futiles and I are heading up the boosting sessions for Achievement Fest. This will be the official thread so we can keep it all in one place.
When posting your boosting request, please include the following information:
-Title of the game
-The achievements you are aiming for
-Minimum and maximum amount of players
-Approximate length of session
-Preference of day and time for the session
Don't fret if you can't provide all this information on the spot, futiles and I can fill in a lot of the blanks. We just want to get our feelers out there and see what people are interested in boosting.

My special boosting request is:
HALO 2 (PC)
I will find out more about what is required, but if anyone else has the GFWL version of Halo 2, and wants to get a few sessions in, let me know. |

My boosting request is Halo 3
I don't have any of the achievements for the DLC or that crazy Vidmaster challenge with 4 ghosts on legendary.
Not sure if many other people are in the same boat as me, but since we have months to prepare, let me know if this is something you are interested in. |

Laus mentioned it in another thread, but he and I both want to finish up Attack of the Movies 3D which requires 4 players on the same box. I think it should take about an hour, but allow for 2 hours in case of us sucking too much. I think this one can take place during the world record attempt, as they are pretty quick and easy points. Here are the achievements I still need:
Underwater Mine Expert

This. I'm only missing the vidmaster for the 4 ghosts on legendary. I lost my Halo 3 disc though, so I'd need to borrow a copy. |

Every station is on a massive network in the store, but also hooked up through a huge connection online. A typical weekend at our store will see 75-100 players online at the same time playing League of Legends, WoW and Star Wars TOR online while Xbox players are on Black Ops, MW3, Gears 3 and more all on live. Everyone will have the top ping rates in their games, always < 100ms.
This is super important for the Guinness attempt also because we will want everyone online and getting good timestamps on their achievements. |

| I have dedicated wireless directly to the ISP. I started the ISP 10 years and I am still a shareholder so so we by-pass all other traffic to the NOC where we have dual T3 lines. Our wireless equipment has 60Mbps up/down available to us, but we use less than 20Mbps up/down during our busiest times. |

#1 - Is there anything you have not done?
#2 - 60 up/down is awesome... I was wondering how you run so many xboxs and not have lag issues. I was going to say dedicated OC-3 lines as a joke but dual T3 lines is execptional. My laptop will not be worthy to connect to it... How much you charge me for a VIP backstage tour in your comm room? |

| Hehe... the network room at the store isn't much, and it needs a good cleaning. The NOC over at the ISP building however is pretty awesome. I can't remember which, but we have either an OC-3 or an OC-12 between the ISP's NOC and the phone company. That is what our dual T3 lines of bandwidth use, and we also have a T3 with incoming DSL customers who we resold to go out through our bandwidth. I haven't done anything active with the ISP since I started eBash though, so I am a bit out of the loop. |

| How about Master of Ceremonies in Rainbow Six Vegas, and Full Boat in Homefront? Both require hosting a lobby of 16 players. |

I would definitely be up for that one. |

Excellent idea I'm down with home front. Already have R6V, but willing to fill in a spot.
Might be a good idea to make a list of achievements that require lots of players. The two above are great examples and can be finished quickly. Some more off the top of my head that can be annoying to get are;
GRAW2 - Enforcer "Eliminate 5 different human opponents in 30 seconds with at least 10 gamertags in the room"
PGR4 - Team Domination "Complete a Ranked Match Team Championship with your team taking up the top four positions." Requires 8 people - 4 on each team.
MX vs ATV Reflex - To the Victor "Place 1st in an Xbox LIVE Playlist Match with 11 human opponents" Requires 12 players.
Don King Presents PrizeFighter - Tournament Champ "Win a Ranked Tournament" Requires 8 players.
Fight Night Round 4 - Any of the belts in the online world championship mode. I do not hold any of the belts. I think only one person can hold them at a time.
I would guess some of the WWE or Smackdown vs Raw games have some MP achievements too, but I'm not really familiar with those games.
I think you get my point though. I would actually start new games if I can pick off the hard achievements first. Attack of the movies 3-D (in the other thread) is a good example. |

When sessions become more official, might be a good idea to make sure enough copies of the game will be available between people bringing their own and the number of copies eBash has.
Unless another session catches my eye, I will probably be looking to do some of the local guitar hero coop stuff as mentioned in another thread. I know Bomber offered to help, but since he has most of it done already, don't expect him to sit through it all, unless he wants to.
In particular, the GH3 co-op career achievements, which will take at least a few hours to run through the entire career. |

And if I remember correctly, only player 1 gets the achievement. |

Hmmm, that would suck, will have to look into it. |
