Being a huge Gear-head, I know the names of the weapons and enemies, and I (ignorantly) assume others do as well.

Last night I played Horde mode with some friends, including Xbox Canada's Jaken Bear.  Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but when I yelled "Bloodmount to the left door" none of them knew what I was talking about.  When they yelled "Laser-bugs near the pointy gun" I didn't know what they were talking about.

I thought I'd get us all on the same page...


Ticker

aka Laser Bug
aka Beetle Bomb


Carmine

aka Robot-face


Theron Guard

aka Teeth-face


Kantus Priest

aka Opera-Man


Grenadier

aka Cone-Head


Bloodmount

aka Car


Grinder

aka Trashcan-head


Gorgon Burst Pistol

aka Pointy Gun


Baird

aka Frosted Tips

 

The next time you are playing Horde mode, and someone yells "Frosted Tips, lookout, two Teeth-face and a Car are behind you", you can understand (and then correct) them.

For those souls who want to know the real names in Gears of War 2, head over to the official site!
