I finished Gears of War twice, once on Casual and then once on Hardcore. Now I am wondering what Insane will be like. Anyone got any tips? How long should it take for an average player? Is it frustrating.

After finishing on Hardcore, I went to SIngle Player then continue and then Insane. It took me to the final boos battle with General RAAM on Insane. I had the torque bow thing and when I tried to aim, RAAM killed me before the torque bow's blue laser thing could become a straight line. Is Insane realy frustrating? Hardcore was kinda hard for me.

The only difficult thing about it is the boss fights. Really, Gears of War is a cake-walk on all difficulties though. Don't stress it.

I really dont know what GS was talking about when they said the game was too difficult :? the game is pretty easy compared to other games on their highest difficulty...Ninja Gaiden 2 master ninja, halo 3 legendary etc...just give it a little more time and practice

Well if you've played through twice then you shuld recognize where enemies come from in most parts so that helps. Just move slow if you find yourself taking alot of damage and try to use the sniper alot. It makes it much easier to walk through areas whne you have that weapon.

I still want to know how to kill general raam on hardcore. I know how to kill him. hit him in the head 12 times. but that is almost impossible. or do I just get frustrated too quickly?

I found halo 3 on ledgendary a piece of cake to complete.

RAAM on insane is a major SOB, at least he was for me. He took me many tries to kill. I guess I don't know how to fight him very well. Other than that though, I think you'll be surprised at how doable the rest of insane is. The difficulty jump outside of RAAM between hardcore and insane isn't much at all. I suck at the game like I do every game but outside of RAAM and a couple other parts, I didn't really notice too much difference between insane and hardcore.

If you do struggle, just play co-op, it seems so easy with a friend.

I found him easier on hardcore than casual to be honest! I guess I knew what to expect. I killed him with grenades, hammering him with the lancer and then the longshot when I ran out of grenades. I didn't even move from the point where you start. On insane though it was a different matter!!! :)

Agreed, I found insane not that hard, but needed help at certain points.

I think the only hard part is the annoying Driving section at the End of Act 2. Well, hard as in "annonying to the point it loses it's fun".

the only thing you really need to do when fighting him on hardcore, is to stay in cover for a while. if you keep your head out long enough, he can do some serious damage. keep in mind, stock up on torque bow ammo, frags, and lancer ammo. shoot him with the torque bow. when the krill go away, unleash your lancer on im. if he corners you. just iver cover and roadie run to the other end as fast as you can. keep doing the torque bow and lacer thing a few times and he should go down pretty easily.

Just recently beat Gears on hardcore (even though didnt get the beat all acts on hardcore achievement, but did get the act 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and gen raam hardcore achievements), and tried insane... didnt realize how stupid my AI teammates were till then. Enemy has a turret gunner, so they run directly to it, but not kill it or avoid the bullets.

The only difference I noticed on insane difficulty was in the last boss.

I got so bored ofmy xbox cuz I dont have anything to play on it but now I am going to try Insane.

To kill RAAM on Hardcore I had the torque bow so I shot one at his head and made it stick. When the thing exploded the krylls got away form him so I took out the lancer and nailed him in the head continuously and also getting perfect reloads. I kept repeating this and did it.

Turret? You mean troika, the big machine gun? You can kill RAAM with one of those? Where are they?
