room. It has lots of books and a desk. Destroy the desk. The tag
is under it.

to the roof of the train.

There is a storage corridor to your left on the same car. You
must go around to the left and into the storage room. The final
tag is at the end of the corridor. Make sure to get the tag before
you enter the next door.

Get your lancer out and shoot as many bullets as you want, then get a perfect reload abd press RT + B at the same time.
Keep hold of them and when you walk up to someone it just blows them up. Then move your right analog stick forwards and you should be able to do the moonwalk.

You all know General RAAM right? If your only on act 2 or trying to get past the berserker in act 1, RAAM is the locust you killed Kim with that sweet sword. Now to own him easy, let Dom do most of the work...ok stop laughing...seriously!...stop it!...DON'T MAKE ME GET THE BAT!!! Ok now your done. ok the kryll (black bats surrounding RAAM)are the only thing stoping you from owning him as easy as a boomer. Let Dom shoot him until the kryll leave. Then unload perfect reload clips of your COG chainsaw lancer (cuz its very fast) until the kryll come back. Keep doing that and RAAM will die before he can get halfway between where he starts and where you start. This works best on Casual, but also works on Hardcore. I'm not the best so I haven't finished Insane yet. Well I hope this helps you.

My favorite gun is the guns that the snipers use in the beginning of chapter 5. (you can get it other places like the beginning of chapter 4 and throughout chapter 3). This is my favorite gun because it kills ALL enemys in 1 shot. (except berserkers, boomers, seeders, and obviously, RAAM). It also has a scope on it so you can get a headshot easy (you don't really need to do that though, not even on Theron Guards). The only bad things are its single shots and its limited ammo. THAT is why its my favorite gun!

Play co-op and have both people get a torque bow. use all your ammo on him. (at least 6 each). then one of you frag tag him and he will die.

Look for a red Sign (gear of war sign Skull and bolt shape outside) There is a Cog Tag near your posistion

When you are curb stomping press A and X at the same time and then hold back.
Then while you are doing the actual stomping you will float backwards.

This glitch only works in Warzone online when the enemy is down and at least one of your teammates alive.
First get any enemy down and make sure you have your lancer. Tell your team mate to get his pistol out.
Once you start to chainsaw the downed enemy, your teammate has to melee him twice as you chainsaw (shooting him twice works too).
This will not kill him but as you walk back the downed body will follow you.

COG tags are placed throughout all 5 acts in Gears of War and if your trying to get the achievements than this may help. Ever see a red gear sign on the wall? And did you ever think that Microsoft put it in there to make the level cooler? Well, your wrong! That gear sign means that there is a COG tag nearby.

When you encounter a beserker (except the last one on the train) use the hammer of dawn, make it glow red and frag tag it, killing it instantly. Founded by OUTLAW V or OUTLAW 408 on xbox live

When you are running low on ammo one of the best ways to kill your average Locust grub is to get up close and personal with your chainsaw and chop it in half. This also work over walls and cover. Run up them, by hold A, while they are reloading and get on the opposite side of the cover, press and hold B to activate your chainsaw and thats one less locust to worry about.

If on co-op one person use the bow to shoot him, all his birds will just go crazy but not hurt you. The other person shoots him with the Gauntlet gun When the bids get off RAAM.
(do it a couple of times)

Hint: Quick Reload
When reloading your weapon, watch the upper-right corner of the screen for a meter that counts down. Press the reload button a second time when the meter's moving bar matches up with the stationary bar. This will give you a super fast reload and put you back in the fight quicker than normal. However, if you mis-time the second button press your reload will take longer than normal.
Hint: Avoiding the Kryll
In the second chapter of the game, you'll be swarmed by enemy kryll if you so much as set foot in the dark. To avoid being attacked, stay in the light at all times. When there's no light in sight, look for propane canisters you can blow up to create some flames that'll scare off the kryll.
Hint: Regain Health
Unlike most games, you can regain all of your health in Gears of War without the need for health packs. Simple stay in cover for a few seconds and watch as the bright-red gear in the center of the screen fades away. When the gear has comlpetely disappears, your health will be completely full.
Hint: Fighting the Wretches
When fighting wretches--the small, shrieking enemies that don't use weapons--attack with melee strikes. The best melee strikes come from weapons other than your grenades and Lancer chainsaw rifle. The chainsaw attack is too slow to combat the swarming wretches, so stick to quick-hit melee punches for instant kills.
Hint: Finding Cog Tags
There are thirty hidden Cog Tags scattered throughout the game. They're small and sometimes hard to find, but there's a a mark you can look out for that'll make finding the Cog Tags easier. Look for large, red Gear logos pasted on the walls--if you find a room with this large Gear logo, examine the room and you're sure to find a Cog Tag somewhere.
Hint - Berserker Beat Down (Then Beat Yourself Down)
To defeat the Beserker at the end of act one, simply dive to the side when she charges at you. Run through the doorway to your right and continue to the door at the end of the room and face your back to it. Get the Berserkers attention by shooting at her or revving the chainsaw then, dive away at the last moment when she charges causing her to break the door down for you.

Continue this to get through the next two doors. When you finally lure her into the courtyard simply use the Hammer of Dawn twice to take her down. If Dom is killed the mission is over, so revive him if he's knocked down.

The second one in Act 4 is defeated similarly. Defeating the second berserker. There are six stone supports for the second part of the greenhouse. Lead the berserker through the six supports, you will see glass dropping from the ceiling. Once all six supports have been taken out, two shots with the Hammer of Dawn will crisp her.

when your on act 5 on the train if you can get far enough and find the 3rd most annoying berserker after he knocks down the crate go try and avoid him and check the pile zoom in and youll see that its actually boxes of cereal called gears crunch.
