Today I take on Gears of War 2's hardest difficulty for its hardest achievement... well the other one. Lots of things in this playthrough bullied me, but there were a few parts that did more than others.

Gears of War E-Day announced yippie - Hry
I've still got "THEY'RE SINKING THE CITIES WITH A GIANT WORM" stuck in my head all these years later. Great game, but man does the difficulty not mess around.
Not just any worm, "AN ALASKAN BULLWORM!!!".
Riftworm
Same my friend. this game DID make me cry a bit. but hey it's one HELL OF A JOY RIDE
That line is so legendary I have it clipped on my channel.
Thank you for training Carmine he was a valuable addition to the team frfr
Of all the carmines this one hit me hard. My buddy got me into gears this year….we played every single one of them together in one month. It made me see what I missed just like the original mass effect and that trilogy I played recently as well.
Benjamin ‘Worm Food’ Carmine will certainly be a vital member for Delta Squad. Can’t wait for his great character arc to unfold.
@@phoney4258Benjamin “yummy guts” Carmine is by far the most valuable asset to delta squad
@@jakebaumgardner4991
Got myself an Xbox Series X mostly because I wanted to play Gears of War (and other stuff)
@@phoney4258 ben still had more character development than tai
I'm at the 1:22 mark, love to see this Carmine guy, real cool. He seems awsome with a great life ahead of him after you win this war!
For sure! What an incredibly pleasant and not dead guy!
@@Snamwiches 19:30 _😔😥_
Ben’s death hit me hard mainly cuz he was the youngest
ben carmine was prob like 17 or smth when he joined (whats left of) the cogs
@@bruhgod123 he was 18 shits sad
I gotta say your sense of humor and attitude towards the games wven after dying 10 trillion times keeps me coming back. Im a cheev hunter myself but goddamn some of these i could just never put myself through regardless of how good the end result is. Id literally lose 20 years of my life from the stress lmfaoooooooo
I appreciate that a lot man, at the end of the day achievement hunting is fun and I hope that comes across in the videos haha
@@Snamwiches do you plan on doing hardcore mode for gears 4 5 or both? (ironman mode)
Wow what a bootlicker "lmfaoooooooo"
@@Snamwiches
I aim to make Metro Exodus my first 100% game on Xbox, wish me luck with collectibles, Ranger Hardcore and Child of the Forrest
One of my favorite games of all time! The campy fun in games of that time was something special in hindsight. Hyped to see you go through it and relive it again
Tbh the last time I played this was back in 2010 so I forgot everything. Genuinely forgot how good a game this is (besides the fish)
@@Snamwiches THAT FISH WAS SO ANNOYING WHEN I COMPLEATY HARDCORED THE GAME but i don't think that's as bad as INSANITY F I S H
When I did the fish I spent about an entire day trying to figure out how to do damage to it before trying to enter it's mouth at all
@@skull1941 Same thing man it took me MOUTHS or WEEKS to do it.
Loved this series of games I do miss competitive gears a lot I remember playing cod or gears gamebattles every weekend in high school. Being the best wall bouncing guy in every I knew was great when we had weekly 1v1 tournaments to see who paid for gas that week in my friend group. For 3 years I rarely paid for gas in my truck.
Playing through this and Gears 1 with my friends as 8 year olds in one sitting on Insane, while rotating shifts of the two controllers are core memories of mine
I can not overstate how much this video game series is my favorite of all time. They are so good… SO good…
Me too I beat every gears game
To make future runs not as painful for everyone else.
1) Kantus are pains but they aren't as bad so long as you take out the tickers
2) gorgon pistols are great against wretches and tickers.
3) use a boom shield when possible.
4) avoid everything that snam does.
*Avoids playing Gears on Insane mode*
Gears 2 isn't even that bad. My opinion it is the best game in the series. Just from the short snips it looked like he was playing far too aggressively. Wait till he does gears 4. It has some ridiculous sequences and the checkpoints are horrendous. Juvies completely ruin being able to use cover. And the wave sequences are just crazy hard in some places.
Can’t wait to see gears 3 and the bridge of doom. I remember going through that with some buddies and it was so overwhelming with gunkers and lambent. Good luck on it.
I just finished binge watching your videos yesterday, so this is perfect timing. Love your attitude and sense of humour!
You're playing games that I would literally never but it's still so interesting haha.
That’s awesome to hear! Wanna try and make these as accessible as possible even to people that haven’t played the game before
Your Channel got recommended to me randomly, brought back the great memory of gears of war, and the great memories of when my father was still alive and he’d catch my brother and I grinding co-op at 12am, first time I played this game I was like 7-8 years old, now I’m 20. I hope your channel grows exponentially, it’s crazy to see a channel with 21 videos at 186k, you’re gonna do great
164k but hopefully by the time someone reads this it’s 186
@@kylestamm8442 240k actually
@kyle stamm I'm 22 but I used to play this and the first gears with my dad after church every Sunday
I actually just finished every one on hardcore for the memories and a couple achievements
@braxtondavis393 that's wholesome as fuck mate
This is the best game ever. Plot, characters, enemies, map design, the gritty graphics, the nostalgia THE MUSIC. Watching this near makes me want to cry because this shit was my childhood
its not as gritty as GoW 1
@@bruhgod123 yeah but I still liked it more because there was more guns, more enemies, cooler enviroments(new hope, inside of worm, nexus, snowy area etc)
more variety(reaver hijack, brumak hijack, torture barge hijack, assault derrick sequence, riding the centaur to nexus etc. Gow 1 was good but mostly the same minus a couple parts
Both halo 2 and Gow 2 had the best level design of the trilogy @@edtheangler4930
Gears of War 2 is one of the best videogame sequels of all time if we compare it to the first game (which was already great).
Also 15 years later it still has one of the most brilliant, tragic cutscenes I've ever seen in a videogame: Dom finding Maria. Gives me chills and gets me a bit emotional every time. Homie goes through multiple stages of grief in about a minute.
I was 10 watching that scene and shed a tear. I know it’d kill me now.
Well said brother
the third is underrated, it perfected the second in everything
oh man, Carmine's death hit me the most. I loved how goofy he was
Man, insane in this game is so much fun, its my favorite game in the series as well. The atmosphere of these decrepit ruins and labs to the colossal underground alien looking caverns and castles. So many great memories. And for some reason i personally find Gears 1 a bit harder, have no idea why.
Because it is.
This man dedication is on a different level
Hi snam, i missed you
Hi Bamba I missed y’all too, 50 min videos take waaaaay too long to edit haha
@@Snamwiches worth the wait, much love man
@@Snamwiches they are worth it! I would love for you to have time to do weekly uploads but I get the time requirement for these achievements in the first place.
@@Snamwiches You know you have to do GTAV 😅❤ HUUUUGE CHALLENGE
Massive balls
i love how Anthony & Benjamin Carmine are just your run of the mill basic grunt & then there’s Clayton Carmine, who’s built like mack truck & is the same size as Marcus Fenix 😂😂 i can see why the brothers suffered the fates they did
The reason average gears like Anthony and Benjamin are small and NCOs like Marcus and Clayton are big is because the cog started putting steroids and growth hormones in the food of the higher ranking gears since the average human is much weaker and smaller than even a basic locust drone
@@diffsnickerWait Did they retcon the Lore? I thought the reason why COG were so built was because Seras gravity is twice that of Earth so everyones naturally bigger.
The reason Clayton survives Gears 3 is necessary Epic games left it to the fans to decide in a poll, majority voted for him to survive
@@prich0382 i voted for it like 6 times, wasn’t gonna let another carmine fall victim to the grubs. still own & wear my clayton carmine hot topic shirt too.
rest in pepperonis Ben Carmine 💀
Your videos are so interesting to me because you have a REALLY solid format here. I love the mix of "CZcams voice" when you describe the general events of what happened and then having the clips from the stream itself. Keep up the great work, love the vids
I saw your video on beating the first game and it inspired me to go back through 1-3 and to play through them on insane. I simply thank you for reminding me how much I miss gears of war and have been waiting for you to upload more of this amazing franchise
"resulting in the worst drive in history since jfk" got me
my absolute favourite channel at the moment, i found you when you uploaded re2 (it's my fave game series) and have watched every video since and am currently rewatching them all. the editing, your attitude, your humour and the games are all absolutely top tier and even through (what i know myself as an achievement hunter) uninaginable pain, your joy is just infectious and truly makes me feel calm and happy through some v tumultuous times. i'm not really someone who comments on yt often, but i just felt that you needed to know how appreciated you and your content are, thank you smam, you're my new comfort youtuber 💞
Love your vids. Got alot of patience for these acheivements than I would ever have...😂
The fart sound during that emotionally driven cutscene threw me off so hard ☠️
Honestly, one of the most consistent and interesting content creators I’ve come across.
Your videos are edited amazingly, and your sheer grit always surprises me.
Excited for more things to come!
Man! these were the days boys !!! Also i remember achievement hunting a long time ago for seriously 2.0 and the best way is to just keep replaying the last mission riding the brumak
Absolutely love the gears series, thoroughly enjoying watching you go through the agony of insane difficulty, can’t wait to see you play gears 3 🙏
Because of watching your series, I actually went through the first three games with a friend on insane and we just beat gears 3 with a third person which was one of the most fun and difficult experiences in gaming I’ve had in a hot minute. At the end we had 654 deaths in total for gears three and we’re now moving to 4. Thank you for doing this and sparking this idea with my friends and me. 4 will be interesting, considering I found out there is a difficulty beyond insane. God help me and glad to see your vids and streams.
You can always bet that Snam will deliver yet another certified classic. Good shit boi 😎
OMG I loved the "backup backup backup" part hahha Love your videos Snam, keep going
No matter how many times I watch this video, Snam screaming at Dom after beating the Leviathan will never not be funny 😂
Hey snam because of your first gears of war video it inspired me to play the entire gears of war franchise and series and im currently at the very end of the series so far with gears 5 and it does make me feel better to see you pull your hair out like i did when I played gears 1 and 2
I did this run back when the game was new and I thought it was a lot of fun. I loved GOW2, It's my favorite in the series. I'm psyched to see you playing this one. Been looking forward to this since the first GOW video.
very nostalgic to experience this game again, I remember watching my mom and dad go through this together. man this series was great.
This is my first time watching an new video from you. Nothing feels nicer than finding an new good content creator and having loads of videos to watch
As someone who also did these games on insane whilst solo , I salute you for this. Glad to see I’m not the only one who struggled a lot on Rolling Thunder
There’s a trophy in battlefield 3 that’s notoriously hard, it would make for a good video, it’s a sniper mission in coop and it’s extremely difficult you need expert aim and it requires two people. You might get it eventually but trust me it would be a cool video to watch, much harder than mile high club.
It’s called Bullseye, I tried for over 5 hours and couldn’t get it
Wow? Five whole hours? The dedication is second to everyone
you say that like everyone has the time to sit and play a game for days on end becuase they live with mommy
@@rileytruax766 He makes videos on getting hard achievements? What are you on about
Man i rememeber when i completed this when i was like 12, it was pure sweat and a f*ck ton of time put on it, i even remember jumping and going to tell my mom that i did it!, cheers to you for bringing back this memory to me❤️
Glad this game is still active on multiplayer
honestly the only videos i actually get excited to see these days man. I've watch CZcams since i was 12 and do every night. everything lately just seems so stale to me but i found you and have now watched every video and genuinely get excited when i see a new video from you Much love!
It makes me so happy to see these games again. I hope to see you tackle Gears 3 on insane!
Absolutely! And hope to make that video even better than this one!
The final queen fight is the worst fight in the entire video game on insane be ready Snam however since you best AKUMU mode on Evil Within should be a cake walk for you eheh
Somehow, some way, the Dom-Maria scene was one of the few in all games I’ve played that legitimately brought me to tears.
I love how you don't stop with the challenging achievements in these awesome games keep the great content up man:)
Ever since fallowing snamms pro gamer tips my gameplay has improved significantly
It’s amazing how most CZcamsrs look back at their first videos and cringe, but Snam figured out the formula on his first few attempts. Keep it up man!
Right when i made lunch and sat down to scroll youtube to see whats new, ive been blessed with a new snams video. Literally rewatched 2 videos last night. Love the content
bro a 53 minute snam video AND maxor re4 video on the same day??? truly blessed. you have been my only exposure to Gears content (i was too young when it came out and keep forgetting to play it in my adulthood) but im sure for someone who holds these games close to their heart, it was great to see someone have so much fun laying them again. Like me watching your L4D1 & 2 videos. Thank you Snam for always making games fun even in the most frustrating of times. Look forward to the next!
Hardest in the trilogy? Absolutely not. At least not in my experience. 3 has sections that you literally just need to pray to RNGesus that you survive.
when i was very young i owned all 3 of the games and i completely agree, the third was the easiest for me.lul
😂😂😂 the fart sound effect at maria’s cutscene was priceless… messed up- but priceless
YAY! Just checked a couple days ago for a new video and was getting worried. Good to see and will enjoy this with the lads!
Good to see another upload Snam, love the content as usual. Patiently waiting for the next one and hope I can catch a stream sometime.
My favorite game series! Always have a good time and lots of laughs whenever I play Gears of War. Been watching all your videos lately and they’ve been a joy see. Look forward to seeing more videos 🎉
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels, keep up the content man i can't get enough.
Is it odd that I enjoy watching these not just to watch you struggle, but its a nice trip down memory lane for one of my all time favorite titles.
my favorite game out of the franchise. So many memories on gears
have so much nostalgia for this game specifically, first game i got when i got gifted my 360 for christmas, the music sends chills down my spine
I was just sitting down for my lunch break and fortunately, new Snam just dropped. Love your content.
I still don’t understand how you’re so calm during this play through. On my play through of insane difficulty, I legit lost my mind. 😭
Haha, i adore this channel and its content. I have no idea how you stay so smiley when confronted with rage inducing gameplay, but you have my respect.
Great as always! Thank you for continuing to pump out such entertaining content on a regular basis.
Love you, Snam! Keep ‘em coming!
I hope you continue doing all these games! Wonderful series.
Great job man! What a game series to keep doing. Plenty to come i'm sure. Great video as always!
Preciate it brother, you’ve got a good thing going with Far Cry yourself!
@Snamwiches End of an era with FC5 now. Lets find the next series eh! 😅 Looking forward to all videos you announced on your community. Beast mate ✌️
The chainsaw was clutch for during my playthrough when fighting the sires, that and grenades.
You made me look up my achievements on this game. I unlocked the final achievement on 08/10/2010. This video brought back so many memories and so much pain lmao I spent damn near the whole summer 100% this with my friend and brother. The horde achievements were the absolute worst lmao
Dude I gotta say you are like my favorite CZcamsr/streamer at the moment I get so hype when you drop a video and CZcams rarely hypes me anymore. Keep up the great work homie
Mutch love snam its great to see this franchise getting more love i can gladly say iv done every achievement for all 6 gears games
love the return of snams gamer tips, they are invaluable
Snam because of you I've been 100% my fav games... And I love it thank you
Lfgggg that’s awesome dude congrats :)
I remember playing every gears game on insane solo at some point and did gears 5 inconceivable solo. They were never really hard to me either. I did play these a ton online though and I wasn't a kid when these came out. I still remember the midnight launch I went to for this game at game crazy. We all waited around the perimeter of the inside of Hollywood video and waited in line until midnight.
Easily oneof the most entertaining videos I've seen in a while the ending had me cracking up
One of the only achievements I've done myself that you have completed, love your work
hey Snam, just wanted to say that the end of this video reminded me of when I was a youngin, I'd play the final mission over and over. It was so fun! Just riding the Brumak around and smashing everything in sight. Love the videos, thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
I was super into Gears of War as a kid. I'm very early in the video, so I don't know if you adapted and learned certain things, but I have a few pieces of advice for improving your strategies. These apply from Gears 1 through to Judgment, and maybe 4 and 5. I never played those though.
1. Emptying your mag and hitting the action reload is the most optimal method instead of reloading after a few bullets like with most shooters. That damage boost adds up QUICK.
2. Using the Gnasher, rolling into enemies and shooting as soon as possible is an insta-kill on most enemies and a very safe method of doing so. No need to ADS as well since it's a guaranteed gib if you have the camera centered on your target.
3. Letting the AI do most of the dirty work is one of the best ways of handling the early parts of each skirmish. They usually go down in safer spots to revive from early on in each battle.
4. Turret sections are heavily scripted and therefore the easiest to adapt to. Dying a few times is pretty much the only way to learn what moves to make and how.
5. Melee is significantly underrated when it comes to defense. Meleeing then going for a one shot kill with a marksman weapon like the boltok or just using the gnasher in a pickle is a great way to deal with aggressive AI.
6. Blind firing is another underrated defensive move. Making that extra bit of damage without risking a hit is sometimes the difference between going back to the last checkpoint or getting to the next one.
7. Meat shields are super viable, especially when it comes to clearing crowds. Using your grenades with the meat shield kicks them forward, which can also cause enemies to stumble if you're lucky, but they'll blow up all the same.
Hopefully this helps with future cover-humper challenges!
Only problem with these strategies is one, gnasher is useless on insane as 1, sometimes even 2 shots doesn't get the job done. Two, melee is a one hit kill on you on insane and rarely guarantees a kill or even a down, and enemies often melee you right after you melee them. And three, allies rarely go down in a safe spot and are quite useless on gears 1 and 2. Other than that, these are some good strategies.
I’m so glad I’ve found this channel. Love all your videos!!!
Damn you made me remember the pain from doing this game in insane dificulty, great video love yourr content !!!
A very handy tip is to abuse a technique I call “turret reset” when you get on a turret and get off immediately your health resets. The reason I don’t call it a bug is because it’s in most gears games including 4
You're bringing back all my favorite childhood games :D
I missed most of these streams so I was genuinely shocked to see how you managed to screw some of these parts up lmao. Only Snam could do it.
The fact you never used thd chainsaw until chat convinced you boggled my brain lmfao I remember beating this with a friend back in the day. Waaaay easier with a partner lol
Hell yeah, cant wait to watch this after work!
I found this channel from watching a bunch of RDR2 videos lately, and yours was in the recommended. And honestly, I really enjoy it. Even if I'm not a huge achievement hunter. Plus, you seem like a chill dude, and I like that. Subbed. ✌✌
You know, I'm a horrible person as i can't stop watching these video's, its seeing how you are able to die so many times (sometimes to dumb stuff), get stuck for hours and still just laugh it off, its honestly refreshing. Seeing games enjoyed as they should be.
You shouldn't enjoy torturing yourself
Bro that Reaver oneshotting you put of cover is INSANE
6:10 "WHERE IS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE" *During the underground bug man apocalypse that started a literal week after ww1*
😂😂😂😂
Came across your channel, love your humor with this game and the first one.
For grenades you can just use right trigger to lob the grenade instead of swinging it
41:15 aw yes the pillars that fall ten feet down, stop shift to the side another 5 feet, and then continue fallijg down
41:38 and that right there is why i died about 80 times in this fight
oh, something you said reminded me of a gag in a very old cartoon:
"I wonder if that silly duck will remember that he can swim?" [glub glub] "Nope, i guess not!"
later:
"i wonder if that silly duck will remember that he can FLY?" [KA-THUD!] "nope, i guess not!"
Always excited for a new video! I like them before I even watch 😂
No joke when I saw this vid in my feed I went “Yay! Snamiches!”
Love the content dude
Love your vids bro, get really hyped when I see an upload :)
Your patience and positive attitude is inspiring.
It’s a good day when Snam drops video. I remember doing this with a buddy there was a lot of death 😂
Man I really need to catch one of your streams, it looks like so much fun
As frustrating ir can be GOW2 in it's mad crazy difficulty is my fave experience with the franchise. Still, to hell with the fish annd the jumpscare shotgun at 49:37. Great vid!
Lets goooooooo!!!!!!
the game from my childhood. nice to see you here, still look`s sooo good
So glad I lived through the gears trilogy my hat goes off to the creators you guys smashed it.
Awesome as always, Snam! Content always makes laugh.
Love these videos, looking forward to see you play Gears 3!
Super hyped to see Gears 3. I played it to death as a kid and am excited to see it again soon. Awesome job Snam!
