    So, it's been three and a half weeks or so since Gears 2 was released (for most of us), and I'm about ready for some more achievements.

    I've completed every achievement except for Party Like It's 1999 (350 rounds left) and Seriously 2.0 (85k kills left), and those should be completed by the new year.  All that to precursor my previous statement that I think that CliffyB and the boys down at Epic should realize some new achievements in the next two months.

    I realize that it's a bit early to realize content considering the fact that the game is not even quite a month old, but I really think we need some more achievements in the vein of the Organ Grinder and other weapon achievements.

    I think they can only do that with new maps. Halo 3's extra points are because of it's new maps.

    I guess that they COULD add new points if they wanted to, but I'd assume they'd only do it with a new map pack.

    You only get new achievements in significant DLC packs...not just because people want more.

    Yeah, this. Microsoft limits the number of achievement points (not number of achievement titles, but the point count), for a retail product and DLC additions.
    1000 Achievement Points is a hard limit for all retail products.
    250 Achievements Points is a hard limit for DLC products.
    They can however introduce 1000/250 Achievement Titles, consisting of 1 point each, for example; though no developer would do that due to time contraints and pure gameplay-achievement elements in any individual game.
    You won't see any more achievements until DLC starts hitting Gears of War 2, and generally; map packs don't introduce new achievements, since it would not be worthwhile giving achievements for merely playing a map. Perhaps more game-play focused achievements, like blind-fire 50/100/1000/10000 people to death for example, but doubtful you'll get any more meaningful achievements.

    I can see them adding 250 points in the next map pack like they did with the previous Gears of War.
