In spite of the immense popularity enjoyed by its predecessor, Gears of War 2 hasn't been able to climb atop the Xbox Live activity charts. Perhaps a few more Achievement points will change things up. Xbox.com has an updated list of Achievements for the game, bumping up the available Gamerscore to 1175. All of the new Achievements require a title update and both the Flashback and Combustible Map Packs.
- Skeletons in your Closet (20G) - Complete waves 1 through 10 on all Flashback Map Pack maps in Horde (any difficulty)
- More Mystery, Less History (15G) - Win a multiplayer match on each of the 5 Flashback Map Pack maps (any mode except Wingman)
- Bound by a Shared Past (15G) - Win a Wingman match on each of the 5 Flashback Map Pack maps
- Trial by, and on, Fire (20G) - Survive first 10 Horde waves on Combustible Map Pack maps as a team
- The Roof! The Roof! The Roof... (15G) - Win a multiplayer match on each of the 3 Combustible Map Pack maps (any mode except Wingman)
- Forged in the Fire (15G) - Win a Wingman match on each of the 3 Combustible Map Pack maps
- Annex: Now With Execution Rules (75G) - Win an Annex match on each Flashback and Combustible Map Pack map (public matches only)

One more map pack confirmed.

Obie @ Jan 20th 2009 10:14AM

Am I the only one who thinks it's a little unfair that you have to have the new map pack just to get achievements on the flashback maps?
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Jan 20th 2009 11:20AM
Well you can still get 3 of them if you have already Flashback.If you ask me I hate map achievements and I promise myself never play anything with matchmaking ever.

I'm sure you're not the only one, but I happen to think it's perfectly ok.
Look at it the other way: doesn't it make sense that when you pay for DLC it would come with new achievements?
WiredKnight @ Jan 20th 2009 2:00PM
Oh yea it totally should, but I don't think they should rely solely on what I already own.

-Be disappointed by the fact Gears of War 3 won’t be very different.

Those are some pretty lame new achievments, some of the worst i've seen.
Do 1-10 in horde
Do wingman on this map or another...
Who really can be bothered to play Horde again on different levels just to get achievements.
Last time GOW1 was given a new mode, therefore there were annex achievements as an incentive.
But this is just very lazy of Epic who released a fundermentally broken multiplayer in the first place. How about you patch that, or better yet don't release it broken before you expect us to go buying more content. Which since it comes out so soon after the game hitting retail means it was clearly intended for the game and cut out for extra MSPoints.
Epic now suck just as heartily as Bungie,
xFenixKnightx @ Jan 20th 2009 4:27PM
FUCK ACHIEVEMENTS, I WANT MY DAMN PATCHES!!!!!!
