I havn’t seen any input from 343 concerning the attainability of the new achievements. The ones that seem to be the largest cause of angst are the defiant achievements, (especially “all alone”) personally I would throw in the “emergency room” achievment too.
My proposed solutions:
Defiant achievements :
- Increase weighting of 1-flag CTF games on Condemned and Highlands in the premium battle playlist and maybe team objective too.
Infection achievements :
- add a new premium infection playlist with Condemned*(uplink)* weighted fairly heavily (possibly top vote option) along with anniversary maps. ( as it can be hard to infect 3 players in one round when there are only 4 uninfected to begin with in anniversary FFA)
or
- make living dead Defiant required and increase uplink weighting (I know this isn’t the best solution)
or
- add uplink alpha zombies to anniversary FFA
And the other way to appease those achievement hunters like myself would be to allow the Defiant achievments at least to be earned on other maps, assuming the required maps have been purchased.
By all means if you disagree, and have other solutions, or if you do agree, please feel free to share thoughts. Also if this were to be shown to a 343 employee it may help, but don’t spam them, after all who knows? 343 might already be working on something now. crosses fingers
