    Would say overall pretty good video overall. Can give some information out from having an untouched version of the Xbox Underground's Jan 24th 2011 engine leak.
    9:10 There actually a ton of pretty cool unused weapons from both concept and actual in-game implementation across the franchise. Like the Ripper/Buzzsaw was a saw that would bounce off different surfaces and fired in similar way to Torque Bow and Unreal Tournament's Ripper. The Stim Pistol was also an early phase idea for Gears Judgment's Stim Grenades that existed during Gears 3's development.
    33:00 The Master Boomer did have a proof of concept map, though this was pretty much a visual-based scripting set. Which did have the Butcher walk around with wretches jumping off of it's back. There also does contain an non-rigged model of the Boomer itself, along with unused voice lines for whenever a wretch jumped on a COG character's head.
    53:22 From what I remember in the builds from around E3 2010 there were other cut enemies. Like just standard Locust Drones, Shriekers, and Grinder. Then later on they added the Reaver during late 2010 to early 2011, which was eventually scrapped.
    56:50 From what I was told privately this demo was created originally as a proof of concept inside of Gears Judgment's build of the version. As in the video there is proof as well you can see a mouse cursor throughout what was leaked. (Btw you can use JW Player to watch different archived pages from the WayBack Machine)
    There also was a different variation made for Gears 3 early on, but it only ever was used to test AI characters to interact with the environment and move using the mouse.
    web.archive.org/web/20140916041956/ua-cam.com/video/RP_EwrazbF4/v-deo.html
    58:00 Yeah, the original earliest lineup from super early RAAM's Shadow map scripting was Barrick, Harper, Tai and Valera. However there voice lines that were repurposed as to when Kim was added in as a playable character.
    The original location was also supposed to be in Tollen instead of Illima. Along with maps made heavily focused on an older man (likely later Dr. Wisen) and Jace going around saving kids during the day and night time. There were also another couple of super early concepts for DLC campaigns as well mainly Marcus trying to hold off Tollen road, rescuing Anya inside a bank vault, and lastly him disobeying orders to save his father.
    As for Carmine I do have a theory that he's likely placed there due to the fact that Epic were likely working on Recruit Carmine's model at the time, so it looked pretty cool as a marketing idea.

    gears of war is really big in latin america, especially mexico.
    when the X360 launched in mexico (about 3 months after the US launch), the console was bundled with the first gears of war, which made it very popular around here; at least that's how i first played it when my best friend got the X360 as a birthday gift.

    For the language and accent part at 1:28:57 , the COG was based in Tyrus and the people are said to speak in Tyran which could be a totally different sounding language than English. So I just think they all speak English just so we can follow the story line and narrative since it would be a LOT of work to create an entire new language. Same could be said for Gorasni(Republic of Gorasnaya), but Gorasni is more akin to sounding like a Slavic language.

      @@hellinterface6721 No, beard. Baird is Cole's bitchy bottom, not Marcus's. "Beard" is a 20th century slang term for the wife/husband of a gay man/woman in a sham heterosexual relationship. Sometimes the spouse was deceived, but other times the spouse was in on the plan and is the best friend of the person they married, simply playing the role of hetero partner in order to provide cover for their friend. Those were especially common in friendships between a lesbian and a gay man. The joke was that Dom's wife was his beard, the best friend acting as his pretend hetero partner, to hide the gay relationship between him and Marcus. His beard was to replace his beard.

    Also, an extra bit of info that I was surprised wasn't on the iceberg: In Wasteland 3, near the Southeastern area of the map, you can find a case marked with the name "Fenix." Inside is a Gears lancer which you can actually use. Though the chainsaw doesn't work, it fires explosive rounds with 99 armor penetration which basically negates any enemy's armor.

    Ironically enough, people bought that rev 9 skin for the simple fact that before the update on the skin he was so damn skinny he was not able to be seen on screen, he doesn't do emotes so he doesn't get affected by gunshots so the only thing you can hear is the clanking noises when he walks, and a lot of sweat players use that skin in multiplayer just so it was easy level up, and on top of that you can sit in a dark corner and people will run right past you.

    One of my greatest personal experiences with gears of war is playing through gears of war one's campaign on insane which was hard as balls! Me and my friend had just gotten to the part where the Theron guards show up and kept getting our asses royally handed to us over and over again growing more and more frustrated and especially has time was limited.
    Then on our final attempt I took cover, and got stuck! On what we dubbed as the rock of doom or possibly the boulder of doom and at that point we both burst out laughing in hysterics with me laughing so hard tears and snot were rolling down my face. At that point we just got off and finished it another time but damn I don't think I ever laughed that hard at anything in games especially out of sheer frustration and just how fucked up the timing of that glitch was like a sick joke and troll sent from the universe.

    i will point out, the lancer is a rifle, and the boltok is a pistol, however high-caliber it is. i figure the boltok is gonna be chambered in something akin to either .50 AE or .500 win mag. the lancer, given it's sheer size, is probably chambered in something like 7.62 NATO. So, if Dom put her out of her misery with a boltok and left a sizeable exit wound in the back of her head, the lancer would probably saw her head in two

      The lancer clearly doesn't have a higher caliber than the Boltok. You say that the lancer is much larger than the Boltok, so it must have a higher caliber, but it doesn't have a large barrel. Much of the size of the lancer is taken up by the assembly for the chainsaw, bayonet and the grenade launcher.
      Also the Boltok takes far less bullets to kill enemies. Which would suggest it has a much larger caliber.

    Yooo best early birthday gift I can receive. Been hyped asf for this iceberg
    Catch 22 about seeing an iceberg about your favorite series is that you know most of the entries. But I realized that most entries I didn’t know where cut content.
    I didn’t know about the cut gears 3 chapter dlcs nor the rocket launchers, the construction boomer , the fire starter origins cut lines, the original characters for raams shadow or how Alicia was originally an onyx guard.
    I’ll add in another cut content that wasn’t in this iceberg but another gears iceberg I saw. Palace guards in gears 2 where suppose to have giant swords like cleavers.
    This me realized how poor cut content in gears of war is archived.
    An interesting note is that supposedly there’s still undiscovered secrets in gears 3 and in gears 4 multiplayer. There’s also rumors that the slab Easter egg is still unsolved.
    But nonetheless, love the iceberg and video 🔥🔥

    Don't know if you'll see this, but on the Gears of War EU front I HIGHLY recommend the novels 'Jacinto's Remnant', 'Anvil Gate' and 'Coalition's End'. They chronicle the events between Gears 2 and Gears 3, like the disbanding of the COG and the beginning of the Lambent Pandemic. I also recommend the novel 'The Slab' which goes into detail on Marcus' trial, imprisonment and time in... the Slab prior to Gears 1.

    Gears’ Easter eggs were top tier. I always remember doing the cluckshot and sawed off chicken ones in 3.
    One thing the author of the iceberg forgot to mention was the fact that you could actually use the Infinity Blade in a Judgement map called Museum. I don’t really remember how to get the sword but it was similar to a lot of other Easter eggs where you have to activate/shoot some objects around the map. It wasn’t anything special tho, it was just a reskin of the cleaver but in the shape of the Inifinity Blade
    Also another cool Easter egg in Infinity Blade, you can actually fight 3 giant versions of the wretch in game.
    I wish more games would add silly Easter eggs to their games like how Gears always did. It just adds more fun to the game imo.
    Your iceberg videos are awesome!

    Can't believe the first GoW was released more than 15 years ago. I remember my friend had pre-ordered and got it the day it released, I think it was either November or December in 2006. We stayed up that whole night playing 2p campaign until beating the game. I introduced my brother and a few other friends to it and we were all hooked. We played online vs almost everyday for months, then did the same with Gears 2. We played the rest of the games but never played those as seriously as 1 and 2.

    Regarding Sera=Mars, the plot keeps hinting at it with the natural disasters. Gears of War keeps adding Martian weather to Sera. The windstorms and draining of the sea both actually are real. It was 50/50 before the sequels, but adding the wind of death just is too on the nose.

    in fact, the removal of that advertisement ban on the first two games is the reason ultimate edition even was available in germany, albeit it released a year after the rest of the world got it

    Late to this video, but im surprised you haven't mentioned the long history of chainsaw jamming in Gears 2. If you chainsaw jam you can break out the map in multi-player as well as kill players from across the map. The game absolutely freaks out, you can even fight the NPCs in the background scenes during campaign. There's not alot of documentation of this glitch, every videos are almost 12-14 years old and aren't 100% accurate and missing alot of minor things. I've been wanting to make my own videos to showcase the wierd spots you can get to in the campaign, however I would need to buy an old Xbox 360 to do so

    My theory about the lambent and why the Kantus aren't effected by it is because the Immultion is a kind of "halo flood" situation where it is the dominant species and possesses a type of hive-mind. it can control itself and make decisions like a fungi. it can *choose* who to infect... i like to think that the the detail of inhaling the fumes has a sort of effect similar to taking mushrooms, lmao, and gives the Kantus some sort of spiritual access. remember they can revive locust on command... fkn wild
