As you may have seen on other sites such as Xbox 360 Achievements, the guides to each game usually have "road maps". These are complete guides to getting the achievements. Now, I'm too lazy to write out a guide and to be honest, True Achievements already has like 6 guides for every achievement so there is no point. However, I am here to give a rating on the achievement difficulty, the expected GS gain, and highlighting the most difficult or frustrating achievements.
Difficulty to 100% : 9/10
This is without boosting. This is due to the two achievements: 1) Multiplayer: Fire Controller and 2) Conspicuous Gallantry.
Fire Controller basically requires you to use every offensive killstreak once, and it is extremely frustrating to rack up enough score to activate the last ones without boosting. Many times you will come close and either A) die or B)game will end.
Conspicuous Gallantry is done in Tier 1 mode, where you must complete levels from the SP campaign under par time. Also, if you die you must replay the entire level. The frustrating part about this is the last level is the hardest of them all and I personally could not do it and just gave up.
Expected Gamerscore: 870
Difficulty of Expected Gamerscore: 4/10
Completing the game on hard is actually, easy. In fact, any FPS veteran should play the game on hard for their first play-through in order to get some sort of challenge from the game.
I gave the difficulty for the expected gamerscore a +1 because of two achievements. Manic Supression sometimes glitches and requires players to reset the whole level in order to get it. Also, Fear the Reaper is a bit of a bitch (get it? if not refer to the achievement description) and will probably require you to watch a video and then a few chances to get it right.
Summary: Easy game to rack up some huge gamerscore. Some of the online achievements take a little bit of time, but if you stick to once class it isn't too bad. Entirely possible to 100% but would probably require boosting and extreme patience. |

| I like what your doing here, but have you thought about posting these as "reviews"? You are basically reviewing the achievement part of the game, and they won't get lost in the ocean of the forums. |

I have thought about it, but my concern is that for some games it will easily be buried under a couple reviews and it might not gain much exposure. In the forums, sure in general it will get buried however for those who look at the specific game when looking for achievement help they may see it in the game specific forums, or on the side of the game page, which usually do not have very many posts.
I will continue to see how these forum posts go and perhaps I will put them up as reviews later on if I think it will do them better. |

| Good post. I agree it would make a good review, or, more specifically, it would make PART of a good review, along with some more typical comments about the gameplay, etc. But I agree with your difficulty ratings, and I like the way you presented the expected or easily obtainable score. |
