A few Achievement ideas...

[Undedd Jester]

Far as I see it, achievements should have 2 parameters to be fun.

1. They need to be doable without frustratingly hard objectives, where players will just quit mid game to have another go

e.g. No damage at all in a game? Seriously that is near impossible for even the best players, which is one of L4D's problems.

2. They shouldn't force players to play badly to get the achievement

e.g. the placebo effect in TF2. As a medic kill 5 players with an Ubercharge ready but unused. Its hard enough to kill 5 players in a round as a medic let alone in 1 life with an uber ready.

I like achievements but I don't like it when they force me to play poorly or can slip through your fingers at the slightest moment.

Well, in L4D it's possible to don't make damage on teammates... Don't take shotguns that's all :/, and you'll do a expert game wihtout have a guy on ground or dead.

Maybe that's possible on KF.

Its possible but its frustratingly hard. More often than not its caused by someone thinking its clear and running out of a doorway jsut as you see a smoker about to grab you. I'm just as guilty of this as anyone else, and given that most games on L4D take an hour at minimum if you never fail, thats alot of time to accidently hit someone, and 1 wayward shot and its all over.

Nah L4D annoys me with its do this in a entire game achievements, cause 1 mistake and you have to start all over again.

... That's why they've made CC (Crash Course), with only 2 maps!

Well, I just have few campaign achievements left, with "Don't get vomited", "Don't take any damage from Special Infected". It's not very vital to have all, I play the most part of time on Versus, that's the best game mode

Easy with 3 bots> run like hell > getting many of the achievements.

Nice advice :O

Lol, I would rather get my achievement like a man without using exploit. And I'm sure there are already a hell lot of people using exploit to get many of the achievements. If they want them without effort, let them. As you cannot stop them even at this moment with the achievements available now.

True, but I think atm the only achievements that would encourage this is the "win a long game on this and this map" but at least these are possible unlike the "take no damage during a long game". Theres too much margin for error during those 10 waves, it doesnt really matter wether you are a very good player its still going to be extremely hard. Its not even about skill anymore, more like luck. If you somehow magically managed to survive those 10 waves, most likely the Patriarch will get you anyway.

Some people are very obsessed about having ALL the achievements so no doubt they would eventually resort to exploits just in order to get the list full and show it off to their friends. This sort of achievement basically forces you to do so , and it shouldnt be that way.

But yeah, I guess we just need to work harder to get rid of all exploits on official maps so at least we dont have to watch them ruin our games. I dont care if they cheat their way through the game as long as it doesnt happen in the same server Im playing on, since it affects my gameplay experience too..

One shot to kill 2 FP is impossible...

I've done it plenty of times. The only real chance is at the beginning of wave 10 when, for some reason, 2 fp spawn and they are usually facing each other. One moonwalks until one of them rages then they split.

Many of the above achievements sound great. I think the best achievements are the silly ones that would never happen unless someone was specifically trying for that achievement. Like some crazy number of kills with an unpopular weapon or having to kill a high level specimen with a lower powered weapon.

Oh, and 65 for 65 achievements here.
