How to unlock the Gears of War 2 cowboy hats easter egg...
Act - Tip of the Spear, Chapter - Rolling Thunder.
This can only be done on insane mode using the pistol. Start the level then immediately select your pistol. Hit the back button to stop Dizzy talking then quickly walk to the back of the truck. Shoot the first cowboy hat hanging on the wall of the building. If you hit it Marcus will say "that's one". Next quickly go to the other side and go up to the turret. Under the Centar tank there is a second hat. Shoot it. Marcus should then say "that's two". Now wait for the third and final hat to go by which is under the second big fuel tank. When Baird starts talking hit the back button again quickly to shut him up so you can shoot. If you hit it Dizzy will yell "Yeehaw!!" and everyone will get a funky cowboy hat :-P. You must hit all three really quickly or else it won't work.
Enjoy your new cowboy hats!.
YEEHAW!
Sorry about the quality but my capture card is a pain in the balls to hook up so I just used my digital camera.
Thanks to Dave Nash aka Nashtyboy (lead level designer GOW2) for the original hint (and causing me and lots of others from the Epic forums to spend hours looking for this!).
