A supposedly leaked list of the achievements for Gears of War 2 has been circling the web today. IGN has learned from Microsoft that the the list is not official, adding that it is "not complete and only contains about 60% of the actual achievements." IGN states that it will have the official list of Gears of War 2 achievements tomorrow at 10 AM (Eastern Time, presumably). In the meantime, check out the leaked list after the break and see if you can figure out which ones are missing.

Two things to mention... There are a total of 18 chapters! Compared to the 5 that we had in the first game (although those were called acts). And the Seriously 2.0 ahcievement. Previously, it was thought that was to be done in single-player and co-op. According to this it says, across ALL modes. Which is awesome.

Colton @ Aug 28th 2008 3:03PM

Oh, and also, the achievements still call it meat flag, and not submission (or whatever the hell they're calling it now).

Aero @ Aug 28th 2008 3:59PM

Were the separate parts of each act called chapters? I find it a bit hard to believe that the campaign for GOW2 is more then 3 times longer then that of the first game.

c. thomas @ Aug 28th 2008 4:28PM

How so....

Cliff: Bigger Better More Badass in every way..

Cal @ Aug 28th 2008 6:10PM

Weren't the 5 acts split into chapters? (Or scenes)

Mighty Healthy @ Aug 28th 2008 3:06PM

Photojournalist (10) – Submit a spectator photo

YES!!!! Something to do while I pay for dying!

normandie @ Aug 28th 2008 3:07PM

oh cool, well it looks like dom dies in this one.

Kaitis @ Aug 28th 2008 4:32PM

Wouldn't the "I Can't Quit You, Dom - Complete all acts in
co-op on any difficulty" imply that Dom lives though the whole game?
If he was to die wouldn't that make it impossible to beat the game with him?

Cole Mullenbach @ Aug 28th 2008 3:09PM

Im digging these achievements! I hope that they are at least kind of real because i never was a fan of ranked GOW but hopefully these can be done in player matches

B Tizo @ Aug 28th 2008 3:13PM

I love the Princess Bride reference! I can't wait to get my hands on this game at PAX this weekend!

ObiBen @ Aug 28th 2008 3:14PM

Variety is the Spice of Death

I hope that one makes it in. I like the sound of that. I also like the fact that there are no achievements that involve getting 100 kills with each weapon.

Traxx @ Aug 28th 2008 3:19PM

Seriously 2.0 (50) - Kill 100,000 enemies, total, across all modes

philmcphail @ Aug 28th 2008 8:01PM

I really don't get how its still only 50GS!

007craft @ Aug 28th 2008 3:27PM

wow. 20+ achievements for just "advancing" in the single palyer mode. Talk about a waste of achievements. I like the ones that are kill x ammount of players with 1 grenade, etc etc. IThey need mroe of those. you shouldnt get achievements just for playing the game and beating levels. Maybe 1 acehivement for completing the game, but not one for eveyr damn act/level

Aimless3 @ Aug 28th 2008 4:10PM

Honestly, I prefer the games where the achievements require a lot of single player work. Not that there is anything wrong with multiplayer achievements, I just prefer the single player ones. But I believe a good achievement list balances between the two.

Stupendous52 @ Aug 28th 2008 4:14PM

Meh, 10 points here, 10 points there. I like that they have some that will be fairly easy to get and others that will still be challenging. I think it's a good mixture.

cakey @ Aug 28th 2008 3:36PM

Semi-Spoiled myself with that list.

indie 5ive6ix2wo @ Aug 28th 2008 4:16PM

i think these achievements are very cool. they set it up so that you can play the game for fun and not feel like you have to put in countless hours to get a single achievement. i'm sure this game is going to keep us coming back for more anyways.

and they will probably end up adding the weapon achievements too. they did say the list is incomplete so i would not doubt it.

Fenix @ Aug 28th 2008 4:24PM

007craft

I agree but they're only 10gp each. No biggie IMO. Some people (aka wierdos) rent games and never beat them. They just play MP. These ch33voz are for those people to say ahh Ill keep playing and beat it.

Jack Chatterton @ Sep 4th 2008 4:09PM

Wowza, So the E3 Footage must of been pretty late in the Game if the Brumak Rodeo Achievement is the 17th Chapter out of 19.

philmcphail @ Aug 28th 2008 4:36PM

I don't mean to offend, but YAY! I love these non-multiplayer exclusive achievements.

Banimal @ Aug 28th 2008 4:46PM

I like cheese

Rick @ Aug 28th 2008 8:37PM

I like turtles.

Cutty @ Aug 29th 2008 4:17PM

I like turtles that like cheese.

THA1icarus @ Aug 28th 2008 5:06PM

I say IGN leaked it to get some exposure on their exclusive

Conor @ Aug 28th 2008 5:47PM

Only one really tough achievement there (seriously 2.0) other than that,these are all manageable =)

Zelli @ Aug 28th 2008 8:52PM

Anybody know what the mortar is?

Lilpunkduck @ Aug 29th 2008 6:35AM

Well I like the look of this, they all seem achievements that you will get eventually without having to force yourself to try the same thing over and over until you get it. In my opinion you should ave more single player points but not many achieves, and a fair few multiplayer that dont have as many points but alot of variety,
