Gears of War 2 made an appearance at the Comic-Con today and some interesting news was dropped, announcing that Gears 2 would get “linked achievements”. What exactly is a “linked achievement”? Well simply put, things you achieved in the first Gears of War game will have an affect on your play through the much anticipated sequel. Cliffy B gave some examples of what he meant by linked achievements:

- Complete Act One in Gears Of War, unlock a playable Anthony Carmine in Gears of War 2
- Find 10 COG tags in Gears Of War, unlock Minh Young Kim in Gears of War 2
- Kill Raam in Gears Of War, unlock a playable Raam in Gears of War 2

This is a great way to promote players to play through the original title and promote continuity between titles. This is an interesting and innovative idea that should be incorporated into more sequels especially since there are so many sequels coming out soon. Curious what if any other “linked achievements” might get added later?

well i think this is kinda cool more games should try to do this. like Being Elite in RSV1 gives you extra stuff on RSV2. but anyways this is good news for me bc i wanned to play the whole campaign all over again on my new tag. so this gives me a reason why to do it besides bc i wanned to lol.
