Arma 2 achievements

Recommended Posts

As we all know, the Arma series lacks the oh so popular achievement features that many games use these days. Some of the guys in our clan find this to be a weak point, so they sat down and hammered out a list of possible achievements and their corresponding requirements.

Disclaimer:

Don't get me wrong. This list is made out of love. We've been playing the series for 10 years running, and though it has its quirks, we still enjoy playing. Also, some of the achievements listed, relate to specific people or events in our clan. If you can't understand/relate to some of the entries, don't fret too much :)

Regards,

the NoPryl of Norway clan

Kill that shit with fire, except for maybe Steam versions (which I don't buy).

I hate achievements. Why the hell would anyone want to force themselves to play unnaturally just to get those godforsaken things?

I'll play the game however I damn well want, and get gratification however I damn well want, rather than feeling that subtle judgement when I don't cause a tank to explode from crashing a helo into it.

...I will admit there are some rather humorous scenarios listed above, though! :D

Why was it moved to suggestions? Someone took the joke seriously?

Either that, or one of the moderators has just made a meta-joke :)

I'm all for it (for Arma 3!) Why not?

If you don't want them, just don't try to achieve them. A little pop-up message doesnt hurt anyone ^^ Arma has never been a serious game and I'm always in for a good laugh! :)

What about they add points to your armory score?

huh?

No thanks. Joke is a joke but a game is always better without achievements which have nothing to do with achieving something and make me want to uninstall the game right away

Arma is full of eastereggs :D

what exactly would be your problem with those "achievements"?

Looking at the message and saying "hmm well... yeah, I don't care." or would they ruin the immersion?

So because you don't like achievements that have absolutely 0 effect on the gameplay you want to uninstall any game that has them? How is not having them making the game better? Like I said, it has absolutely 0 effect on gameplay, so how does having them make it any worse?

Ahahaha, good idea(s). :D But make it just for laughs - don't associate achievements with benefits. Make it multiplayer exclusive though.

And don't forget to put in the "Disable achievements" option for people who can't loosen up.

End Of The Line For You - Engage enemy armor beyond 1500 m with metis (or other wire guided missile).

Königin Aller Waffen - Play mostly infantry (ex.: 90 % of time after 30 h of play time).

Battleship Expert - In CTI: Kill the same player twice in a row with artillery (exploiting automated messages: "town under attack"...), while he is trying to capture your town. Reference to the board game "Battleship".

Clever Choice - Use mostly smart weapons (as infantry).

Budget Friendly Warrior - Use mostly dumb weapons.

Underdogs' Top Cat - End game mostly on the losing team and do really well (high score).

I'm a Farmer - End game mostly on the winning team and do really well.

OK, some people are taking the whole OP too seriously :) re-read the list ;)

But...

would it really be so bad? Is it any different to training missions? You can either do them, or not. Up to you :) Plus, maybe a few more players would have a little more basic gameplay knowledge.

And they are funny because they are subtle and don't feel stupid

what exactly would be your problem with those "achievements"?

"I tried so hard to get "Seargeant" slot achievement in an MP game, wasted so many nerves, people were crying at me in horror and rage as I was taking the slot instead of a guy who can actually command, many a server has kicked and banned me but finally... finally on one remote server, hidden in the mist someone pressed the launch button and I achieved what I was struggling so hard to achieve - taking a slot!"

The joke in the first post is of course a good joke, but it shouldn't be taken as a serious possibility. Achievement whoring is a terrible thing in MP.
