Even though I'm not a fan of the whole achievement thing. I feel OddCaf said it right but since HTC probably has already invested this much time and energy into this new aspect of the game I'm gonna throw my 2 pfennigs into the bowl and present an idea for the system.
One thing I really like about AH is the squad aspect. Yep, I'm one of those folks who like to go in with an organized squad and take bases. Why not have squad/mission achievements. It seems like the current achievements are all based upon individual successes which takes away from the multi-player style.
Here are some basic ideas:
Achievement for joining 25 missions
Achievement for surviving 15 missions
Achievement for capturing maproom with mission
Escort award (not sure how to implement but hey I'm not a programmer
)
Multi-hangar drop award - for killing more than one hangar in a mission
These are all based upon missions. I haven't thought of any that would pertain to squads yet but I'm sure folks could come up with some.
Any other ideas folks might have for this are welcome.
