    What difficulty are you going to play on for the campaign? I'm heading straight for Insane myself, and you?

    Insane on Co-op,I rarely ever play games on anything less than the highest difficulty,they're just too easy in this day and age.

    Insane on co-op first.  If I have to beat the game on a lower difficulty to play on Insane (like in the first one) then I'll play Hardcore first.

    Probably hardcore will be harder since there is 4 difficulty level and I think Cliff  said that hardcore will as hard as insane in the first Gears.

    We won't have an Insane difficulty setting to start with, I don't believe, so I'll be doing Hardcore on co-op.

    I actually just saw another interview with Cliffy B. He said that there are going to be four difficulty modes. Casual, Normal, Hardcore and Insane.

    Hulk play highest difficulty possible first with friends.  Then Hulk either run through again on Insane with them or do it solo.

    I wonder how many players online co-op will be?  We've heard multiplayer is 6 people per team, and the 360 Picture pack had 7 characters...If it makes anything easier I'd love to play Insane Co-Op like that.

    I'll probably just start out on casual and work my way up to insane just like with the original.

    I'll start on casual then work my way up.

    I remember I played the first GoW at a mates in co-op a few times, so when I finally got a 360 I thought 'This'll be no problem, I'll go straight through hardcore' and I got freakin annihilated because I just wanted to power through the game and story (which I hope is more developed, would like a bit more background to the events). So I'll play it safe this time and start on casual, then work my way up. Plus, since I don't have online for 360, it gives me more reason to go back and play :)
