One thing about the Pendulum Wars is how both sides are shown to have committed quite a number of inhuman acts towards the other. Yet, its always the UIR that we hear the most about.
Those who writes history always make themselves look like heroes and saints in a conflict or war
Thank you for backing us up
The one who wins the war. WILL always make themselves the hero's.
The COG were just better at keeping secrets
@@tinnyoscar24 true. I just finished gears 5 and the one lime I remember most with regards to secrets was that the cog controlled every piece of media in their empire basically controlling what their citizens seen and heard about
Imagine being in a giant world war that ends with about a month of peace, just for these monsters to come out the ground killing everything💀😭
It's kind of a rough analogy of coming out of World War 1 and eventually descending into World War 2. Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Make that roughly 20 years of peace, and you've got yourself a Poland xD
@@anthonyhicks872 pendulum wars could be comparable to world war but no way could you compare the locust/lambent war to that. 👀
Absolutely insane war; stuff they’ve never even seen before, fighting them relentlessly. And then a wave of orders on top of orders, trying to defend your home planet. these dudes are among some of those who have it the worst in fiction
That’s the crazy part, they fought almost a full century of war, it finally ends and everyone thinks things can finally go back to normal only for six weeks to pass and now you’re fighting a war of survival from a enemy, who won’t show any mercy, empathy or compassion and want to exterminate you to the last man, woman and child.
“Hey Marcus. How much you think all that Imulsion is worth?” -Baird
“I don’t think I can count that high.” -Marcus
Don't forget. "Look at all that JUICE" - Augustus Cole
it would be pretty interesting to see the UIR's side of E-day and how they handled it
Agree what few uir characters we are introduced too are very well written and awesome. Paduk and trescu just to name a few.
Could have gone better or worse. The UIR seemed a lot less coordinated/centralized at times compared to the more organized COG forces.
They also may have been lacking in other areas as the COG was stated to be made up of the main imulsion powers which also had powerful economies. Meaning the UIR could have not been as well off in that regards.
On the other hand their guys seemed far more ruthless and militarized as a whole Garosnia being the main one we know off.
I expect they would have liberally used the hammer of dawn on the locusts once they took over too much of a city which could have made the grubs start rethinking their grand campaign
Would have been way more interesting than some female Mc looking for her mummy thats for sure
it went poorly
Paduk in Judgment says how Karn simply demolished Gorasnaya
UIR mostly surrendered to the Cog. Gorasnia kept fighting. (Paduk's home nation)
6 weeks after the armistice.
E-Day happened.
While Karen, led the massacre on Gorasnia.
Other Locust wiped out most remaining UIR forces. And the hammer strikes did the rest.
Glassing most of the super continent.
No idea why we havent gotten a full game centered around the Pendulum Wars era with Marcus.
or like the GOW4 Proologue, diferents stories within the Pendulum Wars from the perspective of differents Gears and UIR Troopers, imagine going from conflict to conflict, seeing and playing, the whole 79 years of war, from both sides, it would be awesome!
Just look at the community and you will see why. They keep calling it call of gears
@@joshuaguerrier7392 Well then the "community" deserves the current Gears games we receive.
Maybe a spin off but not as a main game.. people don’t want to shoot at other humans in a gears game
@@lonemaus562 If you can write a compelling badass story, I dont see what the issue is. It doesnt have to be exclusively boots on the ground human v human in every encounter either. Make Tai's origin story its own act in the game, where it turns into a predator stealth hunting section.
I loved that stage with commando dom. That was so fun. Hope they make a game on that.
Me too, unfortunate that it's the only bit of gameplay we have on the pendulum wars :(
@@KingAbzTV we can only wish.
Same here bro.
I loved the UIR armor design. Seems to consist of strapped on armor pieces that allow for major protection and flexability. That a green industrial look and the helmet. Also the magnets on the back for weapon storage. It looks so practical. And let's not forget the Markza. It is not a rifle. It is a *Comrade*
"In the past we fought for emulsion.....but all of that changed during E-day"
I’d love to play a gears game that takes place during the Pendulum Wars.
there should be one, the pendulum wars were 70 years long so it’s suprising we don’t yet
You should do a video on the Pendulum Wars era Battle of Anvil Gate. Not only is it the start of Hoffman's rise through the officer ranks, but it sheds some light on the conflict in the generations before Marcus and Dom.
Y'know, I've been in love with Gears of War since GOW 2 and I've always been interested in the deeper story so this has just been pretty amazing to learn
It would be cool to see the locust vs the COG vs UIR vs Lambient infected. A four way war on all fronts just imagine what would happen.
Well, they happened at the same time, a game with the pendulum wars on sera and locust vs lambent underground would be awesome, much better than 4 and 5
You know what would be cool, a red alert style game around the pendulum wars.
The uir look so much better and more intimidating than the cog. Pretty sure they would've won if their own doomsday weapon wasn't used against them.
I know the COG has the main GEARS as heros, but I'd side with the UIR, mainly because we know of more of the COG's dirty secrets that makes the COG the overlooked villains.
@2:01 if the COG are socialist/collectivists then by default they are the villains... just look at the damage the collectivists are doing current day.
@@BroNapartay so true.
Cog are basically NATO
Too bad they ignored the book lore on Aspho Fields. It explains so much on that operation, and yet, they just derp their way through that mission.
Let’s Fucking go a new video I wish they would make a spin off series of the pendulum wars from when Marcus and dom first enlisted
to the end of it
That would be f$&king awesome!! The book aspho fields goes deep into the relationship with Marcus, Carlos (doms older brother) and dom
I love your videos especially about the pendulum wars the UIR are so interesting and I love their designs. Your videos help me learn more about this I love your videos great job!!!
Thank you for the kind words!!
Would be cool to get a game centered around a group of unnamed Gears or even UIR during the wars. Of an RTS set during this could be cool too.
Another great video man
Great video! I really enjoyed watching it!! Keep them coming !! 👍🏼
thank you my friend!
It would be cool to play as a UIR squad in the story. Good video again abz
We need a Pednulem wars game
I can't believe it. I was going to suggest this video to you and here it is. Ain't some amazing g timing.
Theres a lot more hints of battle from the Pendelum wars that could be in here that we get bits and pieces of.
You could do a whole course of the war video on them. Or maybe a few if you really dig into them.
i love your videos man, itd be awesome to see some longer lore videos! i know it takes a lot more work though
Yeah longer videos mean the video upload frequency tends to drop, just depends on the topic I guess!
@@KingAbzTV by all means keep doing what you do but me personally i prefer less uploads->longer vids cause i listen to youtube while im at work or while i sleep so i love longform lore videos. either way i like your vids no matter the length so keep up the good work man!
@@BossDrSample thanks my friend, I’ll definitely keep that in mind!
I would actually love to see a game based on the pendulum wars
I bet if they retconned how the chainsaw was invented, so it could appear earlier in the timeline, I bet they could make a pretty sick Gears of War game set during the Pendulum Wars.
bouta take this video to sleep. thanks brotha 🙏🏽
My moms in the hospital, thanks for the vid made me forget about it all
Thoughts and prayers with you champ 🙏💙
This cheered me up a lil bit
Well I’m glad my vids mean something to many, hope you’re doing okay friend!
The thumbnail goes hard
A gears game exclusively centered around the pendulum wars would be BADASS. Would bring me back to GOW, I stopped playing after gears 2
Gears 3 was an incredible conclusion, play that right now.
Love the vid yhanks
It'd be cool if we got a Prequel to the Gears series that takes place during the Pendulum Wars, mixing it with a bit of MGS and Spec Ops The Line themes of Anti War and the Horrors of War and the cycle of Violence.
I just found this video, and got to say 10/10 good video.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! Keep making more.
I miss gears of War, it had a good mix of hardcore combat and a pretty deep story. Too bad it didint end at 3.
Honestly Judgement was a pretty good prequel. Although I guess you're talking Gears of War 4 onwards.
@@KSmithwick1989 yeah I was
It did end at gears 3, since Epic and Cliffy B ended it at 3. He said that was the true ending they were never gonna make more so they sold the rights why not make that extra money. I dont count anything after 3 as canon( not including Judgment of course). Microsoft ruined Halos story and Gears by making sequels we didnt need. They shoulda made prequels instead i would have love to seen Eday happen they had 14 years in between Eday and the first game but know they had to fuk up the story with a sequel.
Glad to know I'm not alone feeling this way. It ended at 3 and the sequels while kinda fun were not Canon gears
@@jethrodark2372no epic games actually was working on gears 4 All the way back when judgment came out but then they gave it to the coalition and epic actually came up with the swarm just not the design and that Marcus sone would be the new protagonist
One thing I rarely see people do is clarify the reason _why_ they were called The Pendulum Wars instead of “the resource wars” or “The Great War.” It may seem self-explanatory, but I was certainly stumped by it at first, so here it is:
The Pendulum Wars were named so because throughout the entirety of the conflict, no one side was ever able to achieve a crushing victory over its rival, and thus the state of the war was constantly shifting as the UIR took one place, then the COG took another, and so on so forth. The war kept going, and the status quo never changed.
Back and forth, back and forth, the hands of favor cradling first one nation, then the other, their fates entirely up in the air as the balance shifted…
Like a Pendulum.
You should make a video on the UIR civil War
Hear me out, Gears of War: Pendulum Wars. There is a whole other war in the Gears universe unexplored by the games except the prologue that one time
Tryna get prequel games of the pendulum wars and even e-day on the UIR side
Good energy sauce to add for your roast dinner lol
It would be cool to play this where you choose cog or the other side have a long time/storyline I would buy and play it lol just a thought you know
Great vid
Thanks mate!
We need a trilogy that takes place during the pendulum wars
When you dig into the lore and learn about all the atrocities committed during the wars, you start to really understand the stranded and why they hated both sides.
I still don’t know if I’d have to guts to turn my back on both governments after the grubs showed up though.
"Immulsion could be the worst thing to happen to the planet Cera."
The Scrin: Tiberium infection, I choose YOU! *Throws meteor at the planet*
I really want the next game to be set during this time. Like Halo Reach.
Suuurrrrpriiissseeeee
Am I the only who has been wanting a game about the pendulum wars since the disappointments that were gears 4 and 5 ?
Well gears 6 is in works now...
The UIR armor is just perfect. I feel like they would've put up a better fight then the COG when Emergence-day happened. Especially since they no longer had the hammer of dawn and didn't have to worry about being glassed by their own guy's. They almost remind me of Russians.
it makes sense since its inspired by the soviet union
nah COG is literally far more powerful than UIR in terms of economy, political and military strength
@@Jupiter.141The CoG were losing most of the war until they stole the hammer, don't get it twisted
I'd certainly be interested in a Gears of War game or 2 set in the Pendulum Wars. One* certainly in the classic Gears of War game style. And another in the Strategy genre.
I'd like to know more about the UIR and how they fought. Because the COG was based around Infantry, it be interesting if the UIR was focused around vehicles or infantry. And also what sort of vehicles both sides employed and how they used them. Not to mention aircraft as well.
Not sure what sort of Strat game I'd go for though. Company of Heroes style or something else. Maybe Empire at War minus the space combat stuff of course.
The Coalition should have made prequels instead of sequels, i dont count Gears 4 and 5 as canon they ruined the story with it in my opinion just like 343 ruined halos story by making a sequel. Both games had so much lore they could have made so many prequels. Hell there is 14 years of war from Eday alone the first game takes place 14 years after Eday. I would have like to seen Eday happen in a game than the sequels we got.
@@jethrodark2372 Agreed. Thought Gears 4 & 5 was a bit, well. Why are you making these games?
And I played Halos 4 & 5. (sigh) What was the point.
@@calumdeighton Right!....it also dont feel the same without Marcus, Cole, Baird and Dom i just dont care about these new characters. Its like playing God of War without Kratos or Metroid without Samus or Zelda without Link it just does not work(for a spinoff game sure but not main sequels).
@@jethrodark2372 I didn't like the new bloods myself.
Too confident and... Don't know the right words but youngsters who are too good for themselves. James being rather upbeat & cocky while Kait just swung from "we do what I want" and then to "we're a team".
both sides were heavily invested in armour and infantry but the uir was also invested into their space program and navy but mostly armor and men
Man when’s the next gears coming out doe
Wouldn't Immulsion TECHNICALLY be a FOSSIL FUEL?
Ive only ever heard it called a fungus I think, but this isnt even Earth, completely different planet with weird alien shit lmao
Ive seen it as more of a BIO fuel created from the secretion's of the imulsion organisms.
@@lordinch8282 Just wondering, the earlier games seem like they were going for something different lore wise. It seems like originally humans were colonizers and the locust were native. Although they then backtracked from that at about Gears of War 3.
More so, given the locust are clearly too culturally and technologically advance to be just a few decades old. With their own language, writing system, and organized religion.
@@KSmithwick1989 I think they do mention that a lot of the creatures we meet and fight on the Locust's payroll are native to the hollows, that gigantic cave system the rift worms made, but the locust drones themselves (the bulk of the locust army) as well as Myrrah herself are the result of genetic manipulation. I think the Kantus species specifically was native and built temples to worship the worms!!
it's a parasitic fungi
Why is the UIR's Heavy Mechanized Infantry have Skulls with a Thunderbolt through them as emblems?
As a symbol of Gear killers and also it opposes the Cog emblem
wait a sec. Samson lived in Azura? Why would he have left then? We found his body in the Mount Kadar research base, so why did he leave?
Probably a retcon or a lore over site
Can we get a pendulum wars game or show please?
I love thy content
Thank you my friend! Glad you enjoy the vids!
I think the whole super soldier gone wrong thing was stupid why didn't they just let the hordes origins remain a mystery also doesn't make sense how they populated that quickly in a short amount of time and build there society that would have taken hundreds of years it was implied many times that they were here longer than humanity and there was myths and legends from over 100 years before the pendulum wars about those creatures
Friends, where can I get GOW comics??
🔥
So how did the locust breed so quickly in two years??? Am I missing something or is it just a plot hole.
Kinda wished the whole middle of this video wasn’t donated to the origin of the locust and more on the actual conflict and history of it
I apologise! It's interesting because I was thinking that but I realised that it's all intertwined, because the Pendulum Wars is what caused all of it in the first place so it was hard not to mention
I wonder: What if the UIR won and the COG lost? How would've it effected the story of Gears?
That would be cool to see. The UIR may have been the last hope for humanity instead of the COG.
@@branson6784 So do a video about it, 'd love to see you come up with.
Humanity probably would have lost. Prescott basically concluded after a few months and after trying to drum up support for a major counter-offensive that everyone had given up, and that every nation were fighting by themselves and saving up their weapons of mass destruction for the end game, namely to go out in a blaze of glory. Which was what led him to do what he did.
Does anyone know if the locust had there own religion
They did they worshipped the Giant Earth eater worms as gods of of a cycle of Death and rebirth, I do not not remeber the details right now.
Why were the politicians deemed valuable?

I don’t understand this part of the lore why not negotiate with the COG to help fight of the lambent and coexist to boost international and economic development even benefits while developing a cure?
they didn't know of the lambent during this time, only Adam Fenix found out about lambency from Myrrah a few years before Emergence day, but this was one of Adam Fenix's many secrets
@@KingAbzTV okay but why the attack on humanity. Why not simply ask since they beaten UIR?
@@TgamerBio5529 I think Rise Of RAAM goes into this a bit. The Locusts during the later campaigns who saw the massive war on the surface and didnt trust the humans and Myrra certainly didnt
@@TgamerBio5529 Adam fenix and myrrah had that deal where he said he would find a cure/weapon against lambency in exchange for myrrah not to invade the surface, he ran out of time as the locust were being pushed out by the lambent thus invading the surface an no longer trusting the humans
@@Jacinto805 this is the part I don’t understand why not notify the COG government since they do own him and has the resources. Yeah I understand they don’t humans but still it was on while COG government that was responsible only a small number of humans in the government.
❤❤
Like your channal man, but i have to be a OG and ignore the gears 5 info
👍
Do you think Microsoft or the coalition come out with gears of war game that goes back to the pension wars and make a series of it what do you think? 🤔🤔🤔
2:01 How is the COG "socialist"? It is much closer to a very lite form of fascism.
first
AINT ENOUGH FREAKS TO STOP THIS MAN!!
Thx for this
Be nice to see a few Asian characters in the game I can't remember seeing any to be honest.
Kim sung Jae yung Ming is one
Tai from GoW2.
Kim from GoW1.
In other words its same as what happens in our world :) Bah nothing new lol
Too many goddamn ads in your video
Perfect soldiers. That get their butt kicked unanimously by Marcus and his group the imperfect soldiers lol. Aka their not that perfect soldiers. Less perfect at soldiering than normal soldiers lollll
Wait the cog is considered socialist, now I can understand why I don't like them
Well the Cog is a Authoritarian Autocracy and the UIR is more a Military Dictatorship.
@@JACKAL747 Sounds alike a bunch actual nazis, constitutional republic is the best.
It's not, in lore it's mentioned that socialism exists but was brushed aside in favor or ultra right wing ideologies. So essentially fascism. The UIR is the one where people call each other comrade and stuff so it's obviously meant to represent Russia or at least partly, though they use fascist imagery a lot too. Both sides were fairly similar though the COG was slightly more xenophobic and centralized from what I can gather.
@@Person-sf7ql Love how people think fascism is a right wing thing being that the creator of fascism was Mussolini who was extremely left wing.
Ah, I didn't know you were one of those types of people. I hope you get better! Goodbye ✌️
I don't like any of the lore after 3
And i know back in the day, we all just used to play it for the Violence...
