Very close at the top though. The top 2 were tied several times.
Anything not mentioned didn't get voted for (obviously).

Bonus Discussion Topics:

Q1: Was this game the pinnacle of the Gears of War series?
Q2. Did you play a lot of Horde Mode?
Q3. Did you play more of this in Single Player... or more on-line Multiplayer?
Q4. Do you have any memories of the Campaign Mode story? Or do you forget everything?
Q5. Marcus Fenix knocked out Revolver Ocelot, Kefka, Tom Nook and Zelos Wilder in Summer 2007 Contest. Astonishing! Would those results repeat if the contest was run again today?

I didnt play much of GoW, but I did fiddle with Horde mode, and in my experience from it went:

Best: Gnasher
Worst: Hammerburst

A1: ehn.
A2: Yeah, basically the only thing I played.
A3: In-person multiplayer.
A4: Something my wife brb chainsaw
A5: Probably not, he's got more of a "who?" factor now, whereas Tom Nook saved March 2020.

Never played a Gears of War game

I've been Playstation pretty much all the way

A 4-way tie on 1 vote, huh?
Can't have that...
I'll be change my vote to Torque Bow which was almost my choice anyway.

What a disappointing turnout. :(
