Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 09:32:30 AM Sounds like a waste of time. The achievements look a tad difficult and even if you're the first person to do it you;re not even guaranteed the prize |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 10:18:50 AM kinda lame rules. But great game for it! 1,000,000$ is going to be hard |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:00:58 AM The "race" part of it was taken out in case some people had their hands on the game early, legit or not. This levels the playing field and anyone who gets the game can try to win. |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:08:22 AM 4 weeks is faar to long to make this worthwhile imo, this game could EASILY be done in a week, should be that the first person who completes it with the first achievement attained tomorrow (friday), as long as there are no dubious achievements unlocked, the grease monkey tool could be used to determine the first person. |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:09:53 AM It's still a race though, because you're racing against the clock ;) |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 01:54:28 PM You shouldn't have to defend yourself against these nay-sayers. I don't have the game yet, 4 weeks somes, yes a bit generous but how can we complain about that?! At least this gives me a chance to make the most of the Gears weekend. It's a great prize and I will give it my best shot! |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 03:26:46 PM Oh I'm not defending ourselves Lumbo ... I mean A 0 E Monkey hasn't even played it ... so how could she know what's generous =P People who say it's too much time have underestimated how long it could take ... it's a beast =P |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 07:17:57 PM @Lumbo - Yeah definitely. A totally different shooter pace, and a truly authentic western experience which is always great ;) |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:28:46 PM @#9 at that pace it would take you 267 hours to get $1 million. |

Thursday, July 02, 2009 @ 11:34:52 PM I'm not sure anyone's gonna finish this? that means you need to play 10 hours a day for the whole month, unless Webb is just awful :) |

 | Comment #18 by Sir_Lumbo
Friday, July 03, 2009 @ 03:01:47 AM I've read that it depends on the gametype. Someone on the forums posted they got something around 10,000 after one match. I can't remember who it was though. If that's so then it should only take 100 good matches. Seeing as I'm usually a half-empty kind of guy, take the figure to be 200 matches. Thats 8 games a day for 4 weeks. Seems manageable. Please bear in mind I don't have the game yet. Getting it today :D |

Friday, July 03, 2009 @ 06:04:45 AM @#17 - Ha ha. I think I'm playing the wrong gametype most likely. Wild West Legends is fun as hell though ... but isn't that rewarding for gold. |

Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 11:32:47 AM @11 I haven't played it, but I'm sure with copies, from what I've seen, the million could be done in a couple of days. Also from how the achievement reads the million can be done in single player counts (since it says Ranked play counts). 2 weeks would be fair but 4 weeks just seems too much, may get it and knock it out if I get the cash tho ;) |

 | Comment #25 by A 0 E monkey
Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 01:00:04 PM Edit: with 6 copies cus that's what you need to boost right? |
|
 | Comment #26 by BemusedBox
Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 01:19:47 PM you can boost the online with 6 people in about 6-8 hours 4 weeks is too long. |

Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 01:55:02 PM ye bemused box some people actually find games fun and are good at them so x360a thought about giving the people who dont boost a chance and btw i dont have the game... ...is it like red dead revolver soon to be red dead redempton? |
|
 | Comment #28 by BemusedBox
Sunday, July 05, 2009 @ 07:05:11 PM is that right because webb didnt say he had done it so if people didnt want to boost they didnt have too have you got insider info. |
|
 | Comment #29 by Webb
Monday, July 06, 2009 @ 09:33:24 AM @Bemused - We wouldn't set up an achievement race that put any emphasis on boosting simply because some people don't boost and that wouldn't be fair to them =) |

Saturday, July 11, 2009 @ 07:32:48 AM alright guys, just checking if my live account has been linked to this profile. if it hasnt, can someone please explain how to. many thanks |

 | Comment #31 by SizzlingChaz
Saturday, July 11, 2009 @ 07:35:54 PM I dont know if there is anyway of telling if people have boosted the 1 millie, but I think that individuals that have boosted should be exempt from the competition. How is promoting boosting on a game a good thing? Surely you want to reward players who enjoy the game, and who are willing to put in the many hours to actually achieve the achievement, rather than essentially resorting to a sort of cheat. Its kind of like sayin to the game designers.."yeah we played your multiplayer but we thought it sucked, so we boosted". Im going for this millie the good old fashioned way, as I actually enjoy the multiplayer. no respect or reward should come to those who boost. |
