"Recon marine" In a single game, enter all hive rooms without firing a shot or being attacked by an enemy player. (hydra attacks dont count against you.)
<b>Loaded and Locked -</b> As a marine pick up a Shotgun/HMG/Nadelauncher , a welder , a heavy armor/jetpack and get full ammo for all your weapons. <b>No passage -</b> As a gorge build an Hydra which kills a marine within 30 seconds. <b>These boots were made for walking -</b> As a marine with Heavy Armor walk all the way from the Marine base to the main Hive <b>There is no Onos in Teamwork -</b> As a marine kill an Onos with atleast 4 other Marines shooting it. <b>Lerk'd -</b> As a Lerk fly from the main Hive to the Marine Base and destroy a building.
One thing that wasn't very rewarding in NS1 was to build up the things the com drops everywhere : the base at the beginning and then the remote RT's and turrets : you didn't get any point by doing that, you had a good chance to get killed and generaly this teamwork went unnoticed. So, it could be a good idea to create an achievement for a certain build time + times being killed while building.
Moreover it could be a good idea to give levels to some achievements such as in the "bronze/silver/gold" system : it allows occasional player to get some, hardcore gamer to aim for the "ultimate level" of whatever achievement they want and allow you to reuse the code you wrote for getting the achievement.

By reading the other post I noticed that many people proposed achivements that you can complete during a single round. It could be funny that at the end of each round you get a small résumé of the actions that you did plus a Top 3 over the players for certain categories, like they were in some NS1 mods (took the more dmg, walked the longer distance ...) but with the funny actions proposed on this thread.
Icon - Skulk Legs/Feet.
<b>FLAP DEM WINGS</b> - Fly 10 miles as a Lerk.
Icon - Lerk Wings.
May be worth noting that these would not be done in one lifetime, but over the course of your alien playtime.
