Goekhan · July 2010

Can't decide? As a skulk, kill a marine that is busy with the armory
Peekaboo! As a skulk, bite X humans / times from the walls or ceiling while standing still (if you're moving, that's not a Peekaboo in my opinion :P )
Catch! / Insect problem As a skulk, leap-bite a marine that is flying with a jetpack (dunno why, but just remembered my old dog. he was leap-biting any flies that were fool enough to get spotted by him ^_^ )

I like it mashed Deliver a killing blow to a Khaara egg with a melee weapon (axe)
Get down! Kill X lerks or skulks while they're not on the floor (not jumping, flying, wall-walking, hanging on the ceiling...)

My babies... As a gorge, speed up the maturity process of X Khaara "structures"
Stay away! As a gorge, "plant" multiple Hydras near a hive / resource node / in close proximity (anywhere?)
Master / Long spitter As a gorge, get a killing blow via one of your hydras that is "planted" on a wall or ceiling (I don't know if gorges spit them, or s*it them, but well. it's coming from somewhere of gorge :P)
Belly surf As a gorge, belly slide for at least 5 seconds in one try

Spore addicts... Make at least X marines cough (get damage) at the same time with just one spore "pocket"
Snipah! While hanging down from a ceiling, pierce a marine's skull (I can't remember the ability name / or if it's still in the game) as a lerk

Calm down! Stomp / stun X marines with a single action as an Onos
I haz armorz / I haz hornz Absorb X damage / Ram X welded doors

Well, I'm really against things like kill X with this, while doing that etc... A reduced / really small amount is OK but, if the number is really big, as some people has obsession over these (including me, not entirely but still, sometimes I just can't do/use anything else till I achieve something), it'll negatively affect the gameplay. People shouldn't get obsessed to these, achievements should surprise you and make you giggle a little bit when you see what you've done :P

And, in my opinion, there should be a server-side option to disable the achievements, so that if someone really wants to earn an achievement while not really caring about the game, they can go to those servers, whereas achievement-disabled servers will house the "not-caring" players.

Grab your Shirtgun and Jetpants: Dress up in style before heading out to battle.

norealskill · July 2010

I didn't read the other suggestions, so I apologize for any repeats, but I'm just going to let my brain pour out whatever I thought would be fun in the game. I love throwbacks to the original game.

Lork on the Clorf -> Kill a marine while perched and stationary with a lerk.
Commander, we need shirtgons -> Research shotguns as commander.
BACON! -> Use the emergency beacon to recall all marines to base.
Ohnos!! -> Evolve into an Onos.
Fatty // Get the fatty! -> Evolve into a Gorge // Kill the Gorge.
"Now we dance." -> Place the third hive.

Not as much throwbacks as just less clever ideas.

Manifest Destiny -> Win a game as marines.
Darwinism -> Win a game as aliens.

Also I'm not entirely sure what aspects of NS1 are preserved for NS2 so maybe some wouldn't work. If I had to pick my favorites from the above list, it'd be Lork on the Clorf, Commander, we need shirtgons, and "Now we dance." :D

Wheeee · July 2010

Hovars without flapping As a lerk, glide in the air for 20 seconds without touching the ground.

Shirtgun commando Kill a lerk with a shotgun [optional- while lerk is sitting on higher ground]

Rogue nation Complete a round without following any commander's orders (waypoints, build orders, etc), and without receiving any equipment or buffs from the comm.

GET TO CARGO BAY NOW be the first player to reach the cargo bay area in at least 5 rounds.

Itsy-bitsy spider Kill at least 10 marines while wallclimbing on the ceiling (can drop from ceiling as long as they don't touch the ground first).

What noise? Be the first marine killed in a round.

By the skin of your teeth Survive with 1 hp for at least 2 minutes

Price · July 2010

I AM superman: kill a enemy while you falling. [a gorge with a S Cape]

Kwil · July 2010

Here's some for the marine side of things. Hopefully promoting teamply type things.

Good Soldier: Was the first person to the waypoints given to their squad (3 person minimum) by the commander 6 times in a row.
Runner up: Arrived as the 2nd member of their squad(3 person minimum) to the commander given waypoint 20 times.
One for all: Donated x amount of resources to the team in a single game.
All for one: Was part of a squad(3 person minimum) where all members had less than 20% health, but none died.
Where needed: Was not the last member of a squad (3 person minimum) to arrive at a commander given waypoint for 3 games in a row.
All Together Now: Was part of a squad (3 person minimum) to reduce an alien res-node from 100% health to 0% in x seconds. (Time limit should be short enough that it's impossible to do without squad co-ordination)
Clothes Call: Blocked a bilebomb from hitting a MASC which later destroyed a hive. (picture: Gorge face vomiting on a marine's helmet)
Got Your Back: Killed 25 aliens that were approaching a squadmate in the lockdown mode of the exo-skeleton from outside its firing arc, before they left lockdown mode.

Oh, and of course my old favorite -- not teamplay based, but I just likeit.

Stonehearted: Kill a cowering gorge.

I am new here, but I really wanted to make my own achievement:

Here goes....

"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!"

Kill 3 Onos's with the knife! (The killing blow obviously)

The picture would be a Onos lying down with the guts spilling out. (With a clean cut on the belly)
Or
The same picture as said above, but a marine lying underneath all that spilled guts!

Nice, eh?

And I made the font bigger because I wanted it to stand out...

Papayas · July 2010

A few suggestions:

Chris0132 · July 2010

No loitering: Kill a skulk who has been stationary for > 10 seconds recently. Icon: Box has a light-dark gradient, gun fires from light into dark where a pair of glowing eyes is visible.

Stationary can be 'has not moved more than 10 feet' or something, basically if it's been waiting in ambush and you kill it, you get the achievment.

Can also replace a with a number if you like. Basically teaches people to watch for ambushes.

Tquila · July 2010

FASTER, FASTER! - Kill an alien at whilst on or below 10hp, right after you've reloaded in the heat of battle. Icon: Magazine Icon thingy, possibly with some knifty lines to make it look like it's moving fast :) 

Unkown World - Set your foot into the world of NS2 for the first time. (how can you not have thought of this yet?!) Icon: Unknown Worlds obviously!

Edit: Added icon ideas.

1mannARMEE · July 2010

Okay it's been said before and in all the other threads but just making sure: Please make only achievements that fit into the normal game play !

Additionally if you have achievements like: "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay - Kill X Aliens with the Switchaxe..." make the following addition "...your weapons had less than 10% ammo in them"

What's also possible, as mentioned above, make achievements that are nearly impossible:

"Kill Flayra (or any other dev) in game" ... you know it's impossible, because the devs rock :)

What I would like to see instead of achievements or additionally:

At the end of each round you give positive and negative awards to players according to certain behaviours (they also need to promote the normal playing style) so something in the ways Worms did it (okay maybe they were just for fun ... :P ) okay maybe also some funny stuff:

- Suicidal, Bellyslider, Most Damage, Most Heal, Most Ressources spend, ....

So just some big statistical breakdown and those neat awards paralell to the achievements, I know you won't have time for these but ... nvm :P

=> you could also do some negative awards that indicate if a player sucks on purpose (like teamkills a lot in one game), these "awards" need to vanish after some time or better play though.

Crispy · July 2010

General format for achievements imo should be split up between some achievements that people get when they do simple, but benefitial actions, some that have comedic value, some that are skill-based achievements and some that reward longevity. This will help people understand what's important in the game, have a laugh while they play, help their team, strive to become better at the game and play for longer.

Positive Team Actions/Tutorial Achievements (30%)
E.g.
- Welded a teammate from 0 to 100% armour
- Completed a Commander order
- Built a Resource Tower (was helping build it when it got built)
- Parasited an enemy
- Chomped an RT down
- Picked up a weapon that was dropped
- Place 1 of every chamber type as a Gorge
- Wield every weapon type as a Marine
- Research every technology in a single round

Skill-based actions (20%)
E.g.
- Killed a Skulk mid-leap
- Killed a Lerk in mid-air using a Grenade Launcher
- Gassed 5 Marines in a single Spore Cloud
- Reached maximum velocity as a vanilla Marine
- Reached maximum velocity as a Skulk
- (Any kind of achievement that utilises a unique element of a map for a fun challenge)

Comedy Achievements (10%)
E.g.
- Land the last blow on an enemy before they fall to their death
- Kill an Alien with a Welder
- Axe a Fade
- Kill a Heavy as a Gorge
- Jump on a Mine to use it as a ladder
- Die to Spore Cloud of the Lerk you just killed

'OMG' Achievements (10%)
E.g.
- Killed a Skulk with the last bullet of your LMG clip
- Helped kill all Marines within x radius of the Hive when it is at 1% HP
- Axe a Lerk to death while in mid-air
- Kill an Onos with a Mine

Advanced achievements (10%)
E.g.
- Weld 1000 armour points in a single round
- Complete 5 Commander orders in a round
- Kill a skulk who has just bitten a teammate
- (Do a combination of positive team actions in a single round)
- Parasited 30 different Marines in a round
- Command a team to victory

L33t Achievements (10%)
E.g.
- Complete a match in 'tournament mode'
- Kill 3 skulks in 3 seconds
- Solo a Fade
- As a Fade on 10% health kill a Marine and escape
- Go 5 minutes without any Weapon or Armour upgrades and go on to win the round
- As Commander, jump out of the CC and kill 2 Aliens who have recently dealt damage to a nearby structure

Longevity Achievements (10%)
E.g.
- Played 100 hours of NS2
- Played and won 3 matches, each starting with a different first chamber
- Flamed through 1000m of DI

It kinda goes without saying that every achievement name should pay homage to Alien/Aliens/Starcraft/NS memes, etc.. Don't have boring achievement names.

1mannARMEE · July 2010

Hey, I just realised it has not been done yet <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/ns2/comments/cqnia/achievement_thread/" target="_blank">reddit</a> here you go !
Please try to only post single or similiar achievements so the sorting would work ...

@Crispy: You just gave me an idea, maybe to prevent certain behaviour and still have the funny achievements in the game make a limit to "funny" achievements you can get during one round ... okay the downside of this might be that every player does the same stupid stuff every game until he got his achievement, this can be prevented by making them non-counting.

Another thing I'm not sure of, you could make lot's of hidden achievements (that you can't see at all) so people aren't going to look for them and play to get them on purpose.

for the memes:Don't forget Starship Troopers and also add in anything you devs personally like ... even if it's like "The Beauty and the Beast - Killed X Lifeforms as female marine" :P

Faskalia · July 2010

Meatshield
Take 5000 damage during a single life without dying.
An actual shield made of bacon would be a nice image.

Steinhauer · July 2010

Ain't got time to bleed- Kill X# enemies with the HMG (unless you guys decide to put in a minigun :D) without dying while taking at least Y# damage.

Y>Max life, the point is to force the player to receive medical attention of some sort while keeping alive and taking out Kharaa. (This will also encourage teamwork because medpacks would make this achievement easier to get than armory healing, if the system is similar enough to NS1.) Obviously, to make the reference to Predator more fun, the icon would have to be a cropped portion of something like this: <a href="http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/braheyes/JesseVentura.png" target="_blank">http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/brahe...esseVentura.png</a>

Nothing is ever over!- Kill X# enemies with the starting rifle (I forgot the name!) without dying while taking at least Y# damage.

Same achievement, different weapon & movie reference. May want to change X and/or Y values from that of the previous achievement for balance purposes. Icon should be a cropped portion of something like this: <a href="http://www.cinemaretro.com/uploads/rambo.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.cinemaretro.com/uploads/rambo.jpg</a>

De Oppresso Liber- Save a teammate from the belly of an Onos by carving is to pieces. (Kill it with a knife)

For those who don't know "De Oppresso Liber" is the US Army Special Forces motto with a meaning to the effect of "to free from oppression" or "to liberate the oppressed". You can see how it fits. Icon might resemble the Special Forces insignia: <a href="http://www.norsepixiebobs.com/images/de_oppresso_liber_copy.png" target="_blank">http://www.norsepixiebobs.com/images/de_op..._liber_copy.png</a>
Or it could also be maybe a saluting Marine with a green beret instead of a helmet (good idea for an unlockable special player uniform!)
