Some of my friends and I decided to play the game again today. And we made it to round 34 and 2 of my friends were gone (One in the bathroom and the other one died) so it was 3 of us left and basically I had 12 Boom Shots (Which is hard to store ammo for) and there were 3 guys left all holding that torq(Spelling?) bow. And they killed us because we got cocky.... Really pissed off about that. Well, anyway I never got to level 50. Has anyone else? How hard is it?

Yeah i beat it. 
The trick is to play the map with the 4 way intersection with the huge hole in the center. Then split up in groups of two and run up the stairs on opposite sides of the map and then kill everyone. 
 
Edit: Day One is the map i was talking about, easiest map to beat horde on seeing you can not get flanked if you use my strategy.

it can get pretty infuriating but it's doable as long as u pick a good map to do horde mode on and stick together. i've done it a few times with some of my friends back when the game first came out.

I did it, best to have at least 3 to make the experience easy.

no, Every since Epic gimped the game by patching it to be like gears of war 1.  Horde is quite hard to beat unless you have 4 players and they are all good and you use problems with the maps so you can't get flanked now, Even on easy.

I got up to wave 45 by myself on Day 1. That was nerve wracking.

I did it before any of the DLC came out.  Its a real time commitment and nobody ever wants to do it now :(

I did all 50 waves in split screen with a friend that lived next door. Wasn't too bad.

none of my friends have the game anymore but i'm down for it if anyone else is. i'm tryin to get my level up in multiplayer but it's no use cuz i haven't played in so long that i'm no good anymore so i'm lucky if i even get 1 kill.

I did this back when the game came out, so I don't know what all the patch stuff is about to make it harder? But the map I used was pavilion, it has an easy place to fall back to and fight the later waves.

Hide in the alcove where the shield spawns. Each round set up your shields at the entrance to this alcove, most enemies will not be able to get through, including boomers of all varieties. Only problem comes when enemies start kicking shields down, but if this happens have one or two players pick up a shield and sit at the entrance with shields up while the other two fire on enemies. Every tenth wave is very difficult when the bloodhound things come out but its manageable.

You mean has anyone made it to round 50 during this whole Torque Bow Tag thing? I can't get my posse to try it, so I sure haven't.

Yep, it's pretty easy on security.

Not in one shot but I did do it.  But now I have to do it on nowhere and a snowblind map for the achievement.  If anyone wants to get a group together preferably while their still giving out 25xp then lets do it.

I made it to level 50 with three friends. Then, at the very end, our connection went all messed up and all but one of us were kicked out of the game with one dude. 3 hours for that. 
 
It was still fun though!

I have made it to 42, still trying lol

I found it was easiest to do on the map Security. You can lock yourself in and they only have 3 points of entry. I've only ever got to 50 on normal.

I'm always teamed with little kills and people who quit after 20 rounds.

Yeah I've been there.done that.got the achievement

I didn't get to level 50 in GoW2 but I was around level 38 it's not that hard just time consuming and you need people that will stay the entire time cause there is always someone that leaves early. If any of you guys in this topic wanna play, add me on Xbox Live my Gamertag is ISuperGamerI thanks.

when me and my friends did horde, we played on security. seemed to be the easiest one for us. i'm game for some horde mode though durin the 25x thing though. my gamertag is MasterShake352 so add me if any of ya wanna play
