It has just been announced that Gears of War will be getting a title update tomorrow, June 14th after 0200 GMT. Inside the Title Update, you'll find eight new Achievements for the "Annex" gametype and the "Hidden Fronts" Multiplayer Map Pack on Xbox LIVE.

In addition to adding new Achievements, worth a total of 250 points, Epic has improved the Roadie Run controls so players have greater control of their movement. The title update will also help squash multiplayer exploits and provide general housekeeping.

The "Annex" gametype is now available for free and the "Hidden Fronts" Multiplayer Map Pack is available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points.
All four multiplayer maps will be available for free afterSept. 3, 2007.

lmao you dont believe me? if you do a little digging, gamespot already has all the acheivements, their names, and how many points they're worth along with how to do it. THIS!IS!ANNEX! is real along with Nub Pwn3r and Are you Down with E.P.IC?. those are the noticeables.

sorry to burst your buble but im pretty sure it wont count. you're implying that you did work for a non-existent achievement. so yea, you gotta get to work again, although non of the achievements have to do with caps or breaks. i dunno if thats good or bad for you
