New “Gears of War” Multiplayer achievements and title update

[The Feed Monkey]

It has just been announced that Gears of War will be getting a title update tomorrow, June 14th after 0200 GMT. Inside the Title Update, you’ll find eight new Achievements for the "Annex" gametype and the "Hidden Fronts" Multiplayer Map Pack on Xbox LIVE.
In addition to adding new Achievements, worth a total of 250 points, Epic has improved the Roadie Run controls so players have greater control of their movement. The title update will also help squash multiplayer exploits and provide general housekeeping.
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 available for free after Sept. 3, 2007.

Well... I guess there is finally a reason to play Annex in ranked. Hopefully they extend the achievements that involve kills to it as well...

I thought they where going to get rid of the ranked requirement. I need to play this some. I never played after buying this addon.

[Gordon]

Indeed I thought they would too... but they never got around to it. Now I assume that they will not bother with it.

I hate rank play. All I get to hear is how I stink. Of course by the people who die before me, LOL.

[Jon Liu]

ranked play sucks hardcore... I wish they would do away with the req for ranked play for the achievements, once and for all.

[Gordon]

Of course I agree.

Gears ranked play sucks harder than ranked play in any other game. I would love for the achievements to be achievable in player matches, I've played more Gears multiplay than any other 360 game.
