It's gonna take at least 28 days to max this one!

[msummi12]

At least no difficulty cheevos. Co-op ones don't seem too bad if the drop in/out works well.

[vetteindreams]

yep i agree msummi - now to see the how the lag effects me

[bfmv lfc]

I really don't like co-op/online achievements but it won't stop it being a day 1 for me.

^^Start your xbox offline, change the date to 26, 27 (or 28 if you want it to be your first cheevo) days before the day it actually is. Make your first save. Back to dashboard, connect to live, date gets changed back to normal, start the game, tada Achievement with timestamp 28 days before everyone else that didn't think of that

[Randoman]

Great, achievement list was looking nice 'till the co-op ones show up...

why wouldnt they call it "28 days later"!!?
thats like the perfect opportunity passed right up, wtf.

either way, im so excited for this game to finally arrive. i will be around this forum looking for members to buddy up with on co-op

[roadkillsamich]

they all look pretty straight forward to me. The game might actually be good enough to play for 28 days, but the date change method also works. Still can't wait.

i noticed the achievements for doing co-op with a few people, is there going to be a chapter select or will do u think u would have to do the co-op missions during 1 playthrough?

i have had a look about it but cannot find much info on it.

Oh I see what they did there.

These achievement sound fun to get, and in my opinion, finding random people online to play co-op with is always pretty fun, so long as they aren't people who:

A) Have no idea as to what to bloody do.
B) Are 10 years or younger.
C) Consistently, and I meant CONSISTENTLY, talk through the headset.

But yeah, these achievements look fun, however challenging some may turn out to be.

[DerEnglaender]

tbh none of the achievements that require co-op look like any skill is required. the only potential issue would be people dropping out cause some of them look a bit lengthy.

[Morbious17]

I don't see any that look like a pain like completing campaigns on expert in L4D. Also, why are so many people saying "cheevo/chievo"? It looks and sounds lazy.

[chriss1983]

Yeh the game does look abit long for some co op missions.. but ill be getting this soon and looking for peeps 2 join with, to find out

awesome!!....i was worried that one of the secret cheevos was going continue the zombie genocide gag with "kill 53,597 zombies". happy that's not the case

I really want to like this game, but I can't stand the number of online/co-op achievements. I just want to enjoy the game, I don't like having to hunt down some random people I've never met and never will to spend hours of playtime with just to keep my percentage up. I'll probably still buy it, but the excessive co-op pushed this from a day 1 to 'eh, I'll wait for the review' game.

According to the devs, this game was developed from the ground up as a co-op game. Why would you expect there not to be co-op chievo's?

LOL at people that base their buying decisions on chievos. How about basing it on something like, I duno, maybe the game is good or might be fun to play? I look at chievos as something extra to do while I play, not the reason to play it.

Most of it looks fairly easy anyway.

[JuSt BLaZe]

Oh come ooooooooooooooooooooon, what is with all these Coop-Achievements, haven't they learned jackshit, dammit. Rest looks pretty cool so far but I already hate:

People Person -.-

So just enjoy the game. You don't ALWAYS have to play for achievements...

[SpectreSoldier]

In my opinion these are a good list of cheevos and maybe some of them will be funny to do.
Example: Exploring the island

[gimme a hell ya]

i myself really dont buy games unless they are co-op. i have 3 friends to play with so i hope you can get 80 percent of the chevos in co-op

[Axel 360]

I´m fine with MP cheevos. My real problem with them is the fact that this game lacks of off-line multiplayer on split-screen or system link.

That really piss me off. Borderlands was cool in that way, okey only two players, but awesome anyway. They say this game can´t generate two world views at once and that´s lame, the graphics don´t look so good to say it´s impossible. And apparently there will no be huge hordes of zombies, so why exactly was so hard to make split-screen co-op?

It really suck they drop the possibility, I´m sure that had ended up resulting in more sales. This is main reason I´m not getting this game till is a real bargain.

[Bringin SXC bak]

I've already unlocked 'Busy, busy, busy'... I can't stop playing this game. It's so fun!!

It's in the Jungle area which will be in Act III, there are a couple of quests that you receive that you can't actually finish immediately until you advance to the next Act.
