I've never really gotten into GoW, for the whole controller/mouse+keyboard thing I keep going on about. I've put it in my 360 about 3 times in the past two months, just to have a few games online. Thankfully, they have been with fun people, but more often than not, my only kills are on AFK'ers =( Story mode doesn't seem interesting for me when single player - I've done a bit of co-op with a 950GS player but that's about it.

If you enjoy GoW - a lot - then you'll love these achievements. Me? I'm not really interested.

The following fixes and tweaks to Gears of War will also be made:
