They bloody were to make sense of. I was like uhhhhh. Perhaps if you play SOCOM a lot they’ll be alright. I just don’t like all of the multipart trophies.

Do something 100 times in a game whilst hopping and only using 25 bullets and aiming at 50 enemies. Fuck that.

You have to ‘live’ on the game for a year or two until the follow comes out, and by then you’ll hopefully have enough kills for the last few golds, to get the platinum

wow these look very hard. I do not like the multiple parts for each trophy. At the very least the bronze should be 200 kills with this weapon. So many kills with this weapon. So many wins on each map.
These look like it will only be good for the Socom fanatic and the problem with that is if your that into Socom you probably could careless about trophies.

I reckon they want people to get them just by playing the game A LOT. That’s fine in theory so long as it’s not to make up for the game lacking any other reasons to make you want to keep playing

Obviously the devs had trouble with the whole Bronze, Silver and Gold trophy difficulty thing. Reminds me of Far Cry 2.

I think they seem pretty good ideas for trophies, with the whole class thing. But only if you could see how far you were with each part on the trophy list, such as a counter to show how many kills so far you have with an assault rifle. It’d be nice for this to apply to other games too. I don’t see why all these games are getting trophy abuse lately, I mean sure they’re not really changing the mix from what’s been done, but at least they have them
What’s everyone’s opinion on what makes a good trophy anyway? Should it be some statistic that you need to work towards? A hidden part of the game? Something you would do anyway by playing the game? In my opinion they should take out those damn online trophies and make them applicable to multiplayer too as some of us would rather not have a game with a bunch of snotty american 12 year olds and would like to achieve something with some mates in the same room. Honestly, online multiplayer is the worst thing that ever happened to this gen…
