Achievement Junkies

*****UPDATE*****
This no longer works since they patched the game. Sorry.

This video for Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is for all the achievement junkies out there and for people like me under normal circumstances would never level up due to not playing multiplayer a lot. This video is done by the folks over at Next Gen Walkthroughs. This site is where I get a lot of my game help whenever I get stuck on games. They do walkthroughs for games like COD4, Gears of War, Halo 3, and a lot of other games. They take video footage of the best paths that they have found to get through games on the hardest difficulty. Veteran for COD4, Insane for Gears and Legendary for H3. In any case, this is a video showing how to get easy experience points so you can level up in no time on R6V2. There might be better ways to get to Elite in multiplayer but this is a pretty good way to unlock all of the A.C.E.S. classes which in turn unlocks the “Weapon Collector” achievement. Something the video doesnt mention, is that if you wait until they get on the turret before you shoot them, then you get points toward the “Assault” category. If you walk up close to them and shoot them with the shotgun or the Desert Eagle, you get points towards the “CQB” category. Enjoy.

Basic Office Survival via COD4

Unfortunately video games get a bad rep from the media and from people who do not game. They do not see the benefits that gaming can give or how pertinent it is for applying to daily life. Not only can video games increase hand/eye coordination but I have pondered other benefits they bring. With that being said, here are some lessons learned from my current game COD4 and how to apply it to office life:


  • When the supervisor is looking for you, go prone and they may pass by thinking you are dead.
  • When there is a company luncheon…pull out your knife and cut a watermelon into many pieces to hand out with one swipe of the knife.
  • If a customer gets in your face and starts barking complaints at you, if you time it right you can get them to be quiet with one quick twist of the head.
  • Before you blow off doing actual work to surf on the net, send out your UAB to make sure where all coworkers are at on the office map.
  • If your office building is built like a COD4 building, be aware of which stairs you take because some lead into a ceiling.
  • If you want a longer break time, get all ‘guilied’ up and hang out by the potted plants in the break room.
  • Keep an eye out on any TV’s at your office, if they have anyone speaking Arabic on them…destroy them. You could just get an achievement in your 9-5.
  • When using the office bathroom, never enter without your gas mask and night vision goggles…it could just save your life.
  • If you suffer a paper cut, take cover till you are completely healed.
  • When opening the company fridge, proceed with caution. Some foods have been contained in it so long, it’s no longer recognizable and has the same potency as C4.
  • For maximum safety, remember bullets cannot penetrate cubicle walls…true story.
  • Gaining XP at work not only looks good on your resume but also unlocks items and perks like woodland staplers, tape dispensers with silencer attachment, and dropping a nade when the copier jams.
  • Wait till your butt kissin’ coworker goes outside the building before you call an air strike.
  • Mondays = Loss, Fridays = Win!

So keep up the good fight soldiers. Fight through the work weeks and keep the respawns going. If you have anything to add to the list please leave a comment. And when we are not fighting on the office front, let’s hook up on XBL and fight the more enjoyable fight.
