10 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting Gears Tactics

Emergency holes are subterranean pits that continuously spawn enemies until they are closed. However, the player typically has to wait for a wave of Locusts to emerge from these e-holes before they can seal


The gore is here as well, with even the famous executions system being present in a new innovative way. The gruesome aspects of the game make this feel like Gears SLG Game units while still offering a completely new gameplay sys
The Protoss single-player campaign will focus on Hierarch Artanis and span approximately 20 missions. At the helm of the glorious arkship, the Spear of Adun, you'll be tasked with uniting the Protoss factions to stop the evil Xel'Naga Amon from laying waste to the entire universe courtesy of his army of bastardized hybrids. You'll be able to customize your army in a number of ways as well as your ship, unlocking powerful gameplay-altering abilities to use from the skies, like Orbital Strike and Time Stop.


Checkpoints are so plentiful that, to be frank, they are a bit ludicrous. The player can even get checkpoints in the middle of a boss fight, which means they can use all the outlandish strategies they can think of until they defeat a b

Metal Gear Solid V plans to be many things: open-world, customizable, flexible, dark, funny, epic, heartfelt, cinematic... and it plainly seems to accommodate all those things together into a freeing stealth experience. For starters, as an open-world game, Metal Gear Solid V will not be that large, nor will it have a giant continuous area. Instead, the game treats you to patches of land in different countries where a large range of missions and operations will take place and can be initiated.

The game’s combat medics have a stim ability that lets them heal injured teammates. Even though their healing range is wide, the medic should never be far from everyone; they might be unable to reach a downed teammate in time. The medics also have other healing abilities, like the overpowered recovery patch. If the player makes good use of them, the unit will almost never suffer fatalit

Other than a brief foray into the Pop! figure world, Gears of War has always been a third-person cover shooter. Across all six entries so far, players have come to expect Gears games to play a certain way. Slide into cover, pop up and blast the grubs. Despite this, Gears is a franchise with tons of potential in different genres, which is something Splash Damage hopes to take advantage of with Gears Tactics. Embracing the turned-based strategy genre, Splash Damage has created a new type of Gears game that aims to blend this genre with the franchise’s roots. Is Gear Tactics another excellent addition to the franchise or does it need more time at boot camp?

To start things out, players will often find themselves in a helicopter which will act as a sort of mobile command center. From here, they can deploy to an open area and do missions therein. Side operations and primary missions co-exist in an area, and can be tackled at the same time. The way this works is players typically deploy from the mobile command center, where Snake sits with his selected buddy. The buddies, at least that which have been revealed for now, consist of either the mute, bikini-clad supernatural sniper Quiet, the loyal eye-patch-wearing D-Dog, and the mechanized, multifunctional D-Walker. An interesting thing to note is Quiet's demeanor towards Snake can change depending on how their relationship progresses over the course of the game. When deploying to an area, players will have a wide variety of customization options to go through. For example, the weapon loadout can be customized to a great extent; colors, insignias, attachments, even parts from different guns can be used to customize a weapon to your liking. Vehicles can be painted as well, and decorated with custom emblems. Speaking of, if the player so chooses, they can even deploy to an area in a vehicle and even then they can choose from deploying in a nice variety of different types of vehicles and different vehicles of each type, tanks included. Since players can recruit other soldiers in the field, either by rescuing them or abducting them, they can also once again deploy as a recruited soldier. Though it is unlikely always the case, playing as Snake is again optional. Each one of the soldiers at Snake's command have unique skills and different stats in different areas which will determine their effectiveness in areas like combat and stealth. People who have played Portable Ops and Peace Walker will be familiar with this feature. Once players have selected a loadout (which may be upgradeable and seems to consist of two primary weapons and a sidearm), a vehicle, a deployment time, and a buddy, they will be dropped off on the map. Buddies, it should be mentioned, have their own customizable loadouts. These are not as intricate as say... Snake's, but there are options, for example D-Dog can be given a stealth suit with a stun rod.
