If you're following the game you probably know that the cog armor has went through something of a redesign for gears of war 3, as it is now sleeveless. In all of the previews I've found this pretty distracting, has it been a problem for you or is it something that I just need to adjust to?
Gears of War 3
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Sep 20, 2011
The third and final installment in the Marcus Fenix trilogy. Taking place on the apocalyptic planet Sera, 18 months after the ending of Gears of War 2, players will once again take control of C.O.G. soldier Marcus Fenix as he takes on the Locust threat and their Lambent rivals.
Do the tanktops look silly?
When i first saw it i thought it looked abit odd but when you think that Gears 3 is set during summer *I read that somewhere* and the COG is low on resources after sinking Jacinto so gears will have less armour. Of course i could just be making reason when Epic just though "Eh why don't we just make them sleeveless?"
Don't mind at all. Speaking of things that seem out of place, Anya's hair in that pic is kinda glowy. Wonder why I never noticed that before.
its always good to change it up a bit. and since the gameplay is solid and fresh, why not change up the aesthetics, i like it.
The sleeves were a real make-or-break for me so unfortunately I will not be buying this. Too bad.
Of course they are wearing tank tops. They are going to win this war, look cool doing it, go play some gamecube and maybe bro out.
Yes, absolutely. Gears was set in a respectable universe that could be taken seriously by adults but now that the sleeves are gone, it's all over.
The fact that they all have sleeveless in that pic makes them seem more uniform. They were more varied before (long sleeves, short sleeves, no sleeves, blue long sleeves) and seemed more rag tag, which they were somewhat (with Baird and Cole being from different uh, companies, I think it was alpha and bravo?). Given the story the short sleeves can be justified so I'm playing along with that.
Ok, having now played the beta I can say that in game the wife beaters are alright. I was expecting to be distracted, transfixed by the bare, beefy sweat glistened arms but actually you get used to it in like 10 minutes. It still looks stupid in promotional images like the one I posted though. May as well take it all the way and have the Gears keeping cool and stylish in bermuda shorts as well.
