The original Gears of War was about laying the foundation and setting the stage for a massive struggle between man and monster. It introduced us to a planet named Sera and a band of warriors who will stop at nothing to preserve their people and make their home world safe yet again. Standing in their way are the Locust, a race of subterranean aliens hell bent on bringing down the Coalition of Ordered Governments and crippling the human race.

Event Description

Summary: The events of the first ended with Marcus and Dom delivering the Lightmass Bomb into The Hollow after killing General Raam. Sadly the bomb had about the same effect as sticking a bull in the ass with an ice pick. The Locust only doubled their efforts and have been sinking cities on Sera ever since. Now only one remains: the city of Jacinto whose foundation is thick enough to keep the Locust at bay. But not for long. The Locust are poised to crush Jacinto just as they have every other city. Soon humanity's struggle will be over, all hope extinguished.

But not yet.

MLG Gamer Rules

Here are the plans for the rules - Quoted from MLG Nexy

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Priorities:
1) We wanted to cut maps that have random elements. DONE
2) We wanted to remove over powered weapons: DONE (and we have tried to swap them with other power weapons)
3) We wanted to remove frag grenades: DONE (ink grenades ftw)
4) We wanted to create a basic template to build off in the future: DONE
5) Screw the chainsaw: DONE

Future: We now plan to play GB, customs, matchmaking and LAN. We will constantly be looking to cut or adjust maps/game types that don't work. We will also be looking to tweak the weapon swaps and try different variations in the future and possibly create a second or third set of swaps to use with a batch of maps.

Issues: We understand that Canals may be out of wack. We understand that Jacento is HUGE and has campability issues. We understand some maps need work. Look for this along with a few others to get updated in the future.

Once again: So to reiterate. We wanted to get this out to as fast as possible so people could play matches on GB. These are V1 for GameBattles. We will be looking to make changes in the future.
