Tatanko Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 As long as they don't have tedious achievements like the Demo 2.0, it's all good. The only thing that makes it tedious about it is that it's frustrating and requires some good luck. I'm all for achievements that take a little time to get, but I agree that they could have chosen something else. Then again, it did force you to really take advantage of the game engine which is admirable in an achievement in my opinion. It kind of almost embodies what the point of an achievement is, really: to reward you for doing things in a game you might not otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosenwrath5 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I say have more humorous achievements like the dentist. But they should make them secret though cause i got the Dentist by thinking it would be a funny thing to do and i laughed for like 10 minutes alot funnier then when I read Darwins Parachute and actually tried for it. They're so much funnier when they're accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroticAlias Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Which is exactly how it should be, in my opinion. I hate to admit that I boosted ~12 of my first 20 demo kills and I did not get nearly the satisfaction out of getting it that I could have. I've since gotten plenty more and they have been way more satisfying. All mine was legit! Only one I boosted was Et tu brute? Obviously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooljoe Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Okay I have a few decent ideas: An achievement for reaching at least rank 40. (rank 22 in bad company 2 was not prestigious. An achievement called a taste of every gunniety for gold starring every weapon. Hard to earn avatar awards to show off to your friends. Just pls no demo 2.0:uzi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Delta Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I doubt they'll include avatar awards unfortunately, because they're adding stuff to the marketplace. I would love some though. Also, gold starring every weapon would be a pain, I bronze starred all weapons in BC2 for the medal and some of them weapons are BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatanko Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also, gold starring every weapon would be a pain, I bronze starred all weapons in BC2 for the medal and some of them weapons are BAD. I got to gold star 2 with every single thing in the game (excluding Vietnam) before I even got to L50. It's not that bad, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Delta Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The m1a1 brings up some bad memories, and I know it's not included for the medal, but I tried to bronze the garand too and got creamed while using it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPiNG Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I dont mind expanssions really..It would be nicer IMO for a DLC of new maps and more weapons like a rmington 700 30-06 for recon, TAR21 for assault ect... that is just me tired of WW2 lol theres a reason plp are tired of WaW cod..

In Vietnam, the Garand was a fantastic alternative to the assault weapons. I dont mind expanssions really..It would be nicer IMO for a DLC of new maps and more weapons like a rmington 700 30-06 for recon, TAR21 for assault ect... It's much harder to add DLC for weapons. They can do it for maps that will be separate from the regular maps, but it's hard to add weapons and gadgets on after the fact because they would have to figure out a way to make them work for people who don't have the add-on content. The SPECACT kits in BC2 worked because they were part of the game's initial coding and were simply unlocked via DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEG23 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) The Thompson and Garand were better suited for use in the Vietnam expansion, in my opinion. In Vietnam, the Garand was a fantastic alternative to the assault weapons. I struggled to do any good with the old school weapons. I don't know if it was balancing (the excuse i told myself) or pyschological, the idea of going up against an enemy player who is using an M4A1 or M60, i just felt out matched. I pop up spraying 9mm rounds only to be taken out by a few 7.62's I personally hope there is no gold star every weapon achievement, only because i found some weapons suited my playstyle better than others, especially when it came to bolt action vs semi automatic rifles, i like the security of knowing i can double tap. Not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but getting a gold star for half of the weapons would be a breeze, but the other half would be a grind.

Not sure if anyone else feels the same way, but getting a gold star for half of the weapons would be a breeze, but the other half would be a grind. In preperation of BF3 i have been trying to get a gold star as a mininum of all my weapons, i have like some weapons with 2's/3's/4's but not all my guns as gold so i've began to use them. I find it good; sure it makes me have to completely change my play style and puts me way out of my comfort zone (SVU, VSS, NeoStead 2000 im looking at YOU!) but I like the fact that i would have to adjust my style. Thus now where i do a kit switch i know how exactly I like to play with them. I completely understand the wish to not want to have to use a gun one doesnt like though, but i dont know; for me it changed my mind on a lot of weapons, especially the SVU. That thing with an ACOG is just mean, quick double/triple tap and you have an easy kill from almost all ranges... the Typer 88 on the other hand :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i agree with you in forcing yourself to play with all guns, and i'm tempted to to that with BF3. I think with me it's more the psychological effect. Considering when it's a close much and i'm part of a very competitive team, i can't help but thinking i need to switch back to a gun i know i can use well in order to win, but like you said there may be a hidden gem i am yet to master and truly rain destruction with:uzi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison06 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 With all the bickering between EA and Activision it wouldn't surprise me if they included an achievement with a nod to Call Of Duty/Infinity ward etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convas Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Yeah, so, we're 34 days away from launch. WHERE DA LIST AT DICE?! Most game's lists are out a good 2-4 months before the game. Hell, even Modern Warfare 3's list got out, and it's due a few days after Battlefield 3.

head0r Inc Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I am pretty sure the game will have some ridiculous multiplayer achievements, but I don't care, I will get them anyways. <3 Betting on those kind of stuff: -10.000+ kills in MP -Unlocking A LOT of stuff in MP (they said each class needs 100+ hrs to unlock everything for it, I personally don't think you have to unlock EVERYTHING for that achievement, but a lot tho.) -Destruction 3.0???? -Maybe some vehicle Achievements like in Vietnam.. dont think it gonna be something stupid like a Helicopter Roadkill again.

Mother Beef Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 -Destruction 3.0???? NO, NO, NO, NO and NO!. Burn that idea in the firey depths of hell. I despised Destruction 2.0 achievement; it was cool in theory, but considering how easy it is to get out of a collapsing building, it came down to simple luck/hope that the person inside was a moron and could hear- 1- The foundations of the building collapsing 2- The character shouting "This place is coming down, we gotta get the fuck outta here!" I got it eventually after 80hrs of (amazing) playtime, but every time i went to try and get the achievement i would nearly cry in frustration as people would simply jump out of the building :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatanko Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 and even happier to see rank 45 I'm glad so many people are responding positively to the news about this achievement.
