Obviously Gears of War 2 did not come out on PC, but do achievements from Gears of War PC unlock the weapons skins as well?

Specifically:

Gold Sawed-off : Earned 'Commando' achievement in Gears of War 1

Chrome Lancer: Earn 'Don't Hate the Player' achievement in Gears of War

Chrome Retro Lancer: Earn 'Domination' achievement in Gears of War

Of course we already know about the Chrome Sawed-off, which is explicitly stated. This might be a hard question to answer though; Who has only played Gears 1 on PC and then decides to play Gears 3 on 360?

I'm playing Gears 1 on pc now actually, and I too would like to know which achievements count.

Unfortunately there is no one (as far as I can tell i.e quickmatch) playing pc gears online - so the multiplayer ones will have to be skipped.

Unlesssssssssssss, someone knows of a crowd of rowdy pc gamers who wanna throw down some gears 1 multiplayer with me on ze pc.

anyone? Anyone? Is anyone out there!?

I guess we could make a one-off session or something with people here on the forums. I'd be game.

You can still find games of Gears 1 on the PC, by the way playing the PC version makes me sad there is not Gears 2,3 for PC.
