Boomer is not a new enemy for Gears of War 2, but the Boomer does have some new variations. The normal Boomer still uses a Boomshot, still says Boom before attacking, and still will kill you with one shot on most difficulty levels, so take cover!
The Grinder uses a chaingun and has a square helmet. The Grinder isn't going to kill you in one shot, but he is very though and can still kill you quickly. You're usually best off dealing with him at long to medium range with heavy weapons.
Flamer Boomers are basically the same as Flamer Drones but bigger and tougher. Like the Flamer Drones they can be killed quickly if you manage to puncture the fuel tank on their back.
Maulers use a big flail which has an AOE attack and they also have a shield to protect them from gunfire. You can use grenades against them or you can spread out your squad in order to flank them. Just don't get too close because getting hit with the flail means lights out.
Another melee Boomer is the Butcher. He has a big cleaver. These guys are actually pretty easy to deal with. Just pour fire into him and he will go down, and he is too slow to catch up to you.
