Golden Rule of the Gears

Anthony Carmine failed to follow the Golden rule.

"My (Tac-Com) says 'teach the rook the Golden Rule'."
"Oh, I know. 'Do unto others as you would have-' "
"Not out here kid. The Golden Rule of the Gears is: Take cover or die."

—Marcus Fenix and Benjamin Carmine.

The Golden rule of the Gears was a term that the Gears of the COG Army practice in military situations. It was a simple rule on combat that you must take cover or die.

Behind the scenes

• The idea of using cover came from the development team playing and viewing Kill.switch.
