I just hope it isnt a huge Crimson Omen on the wall locating them. maybe a small one. It kinda gives them away. Plus they could put in acheivements for when you collect 10, 20 and then finally 30 tags.

There one or two of the omens that were easy to see from, but that seems fine with me. If anything, I rather not have the omen at all. Make it difficult to actually seek all of them.

Don't be a tool. This isn't some open-ended environment like Saints Row or Crackdown, Gears is very linear and you are always restricted to a single path. I've only completed the entire Gears campaign around 10 times, 4 times to help people, and not one of the COG tags would I consider hard to find. You just need to look in corners, when there is a boss battle, there's likely to be a COG tag inside or before it.

I hope they do take away the crimson COG and place the tags in better locations.

I never said they were "hard to find" in my post, kid. All I pointed out was that there is no need to make finding the tags any more challenging. It's not a required part of the game, and is just a fun-to-do sidequest throughout your experience.

Maybe Epic should focus their efforts on improving the overall quality of the game, instead of wasting their time on "placing the tags in better locations".

He said he liked the way they were done and didn't think they were too hard. Why call him a tool if he was agreeing with what you said?

People should learn things from bans Woudo.

I really can't see why you'd want to make the cog tags much harder to find. As you said Woudo, you found them all by looking around in corners, before boss battles and the like. If you weren't looking there, you wouldn't have found them. That's the kind of difficulty we need, rather than having it cripplingly hard to find them, and needing to use some guide to get them all.

I think he means if you weren't actually searching for COG tags you probably wouldn't have found them all, which is right, some of them are off in dark corners or you have to go out slightly of your way to get them.

Oh ok.
Wait, is that good or bad?

COG tags aren't just some thing you are supposed to just look over and see like Ammo Boxes. You shouldn't be able to go through Gears and collect 25+ without looking.
Besides, it encourages exploration.

OK, I'll explain, by having them a little bit out of the way they aren't really that easy but aren't that hard either, it's a good balance.

I collected 12 my first run through, I usually explore every little corner anyways trying to find weapons and stuff.

In short, if you are playing just to beat the game, you will miss most.

If you are activly looking for them, you will find them without much trouble.

I hope they return, but when you're playing co-op (and I think this applies to single player too), I hope if you already have them they won't appear there unable for pickup.

I remember having 29/30 and going through the entire game with my friend to find the last one. It was the one in the beginning of Act 4, behind the stairs. Never would've looked there

there will be 50 in GOW2.. just kidding
