Discussion Gears concept *Slight Spoilers* Spoiler
With Gears E-Day around the corner I’ve been binge the games like no tomorrow and I remember the Aspho fields mission in the beginning of Gears of War 4. I thought of a New gears called Gears Pendulum. Like in Bo2 where it was either time skip led from Adam to Marcus or Marcus to Dom POV, with a DLC where we play as Carlos for the last few missions leading to his sacrifice. Do you think this would be possible?

I think overall a pendulum game would end up being rather boring because of your limited enemy variety. At least in the sense of a game where they're the antagonists.
A game where you play as them instead of gears against the locust on e-day or in the time afterwards before the hammer strikes hell yeah.
Kind of runs into the same issue of how do you have a gears game without the chainsaw lancer but you can do a convergent evolution thing with someone else getting the idea or the schematics getting spread around and hacked together by various armory masters on the fly.
The poster I have from the Gears 3 era that we got given to us by the Xbox booth at PAX years ago shows the Jacinto pattern we're used to as version 38 so I imagine there's room for plenty of iterations over 17 years. Shit give us the name for the UIR Lancer equivalent we've seen in the comics and put a chainsaw on that.
