Gears of War 2 to have linked Achievements

[sock merchant]

Gears of war 2 is all the rage of late.  Having been the focus of Microsoft's E3 Press conference, it went on to tease the fans some more at Comic-Con.  Mr Cliff B announced that the achievements you gained in the first Gears of War will have benefits for you when the sequel gets released in November this year.  While he only mentioned three examples, I am guessing there will be more.  The ones mentioned include:

- 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

It not mentioned whether this is limited to Multiplayer, but one would assume so.  I am yet to see what benefit being the massive target that is Raam will provide (good luck finding cover), but at least they are trying to link the games.
