Sorry about the double post, but yeah gamertags similar to the one above me are most likely windows vista players and they for some reason always have silver membership.

That's because Games for Windows is free to play those games online now so they don't need gold memberships... or at least, it was, not sure if it still is because I'm not dumb enough to put Vista on my computer Stick out tongue [:P]  Windows 7 for the win...

Lol Kam-Sai,
That is why I dual boot, XP Pro & Vista Ultimate.  And yes, if W7 is all it's cracked up to be, it will be a great O/S, especially for those who game, they will notice the boost in performance the most.  But I have to say, ironically, Vista has been more stable for me than XP, which was completely unexpected, although I have a great rig running it and I run a "tweaked" version of it (many files and system files have been adjusted, replaced or tweaked to enhance performance without loss of the GUI or function).  If you are interested in checking it out, let me know (PM), it is completely legal,  you still require a legitamate key to run.
But still, I can't wait till the release of W7, I just hope it supports backwards compatibility, I would love to go to one O/S.

And BTW, yes GfWL is free still.

If they release Gears 2 on Games for Windows I might upgrade to Vista simply because I don't have a way to play Xbox regularly online, but I should be able to play on my computer regularly... and you know I'd be getting Shadowrun then...

 

I just got a Shadowrun achievement last night!  How fun is that?  Mine is the Superior Platform, dated more a YEAR after the last achievement I got, lol!

Good question. I don't know really. It doesn't count as an actually kill on the scoreboard (brought up by holding down on the 'back' button) even though it says "Vinchucca killed a minion". So I assume it doesn't count towards any achievement either (weapons or otherwise). But again, I don't know. Maybe the threadstarter can shed some light on this.

I would tend to go with Vinchucca's reasoning on this one. Since it doesn't count as a kill on the scoreboard, it's likely not counting towards achievment progress either.

Well, I'm not sure if you guys understood my question cause you really didn't address it, so I'll try this again.  What I'm talking about is the Summoner achievement.  This is the achievement where you get 100 kills with your minion.  You know when you've gotten a kill with your minion because it says "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno for Kamikaze" on the game screen.  This act NEVER counts as a kill for you on the scoreboard, despite the fact that you still get points for the kill as well as a tally towards the Summoner achievement.

My question concerns whether or not it counts as a tally if your minion kills someone elses minion.  I've noticed the report doesn't change.  Even if my minion and Xeno's minion are fighting, if my minion wins the report still says "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno for KamikazeSailor"  NOT "Kamikaze's Minion killed Xeno's Minion."  So my initial impression would be that it does count towards the achievement, but just wondering if there is anyone who can attest  to that.










yes it does i got mine without kills by lettin my minion protect me from some one elses.....cause  watch ed the m fight and then bam achice unloked sorry for bad grammer my hand is broken

That's the weird thing, I never removed you!?!
Maybe something to do with the updates?
IDK, I have not yet removed a single soul from my list, once on, stay on ('less someone cheezes me off too much, lol)
I'm not sure what happened with that, I myself haven't been on a lot lately, have some things to deal with at the moment.  I still get on when I can, unfortunately it's time spent in forums, or answering emails instead of gaming when I do get on.  I saw you sent another f/r, I've accepted it.




New question, do melee attacks count towards specific achievements?  For instance when using a sniper rifle, if you bludgeon some poor smeg to death, does that count as a sniper kill?  Same with the other weapons, if you run out of ammo, and you pistol whip someone, does it go to that weapons achievement?  (sorry if I've already asked this one somewhere, I'm too tired to dig through the forums for some trivia right now, thx)

If your doing 360 vs Windows matches then i might just have to join in. I only need Superior platform and Dwarf player achievements and its reallyhard getting Windows vista kills.
Look at it this way: all the kill count achievements on this game add up to about 1105 kills...i have them all but not even a 1/10 of those kills are Vista player kills. Just shows how little Windows gamers there are.

There's no good way to test for this unless you are willing to start smacking people only with empty weapons never killing them with a bullet with that weapon and letting us know if it works =)

Just found out there are some achievements that don't require 8 unique gamertags in at least a 4v4... like Zombie Scores... got that on a 2v2.

Re: Achievments Fully Explained v4.20 ~ All secrets revealed(spoilers) ~ catch the fever! ~ [ Final version ] ~
Can someone confirm definitions of "round", "game", and "match" as pertains to achievements?  Both the Achievement text and this FAQ seem to use all three, when there's really only two entities being described, so a n00b like me could use some clarification.

"Match" seems fairly obvious, it's the bigger entity that encapsulates the "race-to-6", within which you play several times on the same map as the same race, and when the scoreboard finally says "Lineage wins 6-4", you've just finished a "match", and a new map/game type will load and you can pick a new race for the new "match".  Got it.  Makes sense.

Trouble is, "round" and "game" at times seem interchangeable, like they both refer to the smaller events that make up a whole "match", but at other times one could interpret them as referring to "matches".  For example:
That Was Close: kill the Runner <10m from scoring, and win the "round" - seems obvious that it means the smaller event that happens within a "match"
Winning Streak: win 10 straight "rounds" - so did I & my team just give this to a few folks last night when we went 0-6 twice (sorry guys, I really suck, I know)?  Or does it need to be 10 straight "matches"?

100 wins: Win 100 "games" - is this "matches" or "rounds"?
Human Player: play as a Human for 100 "games" - is this "matches" or "rounds"?  Seems like it means "matches" since you have to stick with your race for the entire "match" after you select it.  If so, holy crap it's going to be a while.

Sorry for being so anal - I just wish they had stuck to two names for the things so there's no confusion.

AGE Rocks!

yes. winning streak is 10 rounds... (not full games)

yes 100 wins is 100 full games , i.e. one entire set of up to 11 rounds on a single map.  (but you don't necessarily have to be there for the whole time)

So maybe instead of needing 4vs4 we need 4 total? I was thinking about this and it didn't make sense to require 8 people. A lot of small maps start as 2v2(isn't that the smallest you can have to make a game?). I'd really like to know the answers to this. When I join a game with under 8 people is it worth it to use something I need an achievement for? I might use it either way but it's nice to know if I'm getting the credit for it.

Let's be honest Xeno, no one would notice the difference Stick out tongue [:P]


Unyo, the problem is the game just doesn't have the customization needed to test some of these achievements. Some can be had with a 2v2, some with a 4v4 and Godlike requires a 6v6.

It's best just to assume you need a 4v4 to make sure you're getting the best bang for your buck while playing for achievements cause it's really hard to know which ones require what

I'd like to be clear about the fact that I'm not playing just for achievements. I will use something like summon so I can work towards the achievement but I won't go out of my way. Other ones like sniper I won't ever get because I hate the sniper in this game.
I was just hoping to clear this up. I know people who leave games with under 8 players because of this info. It'd be nice to know the real numbers.

Thanks for the reply.
