Gears 2

Gears 2 is the must-have game for 2008, and while it will arrive creaking under the weight of its own hype, all the evidence is there to suggest that the excitement surrounding this game is completely justified.
The team at Epic won’t just meet the lofty expectations of the game’s fanbase; it’ll sail past them like a ski jumper.
According to Bleszinski, the overall mood Epic was aiming for with Gears of War 2 was "epic and intimate". While this may seem like a contradiction in terms, Gears 2 boasts some of the best world-building and most breathtaking visuals of any game released this year.

gears of war tip

People just bull rush each other with shotguns. To counter this, hide somewhere with a lancer equipped.When you see an enemy bull rushing around, fire fully automatic at them, when they get too close, roll backwards and pull out your shotgun. Then kill them.
2.Use smoke grenades if you have suppresive fire on your position, find new cover where you are not visible at all. When they come looking for you, unload a lancer clip on them.
3.When someone gets too close, shoot as many shotgun shells at them as possible.
4.If you are the last person left on your team, find a high up covering fire position with a sniper rifle(if possible) and pick one enemy off. Once you kill one, find another covering position and repeat.(if you rush into fight a whole 4-man enemy team, you will die within seconds)

Corpser Corpse

Gears of War Hint - Corpser Corpse
When you are pitted against the Corpser in the Act 3 mines, there's a quick way to win. The Lancer's (chainsaw rifle) constant stream of fire makes it the weapon of choice here. Shoot at the belly of the Corpser, working any angle you can between its legs.
If you hit the belly a few times, it will lift it's front legs and expose it's face. Immediately fire up at it's face and chin. It will shriek and move back.
Hurry, move up grab ammo and repeat. If you don't move fast enough wretches will arrive in waves and make things ten times harder. You must hit the Corpser's face three times.
You'll back it up onto a platform with two destructable joints. They're lit up and on the ground. Shoot them both and the Corpser will plunge into the Imulsion liquid. If you're quick enough you can kill the corpser before any wretches arrive.

Gears of War Hint

Gears of War Hint - Cluster Kill Achievement
To get the achievement killing three enemies at once ten times, go to the stage Act 3 - Evolution and locate the area of the Imulsion plant where the guy gets killed when he falls through the rotten wood floor.
Take along at least one grenade and simply follow the dead guy down a hole (or any hole, if you step in the wrong spot). Run around the cellar until you think you have enough enemies following (meaning at least three running after you), tag one with a grenade melee attack.
If you die, that's perfect, since you restart right at the checkpoint of that room and do it again. Achievement progress are independent of game progress. If not, reload the checkpoint and do it again.
Gears of War Hint - Animation Exploitation
When playing multiplayer on Xbox Live, you may notice when you are using the chainsaw or curb stomping that you cannot be hurt.
In fact, during a curb stomp you can reload your gun. since you cannot take damage while you are stomping someones face this is a very good time to reload, come out of your animation and continue battle.
