Subject: Bungie, please include an achievement tracker.

Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen it's true face. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"...

...and I'll look down, and whisper "no."

I know that I am not the only one here who loves to get achievements to watch their never-ending gamerscore rise. Yes, it has no purpose but I love it.

*breaks away*

This brings me to my plead to Bungie to include an achievement tracker such as the one in GoW 2 or Orange Box. Not many games include it and I don't know why because to me it seems like nice feature to be able to see how close I am to getting an achievement.

If we cannot have one that pops up while playing at least provide one in the Start menu for us,

The circle is now complete.

There is one built into the 360 menu if you didn't know.

Just hit the guide button and scroll left.

But it depends on the type of achievement

Punch a bear in the face.


If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

No, he means something like... well say there's an achievement for killing 1,000 Grunts. He talking about something that tells you exactly how many more Grunts you need to kill.

Gears 2 and the Orange Box both had this, and it was a good tool to have.

That is an achievement list which is different since it only gives you the requirements. Not how much you've completed towards the achievement or how much you have left.

Ahh, I see. At first I thought he meant the tracker on the Bottom of your service record on Bungie.net. I'm sure that bungie will include that, since they will probably use the same design engine to make the ODST service record.

On topic, yes, I would like to see an n-game achievement tracker that tells you how far/many things you have to do to get the achievement. It helped a lot in Orange Box, it should help a lot in ODST, too.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

See it all depends on the Achievements

It will work in Firefight (# Rounds Set whatever) and Campaign missions...BUT it is kinda obvious too.

Yes, it would only work for achievements that you had to reach a certain numerical value or collect items such as skulls.

What i think he means is, for example in Gears of War 2 one of the achievements is kill 500 enemies(i don't know the exact number) and he wants something that say you have 300 kills. Rather than just getting the achievement at 500.

But if there isn't any achievements like that . . . there is no point

EDIT : I type so slow that this question was answered like 4 different times before I submitted. I fail
