Gears of War 2 update to come with new achievements

The hopefully game-fixing update Epic Vice President Mark Rein promised would be arriving this month seems to be getting close to release : Xbox.com has details of some new achievements that’ll likely be added with the update – a whole 175 G’s worth. Before you achievement “ladies of the night” get excited, us South Africans are about to be shafted yet again – All of the new achievements require access to the DLC, with half of them requiring the Flashback Map Pack. Yes, that Flashback Map Pack. The one we didn’t get with our new copies of Gears 2. The one that is now available on Xbox live for a reasonable 400 MS points.

Only not to us.

Full list of achievements after the jump.

• 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

• Forged in the Fire (15G) – Win a Wingman match on each of the 3 Combustible Map Pack maps
