In fact, during a curb stomp you can reload your gun. since you cannot take damage while you are stomping someones face this is a very good time to reload, come out of your animation and continue battle.
To get the achievement killing three enemies at once ten times, go to the stage Act 3 - Evolution and locate the area of the Imulsion plant where the guy gets killed when he falls through the rotten wood floor.
Take along at least one grenade and simply follow the dead guy down a hole (or any hole, if you step in the wrong spot). Run around the cellar until you think you have enough enemies following (meaning at least three running after you), tag one with a grenade melee attack.
If you die, that's perfect, since you restart right at the checkpoint of that room and do it again. Achievement progress are independent of game progress. If not, reload the checkpoint and do it again.
The bow carrying player should have at least ten arrows. The Torque Bow is the only weapon other than the grenades that will hurt the boss seriously when he has his Kryll shield. The explosion of the tips will also send the Kryll flying, allowing your partner to get in a nice head shot with the sniper rifle for a good one-two combo.
Wretches are most annoying since they swarm your soldier and kill him almost instantly on medium and hard. The best method to deal with them is with a shotgun or the alien repeater, since those weapons let you slug them without the dangerous downtime of the chainsaw.
The shotgun is the best for the in-close situation, since you can forego the left trigger and hip fire the shotgun quickly to catch the wretches as they hop around. Smacking them if they get close is the only way to counter, short of using A to dodge.
When you are pitted against the Corpser in the Act 3 mines, there's a quick way to win. The Lancer's (chainsaw rifle) constant stream of fire makes it the weapon of choice here. Shoot at the belly of the Corpser, working any angle you can between its legs.
You'll back it up onto a platform with two destructable joints. They're lit up and on the ground. Shoot them both and the Corpser will plunge into the Imulsion liquid. If you're quick enough you can kill the corpser before any wretches arrive.
After entering the arena, stay behind the wall you ended the cut scene with. This is important because you need to maintain your distance from Raam. Also, it helps to command Don to "cease fire." This will make him run back towards you keeping him alive longer to distract Raam.
To defeat the Beserker at the end of act one, simply dive to the side when she charges at you. Run through the doorway to your right and continue to the door at the end of the room and face your back to it. Get the Berserkers attention by shooting at her or revving the chainsaw then, dive away at the last moment when she charges causing her to break the door down for you.
Continue this to get through the next two doors. When you finally lure her into the courtyard simply use the Hammer of Dawn twice to take her down. If Dom is killed the mission is over, so revive him if he's knocked down.
The second one in Act 4 is defeated similarly. Defeating the second berserker. There are six stone supports for the second part of the greenhouse. Lead the berserker through the six supports, you will see glass dropping from the ceiling. Once all six supports have been taken out, two shots with the Hammer of Dawn will crisp her.
In the second chapter of the game, you'll be swarmed by enemy kryll if you so much as set foot in the dark. To avoid being attacked, stay in the light at all times. When there's no light in sight, look for propane canisters you can blow up to create some flames that'll scare off the kryll.
Unlike most games, you can regain all of your health in Gears of War without the need for health packs. Simple stay in cover for a few seconds and watch as the bright-red gear in the center of the screen fades away. When the gear has comlpetely disappears, your health will be completely full.
When reloading your weapon, watch the upper-right corner of the screen for a meter that counts down. Press the reload button a second time when the meter's moving bar matches up with the stationary bar. This will give you a super fast reload and put you back in the fight quicker than normal. However, if you mis-time the second button press your reload will take longer than normal.
When fighting wretches--the small, shrieking enemies that don't use weapons--attack with melee strikes. The best melee strikes come from weapons other than your grenades and Lancer chainsaw rifle. The chainsaw attack is too slow to combat the swarming wretches, so stick to quick-hit melee punches for instant kills.
There are thirty hidden Cog Tags scattered throughout the game. They're small and sometimes hard to find, but there's a a mark you can look out for that'll make finding the Cog Tags easier. Look for large, red Gear logos pasted on the walls--if you find a room with this large Gear logo, examine the room and you're sure to find a Cog Tag somewhere.

Once there, stick as close to Dom as possible for the duration of the battle. A sign that you're doing it correctly will be Dom saying "Yo!" to you. For the rest of the battle, Dom will be squirming around and dodging in and out of cover. try your best to stay as close to him as possible.
After the dream sequence, wait for the cinematic of the raven crashing. Once Marcus wakes up, he will now be wearing Dom's beard! Every character in the game will have it from this point on. An interesting note to this Easter egg; characters in game will be wearing the beard until you die. Once you reload from a checkpoint, the characters outside of cinematics will lose their beard. Though, once a cinematic happens the characters will have their beards back, this time in their natural hair color (Anya has a blonde beard, Marcus has a black beard etc).
In Act 4-1, make your way through the stage until you pass both the piano drop trap and the spinning machine gun trap. Keep left and around the corner and look for a building a with a tree growing in it and red graffiti that says "No Hope No Victory No Safty [sic]." By the graffiti is a window. Look through it and you can see a helmet in the distance among the rubble. Shoot this with your pistol and an explosion nearby will reveal a door into the building. Inside is an arcade machine. You can kick this a few times using the prompt to play it!
In Act 101, when you get to the deck area with the first COG Tag (you pass through this area twice to play the video clip), there are three large cylindrical pipes on the sides of the area. You can approach these and hit X to shout into them. Shout into all three to make a giant, fire-breathing golden chicken appear. Really.
1 Start a new game in Act 4-1 and avoid all of the Ash people.2 When you reach the tower, stop by the gated area before talking to Griffin for the first time.3 Press X where the Chicken with the Pirate Hat is standing.4 In Act 4-2, walk up to the car with ammo on it and watch it fall.5 In Act 4-2, walk up to the ammo crate at the end of some railroad tracks.6 In Act 4-3, walk up to an ammo crate on top of a box and a barrel. Press X and it should fall.
On Mercy, set up a game (preferably with a friend and no bots) and head to the chapel in the south. On a platform along the back wall under a stained-glass window holds a few books. The trigger for this Easter egg is the sound of bells tolling. This may happen randomly, but for the video below it happened at around the five minute mark (5:37 to be precise). A photo of Dominic Santiago and Maria Santiago will suddenly appear when the bells toll. Shoot this picture and you'll hear an audio clip of Dom crying.
Head up the stairs in the tower area and look through the boards and chains and you'll see a fire. Shoot the Ash People in the foreground and the fire will be revealed -- it's a pig roast! Shoot the handle to rotate the spit.
On Act 2 Chapter 4, Trench Run, when you enter the area with all of the Tickers in cages (the 'Pet Store') clear out all of the enemies and then look for a boarded up area with a Ticker painted on it by the entrance door. Near this is a yellow light. Approach it and hit X when prompted to see a hidden cutscene.
2) In the Electronics section, there's an open door with rubble behind it by all the TVs. Shoot the box that is now open on the other side of the doors. This makes a Fire Extinguisher appear. Grab it. This also sets another Fire Alarm on fire in the Pharmacy.
5) Shoot the Red Hat in the window between the Pharmacy and Checkout areas. It will explode. This will set a car on fire near the green 'Closing Down Sale Everything Must Go' sign. Also, a scythe will appear in the hands of a mannequin to the left of the Flaming Car by the exit.
7) Enter the bathroom and look on the ceiling for the Scythe. Shoot it and it will recede into the ceiling. Now a Flaming Microwave has ignited in the Electronics area.
In Act1, Chapter 2, just past the checkout portion of the grocery store you'll come to the Sporting Goods section. In here is a Cole Train 'Thrashies' poster with a button that activates an audio recording. Next to this is a hat Cole can wear. A later cutscene shows him losing it.
