Re: Boo

In Response To: Re: Boo (yakaman)

: So, with a million SP achievements, can't we just ignore the MP ones? Or,
: does the fact they exist mean we have to get them, as miserable as it
: makes us?

: If so, why is that? Why does the addition of achievements for one sector (MP)
: drive people crazy? I'm including myself in "people".

While these particular MP achievements aren't terrible, I dislike the idea of them for a few reasons:

1.) As FyreWulff said, it affects the way some people play MP and that can sometimes have a negative impact on the gameplay
2.) Achievements are meant to show to your friends what you've accomplished by playing the game; often times multiplayer already has a ranking system to show your skills
3.) Because you are being matched with random people with varying skills, the difficulty of getting the achievements is hard to measure
4.) Often times, people will get together and form achievement lobbies- defeating the purpose of the achievement
5.) Sometimes, the developer decides to remove the game type or playlist in which you can obtain the achievement- making it either very difficult or impossible to get
