thanks for this, great having images along with it :)

 

can i say one thing tho, i found it much easier to get the cog after you get dom to the building when you shine the light on top of the building for him then shine the light where you need it to pick up the cog because all the lights are on then and mostly if you try before he gets to the building he dies and you have to restart over.

I don't know why i never made a guide for the Cog Tags to be honest, i know exactly where they all are... the amount of people i have helped to get them all by playing co-op! i've lost track.

 

This is a really good Guide alot easier than video guides when you always have to pause and then go get them, great job!
