seriously take your time to read this i want to start a real conversation about gears of war 3 mostly the campaign..

********************************SPOILERS****************************************************

i feel like there were alot of unanswered questions and loop holes.

did else one else feel like we should of heard more of what the queen had to say?? i feel like we didnt get the whole story about adam fenix.

also what happened to griffin?? the whole time i taught he was going to pop up randomly with some of his team mates and try to fight marcus or something.

and there was major lack in back story for new characters like sam and jace.

also some information was missing about prescott and those onyx gears, which made the plot a little hard to follow.

lastly do you guys think theres going to be a gears of war prequel series?? you know epic isnt just going to stop with gears 3.

SPOILERS BELOW I do agree about the queen, it sure felt powerful having Marcus get her like that but like you said, she obviously had something interesting to say...I mean she basically failed and there was now way she was going to take out the Gears present, so who knows what secrets her mind held? Perhaps that was done purposefully, exactly..what else didn't we know about Adam? Gears 4 anyone? That also leads me to Griffin, no mention whatsoever...consider me shocked...Gears 4 anyone? The new characters feel mostly like filler as well, but like you mentioned a prequel seems like the logical next step for epic, perhaps with events evolving the characters we see in Gears 3? I didn't have any answers entering this thread and I don't have any now, but your thoughts are certainly not isolated to you alone. Anyone know if the book(s?) explain any of this in more detail?

Griffin was lame, I wish they never put him in the game, jace as well. I think they were only put there so that rappers could do the terrible voice acting....The thought that actually crossed my mind is that adam fenix did the queen and made themselves a marcus fenix. Maybe they'll make a GOW ODST or something, but If i ever get all the onyx medals, I will probably never touch a gears of war game ever again.

If you want some backstory on Sam and Prescott, you'll find some in the novels

I don't even know why they gave Griffin a name being that we only saw him for one cut scene. He was probably the weakest character in the campaign.

And yeah, I think there will be some sort of spin-off, similar to Halo ODST.

As mentioned above, backstory on the characters can be found from external sources (other than the game).

The Queen I believe is Marcus' mother; I have heard this said a few times by other people and it does make sense. Adam Fenix tells Marcus that he wants to tell him something but then never gets the chance because they run out of time. I believe this was wholly intended by Epic, leave a few mysteries about the plot so people keep talking about it. As for what the Queen has to say, again, probably deliberately left a mystery. After everything Marcus and Co. have been through because of her it would be natural for his first instinct to be annihilating her instead of hearing her out. If Marcus had simply wanted to 'chat' with the Queen it would have strongly gone against his personality. The Gears just weren't interested in talking.

I pretty much agree with everything you said. My thoughts exactly, a lot of the characters lack explanation, and griffin (in fact half of the campaign) was kind of pointless. I have the feeling that there will be a campaign DLC explaining some of this stuff. It has been confirmed that delta squad will not be in the campaign DLC, so we will have to wait and see...

yeah alot of pointless detours in the campaign. the first part of the campaign and the last were the best the middle was a little lame
