| You haven't mentioned the intel in chapter 6, it is on a table when you drop down to all the corpses. |

I have a suggestion for your guide: On the FUBAR-page you have the achievements
,
and
.
I understand you got these after you finished "suicide mission"-campaign.
However I'm sure many people would appreciate to find out about these before they start or during their "suicide mission"-campaign. Now they will find out when they are about to start the "FUBAR"-campaign.
Apart from this remark I have to say the guide looks very solid.
====================== EDIT ======================
I noticed the guide has some duplicate achievements. ie achievements are on both pages "Story walkthrough" and "FUBAR Walkthrough".
Most of these achievements are decision-related.
You could have all decision-achievements in one walkthrough?
Having only one instance of every achievement in the guide seems like a good thing to me. However if you disagree with this then I want to point out the missing achievement on the "Story walkthrough"-page:
ps. I did not check every single decision-achievement. More of them might not be duplicated.
ps. I might have overlooked it. Did you mention the use of auto-aim in your guide? |

Now they will find out when they are about to start the "FUBAR"-campaign.You come with a good point regarding these achievements. However, my approach on this guide in general is that people will have already had a look at all of the achievements before hand. I've aimed at people following the way I've unlocked the achievements so then they are not repeating chapters during their first playthrough, and then they can just clean up some of the achievements afterwards once they've finished the game in one run and enjoyed the story. Then they can make the decision on whether they want to quickly polish off these mentioned achievements or try and nail them during their FUBAR playthrough.

You could have all decision-achievements in one walkthrough?The duplicate achievements are intentional. I didn't want to spoil any of the story when writing the walkthrough so I linked all related decision achievements in both walkthrough pages. Linking one would lead me to having to explain why a particular decision would unlock and some people may not know what the other achievement is for the other decision in the same situation if you get what I mean.

Good spot, I'll PM Shadow and ask him to add this in.

Thanks for your feedback on the walkthrough. |

Maybe you should mention this in the walkthrough (overview). That way people can prepare and adapt to your approach.
If people are not aware of your appoach/intention then you create a situation where:

I disagree. Achievement hunting animals like ourselves will always look at all the achievements for a game before diving into it. I'd confidentally expect gamers to check out the list on Xbox LIVE, or/and on the Summary page of the walkthrough itself were all 50 "achievements in this walkthrough" are showcased on the page, and/or on the game's actual TA page itself.
Even if people haven't checked out the list, they still won't actually miss any achievements and the only time they wouldn't know "what the other achievement is" would be if I hadn't linked both achievements at the times of the decisions from the campaign.
Mentioning that gamers should look at the achievements before hand is just pointless. When I decided to put this walkthrough together, I looked at all the achievements and decided the best way to go about unlocking them. Obviously as you can see, this is how it's turned out. For the readers, I'd expect them to look at the list, then they'd either make their own plans on how to go about unlocking the 1000g, or, they'd use my walkthrough in which all of the achievements are taken care of following my way and cancelling out the need for me to remind them to look at the achievement list again.
Sorry for going on with myself here, but I just personally really wouldn't expect people to dive head first into a walkthrough without taking a look at the achievement list first. |

| The video guide for FUBAR difficulty Chapter 13 is in your achievement solution but missing from the walkthrough. Just noticed as I've gotten 2 'would you like to lower the difficulty' messages at the section where you defend Adams while his lazy ass is down and finally conceded defeat to look at how you did it. |
Don't hate the game or the player; hate the developer.
