Thats kinda weird. Not sure why they would leave that out? I have that achievement but no idea how I got it.

What boggles my mind is the "All 4 Dead" Achievement. Only 5.7% got it but it was of the first, and easiest achievements I received. Barf bagged is another easy one I got but only 8.7% has it. Mind you, achievements are low priority for me, I only have about 25. A lot less then most.

Have someone who already has it vomit on you (you need to be survivor).

I've wondered about this too. If the above is actually the case, how did the 1st person get it?? Chicken or the egg kind of scenario.

As far as i can tell it happens when a boomer hits you but misses another teammate, then you kill the boomer causing it to explode and cover a previously missed teammate.

Game developers get the achievement via emplacement into their systems, then play and spread the infection.

Please don't try and start a flame war and don't act ignorant. I could say "Well the Xbox360 moves the guns slightly slower and aims more like a real gun instead of moving like the fucking flash with a sniper, talk about OP", but then I would be pulling a dick move like you are, a slightly superior dick move though with some reasoning though.

Either way it's personal taste so do not open this can of worms. I'm gonna cut the legs off the argument here and tell possible future whiners to shut the fuck up; the game is excellent on both platforms, if you wish to argue the pros and cons of a systems possible aiming abilities with shooters then take it to a forum of such. This is a forum for L4D.

Now back on topic.

I figured the achievement would be given to a random person, or as someone previously said a developer, and then it spread from there. It's strange that it's not included on the 360 though.

Whereas I disagree I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how ignorant they may seem when not producing reasons why their statement is correct.

I prefer console because I find PC's difficult to handle, although I do enjoy playing Aliens Versus Predator 2 on the PC.

There's only one factor which decides which platform is better for you:

Which one do your friends play on?

Everything else is secondary. That said, the customization, scripts/console, and custom content tip the balance in PC's favor. And on the other hand, few things beat being able to splitscreen or system-link with buddies in the room, though.

See? Even I'm torn between them. That's why I got both.

As for the topic at hand, perhaps it's not on the Xbox because it doesn't make sense to gain gamerscore for just getting barfed on. ;D

Acermors > Acramors, or so I think...
