Gears of War 2: use the Boom Shield with any weapon
Not willing to pass up any opportunity at an advantage in Gears of War 2 multiplayer, I also couldn’t pass up posting this instructional video on how to exploit a glitch that allows you to carry the Boom Shield while using any weapon. Typically you’re only able to use your wimpy side-arm. Long story short: Stand over the Boom Shield, press B then press X and the weapon selection button you wish to use simultaneously. You can see the actual instructions in the video at 1 minute and 22 seconds.

…Seriously, don’t encourage people like this. Really its ruining the game for everyone.
Hi Ben. We appreciate the comment. That said, you may want to take up the issue with Epic. Us honest gamers will just have to play by the rules. See you online!
