I hear that Federal Express has a few extra copies floating around in Memphis.

An employee and a regular were playing at work and they almost completed the game on hard.

Hardcore is the "average" difficulty level. Then there's Insane which is unlocked after completing the campaign 1x. Were they playing Co-Op? What was their take on the game?

[Izret101]

They were playing co-op which i assume also makes the game 100x easier since your partner can revive you.

[phoenix1967]

Yeah, come to think of it that would help out a lot. Playing the campaign solo, none of your squad mates would come to your rescue, only you can revive them.

I want to get this game.

I'm surprised you don't already have it. You slacking? 

[Tynstar]

I haven't had a video game system hooked up in almost a month.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

He is slacking, from his duties as a gamer! Get him!

I have bought a few games and few game related items. Does that count?

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Not quite, that's collecting, but with this evidence we can let you get off with just a fine.

[Tynstar]

I am a collector more then a gamer.

[phoenix1967]

No problem, Tyn. When you finally get Gears, I hope you'll at least try it out.

It's tough to make the time to game sometimes. I hear ya there. But it makes the time doing so that much more fun with the right games.

After finishing act 2, I'm more and more impressed by this game! They keep the variety level high, and the AI is excellent!

One thing about the game that keeps it interesting is the ability to collect COG tags as a part of getting achievements. I missed a bunch in act 1, but kept a closer eye out for them in act 2. Some are a little tricky to get, but it's just one more aspect of the game that keeps it fresh, imo.
