99% of the talking occurred between Fenix and the other three guys.

Also, Raam's name is listed in the Versus Option Menu, where you select your "preferred" Locust character during an MP match.

My friend brought a 360 yesterday. As in the other thread, his 360 was DOA. He was disappointed, so I bought over my 360 so he could play some GOW.
I went to the restroom while he finished hooking up my 360. When I came back, he was playing GOW. I thinking oh no, I asked, "did you just start a new game?" He said, "yes." 8-10 hours on hardcore just went down the drain. There are worst things that could happen, I guess.

Yeah that is a little over halfway. But you didn't actually loose any of your progress. Just load the checkpoint that you were on and select the hardcore difficulty. The whole continue option is just a convenience that means very little. There is a little indicator next to the act checkpoints that show what difficulty you beat it on.

You didn't lose anything, just do the Select Chapter bit and start your game where you left off. Each section of the game is individually marked (marked = you beat it on hardcore, not marked = you beat it on casual.) so you can pickup exactly where you left off.
And yeah, you still have a long way to go.

Well I got my first taste of co-op last night thanks to DVDVampire. I was already one step away from getting on the train when we hooked up on HC. I have to say if the rest of co-op gaming can be this fun then why bother single play anything. We're going co-op on Insane from start and it's brutal.

I don't think this is spoiler material, but just in case...
Spoiler:
But I played a little more the other night and it seemed like I was enjoying the level design more.

Also, FUCK

I love this game but it's really pissing me off. I thought I was going to try a harder setting after finishing but the frustration concerning the above is giving me a headache so i may just put it away for month or two if I finish my current game.
