Rustlung
Furnace
Atrium
Back Alley

Mine
Parking
Quiet Place
Streets
Waterfront
Yards
Factory
Subway
Shipyard
Urban

Complex
Ruins
Emergence

And, the DLC characters:

Bernadette Mataki
COG Onyx Guard
Micheal Barrick
Minh Young Kim
Tai Kaliso
RAAM
Skorge
Big Rig Dizzy

Loads more names in the team line-ups in the video below, wonder how long before it's taken down!

Was I the only one that saw a "D. Carmine" on that list? There was supposed to be a fourth brother...

Rod's latest Q&A has just finished, here are a few snippits:

November DLC Achievements Revealed!

These are all for horde.

Host with the most (25g)
Host full party on a DLC map

Beast achievement (25g)
Host full party on a DLC map

What does this button do (50g)
500 kills with Silverback rockets (you have to unlock them first)

Its hammer time (50g)
Max out support strikes (after unlocking level 4 command center)

Like a boss (100g)
Defeat a boss wave on hardcore as 5 onyx guards

The Vengeful medal will be toned down along with the Sawed Off apparently!

The classic playlist that I mentioned previously may not happen but could become a future event.

I'll post the whole Q&A in the morning, it's late now and Craig is tired!

Full recap of Rod's Q&A

Good read, wasn't aware that Blood Drive was the most popular map for Horde on Gears 2, I think I only tried it once and that was during a Torque Bow Tag event, usually played on River and Day One!

Cool, vengeful medal is ridiculous, you have to Execute someone who's killed you 5 times ..... 75 TIMES!!

Achieves look ok, but i think i'll nail them as fast as possible, they're the type that the longer you leave them the harder they get.

Anyone up for Like a Boss achievement on release?

Cliffy B has mentioned on Twitter that we may get a classic playlist on Gears 3 in the future which means no sawed off or retro lancer, just the good old Gears 1 & 2 starting weapons, thoughts?

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

How do you win them?

Currently there are two ways of getting them, both involve Jack In The Box (US Fast Food restaurant), one way is to go in and buy a drink, you get a code which you then use on their website and you can then win the skins. The other way is to write to them and they email you the code.

At first anyone could get them from their Facebook page but because of demand all the codes went extremely fast, I won them thanks to a member on the Epic forums, I won it by guessing his girlfriend's name!

No news yet on when Europe will get them.

You should get on the forums and enter all the little competitions that members are running.
