Gears of War 2 - Chapter 4: Tenuous Footing

At the start of the chapter, look behind a broken wall on the street to find collectible (1/2). head for the cliff and follow it to the right to enter a crane. The crane has a wooden platform hanging from it that we will use to transport Dom to the next area. Lower the platform and bring it to the left, it is good to set it down in line with what looks like a broken bridge sitting above some twisted girders along the cliff. When Dom jumps on, swing him over all the way to the right, past the other crane and drop him down on the top of the building below. Kill all the locust that chase after Dom when he ascends the ramp and he will attempt to use the other crane.

It will fall, creating a bridge that you can cross to regroup. Continue down the ramp to the rooftop you dropped Dom on, killing all the grappling drones that jump onto the platform. Follow the path to the right here and a shield mauler will come at you. Finish him off and a reaver will land on a raised platform just to your left. Let him have it, then continue down the ramp. As you continue around the corner to your left, you will hear tickers coming. Take them out and then quickly fire on the flamer that follows.

Make your way through the building to your left and head down the ramp to the next rooftop, kill the tickers here and then defend yourself from grapplers that jump onto the roof for a short while and then it will collapse. When you reach the bottom, Marcus will have a quick chat to control about the current situation. When you are able to move freely again head up to the window in front of you and take cover. Kill the flame boomer and the drones as they attack then vault through the window, explore the right side of the immediate area for collectible (2/2) and then head down the ramp at the back of the structure.

As you reach the bottom of the ramp you will be attacked from below. Take cover here or on the next room to your right and kill the drones until a piece of the building to the right collapses, giving you a route down. Continue down the ramp here and finish off any locust survivors. Once that's complete, find your way to the large wire structure at the back right of this rooftop. Look behind it to find a pair of cables. Using the lancer, cut the cables and you will create a bridge to the next area. Continue across the bridge for a quick cut-scene.

When you regain control, walk forward and round the corner to the left. Kill the kantus here and any grapplers that find their way onto the platform. Once everything is dead, the building to the left will collapse a little and the rubble will give you access to the next area. Inside the building here, you will see another quick cut scene and be able to wander around for a little while, until the building collapses. When it finally does and you can move again, vault the counter in front of you and follow Dom to the left, past the fires and turn left again, vault over two counters and use the button on the wall in front of you to call an elevator. Vault inside and run to the far end for cover.

When the door opens, jump out and continue along the walkway, rolling under the brumaks chain gun fire. Vault through the window at the end and hang a left. Continue along this path until you can vault onto a ledge on the left. Kill the drone here to finish the chapter.
