Become a Spartan (Halo)

Spartans are genetically enhanced and equipped with the most advanced powered armor ever created, making them individually the most capable combatants in human history.
Being a Spartan means being humanity's finest weapon—a person of extraordinary capability—not just a replaceable component in a larger machine.
Spartans operate on a civilizational scale, traveling through space and fighting threats that would end humanity without them.

Become a Cog (Gears of War)

COG soldiers carry weapons unlike anything Spartans use, including a standard-issue assault rifle with a built-in working chainsaw.
The Gears universe offers a grittier, more emotionally grounded kind of heroism for those who prefer depth over superhuman power.
As a COG, you fight as humanity's last line against extinction on your own world, which carries its own profound sense of purpose.
