Re: What has been the greatest/favorite achievement you've unlocked?

Beating Gears of War on casual. The final boss was extremely difficult.

I would have to say this also, General Raam is tough. I beat most of the game on hardcore but had to drop down to casual to beat Raam.

How the hell do you beat Raam on Hardcore? I swear I've unloaded nearly everything on him, from the bow, to sniper rifle, to all my regular machine gun and he still kills me. What's the secret?

Beating Gears of War on hardcore. It probably took me close to 50 attempts to beat RAAM. I was nearly dead when somehow I got off the shot that dropped him as he was closing in on me.

It's a pain in the ***. I did it with the Torque Bow, machine gun combo. I also threw grenades at him, which also seemed to have an impact. I either hit him with the Torque bow to make the birds scatter or I just waited until the birds scattered on their own and made sure I hit him with headshots. Don't even bother trying to shoot with the machine gun when the birds are around. I also had to run from one side to the other a few times (don't let him get too close to you - it's better to make a run for it a little early than a little late). Also, revive Dom whenever you have a chance. He doesn't do much but he does distract RAAM a little bit. Like I said above, it took me probably 50 times to actually beat him, and I was about ready to give up when I finally did it. I don't know how anyone could beat RAAM on insane solo.

I read somewhere that you have to get 12 headshots to beat him on hardcore and 6 on casual. My strategy was using the torque bow to make those bird things disperse, they act as a shield, and then unloading headshots with the sniper rifle.

I'd say that was monumental.

Torque bow isn't even needed on insane. You just want the sniper. Heck, you can even do it with the shotgun instead of the sniper. You do have to get a bit lucky on where Raam walks, but it really isn't that hard.

#1 don't bother shooting him when the kryll are on him, they shield him from damage.
#2 stay behind the first barrier and snipe him when he sends the kryll at you. Do this until he starts getting closer. On insane, you have to be ultra quick with the sniper shot or he will blow you away. On insane, do not pop out of cover when he is firing at you.
#3 when he gets close, switch to machine gun and blind fire at him as he approaches if the kryll aren't on him. Blind throw a grenade at him to get the kryll off of him.
#4 you can blind fire at him for quite some time when he is just on the other side of the barrier. But when he's there you need to start looking for an opportunity to run to new cover further down the train.
#5 the best time to run is when the kryll have just returned to him and he's backed away to the side to come around the barrier to finish you off. Hop over the barrier and stay to the opposite side of cover that Raam was at.
#6 don't bother with the troika gun. Just get to the barrier in front of the gun in the light and repeat - snipe him when the kryll are off and blind fire him when he gets close. That should be enough to finish him off. If it's not, just repeat by waiting for him to get close and then run back to your starting cover. Another option is to run to the troika, but stay at the bottom of the ramp and inch your way up and down to snipe Raam and dodge his fire to finish him.

Re: What has been the greatest/favorite achievement you've unlocked?

Beating Oblivion...that game took me what felt like ages to finish...fun stuff though.

+1, but if a game was ever worth $59.99, Oblivion was it, and I hate RPG's!

Purple Heart in Battlestations Midway.

Re: What has been the greatest/favorite achievement you've unlocked?

so far... beating Rainbow Six Vegas on hard in 2 days...

But I suck at games so something like this was quite a big deal to me.

Re: What has been the greatest/favorite achievement you've unlocked?

10 million on Geometry Wars was my personal achievment to beat. My friend just hit 32 in a row in Street Figher and now he's ranked 24 in the nation. I think thats a good one too.
