About Face Maneuver Description: This type of move is done when your character whips around 180 degrees quickly. To perform the move, hold Analog-stick Away to start walking backwards + A for a short time. Release A when your character turns around to perform it. To avoid frag grenades or retreat somewhere fast, keep holding A and Marcus will "roadie run" in the opposite direction.
Berserkers You first need to get the Berserker's attention since Berserkers are blind. They go off sound and smell.
In the final level the trick starts with leading the Berserker all the way back to the very 1st train car. While it is still on it, quickly run off and press the button to release the car. The train car will collapse and the Berserker will go with it.
Instead of pushing the button on the train car, you can lead the Berserker to the very back of the train for a trick here. Walk to the very end of the train where there is an opening. Its impossible to fall off for you. Stand in the opening and have the Berserker run at you, then roll out of the way. The Berserker will run off the train. If you look back, you will see the Berserker laying on the tracks.
Killing Berserkers usually takes 2 hits with the Hammer Of Dawn. However, if you stick a grenade to them while they are still glowing red, it saves the trouble of aiming again with the Hammer Of Dawn. This is easier with 2 players, but not too difficult to do alone.
The second Berserker in Act 4 is defeated similarly. There are six stone supports for the second part of the greenhouse. Lead the berserker through the six supports, you will see glass dropping from the ceiling. Once all six supports have been taken out, two shots with the Hammer of Dawn will do the trick.
Boomers *Gears Of War* Description: Here are four ways to help you with Boomers:
1. Equip a grenade and after the Boomer fires their weapon, run next to them and press B, then run away. If done correctly, you will hear a sound that indicates that the grenade has attached to the Boomer. This can kill a Boomer instantly and save on ammunition.
2. Boomers have rocket launchers that can usually kill you with one hit. To kill them, take cover and wait until they shoot before you start shooting back. When they start reloading is the best time to shoot them because of their slow reload rate on their gun. After they reload you can just hide again. Repeat this a few times and you will be able to kill them.
3. Again hide and wait for the Boomer to reload. When they are reloadiing use a sniper to shoot him in the head. It will explode after about 3 shots.
4. Use a Toque Bow: Hold the trigger until you see the arc straighten. This shows that the bolt will stick. Fire it onto the Boomer and it should kill them in one hit, even on the high difficulties.
General Raam First you need to pick up the grenades and a sniper rifle supplied in the center of the room before entering the boss arena.
Stay behind the wall after entering the arena you ended the cut scene with. This is important because you need to maintain your distance from Raam. Also, it helps to command Don to "cease fire." This will make him run back towards you keeping him alive longer to distract Raam.
The trick here is to get Raam's swarm away from his body. You need to throw a grenade at Raam to do this. If successful, the swarm will disperse giving you clear head shots using the sniper rifle. Now to just repeat until you defeat him.
If you run out of grenades or simply cannot plave them well, just stay in the lighted areas of floor to avoid the Kryll swarm.
If you do not defeat Raam by the time he reaches your wall cover, move in the opposite direction he does and shoot when the swarm disperses. You will take damage from Raam’s machine gun, but you stay in the light which prevents the swarm from killing you.
Get under level in Fuel Depot Walk into the large warehouse in the middle of the level. If you walked in from the front, you will see a large shelf with a few racks on the left side in the middle of the warehouse. Shoot all of the loose objects off the shelf until you see a small yellow object. Behind the shelf, there is a small indentation that leads to the left that you can climb on top of to lead you to a higher platform. Kick the yellow object into the top left corner of that indentation. Now, take cover against the object. It will appear as if you are taking cover against a wall. Climb over the wall and you will be under the level. *** Once under the level you cannot get out.
Avoiding the Kryll -Gears Of War How to: In the second chapter of the game, you will be swarmed by enemy kryll if you so much as set foot in the dark. To avoid being attacked, stay in the light at all times. When there's no light in sight, look for propane canisters you can blow up to create some flames to scare them off.

Run to the door that is not in front of them or you will die. Make sure you have frag grenades equipped. When they break open the door, stick the very first Locust that comes through the door then stand in front of him so he cannot run away. When the grenade explodes it should kill all three of the Locusts and you might survive. If you survived make sure that you killed all three of them then pause the game. Load the last checkpoint and do this ten times. You do not have to survive while trying to get this achievement.

Dealing with Berserker [Submitted by: TonyS] To defeat the Beserker at the end of act one, simply dive to the side when she charges at you. Run through the doorway to your right and continue to the door at the end of the room and face your back to it. Get the Berserkers attention by shooting at her or revving the chainsaw then, dive away at the last moment when she charges causing her to break the door down for you.
Continue this to get through the next two doors. When you finally lure her into the courtyard simply use the Hammer of Dawn twice to take her down.
Emergence Holes -Gears Of War When an emergence hole opens up, toss a grenade into it. This will automatically close the hole, and therefore keep the locusts from coming out.
The Hammer Of Dawn can easily destroy emergence holes. You must activate it by targeting an enemy first, and then aim it toward the emergence hole.
Finding C.O.G. Tags (Gears Of War) Description: In Campaign mode, look for the red gear with skull insidesymbols painted on a wall, floor, or something. This indicates that the Locust have killed some Gear soldiers in the area. Because Gear soldiers wear C.O.G. tags, you should be able to find one nearby.
There are 30 hidden Cog Tags scattered throughout the game. They are small and sometimes hard to find, but there is a a mark you can look out for that will make finding the Cog Tags easier. Look for large, red Gear logos pasted on the walls: if you find a room with this large Gear logo, examine the room and you're sure to find a Cog Tag somewhere. We have the complete list so look at the rest of the cheats here.
Reloading Faster *Gears Of War* How to: When pressing RB to reload, there will be a clear bar with a small white segment somewhere along it. It appears where your bullets used to be. There will be a smaller white bar moving across the clear bar. Press RB again as soon as the white bare gets inside the white segment. This will reload your weapon much faster, and if timed perfectly it will give your gun an extra boost in fire power.
Another attempt in explaining it: When reloading your weapon, watch the upper-right corner of the screen for a meter that counts down. Press the reload button a second time when the meter's moving bar matches up with the stationary bar. This will give you a super fast reload and put you back in the fight quicker than normal.
***NOTE: If you do not time it right, the clear bar will become red and it will take even longer to reload than if you had not attempted it.

Corpser Corpse Hint 1: There's a quick way to win. The weapon of choice here is the Lancer (chainsaw rifle) with its constant stream of fire. Shoot at the belly of the Corpser, from any angle you can between its legs.
If you hit the belly a few times, it will lift it's front legs and expose it's face. Immediately fire up at it's face. It will shriek and move back.
Hurry and move up to grab ammo and just repeat. If you don't move fast enough wretches will arrive in waves and make things much harder. You must hit the Corpser's face three times.
You'll back it up onto a platform with two destructable joints. They're lit up and on the ground. Shoot them both and the Corpser will plunge into the Imulsion liquid. If you're quick enough you can kill the corpser before any wretches arrive.
Hint 2: All you need for this battle is a shotgun and machine gun. This will be a fairly long range fight. It is an easy fight but the Wretches that come from everywhere make it harder. When the Corpser raises all his legs and slams them down, your teammate may yell out "Wretches!". If they do then take out a shotgun or use your machine gun. At the start you should focus on the stomach. You can always get a shot on it, even when the Corpser shields itself. The other point of firing focus, which is its mouth or face. When you shoot the stomach it will cringe and its mouth will open as it screams so shoot it in the mouth when you can. While you are doing this, watch out for the Corpser's Ground Pound. It not only brings Wretches but also takes away part of the arena in the back. If your character dies in the back he might be lost. Your ammo cases may also be lost. Keep repeating untl it can no longer be hurt. Now it is time to focus around the smashable latches. There are two of them. Shoot both of the latches so that they pop, and the platform that the Corpser is on will be sent into the lava.
Fighting the Wretches How to: When fighting wretches(the small, shrieking enemies that don't use weapons) attack with melee strikes. The best melee strikes come from weapons other than your grenades and Lancer chainsaw rifle. The chainsaw attack is too slow to combat the swarming wretches, so stick to quick-hit melee punches for instant kills.
You have 2 hide and when the birds go away shoot the hell out of his head
A 2:
You need to get the torque bow and longshot(aka sniper rifle).When you get out there you need to shoot him with the torque boe to scare of his birdies hen shoot him in the head with longshot.To kill him you must shoot him in the head with longshot 6 times.
A 3:
Ignore the flying things then stay in the light so the kryll wont get you and also you can only kill RAAM when the kryll arent on him I advise use something explosive at the start then when he is getting closer use something rapid like the machine gun
A 4:
Just keep your head down behind the barrier or the kril will kill u and shoot raam in the head and only the head it takes time and a lot of ammo but it works
A 5:
You stock up on bow ammo and the machine gun ammo. aim at his head with the bow and keep doing this until you run out of bow ammo. then you just keep firing the machine gun at his head, you might not be able to do it first time but it does work
A 6:
The best way to defeat RAAM is to get the torque bow and keep your gun. Go to the second block half lit up duck shoot duck shoot like the rest of the game,he should get stuck behind it fire when the bats are away from him shoot. Just toss grenades to clear them out and shoot, when you run out use your bow just lobb arows that will scatter the kryll and just keep on shooting. I used this stratagie to defeat RAAM on hardcore and insane modes, should only take about 2minutes to finishe him off. GOOD LUCK.
A 7:
Alright I dont want to boast but I beat insane by my self and murdered genereal ram when you first start on the train kill the berserker yadi yahh then there will be poeple with bows take them out fast and take the bows dont use the ammo for it though then when you get to ramm youll also get the sniper now dont suck grab the sniper get as much ammo as you can ittl respawn so dont worry stock up then grab grenades and go out the door. chuck A granade at him and the locust should clear then blast him with the bow then switch to the snipe for good measure or if your good with the bow use it continue pattern and run around when he rushes you but stay in the light go in th dark for 1 sec and your dead so take advantage of you roll abilities to minimize your time in the dark take cover and watch his machine gun it hurts so you have to be fast on the shots and also I got a couple of dead on blind fires it never hurts to try
~some1killedyou~
A 8:
You can kill raam by getting the touque bow and the sniper. First you shoot him with the touque bow and the kril will leave him and then u shoot him in the head with the sniper and keep doing that. You shouls also stay at the very back of the train like when u come out the door to fight him. If he gets to close to you throw lots of granads at him then run to the other end of the train cart
A 9:
U stay at the place u where at where u started get the torque bow and then shoot him with the t.bow and then waiste a machine gun clip on him do this until he gets close then when the krill come off him throw a greanade or 2. If he doesnt die run 2 the other side and there will be bunker just like the other one. And then repeate everything I said 2 do
A 10:
Never do the sniper never its ammo is low and well u only get 1 shot then those phyco path birds fly back use the machine gun and its suiside trying to use the chainsaw 1 it probily wont work becose hes like 3 feet biger than u 2 his machine gun will kill u in 2 seconeds bc ur so close so theres a glitch were u go to 1 of the blocks for cover I think its the closes to raam he will get stuck qwalking towards u so pretty much uve 1 don't go outta cover just blind fire bows and shoot the machine gun theres a easy way I never tried kill a boomer take its rocket louncher and wate for him to send the phyco birds to kill u and blast him dead
A 11:
First hide then when the kryll hav gon shoot him in the head (i used the rocket laucher)
A 12:
Use the torque bow and snipe him in the head. First shoot him with the bow and shoot his head wit the sniper.
