Achievements!

[MrIrony]

I did a quick search through the forum and couldn't find a similar topic, so I figured I'd start it up. If this already exists, kindly point me in the right direction!

What sort of achievements would you like to see in the game?

Personally, I'd love it if after a checkpoint, when the achievement screen came up, it showed you how many Infected were spawned in total and who killed how many. It'd just be a simple pointless statistic, but it would definitely give you boasting rights!

"Man, once, we were up against, like, literally 300 Infected..."

[Halfeatendonkey]

Pretty much as yours

[jaydig]

the images we've seen of the 'awards/demerits' screen are pretty blurry, but i seem to recall that it tells each player how many of each monster type they have killed. I dont think it has 'total monsters spawned', though.

[Shrubberyjsc]

Yeah, It'd be interesting to know how many were spawned.

After I played, I suggested that it show how many kills you got with each weapon. My bro got a sweet boomer kill with a 'nade.

I might further my suggestion to keeping a permanent record of how many kills you get with each weapon, so that others will know your preferred weapon and how good you are with it before they let you on their team.

Personal stats are cool; I think the devs want to stay as faraway form a CS stats system as much as possible because it could create some tension between teammates. If someone thinks they are better then the rest of the team then they tend to get cocky, and that's when a team falls apart.

I bet they will implement achievements like in TF2, too. You know, 10kills with a single sentry, playing with 8 friends on the same server, 5 revenge kills, etc.
I can imagine, that they are working on that right now.

yup

i want a "The Only Survivour" achievment for being the only survivour of a campaign lol

and somthing like "Infected Killer" for killing 40-50 infected in one campaign;)

[PewPew]

i want a "The Only Survivour" achievment for being the only survivour of a campaign lol

That wouldn't happen because some assholes would just team kill to get the achievement

There is an achievment like this.

This way they wouldnt get the achievment. Instead they would get demerits for teamkilling. Also, teamkillers will get kicked by teammates since everyone can call in a votekick anytime =)

Heh, that's a pretty normal figure for a few intense maps actually.

But yeah, having some crazy amount of kills by the end of the finale should be some sort of award.

I'm not really worried about some people being cocky. I saw that in SWAT4. Those guys were either the first to die, or they were good.

It's all in how well you play. If you can play really well, I don't mind if you let others know, just back it up in the field.

=D

I made a post like this a while ago, except it was discussing Xbox360 achievements and what would be interesting to see =]

[Sifer2]

You know I really don't care much for achievements at least X-Box Live style. Since that whole system was just designed to make you want to buy more games an get more points. Great marketing strategy there since its proven a bunch of people buy into it. An when I see it in PC games it just reminds me how much Live is a rip off an makes me mad lol.

To me if they are going to have achievements then I want unlockables. Let me actually get something if I go through the trouble to survive 100 games or save my teammates alot. Maybe new character skins like they did in RE: Outbreak. That game had alot of unlockables actually. You could unlock all the npc's as costumes to wear an they even had different stats an starting inventories.

[dontleave]

Good Conduct Ribbon anyone? - No team damage (kills)

Good Samaritan - share Health

An when I see it in PC games

No such thing.

Bandolier would be good if you could share ammo and stuff.

Second Hand Smoke - If you kill a survivor in your cloud of smoke, or if a friendly infected kills a survivor in your smoke.

Tongue Tied - Hit the tongue off a friendly survivor.

Well - Oiled Machine - Survive XXX Campaign without any casualties (similar to impenetrable defense or whatever from TF2)

Gunslinger - XXX kills with pistols.

(It'd be cool if you could have different levels for achievements, similar to the challenges in CoD4, like Gunslinger 1 could be XXX kills with dual pistols. Gunslinger 2 would be XXX+X kills with one pistol)

Buckshot - Kill multiple infected with one shotgun blast

[gorgoth]

Dontleave CoD:4 style achievements would so rock. That'd make me even happier to play it.

[Xerosnake90]

The COD4 challenge thing would be cool, but I'd rather have those as live achievements. I'm sure we won't be unlocking any new weapons and what not, but if we could, that would indeed be awesome.

[gorgoth]

Well W/e. Xbox Live achievements or otherwise, it'd be great.

[Xerosnake90]

Hell yea =] I wouldn't be surprised if the achievement things you unlock after every checkpoint make some of the XBL achievements. And I'm sure there are a ton we don't know about so it should be good. No wait, nvm, it WILL be good.

[MrIrony]

For the Infected, it seems to me there can only be so many Achievements that could be awarded. I guess some cool Achievements would be something related to the amount of chaos caused by your attack even after you died, though I think the Boomer already receives points for whatever his vomit-attracted Infected do.

Time-related Achievements for making it through a campaign in X amount of time.

Some sort of ratio Achievement comparing how much ammo you used to how many Infected you killed.

"The Architect", for anyone that uses the environment effectively.

Car Dodger: a very specific award for whoever manages to dodge having a car thrown at them by the Tank. I mean, c'mon, you've got to be able to brag about that!

Boss Survivor: if you somehow kill all the Boss Infected before they score any hits. May or may not exclude attacks by the Tank.

Last Action Hero: being the sole survivor to reach each of the checkpoints. Obviously negated if the reason they're dead is you.

Some sort of medal for making it through a campaign without any negative demerits. This one strikes me as a no-brainer.

Oh! For the Infected, as most are expected to die after/during the first attack, an Achievement for single-handedly taking out the Survivors would be cool, especially when doing it as the Hunter.

For the Tank, an award for throwing Survivors to their deaths off ledges. Obviously not applicable everywhere.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

for the infected...... tha suvrivevior killer or something
means: the 1 boss who got the luck to take out all the survi's at once!!!
if you get this youll be the master!

[Mibtao]

There should be a "last laugh" achievement for smokers (or any other talented infected) who can pull a survivor out of the escape vehicle.

[hooray for zombies]

That would be great, and as a little 'fuck you' to the survivor he should get a 'meatsnack' demerit for letting this happen



Welcome to the forums.

Probably the greatest idea for an achievement I've heard so far, yanking them away right before they enter or are near it should count as well =]

[dontleave]

Eh... Tank... on a Chopper? Wtflol

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

Tank.
only smokers or hunters..... bumbeling bafoon!

[Mibtao]

[Eh... Tank... on a Chopper?
smokers or hunters


That's what I meant, sorry if I didn't make it clear.

[Shrubberyjsc]

This is a bit of a tangent, but who still wants ammo sharing?

(Could be an opportunity for more merits 'n such)

[Mibtao]

Who would be up for the challenge if there was an achievement for taking out the witch using melee? You could call it something silly like witch hunter.

who still wants ammo sharing?
I dont think it would be necessary, so no.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

witch beater is better hunter sounds so inquisition...
