Gears of War 2 Hints

If you want to beat the game on Insane Difficulty but are having trouble, try the following. Start each chapter on Casual Difficulty after having unlocked Insane Difficulty. Then, before reaching the final checkpoint on any given chapter, switch the difficulty over from Casual to Insane. Then, finish the chapter. The game will record that you’ve completed that particular chapter on Insane Difficulty, even though you played a vast majority of the chapter on Casual Difficulty.

On insane Go to the level where you first meet Dizzy on the rig. whwn the level begins go to the edge of the rig in the back facing the barn. look for a cow boy hat and shoot it with your pistol.( HAS TO BE A PISTOL) Marcus should say "That's one" then go to the opposite side ther should be water tank like things look for the second cowboy hat. shoot it with the pistol .( HAS TO BE A PISTOL) he should "That's two". finally look for the last hat close by the last water tank looking thing shoot it WITH THE PISOL" marcus and the entire crew onboard should have cowboy hats and marcus should say"Yehaaaaw" continue to the corpser that comes out of the ground. he doesn't attack but he has a cow boy hat and says yehaaw.

Ok well I'm not really sure how it happened but when your in the Hollow and your about to go up the towner with the patrol on the side. The one where Marcus is saying "Anyone need sniper practice". Well at one point Carmine might try to jump over the rockworm and instead of getting over it he's on top off it! And when the worm goes in to his cave instead of Carmine getting pushed off he will go inside the cave with him! But you havn't lost him forever, later when you reach the top and then the cheackpoint happens he will spawn infront of you

If you see a boom sheild whack it and quickly pick it up and change your gun at the same time to use that gun whith the boomsheild.

In Chapter 4, Section 5, before you descend the staircase from the room with the two ammo boxes, there will be a large container. Shoot or hit it open to reveal a toaster with two pieces of bread in it. Press X and Marcus will pull the toaster and the pieces of toast will go in. Wait a few seconds and black smoke will arise from the toaster, then the toast will pop back out and triggers a hilarious moment with Marcus and Dom

[After toast pops up]

Marcus: WHO WANTS TOAST!?

Dom: I like em crispy!

Marcus: I like em crispy on the outside...

Dom: HELL YEAH!


(Note: Sometimes the second half dialogue will not be spoken if Marcus is aiming his weapon or is moving around. So be still and do not aim your weapon for your best chance to hear the whole dialogue.)
