As Norton already suggested, I'd try and come up with achievements that show people how it's meant to be played. It would probably make sense to come up with separate achievements for every class so they can reinforce the roll of the class. But with Unknown Worlds seeming to be Valve geeks, they probably would have come up with that trail of thought on their own ;)

Haha this is great.
edit: I'd like to add that this seems to encourage poor decisions, so perhaps a stipulation should be that you must exhaust the ammo in your guns first. Not your spare clips, just have no ammo currently loaded when you knife the onos. Could still lead to stupid behavior in pubs though.

Numbers of kills or other stuff to do is ofcourse a subject to change, and as I said in another post achivements for this game should be more like game objectives things that will contibrute to team play and stay true to what NS is all about and not send players off doing stupid stuff.
ps. ill keep updating this list if I came up with other stuff

Some players seem to have a problem with the achievement system in general because it may detract from the overall NS experience that they are accustomed to. So I'm thinking maybe make achievements that do not conflict with the general flow of the game.
Achievements that:
-reward behavior that promotes teamwork and productivity during a match (Disciplined soldier/drone: Complete a commander's request 5 times. This can have many ranks as well) -unlock after a great feat (killing 5+ aliens/marines within a certain amount of time while completing a required objective) -are harmless and don't disrupt other players (use the armory for the first time, kill your first Fade, etc.)
Not achievements that:
-require unproductive actions to unlock at the detriment of the entire team (go an entire match without killing anything, do not be killed during an entire match, etc.) - Basically stuff that would encourage players to work against the team -provide an incentive for players to be inflexible ("Sorry I can't build that / change to that class / use that weapon because I am trying to unlock this achievement") -unlock gameplay benefits (I think achievements should be 100% optional and just be for fun)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> What he said. Having something like the TF2 achievements in NS2 would suck pretty badly.

"Making Bacon" - Use switchaxe to kill a gorge (icon looks like a gorge lying on its back with its tongue hanging out)
You should get an achievement to commemorate the warm fuzzy feeling you get from using a melee weapon to kill a defenseless gorge, especially the first one.
"There's something you don't see everyday... Thank God." - Have an alien hive in your line of sight as a Marine. (The name would be even better for surviving a Devour, but that ability got cut.)
"How did I get to be so good?" - Command a game to victory.
"Just lost my appetite" - Puke up X structures as a gorge.
"I miss my knife" - X SwitchAx kills.
"What did I miss?" - Telefrag an enemy.
"Outlet for my aggression" - Wear the exo-skeleton suit.
"Nano-gridlock" - Control over 50% of the powergrid.
I realize half of them are named after the NS1 taunts. :p
Big Brother- This one could either be a "parasite x marines" lifetime kind of achievement, or "Parasite the entire marine team over the course of a single game"
Silent But Deadly- Kill multiple marines with lerk gas while having the Silence upgrade (dunno if this is relevant to NS2)

This will promote commander spamming and i dont think its good to have achievements that will disrupt game play

here are some initial ideas:
Baller Builder: As gorge kill 10 marines without dying. Pantser: As gorge take out 5 jetpackers with your hydra in one game. gorgeWOW!: Soak more than 1000 damage in a single game as gorge. Bad Medicine: As gorge heal spray 3 marines to death in one game. Slip & Slide: As gorge belly slide more than 1000 meters in one game.
Psycho Rhino: Gore more than 10 marines within 3 minutes as onos. Boniva Spokesman: Prevent 1000 damage with bone shield as onos. Disco Inferno: Stomp! all night to disable structures for 5 minute as onos. Oh Noes: Take out 10 buildings in one life as onos.
I'm Batman: take out atleast 5 marines with spikes while roosting as lerk. Hang 10: Roost for a total of 10 minutes as lerk in one game. Hovar tank: take out 10 marines with spikes while flying. Silent But Deadly: take out 20 marines with gas in one game. Clorf Camper: take out 20 marines without moving more than X distance.
Don't Look Down: Fall to death with more than 50 res worth of gear. Fame & Fashion: take out 20 aliens with a single shotgun. Its a trap!: take out 15 aliens with mines in a single game. Neutered: spend no more than 30 seconds at the armory in one game. Hot stuff: weld for more than 3 minutes with 500 armor points restored in one game.
Pig Power: As commander use the beacon more than 10 times in one game. Just Like Starting Over: Commander must relocate after 15 minutes and still win the game. Vaccination: Take out at least 4 hives while they are building. Commander Idle: Allow for no more than 1 minute of time to pass in a game when an upgrade could be going.

For the record, I think silly achievements would be a lot of fun.
Yes, you might have new people disrupting gameplay to get them, but seriously, in NS1, how many elite ninja marines would put 6 bullets in a skulk and shank it, just to see the knife icon?
My point is that you're going to have people doing it anyway, and in most of my experience playing NS the social repercussions for screwing off when you should be helping your team are enough of a deterrent that it kept people from griefing opportunistically.
Name of the achivement : for Marine / for Alien [icon visual]
Ideas: - incoming: jump as a marine on a alien/jump as a alien on a marine (if its possible)[No idea for icon.] - don't like cute: kill 10 gorges (marines only) [gorge face with cute eyes] - i am the species#1: kill 10 skulks in one round / kill 10 marines in one round [#1] - slaughter: kill any alien 5 times with a knife in on round / kill 5 marine in 10 seconds [a cleaver with blood] - surfer: stand 10 seconds on a building [surfboard] - stand still: kill 5 enemys while you don't move [saluting person] - laugher: taunt after killing a alien / chuckle after killing a marine [speech balloon] - cannon fodder: get killed 5 times by the same lerk / get killed 5 times from the same sentry ["a bullet in a meat" icon] - Command and Conquer: did all orders you got from the commander in one round [CnC icon] - medal of honor: win a round as marine and alien (SURE not same time...) [medals] - pathetic: get 10 deaths in 30 seconds [a bone icon] - field medic: weld 1000 Armor points / heal 1000 hp [health icon] - Elite: kill every player of the enemy team 1 time in 1 round [1337 icon] - road runner: walk 100.000 meters as a marine / alien at all [a goal flag]

It's very unproductive to work in absolutes.
What's wrong with an achievement that promotes teamwork? A new player will unlock and it will be positive reinforcement to stay the course. Achievements can be fun and rewarding if done properly.

As others have said, I think these should be silly achievements that sort of tie in with the culture of the game. 50 awesomely hilarious achievements will be a lot better than 20 "are they kidding?" serious achievements.

Numbers of kills or other stuff to do is ofcourse a subject to change, and as I said in another post achivements for this game should be more like game objectives things that will contibrute to team play and stay true to what NS is all about and not send players off doing stupid stuff.
ps. ill keep updating this list if I came up with other stuff
Some players seem to have a problem with the achievement system in general because it may detract from the overall NS experience that they are accustomed to. So I'm thinking maybe make achievements that do not conflict with the general flow of the game.
Achievements that:
-reward behavior that promotes teamwork and productivity during a match (Disciplined soldier/drone: Complete a commander's request 5 times. This can have many ranks as well)
-unlock after a great feat (killing 5+ aliens/marines within a certain amount of time while completing a required objective)
-are harmless and don't disrupt other players (use the armory for the first time, kill your first Fade, etc.)
Not achievements that:
-require unproductive actions to unlock at the detriment of the entire team (go an entire match without killing anything, do not be killed during an entire match, etc.) - Basically stuff that would encourage players to work against the team
-provide an incentive for players to be inflexible ("Sorry I can't build that / change to that class / use that weapon because I am trying to unlock this achievement")
-unlock gameplay benefits (I think achievements should be 100% optional and just be for fun)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
What he said. Having something like the TF2 achievements in NS2 would suck pretty badly.
You should get an achievement to commemorate the warm fuzzy feeling you get from using a melee weapon to kill a defenseless gorge, especially the first one.
"How did I get to be so good?" - Command a game to victory.
"Just lost my appetite" - Puke up X structures as a gorge.
"I miss my knife" - X SwitchAx kills.
"What did I miss?" - Telefrag an enemy.
"Outlet for my aggression" - Wear the exo-skeleton suit.
"Nano-gridlock" - Control over 50% of the powergrid.
I realize half of them are named after the NS1 taunts. :p
Silent But Deadly- Kill multiple marines with lerk gas while having the Silence upgrade (dunno if this is relevant to NS2)
Build 1000 Armorys as a commander within X seconds of being requested.
Maybe have an icon of the medic balloon from TF2 as a nice little homage.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This will promote commander spamming and i dont think its good to have achievements that will disrupt game play

Yes, you might have new people disrupting gameplay to get them, but seriously, in NS1, how many elite ninja marines would put 6 bullets in a skulk and shank it, just to see the knife icon?
My point is that you're going to have people doing it anyway, and in most of my experience playing NS the social repercussions for screwing off when you should be helping your team are enough of a deterrent that it kept people from griefing opportunistically.
Plus I REALLY like these achievements XD
Ideas:
- incoming: jump as a marine on a alien/jump as a alien on a marine (if its possible)[No idea for icon.]
- don't like cute: kill 10 gorges (marines only) [gorge face with cute eyes]

- slaughter: kill any alien 5 times with a knife in on round / kill 5 marine in 10 seconds [a cleaver with blood]
- surfer: stand 10 seconds on a building [surfboard]
- stand still: kill 5 enemys while you don't move [saluting person]
- laugher: taunt after killing a alien / chuckle after killing a marine [speech balloon]
- cannon fodder: get killed 5 times by the same lerk / get killed 5 times from the same sentry ["a bullet in a meat" icon]
- Command and Conquer: did all orders you got from the commander in one round [CnC icon]

- Elite: kill every player of the enemy team 1 time in 1 round [1337 icon]
- road runner: walk 100.000 meters as a marine / alien at all [a goal flag]
ROFL!
It's very unproductive to work in absolutes.
What's wrong with an achievement that promotes teamwork? A new player will unlock and it will be positive reinforcement to stay the course.
Achievements can be fun and rewarding if done properly.
ROFL (again)
That is great.
As others have said, I think these should be silly achievements that sort of tie in with the culture of the game. 50 awesomely hilarious achievements will be a lot better than 20 "are they kidding?" serious achievements.
