Gears of War 2 got some much needed love today with a new update that will fix many of the mulitplayer bugs and along with it, several new achievements! I never experienced any of the bugs I keep hearing about…but I do love me some achievements!
A few months back, Epic Vice President Mark Rein told IGN what would be included in the update: "In addition to these bug fixes, Epic plans to increase penalties for players who quit matches early, add additional spawn protection against planted grenades and chainsaw attacks and include the ability to see the flag carrier position in the Submission mode." Rein also said Epic has "fixed the client-side hit detection issues with the Gnasher shotgun, which should improve the weapon's performance in laggy online matches." Also in the update is a few tweeks, such as more frequent achievement progress notifications.
Along with the patch and bug fixes are these 7 new achievements:
Annex: Now With Execution Rules 75 
Win an Annex match on each Flashback and Combustible Map Pack map (public matches only)
