Gears of War
Level Abstract
DFS Focus
The design focus for this level is to introduce and balance new mechanics into a game that features an
existing set of established mechanics. Bringing mechanics from classic Super Nintendo games like Mega
Man X and Super Metroid into the Gears of War universe creates a unique gameplay experience. The
task of designing this level offers experience and knowledge on gameplay design, which is the area I
wish to pursue in my professional career.
Quick Summary
“COG Man X” is a single player mod created using the Gears of War engine. The level takes place in the
Gears of War universe but is not involved with the main campaign of the game. The player controls test
Subject X: a COG soldier with no memory of who or where he is. He wakes up in an abandoned military
facility where scientists performed genetic experiments on dying soldiers. The scientists tried to find a
way to incorporate advanced Locust genetics in these soldiers. The results made Subject X capable of
absorbing abilities from enemies. Now he must escape the military facility to search for answers about
his past.
Hook(s)
Absorbing enemies’ abilities after killing them


Rocket Shot ability
Kryll Shield ability
Gameplay Highlights
The level merges mechanics from classic Super Nintendo games with Gears of War gameplay to create a
unique experience. The player learns how to use two new abilities to overcome the challenges in the
level. The rocket launcher can destroy broken doors and the Kryll shield makes the player invincible for 5
seconds, but slows down the movement of the player.
New Mechanics
“COG Man X” introduces the mechanic of absorbing abilities from specific enemies.
Rocket Shot: This ability changes the functionality of the COG pistol to shoot rockets that destroy broken
doors. Rocket Shot deals more damage than the regular COG pistol shot but has a longer delay in
between shots. The player learns this ability from JACK at the beginning of the level.
Kryll Shield: The Kryll Shield ability makes the player invulnerable for five seconds but also makes him
move slower. The ability has a cooldown of 5 seconds after using, explained by a custom-made UI scene.
The player learns this ability after defeating the Kryll Boomer.

Description
The main character of this mission is a test subject from a military genetic lab
with no memory of his past. The laboratory attempted to combine Locust
DNA with injured COG soldiers. Because of the experiments, X has the ability
to absorb power from their enemies. The abilities he learns in this mission are
the “Rocket Shot” and the “Kryll Shield”. His default equipment is a COG Pistol
Drones are the most common soldier in the Locust Horde. They are tall and
bulky humanoid type of locust. Drones can operate weapons and have
enough intelligence to hide and take cover whenever in combat. They usually
spawn from emergence holes created in the ground but can also appear from
other spaces. Their equipment in this mission is the Hammerburst Assault
Rifle.
Wretches are small and fast creatures that engage the player in close combat.
They are very primitive creatures that resemble monkeys and apes in
behavior and movement. Wretches see the player and rush towards him.
They do not stop to take cover even if being shot at.
Kryll are a flying type of locust. They only attack in dark areas due to their
photo-sensitivity, and they move fast and always in swarms. There is no way
of killing the Kryll, just to avoid them by standing in well-lit areas.
Boomers are the heavy weapon specialists of the Locust Horde. They are
bigger and stronger than a regular Drone. Boomers behavior in combat is not
intelligent. They do not use cover when being shot at and hardly ever move,
and when they do is in a slow pace. The Boomer specific to this level has the
power to summon Kryll to protect him. His equipment in this mission is the
Boomshot.
A small military utility robot labeled “Jack-of-All-Trades” or just “JACK”. This
specific JACK unit is a security guard, developed to protect the doctors of the
laboratory from possible Locust attacks. The JACK unit reads Subject X as a
possible menace due to the massive amount of Locust cells infused in his
body.

Description
The interior of the genetic lab has an abandoned feel, dark and creepy. The
majority of the lights inside the laboratory no longer work due to the fact that
is abandoned, leaving only a few lights in each room. The decoration consists
mostly of file cabinets, shelves, closets and some destroyed meshes to
reinforce the abandoned feel. The floor consists of old, stained tileable
squares. The walls and ceiling are mostly made of concrete, except in the
smaller rooms that have ripped wallpaper on the walls.
The exterior area has the same dark atmosphere as the interior. It is a little
lighter due to it being an open space with different light sources, but is still
dark. The rain outside is mild, but enough to create small puddles in some
areas and to cause water dripping from the ceiling inside the laboratory.

Level Summary
Campaign
Context
“COG Man X” is part of a multi-level campaign that takes place 5 years before the main storyline of
Gears of War. The campaign, called “Locust Hunter,” has three sequential levels, the first one being
“COG Man X” that introduces the player to the setting and the different mechanics from Gears of War.
In this campaign, the player controls X, a COG soldier that can absorb abilities from their enemies after
defeating them. The first level consists on finding a way out of a laboratory and learning two new
abilities, required to complete the challenges in this level and the ones that follow. The following levels
of the campaign start immediately after finishing the previous one.
Backstory
During the war against the Locust, the COG army developed a secret program to breed a new class of
super soldiers. The army established an underground facility with some of the world’s best scientists.
They believed that they could enhance the common soldiers’ abilities with advanced genetics. Based on
the research of Dr. Aran Light, which explored infusing Locust cells inside human soldiers, the
experiments began. The facility had ten specimens, all injured COG soldiers. Nine of the test subjects
died after the first infusion of Locust cells, but the tenth subject survived not only one but three more
infusions. After the last infusion, Subject X entered a coma, but before the doctors could help him, the
Locust found the secret facility and exterminated the entire crew, leaving Subject X for dead, lying on
the surgery table.
Aftermath
After escaping the laboratory, X continues in his quest to find answers about his past. His next challenge
is “Vile Brumak” the second level of the campaign “Locust Hunter” where he needs to defeat a
genetically altered Brumak. After the battle with the Brumak, X continues to absorb abilities from
powerful Locust enemies in order to survive and reach a COG military base for answers.
