The Pants Party Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 The achievements are now on the front page! They have now put an end to the conventional "achievement match" by forcing the matches to be 3+ rounds. Now they will just have to play out two rounds after trading kills though, so that didn't really do much. However, this can be done in Player matches now, so those will be much easier to get. It is also worth noting: http://xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/482/UPwJBB4=.jpgNot So Serious ... 20 http://xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpgKill 10,000 people in versus player match total http://xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/482/UPntzKk=.jpgSeriously ... 40 http://xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpgKill 10,000 people in versus ranked match total If this means you have to get 20,000 kills to get the full 1000, this is ridiculously lame. I'm hoping getting the Ranked kills will unlock both achievements. There is also one secret achievement, which I am going to guess is for killing the new boss character (the Brumak) on Hardcore (or higher) like the other boss achievements.

antnie Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 that is stupid I thought that the original 10000 was hard but 20000 crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tained sainity Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Yeh I reckon that is what it is as well Pants and it is going to be easier to get all the other achievements like Hammer or Longshot, because you'll proberbly be able to go into a game with a guest and just kill each other with desired kill but a bit harder as now Epic call the shots as it is dedicated servers I believe, the only achievement is seriously that I am not looking forward to, but not so serious don't care, and really achievement matches can still live as they can do the 1 rounders as a Seriously match couldn't they.

The Pants Party Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 you'll proberbly be able to go into a game with a guest You can't play more than one person on a PC. However, player matches you can just invite your friends at any time, so it will be easier to meet up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zef Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Maybe they will be nice and have Ranked kills count as Player kills, so you only need 10,000. Still, that is a bit of a bugger if they are keeping what is one of the more annoying achievements from the 360 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRAZY KILLLER Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 well the 10000 kills wont be that bad in player matches. I played the game after seriously on 360 player matches over the summer and must have got over 10000. Ill get all the achievements however once i get my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailboxhead Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The achievements are ok, though I was under the impression that Gears PC would only have the "Not so serious..." achievement and not another "Seriously..". It does seem quite ridiculous to put both achievements in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pants Party Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm wondering if Annex kills will count on the PC version. That would make them go insanely quicker. Just start a match with people and never take the objectives, just keep killing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Odan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 It's not so bad. 10,000 kills in player matches is fun. And you can play with friends, which won't make it difficult. Did they say what the requirements are to play Gears of War on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind x360a Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you have vista you should be fine with this game right? I have vista so I hope so. I hope annex kills count but won't really mind if they don't because I will want to get all the weapon kills and stuff. It has been said that you can get only 1 kill per match, well say I get one sniper kill can I then get 1 pistol kill and they still count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Odan Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 0_O You can get more than one kill per match. I once got 72 kills one one match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birky Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Damn... way to go epic. You give us the exact same achievements but with a homosexual twist to it! 20,000 kills? On the PC? Come on, who wants to do that? Also I'm pretty sure that this is just like the console game but with like one extra scene in it. Also, does anyone know if PC gamers and console gamers will play together? Or will they each have there own server? If they are mixed it will be easy to boost on 2 accounts using your own xbox and PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killlah631 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If the PC and 360 are on the same server that would be great...but totally agreed that is RIDICULOUS about the 20k kills..hopefully it will be 10K kills and not one kill per match....it will take awhile for someone to confirm either of these most likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac2565 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If I finish getting 1000 in Halo 3 before this comes out I will buy it. I have a question. If you DO NOT have Vista can you still get achievements? It has been said that you can get only 1 kill per match, well say I get one sniper kill can I then get 1 pistol kill and they still count? Where did you here that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xENVxGAMERSKREW Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Wow thats gonna suck im a need to buy gears for vista + the 19 addon to add my wireless controller bull-spit-donkey-porn lol And 20k omg... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasstiger50 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Do you think it'll be like Shadowrun, where you can play against people on the 360? I hope so, so I can play with my brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gun-Nut Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nope, you have to have Vista. No you don't need Vista at all! Windows LIVE will work on XP with Gears, weather or not that lets Shadowrun and Halo 2 work I'm not sure. IGN: Halo 2 and Shadowrun, the other two Microsoft-published games that support GFW-Live both required Vista - it says as much on the back of their retail boxes. Gears of War runs on XP and Vista. Why is that? Was that your decision at Epic, or something mandated by Microsoft? Rod Fergusson: "Gears of War" runs on XP and Vista because we wanted to bring the "Gears" experience to the broadest audience possible. Source: http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/808/808367p1.html I've also seen interviews with epic confirming it works on XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pants Party Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 There is no LIVE on XP. You can play the game, but you can't download your gamertag or sign in. That is only available on Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic have said there is going to be LIVE on XP ¬.¬ going to be the first game to bring it over to XP, was only not in Shadowrun and Halo 2 because it was not stable, now it is. I give up with this back and fourth game is out next month and we will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
