Wait a min. are you guys really saying you found getting those medals hard? I mean really the only one that took anytime what so ever was the gold shotgun in one round but I got that my 2ed time using the shotgun. I don't know I just found all those medals so very easy

Well, I played it on my desktop, which is a powerhouse compared to my crappy lappy. I'm sure I could turn the game into easy mode if I were really inclined to do so. That said, since I found the correct execution method, you could say it was easy anyways.

Also, if the only one that took you any time was killing 3k zombies with a shotgun in one game, how come 5k zombies in one game didn't take you that long? Hmm... /tease

This is one fundamental problem I'm finding that makes flash-based achievement systems is that on one end of the spectrum, you have the slow computers, and on the other end, you have the gaming computers. For certain games such as The Gun Game 2, it's impossible to do some expert medals on a slow computer. Yet on the other hand, it's nearly impossible to get the 50-point medal in Spaceland Adventure 2 with a fast computer. That is, unless you have mad dodging skills like this guy does.

And nevermind the fact that hacker tools exist...

@DiMono, you not having played the game really destroys your arguments for raising medal values doesn't it?

For level 43, your best bet is to place the airplane in the top spot, and aim toward the back of the train. Again, this one's luck based, but more often than not, all the buildings will blow up.

For level 22, aim toward the top bank and try to hit it with a truck, or bus (something bigger than a car). If you're fortunate enough, the bank exploding will make a car go into the opposite lane, where the other cars will hit it and cause a chain reaction that'll blow up the second bank. The $$ damage should reach 90k if there are enough bigger vehicles.

For level 34, aim toward the back of the middle missle truck. That should toss it into the way of the middle road section. If you're lucky, the chain reactions of the crashes should blow up the 3 missle trucks and give you the 190k damage.

infect. evolve. repeat. 2: I just got the Pandemic medal at the end of level 15. I focused almost entirely on increasing reproduction rate, damage and immunity, and got them to levels 4, 5 and 6 respectively, and the rest of my points went into latency to bring it up to level 2. Then when the level began I just clicked and dragged as fast as I could. Each infected red blood cell was spawning 6 of my bacteria, and I finished the level with two more infected blood cells, so when they popped after the level told me I'd won, I got the medal. I think this has to be the only way to get it.

Now all that's left is the 70,000 EP medal.

Alright, important note on this one: you'll get it upon starting the round that follows attaining 70,000 EP. So don't freak out right away if you reach it but don't get the medal, wait until you've started the next round to freak out.

I never said that you shouldn't. I just said that you not having tried the game doesn't give you a solid handle on whether it deserves its point values raised. In fact, a worse (not worst) case scenario is that the author could assume you took knowledge and difficulty of the game from boneheads and/or casuals, hypothetically speaking. (I doubt that lol)

Devil's advocate time: I bet if I speed run all the achievements of the game, I could get them all in three hours tops. That's 280 medal points in three hours, which is an average deal. Hell, looking at Nijsse's profile, that's probably what happened anyways. It looks like he got all the hard ones while burning through the SMG-related achievements. Then he goes on to get the shotgun ones.

I don't have the best computer out there best way to describe my computer would be to say it could handle 40 mans in WoW (world of warcraft) But I would lag in the most popular city. And yes The gun game 2 was hard with my computer but i did get it done. As far as Spaceland adventure 2 is concerned I can't even beat the 2ed stage. The Zombie kills were difficult but the gun game was a lot harder for me. One last thing Paper Warfare WTF is up with that game is it broke?

I don't play WoW, so I can't say anything.

Is it because you don't know how to defeat the 2nd boss in Spaceland Adventure 2, or do you just ...? It's really easy to complete if you know what to do.

So at one point you were saying "Zombie game was very easy!" and now you're saying it was difficult? I'm getting mixed signals here...

Paper Warfare is not broken last I checked. Unless you mean the medals don't send. But I can't verify that now because I already have them all.

Your solution helped me as well. Got it on my 2nd try. Place at the top, shoot almost off the screen on the left side right away. Should explode top left, bottom left, and bottom right buildings everytime.

Any tips for my remaining three?

See a previous post of mine on the level 33 challenges. I just replayed that one for shyts and giggles, and got 4 F-16s and both firetrucks.

As for the first one, it helps if you blew up the oil tankers. Other than that, I don't really know what to tell you =/

In related news, I got the 55 cars destroyed in a single level medal! What happened when I got it was my F-16 managed to clear all 6 lanes, and the ensuing pileups gave the lanes ample room to spawn more cars. Shyt blows up, etc., etc.

What? It's obvious which level it should be done in: 41!

I'm still having some trouble with that one. My best score so far is 53, so I guess it's just a matter of patience and some luck. In case anyone is wondering why I got all the Night of Million Zombies medals and my name doesn't show up in the highscore list, it's because some time ago you needed to create a Mochi account in order to get a certain medal. I picked another name than Nijsse there (VadsigKassawijf), and for some reason I always get auto-logged on to that name. Same goes for Necrorun and probably some other games.

Glad to hear it helped.

For level 24's blow up 15 cars medal, don't go straight for the gas station. Instead, aim toward the road, and hit a car. The pile-up should eventually blow up the gas stations and 15 cars.

Level 26's 90k damage medal is mostly about timing, making sure that there's a lot of large vehicles on the road. What I did to get the medal, was to aim for an oil truck, running it into the station. Usually that caused crashes on both roads, and the pile-ups eventually gave out 90k damage.

For level 33, Fooliolo has some good advice for it on the previous page.

Good luck!

The only medal I'm missing now in that game is the one for reaching the ground. I really hope the distance to the ground isn't 1,500ft.

You know the cutscene where you have to fight off the robot? The second cutscene is a cop car shooting at you from the side.

Got it. The distance to ground for me was 1,761, though I kind of suspect it's 1,500 + however long it takes to fight off the robot and evade the police. Took over the high score while I was at it, too.

Speaking of the police, that's a really evil little cutscene to play. It takes long enough and is relaxing enough that when it's over, if you entered it with any kind of speed you're going to be totally thrown off by how fast the buildings come at you. I can't tell you how many of my games ended within 10 seconds of evading the police.

I got the ''ground'' medal at 1961, it seems that I'm a little slow with the police. Ah well, the points still add up.

I didn't face any trouble right after the police part. I had significantly more trouble with the distance at 300-700 than above 1200 metres.

All the medals are actually quite easy.

Sadly, there's no point bonus for reaching the ground, so all you have to do is last more than 1,761ft and collect more than 144 coins and you'll beat me. I seriously hope those medals are approved though. Think if enough of us pester PG about it he'll push them through?

Also, here's a game that I really wish had NG medals, but the in-game achievements will have to do instead:
