Line 541:
** The Carmine family name, via the introduction of Clayton in ''Gears of War 3''.
** JACK gets upgraded to be helpful in combat late in the third game.
* [[Trope Codifier]]: ''Gears of War'' didn't invent cover-based shooters (that honor goes to the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] games ''Kill.Switch'' and ''Win Back''), but it unquestionly took the gameplay mechanic from the realm of obscure Japanese widget to mainstream Hollywood blockbuster.
* [[True Companions]]: This is ''[[Band of Brothers]]: The Game''. In fact, the tagline for ''Gears of War 3'' is "Brothers to '''The End'''". In the [[Expanded Universe]], the enitre COG army is pretty much this both before and after Emergence Day. If you are a Gear, you know you can always count on every single other Gear to have your back, no matter what, even if they don't like you. Since the army is so small after Emergence Day, a large majority of Gears know every other Gear still alive.
* [[Uncle Tomfoolery]]: ''ALL ABOARD THE COLE TRAIN, BABY!''. Cole is the [[Expy]] of Terry Tate, Office Linebacker, except with a very big gun. Aside from the flamboyant, boisterous actions of Cole (the "Cole Train" multiplayer skin in ''Gears of War 3'' being the prime example), all other blacks, such as Jace, are written very 21st century.
