Hey I just linked my Gamertag to GB and this is an awesome feature! I like how you show whether they're rare, uncommon or common. What I noticed though, is that Mile High Club isn't listed as a rare achievement. I checked the stats for it and only like 600 people on the site have it. How are rare achievements measured? Is it based on how many people have it on the site or the overall Xbox Live stats? Also, is it based on how many people have it compared to how many have the game or is it how many have it out of everyone on the site with a linked account? Didn't Infinity Ward release a statistic once saying that like 1% of players have Mile High Club?
Achievements & Mile High Club
So it is based on Giant Bomb users and not the whole of Xbox Live. If that's true then as more and more users link their accounts it will eventually become rare. Obviously only the dedicated Achievement Hunters like myself are going to add their Gamertags in the first week or so.
I tried getting it a few times then I said "F*ck This" and I went to play something else. [more]
I have it and, at first, I really thought it was "rare" and I was sort of pissed off but I realized that the system is comparing it to the other GB users, not all of XBL. So, it is not as rare for people on a video game website like GB to get it when compared to the rest of the world.
Mile High Club might eventually become a rare achievement as more people connect their gamertag to the Giantbomb server, but as for now it's just uncommon. I'm a little disappointed in that regard but I'll live with it. Infinity Ward statistics says there's only like 3% of 10-14 million players who have this achievement, so that's about what, 300,000?
