peteer01 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I actually hit 15th prestige two days ago in COD:BO. Might not sound like a big deal, but I was someone who played more than enough hours in COD4 and World at War, but was always reluctant to start over. I prestiged a handful of times in COD4 and 7 times in World at War, but I wasn't ever expecting to hit 10th in either game. So, while it's not a big deal to anyone else, once I realized that Black Ops was more COD4/WaW than MW2, I decided that this time around, I'd see if I could hit 15th. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteer01 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) It doesn't take as long as you think it does honestly. Still a time sucker, but not a life ender. Well said. Despite the cries (on the callofduty.com boards, no less) that anyone who prestiges faster than 24 hours a prestige is a cheater, even with my merely slightly above average level of play, I could consistently prestige in 18 hours of game time without double XP. Add in a prestige over the double XP weekend, and while it is a lot of COD time, it's not the 16+ days worth some people might imagine. And, while there are other games, 98% of my time online is playing with at least one other friend using Party Chat. It's the social aspect of the game that makes it so enjoyable for me. I have young two children and while I do play almost every day, my gaming, and basically my free time in general, is limited to those few hours after my wife and kids go to sleep. Jumping online with my friends while my family is asleep instead of heading out to meet them and leaving my wife and kids home alone...it just makes more sense for me to socialize with my friends online. It also helps that I can play with my brother who is in the states, and since we're on opposite sides of the earth (Japan), the dozen or so hours I've spent online with him over the last three months are a dozen hours of talking with a family member that I wouldn't otherwise have. So yeah, there are other games, but I'm actually having a lot of fun with the game itself, and at the same time, even if another game might be more fun without the social aspect, once you add the Party Chat with a group of friends in there, it's a pretty compelling proposition.

RadiantViper Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Ohhh, your post reminded me that I hit 10th prestige in World at War. Extra-proud of it since it's so easy to just get it hacked for you. Over 300 hours of playtime ... good thing I really liked the game!

It's not very clear (I think I'll make an FAQ later on) but the Smoovesonian (he donated, got to name it) is our image gallery, for all users to upload images or use Brains Dropbox link (which if you are do a search for Dropbox on the site and there's a thread with referrals, nets you and the refereee some extra space) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I know that this isn't technically about "Achievements", but I am damn proud of this: The 100% score, but even more particularly the Mile High Club achievement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mile High Club was pretty easy on PC (on veteran, just as the rest of CoD4), but I can imagine it to be painful with the slower aiming on consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoStarr Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Mile High Club was pretty easy on PC (on veteran, just as the rest of CoD4), but I can imagine it to be painful with the slower aiming on consoles In single player, console versions auto-target when you aim down sights. Doesn't matter if the target is halfway on the other side of your screen. They made that wicked easy in single player; LT,RT,LT,RT,LT,RT,LT,RT, WIN.

TheMightyEthan Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 To be fair, I didn't know that it locked on to targets when you looked down the sights, so I never used the LT-RT method. I did it the way you're supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadiantViper Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I never used auto-aim and Mile High Club is still way easier then people make it out to be ... took me roughly 10 tries. It's pretty much all about good use of your flashbangs. CoD5 on Veteran is way more difficult then anything in MW1 ... also, I was disappointed in how easy MW2 campaign + Spec Ops were on Vet x.x Haven't tried Black Ops yet, though.

RockyRan Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 My biggest achievement in gaming? Beating all cups on Master Difficulty in F-Zero GX, as well as beating all 9 Story Mode Chapters on Very Hard. I was about to throw a backpack into a crowd with Chapter 7 on Very Hard, but I eventually beat it. The word "Exuberance" was invented for moments like those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person on my friends list who has by far the most trophies (Lvl20, 3,335 trophies) has mentioned to me that it was by far the most time consuming of all the platinums he's earned. Much respect to anyone who walked that road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomTervo Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I don't have many concrete achievements like 100% completion of games, etc. I tend to enjoy games a lot, but by the time I've nearly 100% the ones I really like, I get another game and put the other one down for good. Although once I was in the top 100 for Socom back when the PS2 online service first came out. That was cool, and damn was I good at it. Anyway, I got a great sense of achievement from a game of Uncharted 2 I had, way back just after it came out. Players had just started working out the cheap ways of fighting/winning- notably i) running straight at you in close quarters, with pistols, and shooting you repeatedly then dealing one punch kills (really quickly), ii) hiding just round corners and throwing grenades straight at your feet as you emerged, and iii) leading you to edge-drops, rolling off to hang below you, and pulling you off it for an insta kill, etc. It takes an experienced mind to evade all of these nowadays, but back then they used all the cheap tactics relentlessly and nobody knew quite how to get around them yet. I had this one game where the other team were basically 5 guys pulling this shit constantly. You couldnt walk anywhere without having an un-dodgeable grenade dropped instantly at your feet, or without taking a couple of bullets and being punched in the space of 2 seconds. Our team all had about 1 or 2 kills, most of them had at least 8 or 9, so they were nearly winning, at about 30 points out of 50 for the win. After about 5 minutes of constant cheap play from them, I got so pissed off. So pissed off. We couldnt do anything to fight them, especially with my inexperienced team. I have the game recorded- you can literally see me standing still for a moment whilst I rage. I had 3 kills and was clearly the best player on my team, but these guys were just playing dirty. Constantly. So my temper broke. I took every single dirty tactic and choke-point strategy they had and turned it against them. I went sprinting, got in close and pistol'ed them before a punch, I threw countless grenades straight onto people who were hiding or inside buildings, I even lured a guy to a broken window ledge, and pulled him out. Within a couple of minutes I had about 11 kills, and rising. It was like being in Metal Gear Solid 4 and getting that 'battle-rage' mode or whatever. I just started cracking out crazy moves. At one point I hid behind a low wall, and had two enemies coming at me. I grenaded, blind fired, ran forward, killed one, took cover, shot the other to death- before another two of their buddies spawned and came running- without stopping for breath I took cover, started firing; and within 1 minute of gameplay I killed their entire team, plus a surplus of the first two who had respawned. In the end we won. We had 50 points, and the enemy had about 40. I had 25 kills or so. For most games that might not sound too great, but in Uncharted it's pretty unheard of. That's the whole enemy team 5 times over. I've got the whole thing saved in the UC2 cinema, so I might pull a Smooves and upload a bunch of images from it to the Uncharted 2 thread. I felt like the fucking governator after giving those assholes a taste of their own medicine.
