Achievement ideas

This achievement is impossible as it is ongoing.

Leg Braces: Lose 90 hit points or more from a single fall without dying.
Military Intelligence: Kill 10 soldiers with trip mines.
Bubble and Squeak: Kill an Icthyosaurus with snarks.
Beret Cap: Kill 50 grunts with head shots.

Mr.Free-fall : fall 90 feet without dieing
wormfood : die 200 times on the level “We Got Hostels”
military man : steal 100 machine guns
tour guide freeman :escort five [5] people at once for 15minuets
Wake Up Mr.Freeman : Ride the Tram
butterfingers : slip off the ladder in “Office complex”
hot potato : return a grenade to the thrower
tank buster : kill 30 tanks total

Some of those aren’t even possible due to quantities of NPC’s / Tanks etc.

‘total’ as in all time. as in during more than one play through.

Edited to narrow the list down, but I do like those quite a bit. There are others, but It’s late and I’m tired.

So, here’s a few of my own:

The only way to be certain - Gib 100 fallen zombies.
Better than being alone - Have five guards follow you at the same time in Office Complex.
(I think that’s the most I could ever get)
Education really pays for itself - Die from five different environmental hazards
(count 'em!)
It’s got electrolytes! - Heal 100 HP using soda machines.
(cumulative, not contiguous)
Military Intelligence - Get three military grunts killed by air-strikes at the opening of Surface Tension
It’s never the fall that kills you - Cause five creatures to fall to their death
Headhumper tartare - Trick a headcrab into getting caught by a barnacle
Jarhead of pickles - Trick a military grunt into getting caught by a barnacle
Haute dog - Trick a houndeye into getting caught by a barnacle
Calamari drumstick - Trick a bullsquid into getting caught by a barnacle
Want some ramen with that? - Trick an alien grunt into getting caught by a barnacle
Generous health benefits - Completely drain 50 medical wall-units
Warranty just expired - Completely drain 50 HEV wall-units
Here, grab my crowbar! - Watch the scientist fall just outside the doorway to Anomalous Materials
Optometrist - Get a scientist to follow you and open a door using a retinal scanner
Ophthalmologist - Destroy the flashing laptop at the beginning of Office Complex
Pediatrician - Get a scientist to heal you when your HP is below 25.
Ichthyologist - Complete Apprehension without killing an ichthyosaur
Archaeologist - Find the large weapons cache in Surface Tension
Psychiatrist - Hear 20 expressions from guards and scientists not following you
Psychologist - Hear 50 expressions from guards and scientists not following you
Psychoanalyst - Hear 100 expressions from guards and scientists not following you

Some that have been suggested already, but not with these titles:

How do you stop this crazy thing? - Complete On A Rail without stopping the train.
(train may stop, but only on its own, and yes, it’s possible… just need patience)
I’m sure he won’t remember [COLOR=‘Cyan’]or…
Unforgivable consequences - Ruin Magnusson’s microwave casserole
It’s not rocket science - Launch the Lambda rocket
What is it exactly that you have crated? - Destroy all wooden crates that you find in Black Mesa.
(would be awarded just before Interloper)
Hazard Course tourguide [COLOR=‘Cyan’]or…
Hogan’s Alley - Get guards following you to kill 15 creatures without using any weapon yourself.
Headhumperhunter - Kill fifty headcrabs with the crowbar
Noise dampening - Kill five houndeyes using just the crowbar
Shock absorption - Kill five vortigaunt slaves using just the crowbar
Hermetically sealed - Kill five bullsquids using just the crowbar
Entymologist - Kill five alien grunts using just the crowbar
Opposing force - Kill five military grunts using just the crowbar
Counter-strike - Kill five black-ops using just the crowbar
F.L.I.R. - Kill five female assassins using just the crowbar
Agent provocateur - Squash 100 cockroaches
Highly trained assassin - Squash 500 cockroaches
Messianic reputation - Squash 1000 cockroaches
(these three would all be cumulative over a number of games, of course)

Well, that’s all I got for now. Maybe more after I get some sleep.

OK here is some =D

“Unstopable sience” - Wallgauss 20 enemies !

“Tunnel snake” - Finish “On a Rail” on foot !

“Nijnja reflex” - Jump off uncontrollalbe train, before it falls down to floaded pitt !

“Gordon Rambo” - Shoot down Helicopter on Dam without explosives (it was possible at hl1 with mp5)

Huston we have a problem : get killed by the rocket before the tentacles die
subject terminated : jump into the laser
Swiss cheese freeman : get killed by a turret
what sample? : wait 20 minuets without putting the sample in the machine.
green beret freeman : kill all scientists and guards you find except the ones you need

Computer says nooooo: Get hit by a falling computer.

Skeet Shooter - Kill x amount of headcrabs with any firearm in mid-leap.

Batter Up! - Kill x amount of headcrabs in mid-leap with the crowbar.

The Only Way to Be Sure
- Kill the Garg with the mortar in Surface Tension.

No Time to Bleed
- Survive for x minutes with your health below 25.

Going to Need a Bigger Boa
t - Kill the first Icthyosaur

Fly Me To the Moon
- Launch off the On A Rail rocket.

Caffeine High - Take Barney’s coffee mug to Xen.

(This is based on the concept that:

  • The guard on the front desk at the start of the mod has a coffee mug you can pick up.
  • It is possible to carry a physics prop that far through the mod without loosing it by way of a trigger or weapon_strip.)

Aprehension would ruin that one.
Maybe find a hidden gnome in the weapons area before xen and carry it through? Assuming in teleport you don’t lose physics props.

For that, we must share the joy:

Not as good as the classic Little Britain IMO.

Okay, being someone who’s experienced both PC and Xbox versions of ‘achievements’, I have to say that using “easy” to get more achievements is something like cheating.

So… “easy” gets its own achievement. Just one.

Here ya go - Start a game on “easy” (all other achievements are disabled at this level of difficulty)

I’m not trying to destroy any sense of “sandboxing” or anything, but I’m tired of “farmers” who play on lower difficulty just to get a few more blessed badges. This makes loads more sense on XboxLive than on Steam, but I think there’s a principle to it as well.

Well, all the post in this thread is mean to be fun.

You lucky bastard.

Well don’t just sit there complaining!

Search. Find. Share. Enjoy. It’s da Internets, d00d!

weee fall off xen
unforeseen bullets shoot g-man

[COLOR=‘PaleTurquoise’]RE: the former
Nice GLaDOS reference, but there’s gotta be more "e"s (and an “h”)

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee… - Fall from a Xen island into oblivion

[COLOR=‘PaleTurquoise’]RE: the latter
Um, you might as well call it “pwhiff” coz’ da G-Man is stronga dan da bullitz. Remember that scene from Superman Returns? It would be like that… and yes, even on G-Man’s eyeball. (ooooooh… there’s a gMod machinma challenge if I ever heard one!)

Pew-pwhiff… pew-thwizz… pew-tinkowooouuu…
