Well, got bored and started fiddling around with GOW again.
I've had this "mod" for a long time and it's been changing only a bit in the past. Thought I'd share it.


Cheat Mod for Gears of War (PC)
*******************************
Installation:
Place the text file (Mod.txt) into your default GOW binaries folder.
Example:
C:\Program files\Microsoft Games\Gears of War\Binaries\
Then, in game, open up the console (usually the tilde key) and type:
exec Mod.txt
***
Effects in game:
-increased health to all allies and Marcus, thus only the chainsaw can kill you as it is an insta-kill weapon.
-Increased clip size, ammo capasity amd how much there is of it, so you won't run out of it ever again.
-Weapons have been tweaked to be a little stronger (some more accurate, some have a larger explosion radius, some have higher ROF etc).
-Headshots deadlier, but other bodyparts tougher.
-You can get to cover from a longer distance.
-Active reload's easier to get and Perfect Active Reload damage boost bonus is a lot better now and lasts longer plus your buddies use it too.
-Tweaks to AI; they can do new tricks...
-Other minor tweaks that you can look into later.
***
NOTES!
A)
Achievements are deactivated by the use of this cheat mod (or any cheat mod for that matter), but look
on the bright side, atleast it won't crash your game like most trainers do.
B)
Some of the commands aren't always located in a certain level
(the one you're in at the moment when you activate the mod for instance)
So you might have to re-activate the mod with the command, but they stay on in the rest of the levels.
C)
The mod deactivates after either going back to the main menu or by restarting the game.
D)
If you can't get the console to work then try editing the Warinput.ini file in your
Username\My Documents\My games\Gears of War for Windows\Wargame\Config folder, specifically these lines:
[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde <--Which key the console is
TypeKey=Tilde <--Should be the same as the console key!!
bEnableUI=True <--This needs to be set to TRUE
E)
If you have a Gold LIVE account then either disable it or make a new account (silver or local) to use the
Commands, I noticed difficulties when using a gold account and commands.
***
You can look into the mod.txt file for more details and even some info on how to tweak it yourself!
***
But if you have any questions then you can just type them here and I'll try to come back regulary to answer them.

Hi~Caboose666!
It is very cool, great work!
I have a quetion to ask you,
is it work coop mode with cheat codes?
It doesn't work when I press cheat console(~)and type exec mod.txt.
I think it is for single player only? Right?

I haven't tried it with Coop, It might work if both players have it and activate it at the same time, though I don't think so...

I read through what was posted here, and I recently picked the game back up. I am trying to get the cheats to work but they don't seem to do anything. I get the drop down CLI screen, but when I enter the exec command nothing happens. Anyone have any issues like this? I also tried the individual cheats to see if they work, and none of them seem to work.

Oh and no doubt you can guess I have both updates downloaded. I don't suppose the second update stopped the console feature?
