Forum Overview :: Left 4 Dead

Most of that I have no problem with. by Creexuls, a monster >:3 05/25/2008, 12:20pm PDT I do like how it has convinced some people to actually play medic. It's just that almost half of those achievements are only worth doing in achievementbox. They should just reconsider that, maybe swap them out with achievements that simply take time to build up, like the one million healing points. They've done the same thing with the DOD Source achievements, one where they want you to blow up 4 people with a single grenade, another where you have to get a kill with every single type of weapon in the game in one life. Most of them depend on, at the very least, playing on a full server of 32 people, and then a giant amount of luck. I played DOD Source for a few months back in the day and I don't think I've done any of the shit for the achievements, on accident or anything. I blew up 3 people with a single grenade once, ONCE, and that was on a FULL server with enemies that had crowded in just the right spot. They should rename the achievements to "challenges," that seems way more appropriate. Either that, or nerf all of them. A better idea for that blowing up 4 people achievement would be just blow up 2 people with an explosive but 5 times. Then, add a shotgun to the game. And make the ironsights on the rifles react faster.
