Well its confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 will not have multiplayer trophies or achievements.. Your thoughts? I think it doesnt bother me, Infinity always does a great job at adding so much in game trophies, badges etc for the multiplayer that it doesnt bother me.

CoD4 and WaW didn't have online achievements. Online achievements are stupid BTW, boosting FTL.

This is great. People can boost each other with online achievements / trophies. That was one of IW's best moves.

I dont really care, I cancelled my CoD4 preorder weeks ago and hope this game bombs... Even though it won't.

Freaking Halo, CoD, Killzone, Uncharted, and other such franchises tarting up a mediocre experience and burying good games under a cavalcade of mediocrity.

Not all acheivements could have been boosted. An acheivement for prestiging would have made sense.

Well online achievements are good only when the players earn them instead of making some lame little packt in the pregame lobby area and lose a game for you because they wanted 25 extra GS (Im looking at you halo 3! :x!!!! )

People would boost experience. That would actually be the worst thing to give achievements for.

Sweet Jesus this gen is coddled...

"I don't want to have to actually put EFFORT into my achievements online where I might be required to try".

Although after Death Streaks what did I expect?

Screw it, I'm too busy playing NOLF2.

Meh, the only multiplayer trophy/achievement I didn't mind too much was BlazBlue's 200 ranked matches + 150 player matches. Doesn't require wins, just doing those matches count, loved it.

I actually like achievements/trophies like this. You feel like you accomplished something special when all you did was play the game. It makes me quite happy.

I think that's a subtle positive. It means people won't ruin your game because they are only going for achievements.

Not a fan of online achievements. They just ruin things, because everyone starts playing just to get achievements.

I like online trophies/achievements, specifically those that are attained by simply playing the game.
Examples: get X total kills (ex: 10,000); play X total matches (ex: 100); reach level X (ex: 50), etc.

I see. I remember when I played Halo 3 online, there was a guy who kept trying to encourage people to run over him with a vehicle so they can get the achievement for it. Lol.

You must be misinformed, TC. MW2 does have Trophies/Achievements, there's just a $10 add-on fee for it.

I'm quite fond of the idea of not having any trophies/achievements in multiplayer. They carry no purpose as most people end up boosting instead of actually earning it by themselves. I loved playing Killzone 2 online, but having to dedicate yourself to the game for about 3 hours a day 7 days a week to earn the top 1% trophy was ridonculous and something that I didn't have time for. The same goes for a game like Fear 2 it had a great single player campaign but the multiplayer was just above mediocre....the kicker was almost half the achievements/trophies were online! lol There are more games to list that you guys probably know about, but I think you know where I stand.

Yeah Halo 3 is plagued with cheap boosters who play only for the online achievments. :(

i think thats the best thing in the WORLD to possible NOT have in the online portion of the games. i absolutely hate achievement farmers while in playing in an online multiplayer, pisses me off to no end. so im extremely happy to hear that, of course its something i had already seen comming since IW isnt known for adding achievements to the multiplayer.

It's a great move and I hope other devs follow in their footsteps. There should not be any online achievements or trophies because of the buddy system, and no online achievements unless Microsoft makes Live free.

Multiplayer trophies hurts the online experience by forcing people that's just trying to play the game endure others boosting, and trophies grinders have to spend pointless hours online trying to find people to boost with them.

Good. I hate it when you have to kill X amount of oponnents online in order to get a trophie. I remember a trophie in Resistance 2 where you had to kill 50000 oponnents.

The question becomes, will they simply remove all multiplayr ones, or will they also add some more single player ones?

Either way, this is gonna piss off a lot of players, as well as Microsoft.
