last time i checked, that looks similar to a testicle.
EDIT: atleast more like a testicle than a tentacle.
Kevorkian Complex - Euthanize the unconscious security guard after the Resonance Cascade.
Black Mesa Forever: find the sunglasses
WHERE ARE THEY?[/SIZE]
you find them near a Dead Barney who happens to have a flat-top haircut. You find the guard somewhere in one of the levels.
I’d like to see hidden crow bars (maybe even different colors) all around the complex some of them can be hard to get to or need some sort of jumping puzzle type to get to, if you get all the hidden crow bars you get an acheivement. Something fun and different
Peace, Love, and Submachine Guns: Getting the MP5 for the first time (legitly)
Die Hard: Pick up the Glock 17 from the dead security guard.
Karate Kid: Pick up the Crowbar.
OH MY GOODNESS WE’RE GETTING MONKEY FINGERED BY GODZILLA ON A STICK!: See the Tentacle for the first time.
Night of the Living Hams: Encounter a houndeye for the first time.
Cthulu Dog: Find the Bullsquid for the first time.
GO BACK TO YOG-SOGOTH AND THE ELDER GODS!!!: Kill 50 Bullsquids.
FACEHUGGERS!: Go into the room where 12 headcrabs fall out of the ceiling.
You do realize, that 25 achievements have already been implemented into the mod and are not going to be changed and/or amended?
Schroedinger’s cat is alive (for now): find the Schroedinger’s box
[it’s mean to be an easter egg, and a reference to one of the first teleporting tests in Half Life 2, a cat that has met some sort of… ‘problems’ during the test itself. In-game it could be an hidden crate that, once opened, leaves free a cat and maybe a small amount of non-lethal radiations]
Ph. D. in Ballistic: Hit an enemy with a underslung grenade 100 mt. away
[100 meters is an example, and it’s a very long shot. It could be changed with an headshot or other skilled shots, like kill without actually see the enemy]
Small clip, Big deal: Kill 6 enemies with the revolver without reloading.
[Headcrabs shouldn’t count, it would make this achievement harder and fair. Also triggering explosives with the gun should be avoided, the meaning is 1 kill per shot]
Ricochet: Kill an enemy with an arrow that has been deviated from a wall or similar
NOTE: I don’t know how is supposed to word the crossbow, but in HL2 the crossbow shots can bounce from wall IF the incident angle is almost parallel to the surface. In HL 1 they don’t explode if shot while aiming. This achievement was originally thought for the Tau cannon, but the incident angle should be too low to make sense. It could be changed with a Tau cannon achievement if the refraction angle is sufficient high, or simply higher than the crossbow one
A crowbar coming at them down a steel corridor: Kill the very first vortigaunt you meet with the crowbar
[You have to kill the very first one you meet in the game, not A vortigaunt. This si more an idea for the name than a concept for an achievement. Sorry for the inconvenient, if someone have already suggested it]
Applied Mathematics: another easter egg like Schroedinger one. A Klein(er) bottle, full of water and with a sort of cap, hidden somewhere. Find it to get the achievement. Maybe in the initial part of the game, with no enemies around
Overkill: kill an headcrab while it’s in jumping in the air with a RPG
NOTE: the basic concept is a massive response to a limited hazardous enemy. To make it harder and fair, we could put the “no damage to the player” condition. Other possible name is “not sure if n00b or pr0”
School time: Blew up 5 enemies with satchel charges in a single detonation
[The numer of charges that can be utilized could be limitated]
Go to Plan B: Kill an enemy by shooting a trip mine setted by you
[could be obtained by cumulative deaths, x5 maybe. NOTE: another name could be Remote detonation]
BSOD : Destroy “X” turrets in the game
[this is a reference to the Blue Screen Of Death, relative to Windows system crashes. It could be referred as RROD, for the XBOX, but I prefer the first one. NOTE: it could be added the way how the turret has been destroyed]
Guglielmo Tell: Remove the headcrab of X zombies with the crossbow
[set the amount of kills and the class of zombies if it can make this achievement more challenging]
…And if that don’t work, use MORE guns!: Unload three clips of three different weapons on the same enemy
[the percentage of bullet that reach the target must be set, and so must be the number of weapons that have to be unloaded on the enemy. The target could be the Gargantuar, but it must be verified if other enemies can whitstand such a firepower. If yes, the Gargantuar could be excluded to make the achievement harder]
Can I introduce to you my sister Sasha?: Kill X enemies with the Gluon gun without removing the finger from the trigger
[It reminds the TF2 Heavy. He would be proud of you, LOL ]
And yet it moves!: Survive to a fall with 1 hp
NOTE: this is a reference to a sentence attributed to Galileo Galilei
…and then it exploded: Kill an enemy by hitting him with a hand grenade
[NOTE: Does the grenade hit do damage??? Anyway, headcrabs could be excluded, to have a fairly hard achievement. Originally born as an idea related to alien grunt, it reminds the concept of Halo and the minigrunts, when you hit them with a plasma grenade, they’re dead meat. This Half-Life version is more satisfying and more challenging, thought. For the source of this idea, yes… it is the joke about Chuck Norris, LOL]
Lucky shot: Kill an assassin, while she’s fully cloaked, with a single shot
[should be avoided explosives]
Marksman trouble-shooting: Kill a sniper using only the Glock pistol
[I hope the game of words is funny. If not, change it to a better one, maybe reference to get pwned or n00b vs pr0?]
Chain reaction: kill “X” enemies at once using or triggering only environmental or already setted-up explosives
Maybe it’s too late, maybe most of these achievements are already been discussed in a similar or identical form, maybe they just suck, but if they can help…
Anyway, thanks for the mod and for all of your work, I (and my friends) really appreciate your passion
Bye!
And gg to all
It’d be cool if there was an achievement for getting past the mounted-gun-and-tons-of-Vorts battle in Surface Tension with only a crowbar.
am I the only one that finds that mounted gun useless and just uses regular weapons?
Yes. Yes you are.
Nope. Hivehand ftw
Few more brainless achievements:
THIS-IS-SPARTA!: Kill a human enemy that will fall into the void
[could add the weapon for the challenge, the shotgun would be way longer the easiest]
The good, the bad and the ugly: Kill three enemies in three seconds with the revolver
[got to check out the revolver rpm speed, to ensure it is a bit difficult, but not mathematically impossible. The name could be changed to a similar title with a cow-boy or western flavour]
I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse: finish HL: BM
[this is only an option for the name of the final achievement, is a reference to the illusion of choice that the player can make. You can die, or accept the unique offer he gaves you]
Take the elevator: Use a barnacle to bring yourself to a secret area and then kill it
[technique already seen in HL2, anyway the name could change in reference to the fact that you use it and then you kill it, a completely profiteer behavior]
Welcoming committee: Kill X enemies within 1 second they teleported in this dimension
[or it could be modified with ‘within 1 second they enter in your visual field’. The time needed to validate the kill, 1 second, could be omitted in the description. Another title could refer to the reflexes or the survival of the fittest between the two races]
Freeman’s Army - Collect 4 Security Guards
Thank God for that Hazard Suit - Kill 15 enemies on less than 10 HP
Limitless Potential - Finish the entire game in half an hour or less (see here)
Queen Bee - kill an alien grunt with the hivehand
Overpowered? - Get 15 kills without dying in BMDM using the gluon gun
Power Surge - Get a kill while in the air after longjumping in BMDM
If, Then, Else - Smash every computer terminal in the BMRF with the crowbar
Anomalous Ingestibles - Destroy a certain Microwave Casserole
Only 1 Good Map - Spend 2 hours playing Crossfire in 1 sitting
Mag-None - kill 6 enemies with the .357 Magnum without reloading
25 Reasons to Kill - Resist the overwhelming urge to instantly reload the SMG after picking it up.
On a Fail - Kill yourself with the tau overcharge to prevent an enemy grenade from killing you
Huh? - Break the hinge on the fridge in the cafeteria using a crowbar
Just for tracking purposes, I’d like an achievement about if you’ve beaten the game. Idealy for both almost-reaching Xen and accepting/denying the GMan’s offer.
:jizz:
It’d be interesting to have an achievement similar to HL2’s Vorticough, where there’s an easter egg hidden way out of the way, hardly noticable.
The Uncertainty Principle: Nail 5 Assasins to the wall with the crossbow.
A Step and a Prayer: Navagate the minefields without a single detonation.
Vandalism: Destroy every vending machine in the Office Complex.
You and What Army?: Get four security guards to follow you.
On My Feet: Navigate ‘On A Rail’ without using the Tram.
Overkill: Kill an enemy by deploying 15 Snarks at once.
Equilibrium: Kill a soldier firing a grenade launcher with your grenade launcher.
Is it going to have achievements at launch, or will it need to get on steam? I have a feeling this has been answered.
