I constantly read and hear people whining about the GOW storyline. Most say that it has NO storyline! GOW has great storyline but some parts are only told in the Destroyed Beauty book in the Special Edition game.
People have to remember that before E Day there was a war between the human countries called the Pendulum Wars, wich lasted 79 years. The wars were over the Immulsion under Seras crust and the events led up to E-Day.
On E-Day when the Locust came they killed 1/4 of Seras population and took over in under 24 hours. Following this the survivors were directed to Jacinto Plateu , a safe haven from Locust emergence, (possibly too hard for Locust to break through??) those who did'nt make it to the plateu were stranded hence the name Stranded. The Coalition of Ordered Goverments (C.O.G) became the leaders of the surviving population.
COG counterstriked with Scorched Earth, a tactin in which they lasered the rest of Sera in hope of destroying the Locust, they only managed to stop Locust using Seras facilities.
Then events lead up to Gears of War after 14 years of Locust trying to breach Jacinto Plateu. Gears numbers are dwindling and GOG enlists the old,young,sick and fit to fight the Locust.
I don't know about you but I am so excited about the sequel!! What will they add to this storyline??
