Does everyone remember the sheer dread that filled your soul when you heard a Boomer coming in Gears 1?

I have great memories of playing on insane with my Mate, and battling the Boomers was intense.

In gears 2 & 3 they were nothing.

Ya you knew your knee deep in shit when you heard boooom!!!!!! Boooom!!!!!!

LOL yeah and they would always appear after you'd killed 20 or so enemies right before a checkpoint.

No harder than drones now! bastards I want old boomers back

nightmare game haha remember the part b4 carmine dies ohhh used ta bug me how hard it was , and the wretchs on the train b4 raam

Yep I remember this! Not good how games seem to be getting easier all the time!

every game thats out now pales in difficulty to proper old school games :p

I was thinking games are too easy these days but then maybe it's us just getting better over the years since the genre you mainly play the games will more or less become predictable, familiar and easier to play (excluding multiplayer of course).

Going to go of topic here but Left 4 Dead 2 was a killer game, I tried hundreds of times with friends, on my own, with randoms to get the achievement for doing just one level (or chapter whatever it was) on expert mode, just couldn't do it and that's because it was so un predictable and random everytime you played it.

thats because of the AI in that game made it do so
