Gears of Waris undeniably an iconic video game series. After the first four games developed by Epic Games, The Coalition came on board and remade the original title.
The new title, which had the Ultimate Edition prefix and a fresh coat of pain, also made some minute changes to the lore. A fan recently posted on the game’s subreddit, which led to a discussion about a dreaded character’s arc.
Lieutenant Minh’s Death in Gears of War 2006
Lt. Minh was a character that many players disliked in the original game, but despite being a lieutenant, he is supposed to be a higher-up among the Delta squad.

However, his death in the originalGears of War(2006)didn’t paint a competent picture of him. The Lieutenant was seen being incredibly careless, issuing redundant orders and then getting killed by the hands of General Uzil RAAM of the Locust Army.
However, this scene wasaltered in theUltimate Edition, a total remake of the original game from 2006. A fan recently posted on theGears of Warsubreddit regarding the alteration, and this is what he said:
The original scene, as described correctly by the Redditor, made Lieutenant Minh Young Kim’s death appear much more gruesome. RAAM also appeared much more fierce and horrifying in his actions than in theUltimate Edition.
However, another community member highlighted why the change was not a downgrade, making Lieutenant Minh appear much more competent than the original.
Lieutenant Minh’s Death in Gear of War Ultimate Edition Feels More Natural
As stated, Lieutenant Minh was supposed to be the squad leader before he was killed in action. By definition, his commands and orders are supposed to be much more pragmatic and sensible than the ones shown in 2006’sGears of War.

In theUltimate Edition,however, not only does the Lieutenant not issue unnecessary commands, but his reaction after seeing RAAM is much more coherent with his character profile.
This was also stated by a community member part of the game’s subreddit:
It is also worth noting that it feels like the fans agree with the way Minh faced his demise, going down as a hero and not appearing weak and helpless:
One cannot discount the fact that the originalGears of Wardid a much better job at the gameplay mechanics despite being almost a decade older in comparison.
Despite theincredibly dull driving missions in the gamesthat began with the first installment, it still laid the foundation for an epic trilogy. However, despiteThe Coalition’sattempt at reviving the series, it fell off with judgment.
However, it seems likeGears of War: E-Day’srelease might put the series back on track as it will be set 14 years before the first title. Are you excited aboutE-Day’srelease? Let us know in the comments below!
