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

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ZimbuTheMonkey @ Jul 16 2010, 11:39 PM) <a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=1779617"><{POST_SNAPBACK}></a></div><div class='quotemain'>I don't have any specific achievements (I'm new to NS so I have no clue), but I have some general ideas.

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)</div>
What he said. Having something like the TF2 achievements in NS2 would suck pretty badly.

aeroripper · July 2010

"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.

PHLAK · July 2010

<b>Like a Boss</b> - Play the commander an entire round and win

Atone · July 2010

"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

Dusseldorf · July 2010

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)

PHLAK · July 2010

<b>PEELS HEER!</b> - Drop 50 med packs (lifetime achievement)

Locane · July 2010

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.

Plus I REALLY like these achievements XD

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.

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.
