| rocketpig said: Hardcore wasn't Normal in the first game... I played through the first many times and the difficulty level isn't that different. I noticed that Epic added a lot more recoil to Gears 2, but overall, I don't find the difficulty levels that different. Then again, I'm only halfway through the game but up to this point, I don't see a lot different unless I spent the last two years eating retard sandwiches and lost all ability to aim. |
I mean that in the first game there were three settings: Casual, Hardcore, and Insane. Hardcore was the medium option, which I tend to think of as "Normal".
What I assumed was that they ratcheted up the difficulty on Hardcore, but this did not happen! So I imagine now it goes like this:
Gears 2 Insane = Gears 1 Insane
Gears 2 Hardcoe = Gears 1 Hardcore
Gears 2 Normal = Gears 1 Casual
Gears 2 Casual = Really really really easy
