Gears of War 2 Updated to 1425

In preparation for Title Update 3 coming March 24th and the Snowblind Map Pack coming March 31st, Gears of War 2 has now been updated with an additional 9 achievements for a grand total of 1425. For more information on TU3, Snowblind and these achievements, see the announcement article we ran last week.

Please note: Whenever we add DLC achievements to a game, the checklist for the game will be broken to anyone who was using it before the additions. We do not know the cause, but to fix the glitch, simply delete the checklist (hit the Red X from the "My Achievements" link)  and then re-enable and re-check your achievements. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Achievements based on multiplayer rankings are the worst, and in my opinion, they are the last ditch efforts to get more people to play this game.

So...you can get the ranking achievements now?? or does it come out when the new maps come out?

Its a real shame that after all the matches I had to stay in to not lose my rank will be for nothing. Oh well this ranking system seems alot better than the one right now.

Hrm. Sounds like it'll be a pain to get to the highest rank, especially considering you have to sit through random people in public matches.

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 12:45:58 AM

That's a reasonable achievement list for DLC, I'd say ... even though I absolutely DESPISE multiplayer achievements.
And an EPIC Fail to the "first" and "third" posters.

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 12:51:08 AM

Maybe the 1000 GS limit only applies to games that don't sell very well. If you sell ohhh... 3 million copies, then you can do what the F you want! Maybe that's how it goes. :)

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 12:52:13 AM

This eats ass! Im so sick of DLC once a month for the same damn game. Just bring it all out at once.

i agree with #21 besides the multiplayer on this game is garbgage theres nothing they can do to fix it

Not 2 shabby i hope the leveling up one's can be achieved in horde as the multiplayer in gears sucks ass.

Comment #23 by WheezySparkz

Ya they probably think its ok to go over the 250 DLC limit if the game is a top seller and huge hit.

hopefully all the people that standby will go away..and #3 you shouldnt even play Gears if you dont like the main part of the game imo

Comment #27 by panicky
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 02:14:22 AM

I actually like multiplayer achievements unless it's for games with bad multiplayer (The darkness, Dark sector, etc.) people just want their achievements handed to them on a silver platter that's all it is, if they have to work hard and compete for it they don't want them, these look like you can get them all by being half decent at the game anyway.

Comment #28 by Samurai_King
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 02:23:31 AM

why do so many people care so much when games break the limit on achievements? who really gives a shit to be honest. and if the only reason you play games is for an achievement score you may aswell throw ur xbox out the window., yes i go for achievements and like them but its not the reason i play games.

but on topic this looks like a good DLC list, im gunna get it. to be honest i even like playing against the bots offline with my friends much more fun than playing with the idiots you come across in online games. and ones that have no job and sit on it for like 22 hours a day and because freakishly good at it lol.

I didn't touch Gears 2 in over a month before I heard about TU3 coming out. It got me interested in putting the game back in my xbox and playing it. I have cared less and less about my gamerscore since I reached 100k. But for some reason now I want to try and complete Gears 2. It's given me hope that I will enjoy Gears 2 cause it really let me down and I know I'm not the only one. If I complete it or not, I really don't care. If they keep adding achievements it will give me more of a reason to keep playing. that's if I'm happy with TU3. These achievements are not the best, but I'm not really worried about them. I get them, good. I don't, oh well. Games are suppose to be fun, so anything that keeps the game fun I'm all for. DLC or Updates. The achievements, if done right makes a game fun. I

Comment #37 by Metaphorically
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 03:52:06 AM

EPIC knew this game was sub-par compared to the first one, but still remained under the delusion that it will top the first one. But then GOW2 came out and it majorly flopped, and most who bought it started returning the game. EPIC thought they would redeem themselves by releasing a DLC within the first few months and that didn't even help any much. Now it is the time for the second DLC and will meet the fate of the first DLC. A third one will be released thinking they cane actually fix the unfix-able. Fact of the matter EPIC fucked up and there is no going back.

These achivements is not so good. The matchmaking system in GoW 2 stinks. It is really bad. The first ones jump-in-system was great.
So "public" achivements is bad for the game.

Are all these achievements attainable first on March 24th and March 31st? Or can you get the experience ones allready?

Not a bad list. At least I will be able to get a few of these achievements without downloading/paying for the new maps.

I am guessing that reaching level 100 is going to be fucking impossible.

Good, a better ranking system.
I will be deffo playing this when its out.
Also, to everyone who is saying this is shit, just dont play it..
Everyone has their own oppinions to games and content.

Comment #53 by IWi11KickU
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 07:19:31 AM

The only thing I hope for is that you can't loose expirience and therefor levels from having a shitty match. Even those of us who aren't superstars should be able to eventually get the achievements if we play long enough.

Comment #54 by quidyg
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 07:21:41 AM

i'll be playing this and once i have a new hard drive i'll get the maps as well. at least this good for the people who still play gears 2

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 07:42:18 AM

Jesus cry more, no one HAS to 100% the game just because new achievements are out.

Anyway, should be good, but this is the last chance i'm giving EPIC to fix gears. If a single bullet still doesn't lower the chainsaw like the first gears then its going on ebay. :)

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 07:46:02 AM

I being nickled and dimed for my achievements, but I think Gears 2 is pretty fun game with friends, so I'll bite.

Comment #60 by tsydrown
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 07:51:42 AM

Gears was awesome for Campaign, but online it was shocking, traded it for FO3, not a bad trade IMO. Nice to see Epic are keeping up with DLC for Gears but after the initial MP problems is it enough to bring people back? Tough one, but hey more achievements & extra maps can never be turned down!

Comment #61 by YouStayClassy
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 09:00:28 AM

#2

Yep. You completely and totally nailed it. I imagine getting to level 100 would be the equivalent of getting to level 50 in Halo 3. :(

omg about time epic games, i like the cod 4 ranking system i hope its the same for gears does anybody know how much is the map pack going to be ?

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 09:16:04 AM

I was not aware that people still played this game. I thought everyone had gone back to playing the first one because of how horrible this one ended up being. hmm.

hmm just like galo, charging 10 bucks for some shatty little maps. not worth the price if you ask me.

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 09:26:29 AM

Nice. I'm still deciding between The Pitt or these new maps.

Comment #66 by DemonI81
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 09:40:54 AM

@ #2
Completely agree.
My theory has been that games with a bunch of MP achievements have a weak MP so the devs use the achievements to keep people/get people to play it. In the case of Gears 2, I feel that's right on the money.
I said it before and I'll say it again.... After all the problems with 2 and now all the BS MP achievements, I will not be buying Gears 3 or even playing it.
It's obvious how bad they screwed this game up when they go to a CoD type ranking system... Wow Epic, you fail.

Comment #67 by LDAC
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 10:00:35 AM

The game is awesome but agree with everyone else that the MP suckssss not worth spending 800 MS points again 4 new maps, going on the pile of trade-ins for the PS3 god of war bundle!!

Not a big fan of multiplayer achievements at all, but Gears 2 is actually fun online, although I don't play it enough to be able to get the MP achievements..

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 10:46:29 AM

at #2 i dont think so, just look at halo, i mean i think its got an awesome MP and it has a lot of achievements. the reason why it has a lot imo is because its community is quite large. same thing can be said about gears 2 but i dont understand why everyone is so damn pissed or thinks gears 2/ gears 2 MP is complete garbage, imo its way better than the first one, maybe to all those people who think gears 2 mp is crap how about checking your NAT settings to see if its open moderate or strict, when i changed my NAT settings to be open, there was a HUGE difference for me(finding matches faster and having less lag/bullet lag

DLC is nice and all but what happened to the price. When they first came out they used to be 400 pts or about five dollars, not bad. Now everything is 800 pts or more. Like making people pay $60 for a game isnt bad enough. Keep the DLC cheaper and more people can and will buy it. That way more people can enjoy the games like they were meant to be.

Comment #78 by DeafSunchaser
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 11:46:47 AM

yeah im all for the new ranking stuff... as im not a good brill player and its not fair that if i play shit my team mates gets lower rank! so with the rank im sure it will be great!

Rank system achievements?

Okay the hardcore Gears fans will have fun working through these ones, but casual gamers like me wont play this game that much to get that high/.

Far Cry 2 made a similar mistake.

Comment #83 by Kazoturkey
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 12:39:11 PM

I hate GoW multiplayer, none of the weapons are even vaguely balanced. One hit kills for everything that doesn't use bullets was not an intelligent idea.

Gears 2 was only good to play during the launch weekend now no one plays it and I still prefer Gears 1
They need to stop making DLC and start to improve it such as somehow making online less laggy even Gears 1 wasn't that bad

I loved gears 1 and 2's campaign but I have given up on this ones MP Im sorry EPIC I'm gonna be back with Gears 3 though hope everyone enjoys these achievements they seem decent but I won't be buying map packs for anyone

#37 I agree 100%

I enjoyed Gears 1 MUCH MUCH more than I enjoyed Gears 2. The multiplayer is dog shit. I still wonder how they fucked up such a great multiplayer component. Did the shotguns really bother people that much in the first that Epic had to resort to this crap?

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 01:45:13 PM

im goin to agree with NEO CRIMS0N, multiplayer achievements are the worst they should just make achievements dealin with the game, PLEASE NO MORE MULTIPLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS.

Comment #95 by HighsounD
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 01:47:47 PM

Not worth my time anyway. Think Gears would be better if the multiplayer was the same as Halo. Cause imo it's better to respawn and the first one at fifty win, instead of being chainsawed by some noob and the round is over when all are dead. I only play gears for campaign and coop.

Comment #96 by Godge
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 01:48:55 PM

I think this game wasn't up to people's expectations, these new achievements are just to try and keep people interested. Unfortunately for Epic and Microsoft, I've seen past that.

Comment #97 by SCA KAZUMA
Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 02:20:51 PM

#51, the ranking system is going to be something like CoD, where you get so many points per game. It won't be impossible, but, as with RPGs, the higher your level, the harder it is to level up. Slow but sure. It's kind of a gimmick to keep people playing until they get to 100, which is sure to take a while, so they don't feel like the game sucks as bad as nearly everyone agrees it does. Regardless, these are time-consuming, but not impossible, which I prefer in achievements. Give me something that an average person can do (just taking longer), instead of something you have to be a god among men to pull off...

Friday, March 20, 2009 @ 03:26:11 PM

Can't wait! The current ranking system is broken. I've been rank 2 since the second day the game came out and my friend is rank 1 and never goes up even though we win a lot. I'll probably have all these achievements in a few days. Got all the previous ones the day they were released so not expecting these to take long.

The only reason they add achievements past 1000 is to get both the fans of the series and achievement whores (or people who are both)to buy the DLC. I'm all for achievements, (being the perfectionist i am, gotta have that 1000!) I cant keep shelling out $10 here, $10 there it turns from just 2 map packs for $20 to about $150 real quick. If i buy this, the last one, COD5 map pack, and so on I wont have any money anymore to buy any retail games! BTW achievements that deal with rank are a load of bull and a waste of time, games like Gears, Halo, and anything Tom Clancy related are bad for this.

The add on packs do scream achievement whores. However if it is a game as big as gears 2 it seems fitting. Epic is just trying to keep the game fresh and give fans new incentive to play, the ranking system is genius too! Can't wait!

I agree I really don't like online multiplayer achievements. They're are far too time consuming in my opinion.

I already completed this game twice, but every time I put the game down EPIC forces me to pick it right back up due to the DLC. This is the problem they feed on our acheivement whore instincts and they know we can't refuse especially if we're a fan of the series as I am and I know many 360 owners are. These don't seem too difficult, time consuming of course and you have to withstand the torture of the online community. But all in all if they patch up the problems hopefully the game won't be disgusting going for these.

#64, I think you meant Halo. If you cant say it right, dont bother saying it at all. But have fun playing Cock o' Dooty (see, I can do it too!).

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
