Kotaku reports that at Comic-Con Cliff Bleszinski had some interesting things to say about Gears of War 2. It seems that certain achievements from the first Gears game will carry over to Gears 2:

Gears of War 2 [will] feature “linked Achievements.” In short, goals reached in the original Gears of War will carry over to the sequel, giving the player bonuses. Cliff listed three examples of how linked Achievements will work.

Keep in mind, some may be light spoilers.

- 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

Bleszinski didn’t expand much beyond those three linked
Achievements, nor did he mention if those unlockables would be limited
to either single-player or multiplayer portions of Gears 2.

Cool mother lickin’ (as old Gregg would say) stuff. Gears keeps getting better and better. Time to drink some Baileys from a shoe.
