This can be very hard on higher difficulties, tr and use the missiles and take enemies out from long distances before they can shoot you.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
Just run through the basics of multiplayer, I would do this even if it was not an achievement as it is benificial to know how to play the game properly and also it gives you good knowledge on the One Day map.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
This must be done online against human players, it is easier to do with friends as they would be willing to help you get this achievement. Otherwise people some times let you die so they can get the capture point.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
Only ONE person has to be revving their chainsaw bayonnet but the other must still have the lancer equipped. Just play a one verses one multiplayer match with a friend and just have chainsaw battles.

From Cervantes De Leon | Mar 7th 2010
To activate a chainsaw duel, two people (on opposing teams) must walk in to one another while revving the chainsaw bayonnet of the Lancer. In a duel, hammer the B button fast enough to over-power your opponent and kill them. Do this a total of 10 times in the campaign, horde or multiplayer game modes for the achievement.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
Easy to do on any game type, i did it in multiplayer as you get three points towards the achievement for each kill, one to damage them and one to down them. The hit them again to deliver the final blow, repeat 4 times and you should be done.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
It is easiest if you just use the hammer of dawn which you should have picked up before. Using this you can take care of it in no time.

From Talon9889 | Mar 17th 2010
All you have to do is aim for the head and hold it there for a few seconds. When you are firing on it's back, you can't kill it.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
Pretty easy on any difficulty, just stay on the Troika Turret and you should get plenty of easy kills. Remember stop shooting just before it overheats as it is quicker to cool down if it hasnt overheated.

From zgame master | May 28th 2010
Simple, melee the crap out of any ticker you see and achievement done. I suggest melee as it is effective but also counts towards the " Takes A Licking" achievement.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This is simple, although Baird is so useless i wish he stayed in captivity. This level contains a lot of long distance fighting over barges so i recommend you have the longshot sniper in your iventory.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Storm the Nexus and set off Jack's (the little robot flying dude) beacon for an easy 10 gamerscore. This level involves a fair bit of close ditance fighting so it can be hard on the higher difficulties.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Watch as the Queen runs away in fear, the boss battle with Scourge is quite hard on higher difficulties as the Ink Grenades can kill you iin a matter of seconds.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Have some fun with this level, simply spam the Brumaks missiles and machine guns to rack up over 200 kills. This is quite fun this level and is very easy on all difficulties, if your having problems then try hang back a bit and kill all enemies from long range with the Brumaks mountes missiles.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
The first mission in the game, if you are new to Gears Of War games I definitely recommend playing this as it is basically a tutorial anyway.

From Talon9889 | Mar 17th 2010
When you first start the game, you will be asked if you want to train Carmine. Say yes and when you complete his training, you will get the achievement.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Ironic name as you spend the whole level chopping up a giant worm. This is pretty easy as their is little enemy resistance. Make sure you kept your lancer otherwise this mission will be kind of immpossible.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Successfully defend the hospital from the Locust invasion.
This is the first real level and is quite easy but there is a problem as you can run out of ammo quite quickly on higher difficulties.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
As the leader the most successful way to win is to basically camp in the place with the least amount of possible entries. Make sure your team knows where you are at all times and communicate with them if you are under attack. One of the best stratagies is to set up a few frag proximity mines.

From Cervantes De Leon | Jun 9th 2009
The 11 executions are as follows:

1. With any weapon equipped, pick up a downed enemy with A, then snap their neck with X.
2. With the Sniper Rifle equipped, press Y to use it like a sledgehammer on the opponent's back.
3. With the Sniper Rifle equipped, press B to slam it down on the opponent's head.
4. With the Torque Bow equipped, press B to nudge them with the Torque Bow's blades.
5. With the Torque Bow equipped, press Y to place their head between the bow and the blades and kick for a bloody decapitation.
6. With the Boltok Pistol equipped, press Y to slam the gun on the top of their head.
7. With the Shotgun equipped, press B to hit the opponent's head, using the shotgun like a golf club.
8. With the Boomshield equipped, press Y to slam the shield in to the opponent's face.
9. With any weapon equipped, press X for the famous Curb Stomp (Crush the opponents head with your foot).
10. With any weapon equipped that doesn't use the Y button for an execution (e.g. Lancer), press Y to punch the opponent in the face three times til dead.
11. With any weapon equipped that doesn't use the B button for an execution (e.g. Lancer), press B to slam it in to their back. (Note: If you're using the Lancer for this one, just tap B, don't hold it.)

Chainsaw executions and planted Granade executions aren't counted for this achievement.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Very easy level as the Sirens that you verse are not eqquiped with any weapons, they can only melee you. Either waste your ammo or ready your chainsaw bayonnet for a good old fashioned texas chainsaw massacre.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Just get your pistol out in the first level adn shoot one bullet, reload and make sure you stop the marker at the start of the grey area to get a perfect reload. Repeat 30 times and your done.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Play any act in co-op mode, if you have no one to pla with simply switch on a controller and leave the second player at the start of the level.
Note: this won't work for all levels as some levels you will die if you don't move away from the start, for example the level inside the giant worm, your teammate will get crushed if you leave him there.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Simply find a mulcher either in multiplayer or one dropped by Grinders in Horde or Campaigne. With one equipped slide into cover by pressing A then press the left trigger to mount it onto the cover you are in. Then kill as many enemies as you can without letting it overheat.

From Cervantes De Leon | Jun 9th 2009
A quick way to get this achievement is to plant a granade on a downed enemy, then pick them up. When the granade detonates, the enemy will be liquified and you'll be unharmed, adding one to the total. Repeat nine more times till you get the achievement.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This is very easy as you can just play on casual difficulty and run up to enemies and tag a grenade onto the floor. This might kill you as well so you might have to reload a checkpoint and repeat this again. Do it ten times and you will have the achievement.
Note: even if you reload a checkpoint the progress towards the achievement will not be reduced.

From pokeman_2.0 | Apr 25th 2010
To get this achievement play horde on blood drive and plant grenades on the stair case and in the tunnel.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This can be done just through general gameplay. You should get 30 on the first run through campaigne but if you don't then start up a multiplayer match on river or fuel station. They are both very open maps with mortars on them. Doing this in Annex mode is easiest as the enemies will just keep respawning.

From Cervantes De Leon | Mar 7th 2010
This is easiest done near the start of Act 3 in the campaign mode. Pick up the Scorcher that appears not long after the first cutscene with the door and continue onwards in to the open area, where you will be attacked by a pack of wretches. Keep mowing them down with the Scorcher (restart from the previous checkpoint if necessary) and the achievement should appear in no time.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This can be quite hard if you don't have a skilled partner, just remember to use teamwork and you should have a good chance at winning.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Classic name, thank you EPIC!
Anyway this is the level where you drive a centaur up a very big mountain. Make sure you always shoot reavers as they can cause your tank major damage if you don't take them out.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Self explanatory, just traverse the sunken city landscape killing any thing that moves. The ambush near the end of the level can be quite hard to defeat as there is liitle cover to protect you from all four directions. Let the "Cole Train" save the day and the achievement is yours.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This level is fairly easy as it is mainly just running around, you don't find much opposition. After spending the whole level looking for Dom's lover, Maria, you will eventially find her.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This is a fairly short level, and is the same on every difficulty. Taking down the Leviathion consists of chopping off some tentacles and throwing a few grenades down its mouth.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Clear Jacinto of all Locusts. This level can be hard but can be made easy if you use the Mulchers and Moratrs right.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
A strategy based mode that requires teamwork to win. Once capturing the objective, don't just sit in the circle as this is a sure way to die.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Just take a photo in multiplayer by pressing the X button while you are spectating then go to War Journal and upload the photo onto the internet. You n=must have XBOX live to get this achievement.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This can be done in just two to three multiplayer matches. Just kill about 10 people and you should easily be level 5.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Supercheats has a great guide to finding all the collectibles. This achievement can be time consuming but it is worth the gamerscore.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Win a map on all of the Snowblind Maps, Fuel Depot, Underhill, Courtyard and Grindyard.
You can do this in training ground but i suggest multiplayer as to get other achievements for this game, you need to have won on all four of these maps.

From superbird5005 | Dec 15th 2009
This is best done with a friend. Play a 10 round match with a friend, and have him down you. Have all the weapons switched to Grenades, and make sure you have a grenade out when you are down. Have your friend come up to you, and detonate. Watch the Bloody fountain of Body parts if you want, which is always fun.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Pretty easy and quick, easier to do online but if nesecary it is still quite easy to play by yourself, just set difficulty to Casual.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This is quite hard but note that you only have to do this on one map, not all.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
This is quite time consuming, note this is only on the maps that came with the game not any of the downloaded content.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Easiest to do with your Snub Pistol in act 1 Chapters 4 and 5. Whenever a ticker gets close just melee them then shoot them while there on there backs.

From superbird5005 | Dec 15th 2009
This is best done with a friend. Have every weapon in the Map, and play a 15 round Match. Make sure EVERYTHING is there. Ink Grenades count as a weapon, but smoke grenades don't. Make sure you shoot them, instead of executing them, just in case.

From zgame master | May 29th 2010
Just play the game a lot and you will eventually get this achievement. If you are really desperate then you can play the level where you ride on a Brumak, just keep repeating as you rack up many kills. This is quite boring though.

From superbird5005 | Dec 15th 2009
If you haven't notice, Insane is much easier on Gears of War 2 than the first game. Always do this with a very good friend who is very good at this. You should finish it in no time. Make sure you use your cover a lot, since it will be the only thing that keeps you alive, next to your friend.

From superbird5005 | Dec 15th 2009
This is best done if you just start off on Wave 10, and on a map with a Scorcher. I would suggest the Highway map, since it has it under the bridge. After roasting the Bloodmounts, exit and do it again until you get the achievement.

From superbird5005 | Dec 15th 2009
This is better done on Casual, and by yourself. Play with the bot(Dom) and he leads the way. Do everything he says, and no fast running. Try not to get too close to the Locust, we don't need to piss them off and have them shoot you.
