Crackdown Fans To Decide Achievements

[Weapon 117]

During to course of Major Nelson's interview with BIG VIP on his Podcast, it has being revealed that Real Time Worlds will be relying on fans of the game to help them make up the remaining 100 achievement points for Crackdown. Right now the game has only 900 points which can be unlocked by getting all the 43 Achievements available but new rules state that all retail games must contain 1000 points.

Great!

Achievement: Kiss this game and the producers
350 Gamerscore. (To the new 1250 Gamerscore).

Seriously, I think it is great that the producers are asking what we want to play for, truly making this a game by the people for the people.

There should be a playtime achievement. Those are always a surprise to get (unless you leave your 360 on overnight for it)

Good move by the producers in my opinion. I won't be getting the game so it doesn't effect me but it is nice to see that people can get the chance to make their own achievements for a game.

How about an achievemnt for being Airborn for Like an Hour or a couple of hours, I basically unboostable (Holding A, Probably wont work) and it shows, in a way, how mcuh you played the game. That would be awesome.

Olympic Athlete
Be Airborn for Over 2 Hours (On Foot)
15G

Or how about the same thing excpet inside a car,

DareDevil
Be Airborn in a car for over an hour
15G

Or How about one for.... Playing the beta, that would be awesome.

Was this Free?
Play the Halo 3 Beta
15G

Or actual achievemtns for the beta inself.

True Halo Fan
100 Kills in Online Play (Beta, Ranked)
15G

Achievements for the beta? awful idea. What if I buy crackdown in a year's time when Halo is out? How do I get that achievement?

[KilluhKam]

i think it should have a beta achievement. that way the beta is actually worth something and would be worth playing more then once.

[ScottEvil30]

Look its not hard. Even though EA seem to disagree, all achievements should be obtainable by everyone who buys the game. a beta achievement obviously won't be achievable to someone who buys the game once the beat is over. its not difficult to see why a beta achievement is about the worst idea ever.

Lets face it - having the Beta is a freebee marketing and assessment tool. It's ben done as we gamers seem hellbent on wanting to play AAA titles at any cost and Microsoft/Bungie are determined to make this a flagship record-breaking next gen title. It is being done (IMO) for them to fine tune and tweak the online play of Halo3.

Crackdown is an awesome title and as such deserves to be assessed on it's own merits with it's own set of achievements.
I believe that once on general release we should run a thread open for achievement suggestions. These could be voted on by a select committee and we could then forward on our recommendations to the developer as the elite x360 site & community (if admins/staff would be so kind ;) ).

The voice of many stands a greater chance of being heard than the voice of the few.

Its almost the same as Quake 4. If you bought it early, you played online. Now you go online, And For the next 4 Hours, You wont find a single person...

[ScottEvil30]

Thats different. completely. you can't account for achievements being unobtainable due to a lack of ppl playing your game but you can account for an achievement being unobtainable because you attached it to a limited time beta.

Teabag all kingpins 50 points.
Create a new agent 5 points.
Stone Clone Crazy (die and revive 250 times) 25 points.
Hawk Eyed Hero (headshot from x metres) 20 points.
