COG Tag

From Gears of War

The COG Tag is a neck chain worn by the Gear soldiers of the Coalition of Ordered Governments.

They are used in post mortem situations for Gears to identify fallen Gears in battlefield situations, as personal identity information is engraved on each COG Tag. It has been said that a family of a deceased Gear will pay substantial money to have the COG Tag of a fallen loved one recovered.

The COG Tag is the Gears of War-era Dog Tag, and is a variation of the name.

[edit] Collect The 30 COG Tags

There are 30 COG Tags scattered throughout the campaign. The more you find, the more points you'll earn. Although many of them are located off the beaten path, every one of them has a corresponding Crimson Omen in the vicinity. Keep your eyes peeled for the spray painted Crimson Omen insignia, as that is your surefire clue that there is a Tag nearby. Some of the Tags are on the floor directly near the Omen, whereas others are less obvious.

If you have obtained 10 COG tags in Gears of War, you will unlock Minh Young Kim as a playable character in the Gears of War 2 Multiplayer.
