Gears 2 Patch and new achievements goes live

Hurray for fixes! Eurogamer reported that the new Gears of War update is live. Title Update 2 brings with it not just a multitude of fixes, but seven new achievements to go along with the Flashback and Combustible map packs. To see a list of the achievements and fixes, read on.

First is the achievements. Coupled with Epic’s typically humorous titles, these new achievements are a welcome Gamerscore boost and a good motivation to grab the new maps if you haven’t already.

  • 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)

The list of fixes is too numerous to post in its entirety, but among them are fixes for multiple exploits, multiplayer fixes, some balancing changes, and some new features. To see the complete list on Epic’s official forum, click here.

So, download the patch, get online, and start kicking some more Horde butt!

Still can’t get into a public match. They really need to break into the Call of Duty dev offices and get a hold of their code.

Epic. Must Try Harder.

I enjoyed reading the comments for that article, I must say. Just a bunch of PS3 fanboys flaming each other for no apparent reason.

If this continues with Shitty, I’m up for creating an Encyclopediadramatica article about him. Anyone wanna help?
