Looks good. December 13th can't come soon enough!!

[The Pants Party]

Source? I don't see these on Epic's Community website, forums or Facebook page.

They look about what Epic would do though.

[Facial La Fleur]

I wonder if for "Zeta Team, Go! – Complete waves 1 – 10 of Horde with 5 players as Zeta (Barrick, Tai, Minh, Valera, and Jace). (75 points)" if each player must be a different character or if it counts as long as everyone is someone from Zeta Team even in multiples. Nobody wants to be Jace.

[The Pants Party]

Haha, Jace does suck. Such a shitty replacement for Dom during the campaign. The way it reads though, it does sound like everyone would have to be a unique character. Kind of like "Originality" in Dead Island.

[Blerbman]

I lol'd so hard at "Foreshadowing". Too bad no one plays as Kim. I'm the only person I know who actually likes him, haha.

Dude, I like playing as Kim too. That makes 2 of us. I guess that also means everyone playing as RAAM will be gunning for us. Look out!

Now can Kims get bonus XP for fending off attacking RAAMs? That would give people actual incentive to play as Kim.

[Sith Lord EDP]

They should have made Foreshadowing "Or get executed by Raam as Kim" that way people would have more incentive to play as Kim making it easier to find them online.

Don't like the 4 player co-op cheeves, but... no big deal. Killing COG with Kryll = priceless.

[CHICHO]

The foreshadowing cheevo is stupid. The rest are gnar though.

[The Bum-Mobile]

Not liking how the DLCs all have these "entire-team play as ______" achievements. I shouldn't be complaining. The DLCs overall are great and they're just achievements. I'd bet that there will be a similar achievement in the next pack.

[NoMaD DiSTuRBeD]

What's with all these bloody Horde achievements. Surely they could've come up with more for the Campaign part of this DLC. Am I the only one who thinks Horde sucks?

[AngelBetrayed19]

As I get in "Zeta Team, Go!" achievement, each player has to be a different character right ?

[The Pants Party]

Yeah, one of each.

Properly not, I think Horde is a game which you definitely need to play with friends rather than random people for it to be enjoyable to some.

sucks is a little strong. it can be fun in EXTREMELY small doses. it gets stale quickly

[Rocket]

Ok...

On my Xbox when I look at achievements:

Foreshadowing
As RAAM, excute Minh 10 times in Versus MP (Standard or Casual)

On Xbox.com when I look at achievements

Foreshadowing
As RAAM, made sure Minh never forgets that day outside the House of Sovereigns.


I'm sure the others are a bit different too in wording. So I'm guessing, that what is listed on Xbox.com is what the achievement will say when it's unlocked, and what it is saying on the Xbox is what you have to do to unlock it...

I don't think Horde sucks but I do think that EPIC making Horde achievements for every single DLC in Gears 2 and now Gears 3 sucks. Because now not only is it annoying but it just is so repetitive to see those achievements again.

[HalfEVILmonkey]

so we have to be RAAM, then hope some idiot picks Minh as his skin, and then actually get an execution on him in a public game? And then do it nine more times? Sounds awesomely sh*tty.

[xThaSOULESSonEx]

Zeta Team Go is going to be the most annoying of the achievements just to get coordinated with 4 other people

[WeemanNewYork]

New achievements listed does not look that bad.

Just do what I plan on doing. find 2 friends and 2 of us will sign in idle guests.

[Da_Big_D__]

I guess I'm the only one dreading doing Foreshadowing? Not only do I not like being pigeonholed into playing as a certain character, but having to do it for God knows how many matches while I down Kim-skinned characters and close distance only to have my kill stolen for the umpteenth time is going to be impossibly frustrating.

Maybe earning that achievement will be the Impossible Mission? Sounds about right...

Nah, cause Impossible Mission starts on the 25th. The DLC releases on Dec. 13th.

[Kaiyo]

All 4 DLC has 250gs each. I knew Microsoft increased the limit of total gamerscore for games to 2000 from 1750.

[Efase]

I can't wait for this, achievements look awesome. No regrets on buying the season pass

This^^ It worked fine for the Command Pack achievements to have 3 players and 2 with guests logged in, can't imagine it not working here.

Just let one of the dummy controllers be Jace

Am also waiting in them to fix the charge for season pass holders before downloading. Bugger it all.

[eiVaL]

he didnt say we could do it in Gears 3 MP, he only mentioned if you've already did back in Gears 1 which Kim an Raam were selectable characters.

but he didnt clarify if we could still unlock it in Gears 3 once those characters are available
