What do you prefer: Online or Single-player achievements?

I'm all for single-player player achievements beacuse, in my opinion, online achievements ruin multi-player with people wanting to boost.

I made this post in light of the new Call of Duty 4 achievements, which you can see here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/achievements.php?gameID=377

if they add online achievements i think they need to be a little more creative with how they do it. they should be alot less time consumming so people can get them out of the way and just play the game.mattisgod01

But then what do you achieve if they're just quick and pointless?

Achievements should be single player online IMO.

In Single-player, it's kind of a closed environment, where you can replay a level over and over again to achieve certain things, etc.

In online multiplayer, because you're playing with other people, it could ruin other people's experience.

For example, like trying to get a certain amount with a certain weapon when everyone on your team is playing to win and you're becoming a burden to your team because you're not carrying out the objective.

And of course, there's the boosting which is horrible.

Quoted for truth. Plus, online achievements aren't fair for people without Xbox Live.

Single player achievements are much more fun because you actually have to earn them. Most people in multi player cheat to get the achievements and besides... for some unknown reason, you can only unlock them in a ranked match...and you'll find the worst players in a ranked match.

i agree with you there but i think most of the achievements should go to single player but have at least around 300-250 multiplayer

P.S. Just finished watching the last episode of 24 of season 1 and it is truly amazing.

i think you mean SOME ppl cheat to get achievements and i don't know about finding the worst players in a ranked match since the best players in the world play ranked matches. don't tell me there could be better players who don't play ranked cuz if you are that good you could win tournaments for money so you would play XBL.

but ppl have found out ways how to cheat to get single player achievements too. they do it the same way as those ppl do the seriously glitch.

i have to vote for XBL achievements because i feel like most the ppl on XBL are harder to defeat than the AI in most games.

it's sad that some ppl cheat just to get achievement points. i don't understand it...i have too much pride and self-constraint to cheat.

I agree with everything you say except, but when people cheat in singleplayer they are ruinig it for themselves and not other players as online would be.

...I've found that most people cheat to get the achievements online, but that's from my experience. And about the ranked games, and finding some of the worst players on live, I wasn't talking about skill. I was talking about attitude... a lot of people on ranked games have this whole... "I'm better than thou thing" who will not hesitate to

A: Throw insults back and forth every time they kill you or are killed themselves... being insulted doesn't really bother me...but for God Sakes, use some style rather than the boring old same old same old insults...

B: Leave you negative feedback and call you "unsporting" for winning, or "quitting early" when your 360 crashes...

C: You go on ranked games, kill the host a few times and BANG... the host just quits on you (and no...his 360 doesn't crash, because he makes a point of saying... "F**k it and F**k you too", forcing you to lose everything you've done... it wouldn't be so bad if it was a Shadowrun kinda deal where it just switches to a new host.

The 360 should have a feature on it, where if a player who hosts ranked games quits a number of times, the system should stop him from hosting. Animal Crossing on the N64, Gamecube...DS could tell if you resetted our system, so why can't the 360?

Single.

When a game makes achievements online only, then the community of players dies out, how are people going to get the achievements? Prey and Quake 4 for example, those have a bunch of online achievements but NO ONE plays them online. Thus making the achievements virtually unatainable.

Excellent point.

I suppose a way to get Prey and Quake 4 players online to help get the achievements is to make a message on the forums and post it on a few.EnigmaticBeauty

But its still on the same principle of boosting. I mean, what are you really achieving?

yeah but when i see ppl boost they go into the middle of the map and then just stand there waiting to get killed by each other. i only know this cuz i joined a match and then once it started they told me it was a boosting match and i was like no so i took the sniper rifle and killed them until they started crying.

I prefer single player achievements because I feel like I actually earned it on my own. Multiplayer achievements don't appeal to me because I hate it when people boost. Don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of boosting, but it becomes really annoying.
