Korther: ExaltedVanguard: I think people are just being whiney when it comes to Running the Show. It's a single achievement. So what? You don't have 50 gamerscore. Whoop-dee-freakin-doo. It's not like the entire game is made of impossibly annoying achievements, such as Chromehounds or Perfect Dark Zero. It's ONE achievement. Oy.
(and before someone stupid says something, no, I don't have a general, but I'm very close to brigadier and realize the time-investment involved)
2% of the population of Halo Wars has the General rank.
I think it was less, I need to recheck the thread--but 2% at the most.
1 out of 50 people has it.
That's not exactly good.
Personally, I see 1/50 people having the hardest achievement of any given game would be a good thing. Then those achievements would actually mean something (to people who care about points at all, anyway). Don't get me wrong, a game with 20 of these achievements would suck, but is it really so bad to have one? Really? I'd rather be at least challenged for a few of my achievements.
