be why she's a fine protagonist to me. I don't really see a reason to hate on her, but I feel like people do simply because they want Marcus back.
@@SykanaOB For your sake, play or watch the original Gears game. You need to bro
Lizzie's death was by far one the saddest deaths of a Carmine ever honestly. It'll never beat Benji's death tho. Benji was too wholesome to die the plot should've protected him like it did with Clayton :(
Which one was Benji? Was he in Gears 3?
They literally made Fahz the most British person imaginable.
“Oi, ya deaf!? No personal items”
Didn't like the campaign, but I still thank you for letting me watch it. Love the channel. :)
As usual, glp delivering the best version for these vids. Love your work dudes. Keep it coming
I think Marcus was more upset about Cole being possibly dead than his own kid and it gets me in the feels.
I like how the subtitles help the player by warning with incoming firefights with “”
3:29:09 is such a scary scene lol
Love your vids , can you make more gears vids. I love the gears vids I have played all gears games.🙄😏
30:02 RIP Sofia if only we could have had the whole squad back together 😥
Damn, Marcus lost alot over the years:
Dom, his Father, Anya and now his only son. People close to him seems to wind up getting killed.
Oh shit here we go. I’m at school rn can’t wait to watch it when I get back.
Seen this was posted at work today. Just getting around to watching it. Was so excited for the rest of the shift haha
God this game is tear jerker I haven't cried for a video gave in a while
32:35= Gears equivalent of “Kowalski, analyze”.
8:56 everything comes down, protagonist doesnt panic lawl
I have been waiting the entire day for this, such a great game movie. Cheers to ya little playground! Love your game movies~ Jack. best. bot. ever.
IRIS has the same voice actor as EDI from ME2 and 3
Your gameplay still triggers me, it's like watching my dad play or something
Imagine if he actually was A dad lol
That’s what I’m saying! Like, I appreciate the content since I’ll never play this myself but... Jesus Christ his reaction times are that of a fucking aardvark. Half the time he doesn’t know where to go, even though there’s clear indicators and this is referencing the *ENTIRE* series. Not just this play through.
you put the most effort i have ever seen in a you tube channel keep up the good work and keep grinding
Really enjoy watching your content. Overall a solid channel..
Thank you. 😀

Baird: “it’s my call jinn can yell at me”
Everyone else: “JD why you do that”
Baird with his goggles reminds me of Jak if he was animated in a cartoon version.
I like the little details like different symbol in the armor of old and new COG the old as skull the new a Phoenix .😁
I like how Carriers look like every gym bro that skips leg day
thanks a lot bro :) i was waiting for it
“Yea ok I get it” lmao loved it
(Sniff)...I love this game so much 😭😭. Seriously the best channel for gaming and movies. Cause everytime I watch, I feel like I'm in a theater👍
This is one of my favorite games. Exclusive content!! 😀..Go Gears.
How did they make Gears (5)? This is as on time as he'll to me...😊.
I really like the new redesign for the Lancer. The larger Holographic sight and stock makes it look more similar to an M4.
I'm just disappointed that in the trailer Fahz was using one with both a Sight and the GL. But in the actual game, the GL variant has iron sights. I wonder why they did that. Did they think having both would make it OP or seem like an unoriginal design?
Time for revenge for Marcus’s tomato’s. DEUS VULT AND WIPE OUT THE THE TOMATO KILLERS.
