Left 4 Dead achievements revealed |

With its North American release just over a month away, Xbox360Achievements have revealed the full set of 50 achievements for the 360 version of Left 4 Dead. Although a tad shy of the 99 achievements that graced The Orange Box, Valve has kept the achievement style rather similar to that of the ‘the best deal in videogame history’, complete with the obligatory nod to the achievements of another interactive apocalypse simulator. And NO, I’m talking about Vampire Rain…..or Resident Evil 5 for that matter (good effort though). It’s Dead Rising…..if you didn’t already guess that.
Killing 53,595 infected, one more than the requirement for Dead Rising’s ‘Zombie Genocider’ achievement, will net you ‘Zombie Genocidest’. The majority of the other 49 achievements seek to award players for teamwork, insane skill and innovative methods of survival, rather than handing out 1000 points simply for completing every level. Take that King Kong!
So if you think you can survive an entire campaign using only pistols, or without anyone taking friendly fire damage, then you and your uninfectable friends should be well on your way to earning all of Valve’s unlockable love.

That looks like some fun cheevos. I hope none of them are glitchy (cough*too human*cough) making them almost impossible. Being from Valve I suspect they will all work great.

I hate achievements…they are so terrible. First they are annoying and pop-up in the middle of the screen, completely taking you out of the experience. Then they are used to drive up the sales and playing of really bad games. Just annoying way for people to show their e-peen status.
Trophies or only a little better since they over levels of trophies and then the eventual reward for trophies (which MS will copy). But I’ve recently seen people complaining that one person get trophies and not the other if you play a co-op game. If you are worrying about achievements/co-ops when you are playing a game with a friend. You are doing it wrong…
Another reason why I might want to get a PC.

You realise the PC version will probably have achievements as well. Valve seem to love the concept…

Yeah, I know they will have PC version but it won’t be as intrusive as the noise and green-lighted 360 version.

I am an anashamed achievement addict. Not to say that I’ll buy crap like Avatar: The Last Thingywotsit, but enough that I will go back to games and attempt to trudge my way through the Legendary, Insane or Sheer Trudgery difficulty settings.
These ones look pretty interesting. Lets hope they add as much to the game as the Orange box one’s did.
