New Achievements!!


Gamers, Ready Your Weapons. Stop. New Gears of WarŽ
Multiplayer Achievements Added. Stop.


End transmission.


Thursday, June 14, at 2 a.m. GMT, the stakes get even higher as Gears of War releases eight new Achievements for the “Annex” gametype and the “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack on Xbox LIVEŽ.



In addition to adding new Achievements, worth a total of 250 points, Gears of War developer Epic has improved the Roadie Run controls so players have greater control of their movement and can better annihilate their pestilent enemies. The title update will also help squash multiplayer exploits and provide general housekeeping.


For those who have yet to man up and join the battle, the “Annex” gametype is now available for free and the “Hidden Fronts” Multiplayer Map Pack is available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points. All four multiplayer maps will be made available at no cost over Xbox LIVE on Sept. 3, 2007.


Release Notes



  • New Achievements added! Eight new achievements worth a total of 250 points created for playing Annex and the Hidden Fronts Multiplayer Map Pack

  • Improved Roadie Run to reduce getting snagged on cover
  • Tweaked up the amount of damage done by the Lancer Assault Rifle in multiplayer
  • Fixed split-screen players interrupting the other player’s actions when they die
  • Stopped Annex scoring whenever a “Connection Error” dialog box is displayed
  • Reduced the duration that corpses remain visible when hosting an Annex match
  • Reduced the range of possible Annex bleed-out times selectable by host
  • Addressed a number of multiplayer exploits
  • Addressed other general housekeeping

I wonder if it counts for non-ranked matches... Considering the other achievements do not.

Yeah if they would allow achievements to be earned over player matches I would play this again. But without it I really have no other reason to kill Pickle anymore.

Well from peering around on the interweb, it seems these can be earned in player matches. No word if the update will also allow the previous achievements to be earned this way as well.

After going through the Epic forums it seems that the original achievements will remain ranked though.

They will also not be applying Annex to the Seriously achievement... As it stands now it seems.
