they have this amazing beta with one of the most intense onlines I've played and they're goin to release the game with no achievements for it. everything is mainly story mode. I just thought It would've been balanced like RSV (elite) where you get them for ranks. let me know what you think about this and If this should be changed or not.

I think its good achievements belong in the SP portion of the game because people always try to boost for online achievements.

P.S. I wouldn't mind if you got achievements for reaching certain ranks online though, but also if you've played the Beta you know that you unlock new equipment when you complete challanges and etc. thats better than achievements in my book.

Exactly..team oriented games are more "team oriented" when people are thinking about the team and the not anachievement.

I think it's better when games don't have online achievments because not everyone has live (myself included because we dont have high speed internet hookup at our house) and when achievements are for online it alienates those who can't get online for whatever reason.

I'm not much into multi-player. People I know who are say on-line achievements destroy teamwork, so it's probably a good idea.

i think it's great. no boosting. less cheating hopefully. and i'd much rather earn unlockable weapons and stuff than get some worthless acheivement points.

i don't think cod4 needs online achievements to keep me playing the multiplayer, i'm still playing the beta, even with the level cap, and it's not getting boring to me.

this kinda sux. No doubt they did it to prevent boosting. But they would have been ok if they would have just kept the acheivments in Ranked matches. If the system were to stay that way, there would be no way at all to boost. but who knows, really...

this is great, now we will not have people solely chasing after achievements and grabbing weapons they really suck with. They should have done this on Gears. I also think it helps get the player more involved with story mode and makes them explore the story and what makes the certain characters and teams special.

This is a trend I hope more developers go for, I love acheivements (although I don't have a huge gamerscore) and want to see more of them given for hard parts in the story.

I LOVE that they have gone this route. I hate online achievements, and regardless with the boot camp and challenge system the reward is worth more than some stupid gamer points. IMHO :)

I really like that all the achievements are single player. Far too many times people will use idiotic tactics that are no benefit at all for the team because they "must" unlock some achievement and as people have mentioned "boosting" which makes the online requirement meaningless.

Besides the rank/level system will keep people occupied when playing online.

I like it better when achievement are left to offline. This leaves people to focus when online to the actual game and winning for the team, not just themselves.

i like it like this too. the challenges still give me the rush of the Achievement Unlocked pop-up, AND i get new ranks/equipment/camo instead of a lame 5 point gamerscore.

I think it will add longevity to the online. I mean you would work so hard to become a powerhouse and still want to come back and pwn noobs. It seems like a good idea. The game has more than enough challenges.

I love it. Almost every achievement I have is for SP/story mode in games. MP for me is a social/team thing, I hope more games go this route.

yeah, achievements on live are stupid. people do this and that, you don't even want to know, just to get the achievement.

anyway, it would be cool if they had no achievements and just a regular ranking system.

Good, neither did cod2 kinda glad it makes the achievements a little less daunting( ex: if they made an achievement like getting to level 50 or something which would take what, 3 months of constant play?) plus singleplayer>>>multiplayer imo.

The only thing i wish they included is co-op still going to get it but it would have been icing on the cake.

I like it, but they couldn't of did better and went the Halo 3 route with some multiplayer achievements that you get through the course of the game.

Lol RSV ranking is the reason why that game is no longer as "hot" as it used to be. Way to many people out there who let the "Elite" rank get to them and keep playing the same damn game mode (attack and deffend) on the same damn map (Calypso Casino). I don't even know why the b!tched and complain about paying for the map packs, but when it's free NO ONE plays the damn things. Ugh just makes me sick..

this is the way its supposed to be, offline achievements help elongate the game itself for those who are unfortunate enough to not have the time nor the ability to get online plus whats the point in trying to get 500 headshots with a pistol when everyone else is trying to get 1000 headshots with the sniper rifle or shotgun =/ online achievements only restricts what the central focus of multiplayer...fun

I think its great because no more boosting so people will now be playing MP purely for the fun of it.
