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. So, no multiplayer kills will count. We say, bring on the Locust and give us our second helping of Seriously Gamerscore.

Here's to hoping for a segment containing hordes of unarmed locust and a well placed turret

wow, thats just stupidly awesome! I have i feeling that playing through Horde mode with my buddys is going to be a gaming highlight for me this year, so im sure ill get this eventually

That actually sounds pretty damn cool considering some of the people that play it online. ;)

This is cool. But the main question is - will it count in Horde mode? You said single player and co-op campaign, and that makes me scared... It would greatly extend the mode if it was counted.

Holy hell, thats insane. As Aaron said, I hope it works in Horde mode too.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard such a poor choice I was hoping 100,000 singleplayer, co-op , horde and multiplayer but whatever . Not buying game for achievements.

Might not be too bad if you play lots of Horde mode.

"This is cool. But the main question is - will it count in Horde mode? You said single player and co-op campaign, and that makes me scared... It would greatly extend the mode if it was counted."

Oh man, awesome. I just listened to an interview with Cliff B. from X08, and he mentions you can chip away at these achievements (including Seriously 2.0) in ALL of the modes, including player matches. I honestly don't care if people boost for it, as long as it doesn't affect my gaming experience (such as the first), I'm fine with it. This is going to be awesome...

You can listen to it here: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/22/x08-cliff-bleszinski-talks-gears-of-war-2/

That's great, this will really add to the fun in Horde mode.

Oh this is pretty cool.
Go Cliffy!

gears of war 3 will feature seriously 3.0.

1 million kills with 500,000 online and 500,000 offline and in coop

Does HORDE count towards it? if so i might go for it with 5 other buddies.......but if its single player only.......yeah no thanks

just read the site update -

"Update: We made a mistake! The Seriously 2.0 achievement's 100,000 kills are taken from EVERY game mode spread across the entire game. Meaning that every kill in campaign single or co-op, ranked or social multiplayer matches and even Horde games count towards the 100,000 kill finish line. Also, there will also be an achievement tracker notification that will randomly pop-up and update you on your Seriously 2.0 progress. Sorry for the confusion, we blame Xav ;)"


HELLL FUCKING YEAH!!!!!!!!! getting this shit"

Eh.  Hulk would prefer it just being for multiplayer.  Allowing campaign stuff will just enable players to reload areas with large groups of enemies on the easy difficulty and just mow them down over and over and get the achievement in one day if they really want.

Takes away from the feeling of accomplishment Hulk got in Gears 1 when he finally got Seriously in Gears 1 after a month of joining ranked matches and dealing with the constant pain in the ass of bad teammates, laggy hosts, quitters, and the worst of all hosts that quit.   Hulk was looking foward to not having these problems since Gears 2 has such improved matchmaking.  It's no big deal but takes away some of the joy of a solid matchmaking system now.

COOOOL

I didn't think I could get any more excited for Gears 2 but I guess I'm wrong! =D"

100,000 sounds like waaay too much.  Think about it.  Who would want to spend months of playing singleplayer and coop.

*Raises Hand*

"100,000 sounds like waaay too much.  Think about it.  Who would want to spend months of playing singleplayer and coop."

Wow, that's the dumbest achievement I've ever seen. Do you want people to hate your game by the time they're done with it, Cliffy?

Omg you scared the shit out of me. I was really hoping to get seriously. And the first part scared me to death.

Well, I'm going to have fun and that is all that matters."

this is wrong, they later confirmed that multiplayer kills would also count.

Maybe one day I will unlock that achievement.

"this is wrong, they later confirmed that multiplayer kills would also count."

Finally, campaign, co-op and multiplayer modes to be counted in the achievement.  Horde mode, here I come :D
