Achievement Pack 2

[MattBoone]

Hypothetically, if there were to be a second achievement pack for DoD:Source, what achievements should be in it?

Hi Matt, nice to see you back

I've been thinking. Make all achievements reset everytime you complete them but you receive a rank displayed on steam communities. Better yet, if that rank can be mirrored on the uniform with a shoulder insignia.

On edit: If its too hard to make a shoulder patch texture, a rank insignia displayed next to names.

well I'll get into specifics later, but a larger focus on helping the team would be excellent, and no more of the "individual" acievements. Many, many (too many) of the current achievement involve the words "... kill an enemy..." or "kill # enemies in a row.....". If I was looking at the correct achievement list I counted 60 for DOD:S and 48 of them were "congratulations - you killed something". So please, no more of those.

I want something that actually PROMOTES teamplay. Some ideas

• award for giving ammo to a Rocket or MG 50 times
• award for partaking in all flag (your team obviously) captures during a round
• awards for taking out critical non-capture objectives (like explosive walls)

and I'll even make one exception with "kill" in it here...... how about a "savior" achievement for killing an enemy who has killed 10 or more of your team in a row. (because in this scenario you are actually helping the team LOL)

hell it wouldn't make me cry a bit if you were to somehow "lose" about %50 of those current achievements. Or at least make them real achievements. 8 machinegun kills in one deployment???? O c'mon.....

Well, if nothing else it might be interesting to look through the TF2 achievement lists (or any other game for that matter) and figure out what achievements can be carried over/modified/renamed for DoD:S.

Also, might it be possible to remove those darn weapon achievement icons that display over other player's heads? The novelty seems to have worn off on that.

hmm... I made a list awhile back. I'll try to dig them up and show tomorrow.

Perhaps some TF2 style achievements that challenge you to do something in a single life would work here. Most of the current achievements deal with cumulative accomplishments (i.e. get 5000 kills as an ally, punch 150 enemies), but it might be interesting to have something similar done in a single life, like "Punch 3 enemies in a single life" or "cap 5 flags in 5 minutes", or "Get 12 kills in a single life".

Porting the World Traveller achievement from TF2 would also be interesting (Play 1 round on every official map), and a more forgiving version of "With Friends Like These", which would require you to play in a game 5 people from your friends list.

Furthermore, an achievement that encourages people to play on custom maps couldn't hurt; something similar to (or an expansion of) AWOL.

A rank insignia that does nothing will add replay value to the game

It can be binded to achievements or just kills and captures

[Prof_Orribilus]

I think can be lol a sort of achievements' rewards like cosmetic equipments or sound emote (obviously disabled in tournament mode).

Does that mean DoD S would be ported to L4D engine?

Here are few ideas for some used TF2 as a guide.

• Band Of Brothers = play with 6 or more players from your steam friends list
• S&M = Dominate 4 or more players at the sametime
• Sweet Revenge = Get 5 Revenge Kills in a Round
• The Wall = 100 Capture blocks
• Watch Your Back = 50 Kills from behind with a Punch, Knife or Shovel
• Kamper = 50 kills whilst capturing flags
• Pacifist = Get the most flag captures on your team and not kill an enemy player
• Ammodump = Give 100 rounds of ammo
• Lighting Strike = win a round in under 45 Seconds
• Custom Mapper = Play 100 none official maps
• With friends like these = join 2 steam friends in game and punch, knife or shovel them both
• Noob = Get 50 Team Kills
• Grave Digger = Get 5 kills with a shovel in a round
• Team Player = Capture all flags and win the round
• Frogman = kill 10 players whilst you are both underwater
• Hot Potato = 25 kills from throwing back enemy nades
• Dead Heat = kill a player in the same second as they killed you

I know the teamkill one is wrong but we are all guilty of it sometimes these are just ideas afterall.

I would love to see an achievement like this:

• No need to Scope: Kill 2-3 people without scoping in a raw with a sniper.

I've managed to do this with 4 people in a raw and I was disappointed to not be rewarded

[Suomis]

Friends vs everyone: Play with 7 or more steamfriends in a single team.

Avalanche pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_avalanche

Donner pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_donner

Anzio pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_anzio

Colmar pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_colmar

Kalt pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_kalt

Flash pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_flash

Argentan pro:Win 20 rounds in dod_argentan

Palermo pro:Win 20 rounds in dod_palermo

Jagd pro: Win 20 rounds in dod_jagd

300%: Get a triple headshot with a single sniper bullet

I dont need this, you take it: Give ammo to a teammate 50 times

Hey team where were you: Participate in all flagcaptures in a single round

Hey, who was the better one again: Dominate a steamfriend of yours 10 times

Watch your back next time!: Knife your steamfriend

Evil heritige: Kill a player after you have been killed

Blitzkrieg: Win a game in a minuite

Balanced player: Play 20 minuites in a single server in a single round
without being dominated

What do you need frags for?: Be the first on your team and still have the least kills

[coqRapide]

There needs to be an acheivement for not running default rates.

A few ideas, maybe with repeat clauses added:

• be at the top of the scoreboard at the end of a map
• get 20 kills in a row without a single teamkill
• switch to even the teams when one team is down by 3 players or more
• get into a multi-man cap area less than 2 seconds after the 1st teammate entered it
• play 3 custom maps in a row
• be on a team that wins a round after losing 3 or more in a row
• score the first kill in a round

similar to what someone just suggested:

"twofer = gets 2 kills with one rifle shot"
