The one part I agree with you is on carrying the box bomb. That is a pain in the ass, especially on co-op mode. It was very difficult to coordinate our movements for some reason. Thankfully, it is very short.

As for the rest, I enjoyed the change of pace that those levels brought to the game.

One other thing I disliked, was trying to shoot while on vehicles you do not control (I was second player). It was very difficult to aim. This is especially true with the tank and the flying things near the end of the game.

Oh I'm not saying Horde is easy because it's not (we were playing on the setting above Normal I believe), just the sires are easy even on wave 30+ (we got to wave 37 before we just couldn't get any further and I remember always loving to see Sires because that meant easy kills).

Gears of war is meant to be played on insane difficulty. Too bad you can't start with it, hardcore setting was too easy. Well except for the flying with a reaver. :p

lol, I don't even remember it hehe, maybe I need to play gears 1 over again ;) I guess Carmine is like Kenny from southpark hehe.

Played a bunch of multiplayer and I got to say I'm getting used to the new gameplay and its not bad, I love all the new features and type of matches you can go in, its a lot of fun.

I liked them levels :D
