There are 3 MVP achievements in Battlefield 3, They are:
Most Valuable Player
Finish as MVP in a ranked match
1st Loser
Finish as 2nd MVP in a ranked match
It's better than nothing!

If I unlocked the "Most valuable player" achievement, h...
Question for folks who have been involved in SE site closed betas -- Is it bad form to just ask some of the best questions from the Area 51 proposal? For some reason I was under the impression that these were automatically used to seed the initial content, but apparently not.
Am I a NOOB if I get killed every now and then (maybe once every 2 missions) in the "Regular" MW3 campaign? I am definitely not as accurate in my targeting as some of the vids I have seen, but I make pretty good progress. Currently about 33% through after 3 hours of play.
On the custom class and multiplayer lobby screens, if you hit X (on the Xbox 360), challenges are displayed.
What determines which challenges are shown using this interface, and is it different between the two screens?
It doesn't seem like it's possible to customize your kit, except for when you are playing or in the main menu (i.e. not between matches). Or am I missing something?
When you play on dual screen, the second player gets some XP points depending on his performance during the match.
I think that the main player, the one who owns the account, get those points to get higher level.
But what happens with XP of the second player ?
Do his points are lost when the ma...
One of the things I loved about Morrowind and Oblivion was the ability to Alchemy, the ability to make potions.
Which of the following will be included in Skyrim?
Collecting ingredients in the wild
Buying ingredients from stores

Is there anyway to view Modern Warfare 2 stats (such as KD, level, etc) online (via a browser, not using the in game options)? I'm particularly interested in something for Xbox 360.
In LEGO: Pirates of the Carribean, how do you purchase any of the bad/evil characters, like Davy Jones, the hammerhead shark guy, etc.?
If you wait around long enough in the port, the bad guys eventually show up and start fighting. Unlike good characters, which you can purchase directly (hittin...
Besides updated plot and new features, were any actual changes made to the game engine or the graphics, etc.? It seems to me as though they are basically all the same.
> If any of you folks were considering buying Modern Warfare 3, don't. It's a horrible, embarrassing pile of trash. The game is so bad that it has retroactively eliminated all of the fun I had in the COD franchise since the first game. It's graphically dated, the animations are beyond horrible and the combat sound feels lifted straight out of a free to play browser FPS.
> It's a complete embarrassment for a series that despite its naysayers would consistently put out a quality product. It's a marked step down from Modern Warfare 2 and somehow looks worse than it's predecessor. It plays like a Chinese free-to-play knockoff of a Quake game running a second-rate mongoloid-coded Modern Warfare mod. Nothing about this game feels even remotely like a Triple A Call of Duty title.
> I am physically and emotionally stunned by how bad this game is and feel as though I cannot fully articulate it's badness without resorting to bloodshed.
Recently, I was looking at Dungeon Defender questions when I noticed a slight inaccuracy in one of the answers. The ETA of a patch. It was originally the 7th, but had been changed to the 9th. Unfortunately, a simple change from "7th" to "9th" wasn't allowable. I had to edit more! I ended up just ...
I have a few crates in my inventory that I would like to open. I wondered if it was possible to have a pack of keys? I am not talking about trading. I'm talking about one item that gives me X keys. With sets, usually, the price is cheaper.
I also wondered if there was a better time to another to...
I've had a few debates with friends over the whole CoD franchise and all, and one of their biggest and most recurring points is that Modern Warfare 3 is the same as Modern Warfare 2 but with changed characters, weapons, and locales. The storyline being the same.
What, if anything, in Modern Warf...
In sanctum (for steam), there's three achievements related to shooting strawberry fish, but no matter how much I shoot them, or what game mode, I never get any progress towards any of the achievements. Is there a known bug or glitch related to these achievements, and is there any workaround?
It had kind of an off road feel, except you were looking straight down on the track. After each level you could upgrade your truck. 4 players, one for each side of the table. Sounds like Off Road, but is not. It was more fun and ate quarters like there was no tomorrow. I can't remember, but it p...
How does one randomly pattern mossy and cracked stone brick among regular smooth stone brick using worldedit? Is there a script for it or does the "vanilla" worldedit have the capabilities of doing that?
I'm trying to create some stronghold-esque ruins and regular smooth stone doesn't have the r...
Firstly- I know you can't save your game in BoI.. that's not what this question is about :)
I'm referring to the local save data, like unlocks, collection, stats, etc. I move between three computers regularly (home pc, laptop, and work computer) and it's a pain in the ass not having all of the c...
I often need to track down a specific type of tree, rock, animal, etc. However, the zone map doesn't seem to give any indication of what resources are where. I have to either rely on my limited memory, or just wander in hopes of finding what I'm looking for.
Is there any way in game, on the site...
The only way I know to find out my current favor is to ask a shrine, and this only tells me the favor I've accrued for one god. Is there any way to view all my favor ratings simultaneously?
When I attempt to launch any part of Modern Warfare Three on my PC through Steam, it crashes immediately, and this happens (multiplayer as example):

I started out playing Special Ops, and unlocked a few guns and gained rank.
I wasn't really paying attention when I dove into Multiplayer... But does anyone know if what you achieve in Special Ops transfers to Multi-player leveling?
I try to keep an eye on untagged and keep its population low. A couple of days ago it occurred to me that a tag wiki inviting others to do the same might be a good idea and so submitted an edit for consideration.
Shortly afterward, I was awarded the reputation for an accepted edit. However, th...
I know some may cry "foul" or "cheating" but I'm really fascinated by the people who seem to be amazing marksman in the Modern Warfare series via a quick scope kill.
Can anyone detail out the mechanics of quick scoping for MW3?
I'm on xbox 360.
The only things I remember was the plot went something along the lines of "You're friends are jerks and make you break into this gated house" (passably a museum or art gallery) I remember there being a bar at the bottom of the screen, Health probably?
Apparently the computer had hibernated and thus stopped uploading. Why do you think I left you on overnight?! So you could turn off when I went to bed?!
@RonanForman You know, you can set it up so it doesn't do that. Also, so it doesn't apply updates and reboots by itself. That's the default setting I use; not even my laptops hibernate when I close the lid, they just turn off the monitor.
I remember that Oblivion implemented a behavior that level up monsters and enemies at the same time as main character. How does it work in Skyrim? Is this behavior still partially or totally present?
I can't remember which console it was on, but think it was the PS. It was a fighter game that i bought in USA cause it didnt come out in Europe. It was based on asian weapons and styles, and you fought with your character trough either story mode or vs as normal games. What was special about this...
I see there is a Facebook Login in the MW3 Multiplayer main menu and I wonder What it actually does.
Will I have to install a Facebook App in my Profile?
If it works as an announcer, can I set who sees my actions and to what extent?
For example: I want only my close friends and not my co-worker...
@MrNovember The alternative is that you start downloading the game on Sunday, then on average it'd be faster to drive to a shop and bring the physical copy home.
A successful grant applicant is required to send a copy of an electronic receipt.
I have pre-ordered a game and I believe that (at least with Amazon), the money does not get taken out of my account until the item has been dispatched, so my original pre-order email isn't technically a receipt:

I have problem with my license.
The strange thing is that I have it only at website- when I log into my SC2 account in the game everything is working well.
What's going on?
Below screnn from the website:
What is the logic behind the room with the symbols on the floor in the French Chateau? I realise I need to follow the directions in the journal, but it seems that even when I take exactly the same path I fail at different points.
Does anybody know when Call of Duty Elite will start for PC-users?
I read about they're having security-problems on this interview so theres only the PS3- and X-Box-version available aut the moment and that the PC-version will have limited functionality, but i couldn't find information about the...
I have been playing the campaign on normal difficulty, and even now, at times, I find myself reading war-related quotes.
I can imagine that enemies react faster and are much more accurate with increasing difficulty level.
What I really want to know is, the single-player experience is pretty lin...

Should we close the similarities one as a dupe of the other, or...? While the questions are slightly different, they'll likely end up with the same content as an answer.
Will the Elite subscription give an advantage on player who haven't susbscribed ?
Does it give better weapons, perk, equipment ?
I know you can participate on daily competition to win real and virtual prizes.
You'll have some free downloadable content (maps I guess, avatars...)
Will it give you...
Anyway, I need to get going, I need to be at work in 30 minutes and it takes me about 15 to drive there and 10 to get from my parking spot to work (the fun part about working downtown).
Also, I appear to have gotten a SWTOR beta invite this morning. I wonder if it's fake or legit.
@FallenAngelEyes I wish "guild deployment" would have more of "air drop into combat zone, establish outpost and secure a landing zone, wait out for supplies and reinforcements" feel to it. Alas, it's Bioware.
Back in Europe I have a N64 console. As I am currently living in Japan, I find myself tempted to buy some old N64 games in Japanese.
My question thus is: Can you play a Japanese N64 Game on a European console?
During a match, I saw the message "Assist Counts As Kill". I was using the standard Hardline perk which provides access to killstreaks one kill earlier. At the end of the match, the game informed me that I had unlocked the Hardline Pro perk which adds the bonus "every two assists count as one ...
The first Indie Royale bundle, “The Launch Bundle”, came and went about a week ago now. I grabbed a copy fairly early, mostly to pick up Sanctum and give that a whirl. Now, Sanctum is good enough, but it was two of the other titles from the bundle that have really grabbed my attention, and [...]
Last night I played a few games with my friend. While in the last game, I suddenly remembered something I had to do and was about to leave but my friend told me that I would lose my progress if I did so. I stayed until the end, through the scoreboard screen and quit while the next map was loading...
I'm looking for the name of an old squad based game. Where you would control (American?) soldiers. I remember the viewpoint being from above. And you had to do some missions to get to the next. Now i don't know the era it was in (Probably either WW2 or Vietnam?) . Also if your soldiers are killed...
@DMA57361 I wonder if you'd like any of the adventure games made by TellTale Games. They split them into several parts, which make for shorter, standalone games that are still related. Their first major series, Sam and Max Save the World (aka Sam and Max: Season 1) was split into 6 parts.
"A virtual Easter egg is an intentional hidden message or an in-joke in a work such as a computer program, web page, video game, movie, book or crossword. "
@ArdaXi intentional.. why are we arguing about language? It is pretty obvious the example I posted on the question is an intentional addition to the game
Are there any hidden areas in the Portal 2 single-player campaign?
I have finished the game a few times, and have had a casual look around for any fun hidden areas, but I must have missed them.
The answer does not change. It's rather trivial to create one right answer that stays correct forever. Nowhere in the body does it ask for one spot per answer.
@badp thanks for the example. I do understand the definitive thing. What I don't understand is that, while the list may never be complete, it is still fun and useful to know
@badp I was under the impression that "hidden areas" were much like "secret techniques", which are defined by being in a specific set, not by the actual adjective.
Portal 2 makes it obvious, since most of the hidden areas have achievements. The one I can think of that doesn't has a special developer commentary node.
To look at it another way, the Shinespark and Wall Jump are two secret techniques in Super Metroid that are in hidden places that can be learned there. But there are more complex "hidden techniques" available to do absolutely ridiculous sequence breaking.
I'd consider that going into those latter ones as being too out-of-scope and undefined.
@Wipqozn it is this sort of elitist mob mentality that puts people off joining the discussion here. I know he was joking but in light of the conversation it was uncalled for and it would probably put people off from ever coming here again... the three stars on the comment doesn't help much either.
I'm thinking for example about hero core, where at some late point in the game it tells me up down left right shoot makes a powerful health-draining scrattergun attack that you probably could've used way before the game told you.
Which would also apply to the various spells in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, since until you accidentally do them or buy them from someone in the castle, they appear as ???????????????????????? in your spell list.
Incidentally, if you haven't played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and like Metroidvania games, you should get SotN... it's on PSN and XBLA... and on the Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles disc for PSP.
What makes "hidden features" not work is that any obscure feature can be considered for posting, as long as one measly person wasn't aware of it. This is because it is based on the adjective. For a functional question to really work, it needs to operate on a meaning of hidden that isn't merely that adjective.
@GraceNote Okay, that's clearer and agreeable. If Warren's question was "what areas must I visit to unlock the X achievement" I wouldn't have objected.
According to the CoD wiki and the game itself, Impact only increases damage through surfaces (in a similar manner to Deep Impact and FMJ from previous games). However, I seem to be experiencing higher damage overall. A single burst from my M16 will now take down an enemy with ease as opposed to...
@Powerlord For one thing, you aren't affected by status ailments - makes certain battles way too easy that it's actually kinda disappointing. You also don't get the... um... the one fight in the normal castle that is where the Mummy is in the Reverse Castle.
@Powerlord If it's something you can find out, definitively and exactly, like "How many super mutant overlords are there in the Capital Wastelands?" for FO3? All it takes to answer it is to open the game editor, find the monster, right-click on it, pick "References" (or whatever it's called) and count the references ...
Isn't there a big difference between easter eggs and hidden things though?
Easter eggs are jokes really. Hidden things are game features.
@Wipqozn Sorry I meant to quote the message not @ message you. It wasn't a personal groan, just an overall feeling that was pretty summed up by the one message. :)
@Powerlord Well, that's not exactly a feature in the same way as a fire extinguisher kill, now, is it? Also I missed the reference since I haven't watched the Star Wars movies.
What do we want to do with quesions asking about hidden features, hidden areas, hidden mysteries, hidden endings, etc.?
On the one hand, it'd seem silly to ban questions about alternate endings, because getting all the endings is usually considered a "moral requirement" for saying one has "beate...
I thought the whole point of forming a squad before you joined a game was so that you wouldn't get put on a server where your squad got split up. Multiple times on xbox I've formed a squad with 3 or 4 people, and once we've joined a game, we find out some people are on the opposite team.

In Modern Warefare 3 there is the new Specialist strike package. Basically you choose 3 perks, and you'll be awarded an extra perk every 2 kills. I'm not seeing any way to determine in what order you get these extra perks though. For instance, I might want Endurance(marathon/whatever) before I wa...
I was playing the pc game called Tintin, secret of the Unicorn in which there is a scene where Captain Haddock is sword-fighting with some enemies. The problem is that the only keys that seem to work are the W,A,S,D keys and they are only used for defending from attacks. I tried all the other key...
