For the OP that sparked this fascinating debate, they called the Corpser Battle of the first transmission game, and for good reason. The first half of the game really ramps up the combat.

After shedding blood, sweat and tears to finally reach the third act and face this “several floors high“Monstrosity of death. All you have to do to bring it down is punch it in the belly a few times until the ground beneath it breaks open.

OP had the second and third transmission game much earlier than the first one, so they had high expectations of what it would be like.

To make matters worse, the fight is so fast that you can defeat the Corpser before Wretches appear 30 seconds into the level.

Similar to the encounter with the Corpser, the tension was kept high until the actual fight, where pressing “B” guaranteed that everything would go smoothly.

On the other hand, the fight against RAAM was incredibly difficult and unforgettable, whether played alone or in co-op mode.

This would undoubtedly be an unforgettable battle for many people, especially if they played the game in their youth.

Some players have reached this level in the second Gears of Warwhere to use the Grindlift during Operation: Hollow Storm.

We expected a huge fight, but instead we got the usual clash between Marcus and co. and swarms of Locusts. However, that wouldn’t have been possible with the Xbox 360 hardware at the time.

We would like to know if you have experienced any disappointing moments in the Gears of War franchise. And on the other hand, which ones are the best? Let us know in the comments below!
