I absolutely CAN NOT get past the last chapter on Act 4 where you have to get to the APC. It's pissing me off beyond belief, and to top it all off I have to do all that unblocking the door bullshit just to get the part I can't seem to beat. Any strategies?

Kill the first two boomers then run past everyone else (it triggers a cut scene and you just have to get to the car and do not have to kill any of the bad guys).
 
Anyone up for some co-op? I'm currently at almost the end of Chapter 3 on Insane. I'm going to take a shower and will be back in few to check back.

I just ran and gun without killing anyone with some rolling. Once you hit the back, you hit the cut scene. It only took me two tries. Granted this was on casual... don't know how well it would work on insane.

Don't kill anything. Just run.
 
[quote name='rabbitt']The timer starts when you kill the second boomer, I believe.[/quote]

I think it starts when you walk out the door.

I just shot the 2 boomers with the bow and ran to the right side towards the APC and got it.
 
"Hasn't passed certification"? Well that means it's ready to be tested... and if MS's certification process is as quick as the crap it certifies would indicate... I'd expect DLC pretty damn soon.

And IIRC, the timer started when you get outside the door.

I just played it a couple of days ago, and the timer starts after you kill the second boomer.
 
All I know is every time I tried to kill anyone besides the boomers, I ended up SOAL.

I think I ended up sniping the boomers and running like hell.

he's right. i just played that part again last night with a friend. :cool:
 
[quote name='doraemonkerpal']he's right. i just played that part again last night with a friend. :cool:[/QUOTE]

I think it's a little glitchy, because mine definitely started as soon as I got outside, and I had to RACE (didn't kill or shoot anything) and barely made it with 1-2 seconds left on the timer.
 
Epic already confirmed that the content would be free, so no need to worry about paying any money for it. As for when it will be released, midnight would certainly be awesome.:)
 
[quote name='fraggedbylaggers']If it isnt out tonite their resolution should be to get their shit together and at the very least release a patch.[/quote]I think that Epic is done with the patch, it's just being certified by MS.
 
[quote name='CAG 79']I finally beat the game today on Insane. I must've spent at least two hours trying to kill Raam, that bastard.[/QUOTE]
did you beat hom solo or co-op?
i think hes easier on insane co-op than solo hardcore.
 
[quote name='paz9x']did you beat hom solo or co-op?

I tried doing it by myself but Dom just kept running towards Raam like he had a death wish so I got someone to do co-op with me and we beat him with the torque bow and sniper rifle combination.
 
I beat RAAM on hardcore, by myself. It took me two tries once I realized I didn't have to run to the other end of the train to fuck with the bomb.

Dom is absolutely useless. You must rely on blind firing and your sniper rifle.

Can't wait to fight him on Insane.

Good luck. It took me 3 hours before I finally said fuck it and just used the glitch to beat his ass.

eh, hes hard but the force is strong with me =)
i should only have to move between the concrete barricades once.
beat him with a partner before he even got to the barricade.
 
Anyone else sickened by the influx of literal "n00bs"? I'm fine with the ones who are new to the game, but not the ones who don't wield the power of proper multiplayer etiquette.

Umm, can we change the map to something else.

I mean honestly, how many times did that jackass say that? What a bag of dueche.
 
I'm starting to get sick of the rowdy run shotgun... it takes less skill then the chainsaw... at least with the chainsaw you have to time it perfectly, with the rowdy run you just run at someone with the shotgun and press the R trigger.

It especially sucks when you are trying to pistol whip people down so you can shoot them for pistelero ;)

can we like take out every gun because they are all sooooo cheap! omg they dont take any skill, you just run up and your dead, like every single weapon! gosh!
 
The best counter to a rampant shotgunner(s): sit back and relax, cover 3:00, 6:00, 9:00, and 12:00. Make your position unassailable. It's harder to do online because most people just run around but offline, when you are face-to-face with your opponents and teammates and people actually yell out to one another on WTF is happening around them, playing defensively is the key to winning.
 
Found this awesome info on TheHardcoreGamer.com

[quote name='TheHardcoreGamer.com']I can't believe the Gears of War community is STILL finding shit in this game almost 2 months after it's release, especially since everyone and their brother are playing the hell out of it online. This could've only been better if it was a DOOM Marine. But seriously, what made the dudes at Epic decide to hide a poor CoG taking a dump in a multiplayer map?[/quote]
How to Control Camera When Dead! * Note * This requires certain surcumstances. Minumum 3 players on a team and the other team alive. No host required. Also this hasn't been tested on all maps and not very often so It may not work the first time. I havn't had that problem but then again I only have tryed this a few time.
  1. Now your dead
  2. Make sure you are looking at one of your teammates
  3. Now that teammate you are looking at dies, that is great. Don't do anything. Don't press buttons
  4. Wait untill his body goes away, no touch that camera.
  5. It sould then change camerias.
  6. To move the cameria is hold the back button and the move the anolog sticks.
  7. You can go around the map anyware. See every angle you want.
 
Check out this awesome homemade toy from one of the GoW artists:

oh... that means I'm old news... I'm not on top of all the GoW stuff since I don't lay it dedicatedly.

That was new to me. Pretty interesting, wonder if it locks you up when it does that.

I would have expected it to happen to me as I often change weapons accidently when I'm trying to curb stompt a downed enemy and then the other dude stands up as I'm switching weapons and saws me instead :bomb:

On some good news to people who like the music:

Hey everyone!

First off, thank you all for kind words and compliments on the Gears of War score. I very much appreciate that you took the time to send your thoughts. I am really glad you enjoyed the score.

Ok, the update on the soundtrack, is that it's coming.....soon :) Epic is saying it should be released sometime early in the new year.
I just got done selecting & finalizing all the tracks for them and sent them off. This "Update Email" might be a one time thing as I am not sure how much time I will have in the upcoming weeks to send another one out. I just wanted to let everyone know that it IS in the works and we are doing our best to move it along, to get it out there.

Thank you again, and check the website at times in the weeks ahead to see if I have posted any news about the soundtrack cd.
Stay well, and have a great and healthy Holiday!!

My very best,

-Kevin Riepl

i like watching highlight videos and short clips..but the effin angry white or angry black music just pisses me off. Why do you need the silly music? To be more "gangsta?"

Just give me the video clip minus the annoying music.
 
[quote name='LiquidNight']Is there anyway to see how close we are to an online achievement?[/QUOTE]

You can check the leaderboards though they don't seem completely accurate or up to date. I got my chainsaw achievement tonight and the numbers I have don't add up to 100 (sorry about going nuts with it during the canals game).

How do you check?
 
[quote name='Brak']How do you check?[/quote]

Go into Versus ---> Leaderboards ---> find info for you only and check for Overall Execution, Warzone, Assassin. Add them up and technically you should have your totals but they aren't accurate as others have stated so you'll atleast get an idea.

360 Fanboy reader, Mitochondria, sent in this video of a 5 player team in Gears of War. While there are definitely 5 Locusts in the video, the end of game statistics still only account for 4 players (stop the video between rounds to see for yourself). Also curious, there are only 3 COG players, making the total amount still equal the usual 8. It seems the glitch was uncovered by a last minute team change in the lobby screen. The group fails to recreate the glitch at the end of the video. If this could be consistently recreated in ranked matches, we might just have another bug for Epic to fix.

Has this ever happened to you?
