Woohoo!
Boy am I excited to tell you about the two latest features Ben has implemented for Achievement Hunter!
Leaderboards is fairly self-explanatory, but I’m so excited I still have to talk about it. Our site now has Leaderboards (updated from Xbox every 60 minutes). You can view every user on the site, RT Staff, AH Staff, and your Friends List. Now you can instantly feel better about yourself by seeing how much higher your Gamerscore is than your “friends”. Take for instance Jack, who’s Gamerscore is barely 26,000. Hahahahaha. It works! Now I feel great!
Moving along to the coolest feature ever,
Achievement Races. You can now create your own Achievement races in one of three ways. You can chose to have a race for total Gamerscore (ie. first user to a 100,00 gamerscore), an incremental amount (like first to 1,000 pts), or game specific (like first to get 1,000 pts in Modern Warfare 2). The races are also updated every 60 minutes, and will allow all users to go nuts competing with each other.
To start things off, we’ve created a
staff race to 1,000 pts. I feel sorry for the competition. Either they lose and look like chumps, or beat me and get fired.
Please take a look at these new features (located under the games dropdown tab), and let us
know what you think, there’s bound to be a bug here or there, and you might think of cool ways to use these features that we haven’t yet. Oh, and if you see a game missing from the race dropdown, be sure to let us know. We can add it in in about two seconds.
