Yeah, hardcore is probably the same difficulty, but I think that's a mistake considering there's lots of veteran Gears players this time around. They should've made Normal somewhere between Casual and Hardcore and Hardcore somewhere between Hardcore and Insane.
Also, for those having problem with the turret sections: use RB to cool down. Everything became much easier once I discovered that.

I think I said this before, but being shot slows you down, so you can shoot them and slow them down, you still can interupt the chainsaw by hitting them with a solid Shotgun blast, or you can Chainsaw duel them. It's fine if you ask me. At least you're not immune while chainsawing or executing anymore.

Just finished Act 3. This game is still awesome. I can't believe I agonized over whether or not I should get it.

Really simple actually:
you let the column fall and you roll left or right right at the last second, like Dom tells you to...
And I'll have to do it again, but I'd figure that it's Skorge that steered the column your way after cutting it down...

HOLY SHIT HOW DID THEY MAKE THIS GAME SO AWESOME

Fuck the caverns. Gears 1 had beautiful scenery, but this game is just stupid in this aspect.
Ice Caverns.
Flesh Caverns.
Green Rock Caverns.
Dark Cavern.
If for some stupid reason I find a stupid "lava cavern" later I am quitting this campaign for a while. I am really getting bored of the scenery.
I understand the Locust lived underground, but Gears 1 was so much more beautiful.

Umm... the area after the first cave was pretty damn nice looking. There are alot of great looking scenes.

This game is definitely better than 1 in every single way.

No. The first game had better environments for the SP campaign.Lostconfused said:

Finished this yesterday, and while I enjoyed it I didn't like it as much as the original.
The first one had a nice languid pace and a real feeling of desolation and of humanity's last stand against unknowable monsters. The sequel is more of a straight up war against the underground space lizards.
Story wise
It's a bit like the progression from Halo 1 to Halo 2 - the sequel is better in every technical sense, but I think I preferred the atmosphere of the original.

bit disappointing, no real answers just more random enigmatic stuff (although I still think the Locust are the mutated remains of Sera's first human colonists - the Queen seems to point in that direction).

CliffyB, you guys deserve massive amounts of gratitude. GoW2 is SO much better than GoW1, GoW2 is how you make a proper sequel, though the online still needs some work.CliffyB said:Best. Post. Ever.

Finally, I completed the collectionist achievement. That last damn object made me run fucking fast before the gate closed.
I've read the 41 of them, some of them quite useless, and some of them pointing

Well since you're reading, know that your game literally won't allow me to get the proper sleep I need for work. We played since the moment we got home from midnight launch until about 6 am. This is obviously not a time for grown ass men to be awake, so we called it a night after the 6 brutal hours of warzone.
The only problem is (and I should have remembered this after Gears 1) when people are sticking grenades onto others, chainsaws are spraying blood on your screen, and alarms are going off to notify you there's a FUCKING AVALANCHE approaching, your body will not allow you to rest. so from about 6 to 7am I had to let my heart rate come down from about 120bpm to something more acceptable for rem sleep.

I was avoiding this thread like the plague due to spoilers (made that one post because I needed help).
This game is so frickin' awesome.
I've spent the last 4 hours playing against bots and its been a blast. There are a few moments where the AI takes a dive (like when a Marcus bot was prepping that rocket heavy weapon and never got out of the kneeling stance for the rest of the round; good thing he was in that room with lasers surrounding all sides on Security because I won the round that way since the remaining bot couldn't figure out how to get to him :lol).
I can't wait until the 19th when I can get back on Live.

The worm insides was CRAZY. Three damn hearts!? Yuck. I almost couldn't stand it but it was so looked so amazing that I couldn't look away. (I'll stick with majoring in pharmacy though. lol)
And what the hell, man? The Locust queen looks like a human!?

I loved the feeling of sadness of the first Gears. The desolated cities and destroyed architectural magesty. So far, I have only got a glimpse of this in a small area that ended too soon. The hospital level was actually a crappy urban environment in comparison to prior urban environments in Gears 1. After that, it has just been an almost consecutive series of boring looking caverns.

So is it true that now you have to shoot the actual chainsaw to make the other player lower it? I've charged through quite a few people hitting me while still being able to get the kill.CliffyB said:Best. Post. Ever.

Nah, even the caves in GoW2 looks good. At one point, when you're climbing down this long slope, you see this huge underground lake with that yellow stuff and it's stretching out really far. I rarely get "amazed" by games but that shit right there looked great.
I definitely enjoyed the GoW2 SP campaign more than the first. Sure, I'd like to have seen more cities and less caves, but overall the enviroments still looked great. The only area I got bored during was when you've reached the whole Nexus-thing.
The vehicle section wasn't that good though, just like in the first GoW.
The photo upload feature is pretty cool. I didn't even know it was included.

The coop campaign is the most fun I've had ever.
What a stunning profile for Dom
You don't get any experience if you quit out though, I don't believe? What other penalty can you really put in place? Its not as if Epic knows when you "had to" quit and when you were just being a poor sport.
edit: also, signing out of XBL would still suck, because you'd have to set up your party all over again. Still not worth it.

Fucking this.Shins said:
Did Aladuf tell you about his idea for getting further in Blood Drive? Instead of holing up in the spawn room, he thinks we might get further to split our forces between spawn and the little room on the other side of the stairs where the Gorgon is. If we could put down boom shields to block both entrances, it might split up enemy fire between the two groups.

Of course the multiplayer is made a lot better when you are in a party.
