Gears of War difficulties

Is it just me or is Gears of War really that hard? I'm in my 30's and have loved games since the ZX Spectrum and Manic Miner

But I am just totally RUBBISH at Gears Of War. I normally get by, have done well with the Call of Duty titles and Halo on Xbox but Gears is Hacking me off now.

One for you youngsters I think ........


in response to the above
well i am 56 and struggled like hell with this one .Finally got to the last section in chapter 5 but can I kill that Raam general ? Can I hell! Its been driving me nuts this game has .In some episodes i have been killed 20 times or more before downing the bugger - be it boomer berserker or whatever

I feel old because of all the high pitched ten year old Americans trust me get a party and stick on party chat so much easier on the ears and you can concentrate more. I really must get back into Gears but I have so much to play, given up on level 100 but I suppose 1 mil xp a year will get me there in the end
