But it did lack so much back story to the characters. Hell, for all we know, Epic could release a prequel of sorts.

"Gears: Pendulum Wars"

If you think about it. Why would they mention that part of the war if it already happened? I don't think we even hit the tip of the iceburg with this game.

Also, for the person who asked about Marcus's trial...

Spoilers

Apparently he abandoned his post long ago when he recieved a distress call from his father. Not only did his dad die, but he was also sent to prison for going AWOL. Not sure how his trial was botched though.
