I don't know if this works for everyone or just me, but it's worth a go. On Insane, you only have half the health you should have, so you die twice as quick. However, if you run towards a Locust and manage to cut them apart with the Lancer, during the brief moment you're turning them into mincemeat, although you take damage, you're actually invincible. I figured this out when I cut up a Theron and got shot by a Torquebow at the same time. This is dead useful on Insane, but woks anywhere else. Have fun.

On act 4 you will have to battle a force of locust. the locust attack from out side and you defend the house from inside. after some time the locust will break in. be aware of inside and outside of the house, beacause once the locust break in dom will say "boomer" they attack from outside so kill them before they get in to the house.

Boomers have rocket launchers and can usually kill you in one hit. In order to kill them safely, take cover and wait until they shoot at you before you start shooting back. Just as they start reloading is the best time to shoot them, because their gun has a very slow reload. After they reload, hide again and let them fire. Repeat this a few times to kill them.

In the final level, you first need to get the Berserker's attention. Berserkers are blind. They only go off smell and sound. Lead her all the way back to the very first train car. While she is still on it, quickly run off and press the button to release the car. Have fun watching the train car collapse and have the Berserker go with it.

When playing campaign mode, look for the dead soldier symbol (red gear with skull inside) painted on a wall, floor, or other location. This indicates that the Locust have killed some Gear soldiers in the area. Because Gear soldiers wear C.O.G. Tags, you should be able to find one nearby.

When an emergence hole opens up, toss a grenade into it. This will automatically close the hole, and therefore keep the Locusts from coming out.

In order to reload, press RB. There will now be a clear bar with a small white segment somewhere along it. It will appear where your bullets used to be. There will also be a smaller white bar moving across the clear bar. As soon as the white bare gets inside the white segment, press RB again. This will make you reload much faster, and if timed just perfectly can give your gun an extra boost in fire power. However if you do not time it correctly, the clear bar will become red and it will take even longer to reload than if you had not attempted it.

After you cross the river to checkpoint 1 the place will go dark and the kryll will kill you. you have to shoot propane tanks in order to get to the "stranded's" vehicle. you will come to a part were you will be on a hill and there will be a troika at the bottom of the hill. there is no tank so you will have to run down the hill and avoid taking cover as this will atrract kryll. there are other places where this is needed so be aware

On act 4 a beserker will appear in a conservatory. you have the hammer of dawn inside the conservatory, but to use the hammer of dawn you will need:

- An open sky (not for indoor use)
- online satilite (left offline when not in use)

Since you are in a conservetory you will have a glass roof over you, but when the berserker breaks through the wall he will run into a diffrent location. above that position the glass roof is smashed, hencefoward it is not there. lure him there and use it. use it quick beacause the sound will attract him towards you, so if he moves out of position, evade roll away from him and lure him back. once you hit him he will stop there until the beam stops. you will know once he is injured beacause his skin will go a slight red colour all over him.

Once you have killed the corpser you will meet up with baird and cole. as you go closer to the station you see a sign (point of view)it will say: "torque bow" take it as it will become of good use. you go up a hill and you see the station. as you walk along dom hears a sound that sounds like something is saying "hostiles". actualy it is a theron guard. the theron guards are bigger than normal drones. they will have your kind of weapons (including the torque bow). the torque bow is a weapon that can hit targets from about 5 meters at the least, and if held long enough it will stick in the enemy`s body then explode. the reason why you should use the torque bow is beacause once you kill them you can take their ammo. the odd one or two will have the machine gun with chainsaw bayonet so watch out for them.

On act one you go through this big building called the house of sorings. You have to go through that and help save alpha squad. The alpha squad are being held down by troika. When you rescue alpha squad luitenant kim gets murded by the locust leader. then you advance in to the tomb. You hear the growl of a berserker and luitenant carmine runs directly in to it and since it happens round a corner you dont see him being smashed into pieces. You only see blood. You take a hammer of dawn with you. you and dom go to this place while cole and baird stay back. You walk into this hallway and the berserker shows himself. Take cover. when thr berserker comes running you have to take cover. Then you have to run into this room. There will be a door that the berserker can smash through. Lure her to run at the door by standing in front of the door. When she charges at you wait until she is close to you, then roll sideways, so she dosent hit you. Then go away from the berserker (the way you came in from) and wait for her to charge at you. When she does do another sideways roll and run through the broken door (the one that the berserker smashed.) There will be two more rooms where this stratergy is highly needed. when you lure her out shoot her to death with the hammer of dawn.

Its better to be dom rather than marcus fenix. With dom you dont get shot at as much and when you are downed you dont die instantly.

At the start of the pale horse level you will find a lancer and a sniper, i did RAAM easiest with a torque bow and a lancer.

To defeat general RAAM simply order dom to attack, this will provide a distraction then when he fires at dom fire the torque bow at him so the kryll around him will scatter and that gives you a chance to shoot him with your lancer or your other weapon of choice. keep dom alive and stay in the light or the kryll will kill you.

Drone- All Drones have a burst-fire weapon and announce when they must reload. The best thing to use against all drones is thte "Gnasher Shotgun" listen for them to say they need to reload, roadie run over to them, and introduce him to your friend.

Grenadiers- Grenadiers lack common sense. They carry around a few frag grenades and a shotgun. Thinking they are so "powerful" they run over to you, ran back and since the shotgun can is most effective at a length the 3 meters, will produce minimal damage. Waste about a clip or so on their legs, and curb stomp them.

Theron Guards- These Locust know what they're doing. Carrying a Torque Bow , Theron Guards are very dangerous. Depending on what difficulty setting you are palying on, a Torque bow can kill you in 3 or 2 shots on Casual 2 or 1 on Hardcore, and 1 on Insane. 3 weapons proved most useful to me while playing the game on Insane.

1. The Lancer- When Theron Guards run over to you, cover slip and shred them to pieces, or, though powerful, Theron Guards also surrender to being shot in the legs. And, then you curb-stomp them.

2. The Gnasher- This shotgun comes in handy, it is useful for dropping human-sized Locust to their knees as well, including Theron Guards. The Gnasher can also kill Locust very fast, shot in the knees or not.

3. The Torque Bow- Give 'em a taste of their own medicine. Charge the bow up in blindfire mode, and before shot, slip out of cover and shoot your target. Theron Guards are all powerful and mighty until they get an exploding arrow jammed into their stomach.

Boomers- Are and VERY powerful. On the bright side, they're stupidity is their weakness, along with their strong build. Their build makes them walk a bit faster than a snail, and are vulnerable after shooting. Boomers don't get their name out of random. They actually do carry a rocket-launcher that proves very powerful on every difficulty. You will know a Boomer is in your presence when and about to fire when you hear a big voice say, "BOOM." If you hear this, get out of your current cover and move somewhere away from it. If a Boomer gets to close, which they will, though big a dumb, they are bloodthirsty, and will walk towards you and fire until you are blown into pieces. If one gets to close, it's THE END, they will walk around your cover, and force you to go somewhere else, but before that they will shoot you and you will either be severely injured or dead. The best way to kill them is after you have seen a big rocket fly past your head, get out of cover, and let loose a whole round of Lancer on them. Rinse and Repeat.

NOTE: You can also blind fire a grenade, this proves very handy as well.

Reavers- Thought you only encounter these in Act 5 [DESPERATION] they are annoying pests. On top of them are to Drones, one with a a Torque bow or other gun, and the other riding it, they will also do whatever it takes until you are dead. In Act 5 you are on a train, so with windows, when the Reavers pop up, run, and get to the nearest cover you can find, from here, blindfire the Drone riding it, and the Reaver will fall.

Berserkers- Berserkers aren't necessarily "dumb" they just have some disabilities. Berserkers are blind, and can easily sense you behind cover ot not with hearing and smelling. When they rat you out, get ready to roll. They will charge with great speed and kill you instantly on every difficulty! There is only one thing that kills them, the Hammer of Dawn. GOW gives hints as to when a Berserker will pop up after the first one, with a lot of Hammer of Dawns lieing around, take one, trust me, you'll need it. Two things that GOW challenges you with in Berserker encounters are for the Hammer of Dawn.

1. Open sky. [Outside]
2. Satellite coverage. [Anya's Job]

The coverage is easy, Marcus will contact control and inform them, and she will grant him the coverage. Open sky is a bit trickier, you will need follow the game until it leads you to an outside location. Act 4 it is in the 2nd or 3rd room in the Conservatory, where windows are broken.

General RAAM- RAAM is the strongest force Marcus and Dom will ever encounter in the game. Luckily there is only one. In Casual and Hardcore, RAAM is easy. In the preparation room, before fighting RAAM, take the torque bow hidden on the right side of the train behind a couple of wires. Get 660 [max] ammo for your Lancer, and proceed. RAAM has a protective shield formed by Kryll and a Troika as a weapon and is semi-fast, too, oh goody. Luckily, you are at the opposite sides of the cart as one another, but not or long. He will charge straight at you and Dom, blindfire charge the bow, get out of cover and fire, his Kryll shield will scatter, switch to your Lancer and fire a whole clip on him. Take cover once his kryll are back, and repeat. After you inflict enough damage, he will mumble something and his Kryll will come swarming at you, just stay in well-lit cover and you will be fine.

Now, on Insane, this is where it gets extremely hard. This time RAAM has a total of 7,000 health, and is one tough cookie. His troika turret will take you out in 3 or 4 shots. Just try doing the same thing, and with luck, you'll be fine.

Enjoy these little tricks and you'll make it just fine.

On act 1 fork in the road when you get to the end of the split there is a piano shoot it and it plays notes.

They look big and bad but they are really easy all you have to do is stick them and boom dead but if you hear them shout BOOM! look out they are going to shoot also another way to kill them is by shooting then with the bow.

On the last level where you fight the "boss" (RAAM) take out your Coalitioin gun (the machine gun with the saw at the bottom) and fire at his head. Keep doing this till he comes closer. When he gets like 5 feet to you run to the front of the train. Ahead there is a driodka gun (machine gun), but be careful. Make sure he hasnt set the kryl on you cause its dark over there. Also, when you use the driodka, two... ( i dont know what 2 call them) those flyings things with 2 guys on them (hahaha) come form the sides.

Everyone understands that when a new person plays gears of war they think " yay i have a chainsaw everyone shall die by my chainsaw" .This is to every "nube" out ther ...... PLEASE DONT USE THE CHAINSAW ALL THE TIME. The reason for this is that you will get pounded with comments.

Happy Gaming

There are thirty hidden cog tags scattered throughout the game. The are small and sometimes hard to find but theres a mark you can look out for that will make finding the cog tags easier. Look for large, red gear logos pasted on the walls- if you find a room with a large gear logo, examine the room and your sure to find a cog tag somewhere around that room.

I have something to say about the players on Xbox Live that stay with the Lancer and use the Chainsaw bayonet all the time. To take from RossBee: "yay i have a chainsaw everyone shall die by my chainsaw". Please do not becaome one of these players. Yes, using the chainsaw is great if you manage to sneak up behind someone, but crap if you want to kill someone half the level away. If you are revving the Chainsaw and get shot, even once, you will lower it, making it impossible to kill someone. You will get killed very easily. Trust me. =)

When facing a boomer its not hard to tel you need to duck in cover wait until he fire his rocket. When he reloads simply run up to him with a grenade armed and hit your b button to stick it on him.

(Defeat a Berserker on Hardcore Difficulty)

You will find the first Berserker in the final chapter of Act 1. You'll need to lure her to the doors and immediately jump out of the way as soon as she starts charging towards you. It is easier to do this on Co-Op since the other player can revive you easily if ever you get knocked down.

Repeat until the process until you lead her to the open area outside. In co-op, decide who's the bait and who's gonna fire the Hammer of Dawn. Its better to lure the Berserker in a wall or in the fountain so that you can get a clean shot from the HoD. Also remember that it takes a few seconds to fully lock on the target and releasing the laser.

(Defeat a Corpser on Hardcore Difficulty)

The Corpser will be the boss in the final chapter of Act 3. The pattern is simple. Stand near it and wait for it to raise its lets. This will expose its soft underbelly so release a few rounds to deal damage. It will then cover its belly using its legs. Repeat this process until the Corpser is pushed back to the platform by the lava. Once there, immediately shoot the clamps holding the platform in place. This will defeat the corpser and you'll get the achievement.

On Act 5, when you are on the train and press the very first button you see, the berserker will magically appear. It will be expressed through a cut scene where it busts through a couple of box, and a lot of objects "explode" from these boxes.

If you manage to make it around the berserker, go to the very last car on the train, (the one the berserker appears on,) You will find a cereal box, I believe to be called "Gears Crunch." On the backside of these boxes, there is a fictional prize you could win (which happens to be a small fluffy pillow!)
