Realy annoyed about this too guys. Was looking forward to this game but will give it a miss now. Surely it should just have been released as a DLC package for the first game if this is the way they are going with the achievements. Seems like because this is a Microsoft developed game they can change the rules (a bit like when Halo 3 was first to bump up the allowed added gamerscore!). If another 3rd party developer had said they were releasing a full retail game with no achievement would that have been allowed? I doubt it! At the very least the game should be released at a budget price point to compensate for this (say £14.99?). Seems like a big mistake on Microsofts part, they know how popular achievements have become and I can see a move like this having a negative effect on sales for this game. They have lost my day one purchase anyway, the only way I'll get this now is from the bargain bins in a few months time.

It's a poor state of affairs if people are going to boycott a game because there's hardly any achievements for it. Whatever happened to playing a game for bloody fun? The points are of no consequence and what should matter is what's on the game disc.
