While at today's Canadian X08 event, our own Xav de Matos had a chance to chit-chat it up with Epic's Cliff Bleszinski (lucky turd) and learned something very, very interesting about Gears of War 2's achievements. Specifically, Cliff confirmed that Gears 2 will include an upgraded achievement based on Gears of War's original "Seriously" achievement. The freshly new "Seriously 2.0" achievement will require a whopping 100,000 kills to unlock. Yes, you read correctly, 100,000! But fear not, the achievement task isn't what you think, because "Seriously 2.0"'s 100,000 kills come from both single and co-op campaign gaming as well as all multiplayer modes including Horde.

It should be Campaign and Multiplayer but at least isn’t online only.
Gears of war achievements were picky since It had to be ranked and it one playlist, WTF? I never got several achievements of Gears 1 because I played different playlists. For some reason 50 sticky grenade kills in Execution and 50 in war zone won’t make a 100 for the achievement.
Now that Co-op was the best thing about Gears 1 so I see myself obtaining these achievements and maybe it will turn the game into an arcade game like TMNT
I miss those games.

Yeah. And for some reason my 200 some grenade sticks in ranked warzone weren't good enough for the achievement either.
Oh that's right. Epic never fixed it. I love Gears as much as anyone here, but it pisses me off that Epic didn't bother to fix the last achievements, and now they're going to to up the seriously achievement by 90,000 kills? Why would anyone even achieve that? Especially considering that the last seriously achievement was broken. Can you imagine how pissed people are going to be when they reach their 100,000 kill and no achievement pops up?

Although it is more than the first game's 10,000 kills this one seems more attainable. Now I don't have to deal with all the jerks that play online and instead get to focus on what interests me most: single-player.

Finally!
I found someone who cares more about story and single player than multiplayer!
That's why I hate Team Fortress 2. And Shadowrun.

Ok, lets estimate here, im gonna say you kill about 1000 guys in gow 1 campaign, what do you guys concur?? so you would have to play the campaing 10 times and horde mode 20 times maybe, now, i played the campaign about 6-7 times and online i only have 1000 kills at that (i dont play ranked that much) so its not like its not doable but it sounds pretty hectic.
Unless the krill count towards those kills, then i would say that is awesome, because you can keep repeating that chapter over and over and over and over and over again.
All i want is an accurate system that keeps track of it and we will be fine, it seems like it will be offline tracking which helps tremendously. How many krill did i kill in part 1, thats the real question.

Horde mode must count towards this.

Damn.... 100,000 is definitely serious :P
still though, with the new mode that has waves of enemies slamming against you I figure more than a few people pick this up pretty quick. It better be worth like 200 GS though.

Well you know they have that new arcade-style coop mode where you and 3 other players just battle onslought after onslought of Locus - this achievement is probably meant to be achieved through this mode.

That's kind of crappy actually. I liked having seriously the way it was in the first one.
I got all the other achievements pretty quickly but seriously was one that was always out there, ya know? My white whale.
It was something that was slowly grinded out, so when I'd play with my freinds in multiplayer and it was a crappy match or something, in the back of my mind I'm just like "well at least that counted towards my seriously."
I really hope they put something multiplayer related that will take a long time to get similar to the first seriously in the sequel. It got me to keep playing for a long time, I thought it was a good move in terms of replay-ability on thier part.

I still want to see a "Surely you can't be serious" achievement, just so someone can put out an "I am serious, and don't call me Shirley" achievement next.

*pops his head in* I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
Instead of Seriously 2.0 they should have called it Seriously II: The Sequel haha.
