10 Best Campaign Moments From The Gears Of War Trilogy

7. Riding The Brumak (Gears Of War 2)

For those who didn't play the PC version of Gears of War, Brumaks were something of a myth, a legendary enemy that you never encountered, despite seeing on numerous occasions. Brumaks are enormous, ferocious Locust monsters with huge cannons mounted to their backs. They're seen causing devastation in the opening cinematic, and one chases you out of Adam Fenix's mansion at the end of Act 4, but aside from that, you never actually engage with one.

Gears of War 2 changed all that. In an effort to show off the game's expanded scale, Epic Games littered the game with Brumaks - but the craziest moment comes towards the end. Marcus and Dom need a ride to bust into the Locust's underground fortress, so they hijack a pair of Brumaks, allowing you to control the beast and its huge firepower.

Barreling through the caves on the Brumak was such an insane spectacle, Epic Games even ended one of their Gears 2 E3 showings with the revelation. Ever wanted to feel like a completely unstoppable killing machine, rampaging through an enemy base, destroying pillars and mowing down soldiers along the way?

This is that moment.
