My opinion of GOW2 has gone up tenfold

Gears 2 is much easier than Gears 1, hands down. Hardcore in Gears 2 feels like Casual in Gears 1!

But whatever, I'm glad you're enjoying the game much more now! The real thing is Insane though, some enemy spawns are so annoying sometimes.

So Insane is pretty much like Insane in Gears 1? Hardcore in Gears 2 was quite easy for me compared to Gears 1, especially since it had no annoying stuff like the Reavers on top of the train or lambent wretches (I much prefer tickers, thank you!).

Yeah, I'd say it's about the same, but there are more annoying spots in Gears 2 compared to Gears 1. First of all, sometimes, when you're in the Hollow, some Tickers will just spawn from nowhere and run at you while you're getting shot by a ton of Locusts! Second of all... I can't quite remember (I think it had something to do with way too long checkpoints)! xD

Once you get the sniper and keep it until the end of the game, you'll be OK though!
