I just finished Gears of War 2.

Sorry Munkeh! Gotta give credit where credit is due!!

And I haven't died from combat yet! Like I said, I'm playing on normal. My AI partners are surviving full on onslaughts from Troika cannons, and I got hit by direct shots from the Torque Bow and the Boomer's Rocket Launcher and walked away. I REALLY need to ramp up the challenge. I just figured Gears 2 would be a much tougher game when I started. Only things like drowning or missing too many enemies in an "on rails" scene have killed me.

How do you manage to survive torque bows? Isn't that the whole point of them?!?!?!

Anyway, I saw an interview with cliffy saying that on casual you can play the game without cover or roadie run, which I just think is entirely pointless. Hardcore is definitely a good difficulty, certainly challenging, but I haven't thrown my controller (okay I'm rubbish on a turret and that might have caused some damage! {I didn't know the use of RB})

When you say drowning are you talking about the end of act 2? I didn't really like that level
