Eight Deadly Sins of Gears 2's Horde mode

by Dustin Burg { Oct 7th 2008 at 4:45PM }

Are you aware of the seven deadly sins? No, no, not those deadly sins, we're talking about the ~~Seven~~ Eight Deadly Sins of Gears of War 2's Horde mode, which our OXM pals just posted.

OXM's list of Horde deadly sins was formed after recently getting a chance to try out Gears 2's ~~four~~ five player co-op Horde mode and each sin comes across as sound advice. Horde mode advice that not only will save you from being called a "n00b" or "bag of loser dust", but advice that could potentially aid in your team's Horde mode success. You can read all eight deadly sins after the jump, but we just have to point out our two favorites. Number two "Thou Shalt Not Hang Around In The Spawn Zones Like A Douche" and number five "Thou Shalt Not Go All OCD And Take Every Ammo Box" sound spot on to us.

Why do they say "After the jump" but there is nothing after the jump?

Dustin Burg @ Oct 7th 2008 4:58PM

After the jump refers to clicking to the news source. Not to be confused with after the break, which refers to clicking the "continue" link at the bottom of the post for more information.

Dustin, why are the Read/Source links on the Weblogs Network ridiculously small and hard to find?

john paul @ Oct 7th 2008 7:29PM

I really don't think that's a question Dustin can answer. That's more of a question for the web designers of Weblogs inc.

The Source link may be small, but you can always click on the post's image. It links to the Source URL.

isnt Horde mode 5 player co-op?

john paul @ Oct 7th 2008 5:22PM

That is correct.

john paul @ Oct 7th 2008 7:30PM

ooo i see what you mean....

myabsolution @ Oct 7th 2008 5:30PM

Dustin, I thought horde mode was five player? Or am I mistaken.

Dustin Burg @ Oct 8th 2008 1:25AM

Correct.

joeybeast @ Oct 7th 2008 5:34PM

Doesn't this pretty much apply to any co-op game?

Nice, good tips. It should be required to read this and accept its terms before playing horde mode as there will no doubtedly be 10 year old running around taking all the ammo then dying in the far end of the map trying to mortar right next to him, only to screw the rest of his team. I can see it now: Friends only.
