Gears Of War: Quite Hard

posted by Jaitu at 20:38

TechMaster and I resumed our co-op campaign through Gears Of War on Insane difficulty today. It's been some months since either of us played any GOW and it took a while to re-familiarise ourselves with the controls. I found myself constantly clicking a stick to run a la Bad Company instead of simply pressing the A button. Even after we were back into the swing of things the Insane difficulty level seemed harder than either of us could recall. After spending what seemed like an age trying to complete the split path section in Act 3's Belly Of The Beast we finally picked up a little momentum and made some reasonable progress picking up the final COG Tag to complete another achievement. Then almost immediately reaching the next split path section where one of us battles through courtyards while the other negotiates the first floor hallways of the surrounding buildings and together take on a Seeder. After somewhere in the region of four hours playing and replaying this level we decided to call it a day.
