With the recent release of a new set of Hush-Hush achievements, we noted a pretty varied response in how people approached achievements/medals in general.
Hush-Hush medals are designed to be a mixture of a riddle and actual gameplay. Sometimes figuring out the map/difficulty the medal mentions is enough, sometimes you will need to figure out more than just that, and other times you may not even be able to find out how to get the medal until someone else stumbles upon it accidentally. We understand that these medals don't interest everyone, and that there is some concern about some medals being too difficult to be attainable by most people.
Progression medals are far simpler, and currently exist in most modes up to 8 stars. We don't see many players feasibly being able to play at or above an 8 star level in most modes for the near future, so we've not got any plans to expand them any further than that for now.
Gimmick medals often fall in the Hush-Hush category (most of the earlier ones fall under this moniker) and involve achieving outrageous or not-commonly attained statistics in a given game, like finishing a map with 13x 100s, and 37x 300s.
Going forward, what would you like to see more of? How would you like to see these medals revealed?
Please note that currently, medals can only be awarded based on scores only. This means that things like cursor-dancing, key-combinations and other in-client stuff cannot be used to award users medals.
