    •  and it forces (none / 0)

      people to use each weapon simultaneously if they want the achievements.. (ie - nades 1 round, boomshot the next, then the snipe..). I think its a damn good idea.

      •  I think this is how it works: (none / 0)

        Within a single round (e.g., 9 of which a match is made up of for a best of 5), you can get say 5 different points towards 5 different achievements (e.g. if you manage to kill all 5 enemies by yourself, using 5 different methods:  Longshot headshot, grenade tag, saw, arrow stick, and boomshot).

        Those who want to go all RPG (CoD4 Golden gun type thing) can get points towards 5 different achievements in a single round.  

        I think it is a brilliant solution and it will absolutely stop any kind of weapon whoring, at least that which is motivated by stats and achievements.  Instead of having teammates killing people over the Longshot, for example. Teammates will be SWAPPING weapons so they can both get points for each weapon....in theory.

        •  True (none / 0)

          but in ranked, you can't kill your teammate any way, but I do see what you're saying.

          I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.

          •  Ha ha ha Shows how much I have (none / 0)

            played ranked!  I cannot imagine playing this game without FF on.  It is funny, because in Halo, there aren't even achievements for it, and people get killed quite often for power weapons.  Oh the wilderness that is XBL and the random gamer!

            If friendly fire is off for matchmaking, it will only be because all my friends are draggin' me along, that I play in that realm.
