NOTE: This game is rated "M" for MATURE. The FAQ may contain quotes from the
game that are vulgar. However, I will try to refrain from using much
vulgarity in my FAQ if possible. If a more serious curse word, like the"F" word is said and it is not a quote from the game, it will be censored (i.e. "RAAM is a ****ing hard battle" or something along those lines)
if possible. |
VERSION 1.0 - Act 5, including RAAM, is finished. The ending script is wrote up. Some achievements are edited. Various small additions here and there. YES! THE FAQ IS FINALLY COMPLETE! Now all that's left is finishing up some sections, wrapping things up, various errors corrected, etc.
VERSION 0.9 - Various things added here and there. The main thing is the addition of Act 4.
VERSION 0.8 - Added some notes here and there in the Achievements. I added a Thank You. The biggest thing of all, however, is the finishing of Act 3.
VERSION 0.7 - BIG update! Where to start...? I updated the list of websites that have permission to host my FAQ. I updated the list of Achievements with Tips on Insane Achievements. Speaking of Insane, I added some Insane Notes to the end of every Chapter already typed up and I plan to add them at the end of every Chapter coming. The whole FAQ is a LOT more organized now. And of course, the biggest update of all, the addition of Act 2.
VERSION 0.6 - There are various updates throughout the FAQ, and little tid-bits added here-and-there. For the most part, I have received no e-mails about errors in the FAQ, which is good, although I'm suspicious of a few things here-and-there. This FAQ is at the halfway mark, or an estimated half-way mark, anyway. I have half of the main walkthrough written. My goal is to finish the whole FAQ in two days, but no later than four. I will then upload version 0.9 when that comes around, try to type up most of the sections that aren't somewhat complete (i.e. Co-Op) and then finally upload version 1.0. I can't wait for that day. =P
VERSION 0.4 - Basic set-up is wrote. Some sections are wrote. First chapter is complete. Intros and Outros are wrote. A lot of the "meat" of the FAQ is not yet complete, but the FAQ is uploaded for what I do have complete. I am hoping to have it generally finished by the end of the week.
Hello, and welcome to my FAQ on the great Xbox360 title, Gears of War. I hope that you will gain something by reading this, as that is the reason I'm writing it. If there's anything mispelled, grammatically incorrect, incorrect info, or suggestions/tips (or anything GoW related) that you wish to contact me about, see the "Contacting the Author" section at the bottom of the document.
My name is Matt Silvey, internet aliased, gamertagged, and nicknamed Cuzit (due to my long hair, but to go into detail about it is a backstory too long and unrelated for a game FAQ). I'm Southern. I enjoy video games, bothing playing and making them. I also rap (though not professionally, and whether I'm considered good or not, I do not know) and skateboard. I also enjoy writing, both novels and FAQs, though none have currently been accepted at GameFAQs due to "Formatting Error," so if you're reading this, that means I've finally gotten one accepted!
I am not going to pretend I'm a professional at this game. The first few times I played on Live, I was slaughtered, and I'm still raped most of the time. I'm near beating it on Hardcore difficulty, and haven't even attempted Insane. I have beaten Casual. I still do not have most of the Achievements, though most of the ones I don't have or the XBox Live related ones (for example, A Series of Tubes). [UPDATE] I am glad to announce that I have finally completed Insane though. So now this should help out with even people playing Insane!
But enough about me....
This FAQ is, of course, a walkthrough for the game Gears of War. Until I
complete the game on Insane diffuculty, this FAQ will mostly apply for Hardcore
and Casual difficulties. This is NOT a FAQ for Xbox-Live and multi-player, the
exception being made with a small Co-Op chapter (that is NOT a walkthrough, in
any means). This FAQ will not help you cheat or glitch your way through the
game. This is just an honest, helpful Campaign walkthrough.
I would also like to note that this FAQ is intended to be a step-by-step walkthrough. There will be no spoilers, but any surprises (like an enemy popping out somewhere to surprise you, for example) will more than likely be ruined. If you don't like FAQs like this (if you don't know exactly what I mean, read Act 1: Ashes) then please don't send me any hate mail, just click the back button on your browser and select another FAQ.
And to add on to this - This FAQ will help you with the COG tags. There will be a checklist of them, but I will not have instructions on each one on this list. Instead, I will have a number in parentheses, similar to the chapter finder above. Hit CNTRL-F and type in that number, and it should take you to where in the guide you can find it. I will mention it during the course of the guide if there is one nearby. Therefore, if you follow the guide exactly, by the end of the game, you should have all thirty.
UPDATE: After playing through the game on Insane, there will be a small section at the bottom of every chapter that has a small Insane walkthrough or notes on Insane mode or something of that sort. I hope some people find it useful. ^_^
