So...anyone played Gears of War yet?

    Completed it yesterday. Played about half of the game in co-op, did the other half on my own. There were seriously bits where I just had to take 10 minute breaks and go around and look at stuff. So gorgeous. Started playing it on Insane yesterday, not as hard as I imagined actually.

    Played some MP too, although I got really owned a lot in the beginning. It's fairly hard since people play extremely aggressively, and you cant really depend on outsmarting guys with tactics when they're storming into your face with shotguns blazing :G

    Multiplayer absolutely kicks ass. Sadly I was on a server where we seemed to be having real problems with the mics - nobody acknowledged they could hear me, yet I could hear other people saying "Hello, can you hear me?" quite a few times, so god knows what was going on there. Despite the lack of communication though it was great fun. It's great to see one of these games actually retain the hugging cover feature in multiplayer since the ubi games tend to remove it.

    It's a known bug, happens to everyone sadly. Join a game after it's begun and no-one will be able to hear you. And the lack of Halo 2's party system to this and there lies the (small) problem with multiplayer.

    Of course, co-op and versus in this are absolutely phenomenal, so it's easy to overlook minor bugs and missed chances.

    PLays great on a plasma...plays great on an LCD (graphics wise anyway...)

    We have a 42" LCD...not latest tech but still looks amazing. One of my friends plays it in his office on split screen co-op a lot and loves...and he's only playing on a 30" LCD computer monitor.

    I'm stuck at RAAM, and I'm playing alone on hardcore D:

    ::SLIGHT SPOILER::

    Its really weird, lots of people I've talked with had lots of problems with RAAM even in co-op, I took him down in my second go alone, on hardcore (Dont wanna sound cocky, but thats what happend). I just dodges around him to get to the chain gun, then I just waited for the kryll to get the fuck off him and then I unloaded on him and got him just before I died. Strange thing is that I didn't get the achievement for taking RAAM down, so I went back and killed him with the conventional weapons, which was a lot harder than the chain gun

    Anyway, thats the easy way

    hm, yeah I just gotta hammer on it some more :/

    I tried a few times getting to the chaingun but i keep dying out of nowhere, not sure whether I'm being shot by him, the chopper things or getting hit by kryll. Anyway haven't been able to play for a couple days :/

    The problem me and my friend had the first time was, he got bugged and would not move so the crawl stayed on him preventing us from doing any damage. Lame bugged out Crawl, either or, wish we could have fought that big gunner beast.

    My friend rented it a few days ago and we played Coop and... Whoa! How awesome is this game! It's so simple but so awesomely super addictive cool omg wow like type stuff.
