Gears of War was remastered by The Coalition as the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and released on Xbox One in August 2015 and PC in March 2016. The game also had a host-based online competitive multiplayer component. Marcus Fenix, along with Delta Squad, must deploy a Lightmass bomb underground in an attempt to destroy the Locust forces. The story begins just 14 days after Emergence Day, in which the Locust horde began pouring onto the surface from underground. The first game in the series helped to popularize third person cover-based gameplay. In Gears 2, Jack was outfitted with a small screen that Anya could use to talk to Delta. Whenever Delta Squad needs to open a door that they can't kick open, they call on Jack for assistance. Jack is a flying robot capable of turning itself invisible so it doesn't get shot during fights. He gives orders to Marcus' squad throughout both games.
