I like this a lot. Transition from Gears 1 through 3. Although, Mad World keeps the tittle as best Gears 3 trailer ever produced.

For me, it will always be "Rendezvous".

@Veteran Gear Rendezvous is my favorite. I like gears 1's campaign much more though.

The only thing I know for sure about Gears 1 campaign is that after I killed Rom I wanted some Pea-soup

Awesome trailer as always! Gears of War trailers might be my favorite, especially the Mad World one.

What a great trailer, it shows all 3 games in a little over a minute. First you see RAAM point "it was you", then you can see Dom with no beard, in comes the water they flooded the hallows with from Gears 2, then you see the new lambent creatures, Marcus new attire, Dom with beard, Anya all from Gears 3. Awesome. So pumped for Gears 3.

These trailers are so beautifully done. It amazes me just how much emotion they put behind these trailers. At no point do they make these characters out to be these badass, nothing can touch us, we are gonna wreck everything, super soldiers. They seem to bring the characters down to a more personal and emotional level. They look tired, they look desperate, they look like they are doing everything possible to just live for one more breath...and even then sometimes they look like they've given up hope (Marcus at the end of Mad World trailer, Dom at the middle of Ashes to Ashes trailer).

That was good, but I like that Gamestop spot where they auto-tune their voices to make a song.

It's a great trailer and everything but why do they always play emo music in their trailers? lol

I won't be happy until I can face the new Hordes. And then...I'll rest.
