I need tips for beating General Raam on the "Insane Difficulty" and please not from someone who has beaten it on hardcore and especially not casual. thanks in advance.

ok, first of all, you need to keep cover.
second of all, make sure you kill everyone around him from extreme distance with the torquebow.
last of all, when its just u and raam, take him with the torquebow from extreme distance.

O.k. that's nice but, that doesn't help much. Here's my strategy maybe you can tell me what is wrong. I get full ammo on the torque bow and sniper. I usually take cover behind the starting concrete wall. Then from an "extreme distance" I shoot RAAM in the head with the torque bow and wait for the kryll to fly up. Then I shoot him in the head with the Sniper twice (using active reload). I do this until I run out of ammo. I run to the back to get more ammo for my sniper, but usually from kryll, or play cat and mouse with RAAM. Am I using the wrong guns or does my strateg just blow?

P.S. I barely ever miss any of the head shots and a follow up question, Can you damage RAAM while the kryll are surrounding him?

Oh, and one more question to anyone who has actually beaten it on insane. How many head shots does it take to take him down?

you cant damage raam while the kryll surround him, but stay in the light where the krill cant get you, and throw the grenades at the kryll. when theyre dead, try running past him and tagging him with grenades, or you can headshot him from a lighted area where the krill cant get you.

The turet behind him is wuyt i ild him with

Ok, I did this strategy and got it on my second try:

First off do co-op. Second, you get the torque bow, have your friend get the sniper, and you both stock up on grenades.

Stay behind the first thing at all times, shoot him with the torque bow and sniper until he comes at you, then here's a little trick: YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME OUT OF COVER TO GRENADE TAG HIM. Just stand up and tag him while still behind cover.

Jump back , have your friend tag him. He's dead.

ok here is what you do!! you are right when it comes to the part where you can't damage him when the Kryll are around him so shoot the bow at his stomach and they will desperse. Then get the sniper outand snipe his brains out!! then if he gets too close then run to the other side of the train car and just keep doing the same technique!!!It will take him down like that-*snap*
