thats kinda what i was thinking- something along the line of the two enemies working together- or the fact that someone created the locusts and let them loose to bring a never ending war (because the human race has never known peace for so long, when they were on the brink of world peace the leaders created the locust- what would the cogs be like in a time of peace?)

To me the story went that way, you go in that laboratory, you think you'll finally know where the locust are from, you play on the edge waiting, then they tell you that it might be your fault that the locust got pissed or the humans did something terrible to them, you continue-on playing thinking that the answer will come a little later, then you see those infected locust(just like in Halo) that they are fighting against, you think hey were do these guys come from, thinking your going to know where they come from you continue on playing, then you see the queen that looks like a human female, that interesting but doesn't answer any questions, you have to sink the city to destroy the infected locust you continue on playing beat the game and then you still don't know what the hell is going on or whats happening.......
Still the game was awsome but the story is kinda weird and doesn't tell you anything except put on the edge to keep you interested in the game, without any answers.

Something is sure... we will have GEars OF war 3... In the next xbox probably

Well after looking at the stuff on the LE disc it seems Epic doesn't feel it is important that you know where the Locust are from. Cliff B also said in an interview when telling a story it's good to leave your audience with some questions about the story. I agree with him, I don't think we should be spoon fed every answer. I love the way it ended and then you hear Marcus' father saying you did something wrong. Then you start to think "Damn, did they just trick us into destroying ourselves?" The funny part is I expected the queen to look human, especially after hearing her talk for the whole of both games. I mean what did you guys expect her to look like?

Well the game isn't that bad, but some people still feel offended with it's presence ^^

i have to agree with you there. sometimes its best to be left with unasnwered questions- thats where the marketing comes in, everyone will want to know what happens in gears 3, so they'll buy the game. but i do believe that people should talk about it, instead of just ignoring the story line and play the game for its beauty or gore.

i meant too human as in she had very human features, to me she looked like a lady who wore a bug costume. i meant "too human" as in she looked incredibly human, not that she resembled the Too Human game.

I don't know, I've never seen a good movie without ''some'' answers to the story, this is the second game, not the first so I expected that they would at the very least tell us something about it, in the end it was a suspense that just kept coming but without delivering.

Still an excellent action game. The versus sucks doh but Horde is great.

yeah but a game like god of war gave answers to everything within the first ten minutes of the game- does that make it a better game?

and yeah, the versus suck, kinda like the last gears. i have more fun playing horde or the campaign than sit for 45 minutes to get a lagged out game of solo wingman.

I haven't read the rest of the thread to see if it was said, but I think that the locust queen was saying at the end that the locust lived on, but not the locust that they intended survives, which leads me to believe that the lambent locust survived while the normal perished (which would make sense, as lambent were exiled from the hollow, and so would go up to ground).
