RAAM's Shadow Achievement Discussion

so wait, Rod said "Foreshadowing" unlock is based on Gears 1 MP?!?

he didnt say we could do it in Gears 3 MP, he only mentioned if you've already did back in Gears 1 which Kim an Raam were selectable characters.

 

but he didnt clarify if we could still unlock it in Gears 3 once those characters are available:mad:

 

Not sure what you think you heard, but that is wildly incorrect. Perhaps he was talking about the cutscene in GOW1 when Kim dies?

 

The achievement will require you to execute Kim using RAAM in GOW3 online matches.

Spoiler alert ^^^^^^^^^^

 

For a game that's been out for more than five years, I doubt anyone would care. Why would they be looking at a thread specifically for a DLC of the third installment of the franchise anyways?

 

Anywho, I can't wait for this next DLC. It'll give me a break from the addiction of Skyrim and hopefully encourage me to finish off Seriously 3.0.

 

As for the 'Foreshadowing' achievement, everyone should play as Kim if they're on the COG team as that's what I'll be doing. I'll be giving a chance for other players to receive their achievement, but I'll also do it to be a magnet to other players and draw them into my clutches.

Foreshadowing seems like it will be a bitch to get. Like others, I forsee tons of RAAMs on the locust team and no Kims anywhere on the COG side because nobody will want that target painted on their backs. And when there is a Kim, there will be some real kill stealing going on, not this pussy "I didn't take my kill so someone else on my team did to help the team overall unlike me who only cares about my score waaaaaaaaaaah!" team killing people bitch about now.

 

Yeah, I can easily see groups of friends or boosters pulling a "1 2 3 NOT JACE!" type of thing. Jace is poo, and it brings me pleasure stealing his candy every time I start a new campaign. :D

 

I have only had xbox live for a month so not sure if this will work but could you ask on the achievement trading thread for people to join your party while in the menu's then when you have a full party start a standard match?This would put you all in the same match correct?

I was thinking about the horrible Foreshadowing achievement yesterday and I came up with an idea. While playing as Kim, pick up as many grenades as you can. Equip them before you go down and when a RAAM runs over to execute you, detonate it seconds before he reaches you.

 

I might play as Kim just to have fun with this.

Now that they are on xbox.com, the descriptions are quite a bit different. I am going to assume the list in Post #1 is still correct in terms of requirements... although the wording on Foreshadowing makes it seem like you only need to do it once now.

Hah that's a great idea, I just wish incendiaries actually killed them before you get executed.

@Pants Party, the descriptions posted would appear to be intended to be the post-achievement text. I don't know if or for how many other games this is the case, but in both Gears of War 2 and 3, the achievement text in the War Journal AND in the actual Xbox achievement gallery changes once the achievement has been completed. In many cases, such as with Foreshadowing, this post-achievement description is more vague than the pre-achievement text (which more clearly states what you have to do).

Well the achievements in the quote above that I added to the site are the pre-unlock versions directly from xbox.com, so the ones they've published for this DLC are way more vague than they normally are. Epic is usually pretty direct in the descriptions about what is required. Could be someone switched the pre- and post-unlock text around on accident though.

What's with all these bloody Horde achievements. Surely they could've come up with more for the Campaign part of this DLC. Am I the only one who thinks Horde sucks?

Properly not, I think Horde is a game which you definitely need to play with friends rather than random people for it to be enjoyable to some.

Ok...

 

On my Xbox when I look at achievements:

 

Foreshadowing

As RAAM, excute Minh 10 times in Versus MP (Standard or Casual)

 

On Xbox.com when I look at achievements

 

Foreshadowing

As RAAM, made sure Minh never forgets that day outside the House of Sovereigns.

 

 

I'm sure the others are a bit different too in wording. So I'm guessing, that what is listed on Xbox.com is what the achievement will say when it's unlocked, and what it is saying on the Xbox is what you have to do to unlock it...
