Got the Mile High Club today (along with two other Veteran achievements). Three straight hours of cursing, yelling, cringing, growling, and punching my armrest finally paid off.

Now if only I could get passed 'One Shot, One Kill' and 'No Fighting in the War Room' I'd be done.
no fighting in the war room made me more upset than mile high club, and i beat it much quicker...the reason it pissed me off is because i got all the way to the end (well, right NEAR the end) without getting a checkpoint and then died...so i had to replay basically the entire mission over...next run through was much simpler plus i got good checkpoints.


One Shot, One Kill didnt really give me problems :/


then again, i set Mcmillan down, put down my c4, and claymores, picked him up and put him in the designated area, got MORE c4 and claymores (guess it kinda glitched out, or just expect automatically sets your thing to a certain number figuring you hadnt used them anyways) set those, then hid in the buildings...until the chopper drew real close, then rand towards Macmillan, set off the c4 which killed ALOT of people, picked him up and darted to the heli...

Mile High Club has alot of luck involved seeing as your squadmates are retarded....but once you realize you get the same amount of time to shoot the hostage regardless of how long it took you to get to him, its alot easier to think about your next move rather than rushing...too much...plus...shotgun are king.

Got 1000/1000 on CoD4 yesterday, wasn't over hard really. The main part i had trouble with was the corridor sections in no fighting in the war room. Other than that nothing took me more than a few goes. No where near as hard as CoD2 was on veteran.

I had a plan like that in 1S,1K. There's a small booth in the middle of the area that you can simply lay down in that enemies don't go in. Grenades barely ever get in and if they do it's extremely easy to just throw them back before it explodes. The only problem I had with that spot, I believe, was rushing out led to immediate death... Perhaps better set claymores and C4 would change that and because it's so close to MacMillan it'd save a lot of time.

An error indeed, server error to be precise :P

Looks like these could be the GoW2 Achievements:

I will warn you though, they do contain story spoilers:

I should point out that those aren't confirmed, just a rumour but they sound good/legit.

Someone should buy it. Once you've paid for it they can't not send it to you otherwise it's false advertising. :P

Oh how tempted I am to look at the list, but would really enjoy to have some surprise when I buy the game. I already know about Seriously 2.0 and even if that was the only achievement in the game I'd be satisfied because I'll enjoy getting it.

Is it still worth picking up the original Gears? I'm getting dead desperate for something new to play x_x

edit: I've also got people on GRcade testing to see if that Rock Band thing is legit.

edit, the second: http://www.twenga.co.uk/shop-reviews/24-Studio-6883-0-0

It seems not.

You have a good two months for Gears. I bought my own copy in late July just to play with a couple of friends and plan to sell it when I get Gears 2 (if I am in need of money).

A gimmick similar to the Halo 3 helmets. What a waste of money.

Limited edition includes gold-plated Lancer for multiplayer? Damn, I just might buy it so I don't look like a nub online. Or perhaps the people with gold will look like nubs. =o Hmm.

If you get a gold plated lancer, your already a nub, scrub and everything in between.
