Gears of War 2

I beat it with a friend, one friend, the amount of locusts that come out, is directly related to the number of players. We beat it on blood drive, my tip, during the highly levels, get a shield, and set it in a doorway facing towards where you will be, so no one can knock it down, but you can still climb over it. Block the door at the top of the staircase, that has the handgun spawn in it, so you will always have ammo.

 

Locust that can kick over the Boomshield, will.

Found that out the hard way with a Sniper and a Mauler.

 

Not true, if the part you hold is facing them, then they can't knock it over, so thats why I said, face into the room when you set it.

 

Oh, right. Fine print.

I have to try that some time...

 

Rofllmaool.

 

Cool. I only have one person that I play with, and we have been doing it on Day One. The only problem we have is the bloodmounts. They just hop over wherever we are holed up and destroy us.

How do you set the boomshield so that it stands up? Just pick it up and deploy it, then switch weapons?

 

When you have it, make sure the space infront of you isn't occupied by body parts or an item.

Hold L, then press A, and you'll dig it in.

And yeah Bloodmounts are complete destroyers. I found out the hard way during campaign that Hardcore Bloodmounts can kill you in one swing.

 

Stay away from bloodmounts, and stick them with torque bow arrows.

If you have a shield, then you can stand right in front of one with impunity. So long as his rider is dead. There were a couple times when I was forced to tank cause of all the bloodmounts.

Shields also make good mobile sniper cover. Just find a good spot, and set the shield down, instant cover.

 

hmmmmm...hold L, then press A? I tried it and it didn't work...maybe they changed it in the update. I'll try it again next time and see if I did it wrong

EDIT:

Ahhh, I got it. I think I was holding it before.

 

I'm fairly certain it gives a prompt.

 

When holding L with a shield? I think there isn't a notification you can do the action, I think you just have to press A for yourself...

 

You're sure?

 

Yeah, I think they did that on purpose because it would just distract, because you're holding L to shoot the ****e out of something, you don't want to be distracted by "PRESS THIS BUTTON TO DO THIS ACTION".

Like when you're in cover and move the analog stick to prompt actions.

 

A small prompt at the bottom of the screen.
