Spacecat returns with a vengeance, bringing Gears of War 2 Achievements [update] photo

Well, look who I found fishing through Destructoid’s trash bin: it’s our old friend, Spacecat! Last time, he scooped the world on the news that Mega Man 9 was in the works. Now, he has returned from his intergalactic time travels with one doozy of a news story.

Millions of gamers are eagerly anticipating the November release of Epic’s Gears of War 2 for the Xbox 360. Cliffy--er, Cliff Bleszinski--promises that this second title in the trilogy will be bigger, badder, and bloodier than the original, and we’re inclined to agree. That’s not just because of the bonus disc, DLC, or lack of family-friendly content. No, my friends -- we’ve got something much more concrete, thanks to Spacecat. But he says it better than I can:

Thanks to a fellow feline friend who’d like to remain anonymous, I’ve got a list of all fifty Achievements in Gears of War 2. Man, that “Seriously 2.0” Achievement sure sounds difficult -- but what do I care? I can just go forward in time to a point when I’ve already unlocked it. Life as Spacecat is pretty good, eh? Then again, all this time travel leaves very little time for eats. Hence, the garbage sifting. Anyway, back to the Achievements. My personal favorite to work towards is “Variety is the Spice of Death.” That way, I get to put my paws on all the weapons. Uh-oh...I have to go! I think they see me...

Hit the jump for the full list, but BE WARNED: there be SPOILERS in them thar Achievement hills. “Variety is the Spice of Death” does look like it’ll be fun to unlock, doesn’t it?

[Update: We were contacted by Microsoft, who politely asked that we take down the Achievements because the list we have is apparently not the finalized version; a few changes will be made. We expect to have an update on the list within the next 24 hours. But fear not! Spacecat lives on, traversing the five dimensions, and we stipulated that he not be forced to give up his kitty contact.]

@Dexem: You'd be surprised at what people consider spoiler-ish. See #s 7 and 11 (Maria is Dom's wife).

Can you imagine this achievement - 'Survived To Ten (30) – Entire team must survive the first ten waves of Horde (any difficulty)' Being the person who dies and ruining it for the rest. Wow, you're gonna get things like - you suck! we almost did it! you're pathetic! i'm not playing with you anymore! Talk about pressure. Hahaha!

I find the number of chapters quite interesting. I hope that means the game is much longer and not that all the chapters are really short.

If 10,000 kills in the original Gears is worht 50 achievement point, then shouldn't 100,000 be worth 500? =D

18 chapters is a big spoiler right there.

From 5 acts to 18 chapters... I wonder how long a chapter is...

Looks like the Seriously achievement is across ALL modes, not just the campaign. Good.

Other than Seriously 2.0, they don't nearly as retarded as before, there aren't even any ranked ones.

Good, I'll be spending most of my time in horde anyway.

10,000 enemies sounds like a lot, but if someone plays Horde mode constantly, they can get it.

Personally, I'm not up to that level of achievement whoring, but to each his/her own.

@casualweaponry: It's 100,000 this time -- the original Gears of War required 10,000 kills for the "Seriously..." Achievement.

Whoops meant 100,000. But the same idea.

contributions from their own members (inasmuch as anyone is a member). That also makes me REALLY concerned about just rubber-stamping the WHAT-WG design for HTML5. Unfortunately, the more open a design process is, the more possible it is to be affected film izle
