Propaganda Games

Propaganda Games have are considering removing the team killing achievement in Turok. The company is playing it safe, however, and will most likely release a patch post-release if things get out of hand. Propaganda’s vice president Josh Holmes explained in an interview the reason for the achievement’s inclusion:

What we found was that players playing their first match in Turok - almost every player - was (accidentally) killing himself, a team mate and an enemy with a grenade or a Stick Bomb gun and so we thought ‘hey, we should give them an achievement for that’, as kind of a joke.

Doesn’t sound like a very reassuring comment about Turok’s gameplay mechanics.

Some gamers are up in arms over Propaganda Games’ plans to include an achievement that encourages team killing in Turok. The achievement requires you to “kill at least 1 creature, 1 enemy, 1 teammate, and yourself in the same round of a public match”. Given the uproar over team killing being enabled in the Team Fortress 2 beta - even without an incentive to do so - we’re expecting mass tantrums when Turok launches. Could this be the first time achievements end up driving multiple-platform owners away from the Xbox 360 version?
