As you most likely read previously, my friends and I made the Top 100 on the Horde leaderboards in Gears of War 2. We really should have been satisfied with that, but no, we decided to go for more. Tonight we just finished our attempt at playing through on hardcore difficulty. Unfortunately we didn’t make it all the way through all 50 waves. We died on wave #48. Our final score though moved us up to #15-19 on the leaderboards.

If we had managed to finish out all 50 waves we probably could have taken the top spot. Maybe we’ll attempt it again in the future, but it’ll probably be a long wait. The hardcore play through took us just over eight hours, with a few short breaks, by the time we failed wave #48. It’d probably take an additional hour or so to make it through wave 50.
