Yeah, he's sure "achieving" them alright lol.
Dude, I could see boosting for Decorated Soldier, Rainman and Violent Cartographer.
Hell, I did for the the last two of those.
Some of the multiplayer achievements are nigh impossible - most specifically these three - because of the low volume of players and the crappy playlist configurations. In the case of Violent Cartographer, I had been playing MP since 6/1 (when the game was available in my local stores) and by 6/13, I had played all but 5 maps. I looked for servers playing these maps - NONE did, or the ones who had it in their rotations had no players, ever.
In the case of Rainman, you have to play every default type of every default variant. There aren't many servers out there with Juggernaut or Oddball in their rotations, let alone every type within each variant. And with 16 players, it's VERY hard to get 8 medals in a single non-team match for Decorated Soldier [Splatter, Carjack, Snipe, Double Kill, Triple Kill, Killing Spree, Assassination, Stick - probably the easiest 8 to get the achievement with, hard as hell when you have 16 people on a map].
So in the case of those three achievements, I really don't mind people boosting to get them. One day I'll probably boost to get Decorated Soldier, as well.
The rest are way easy to get just by playing. Skewer Stopper is cake if you get into a rumble swords match, at least that's how I got it.
