Turok developers remove team-kill achievement with launch-day patch
Concerns over developer-encouraged griefing can now be quelled, as Game|Life reports that a patch will be released the same day that Turok launches in the US (Feb. 5), removing the controversial team-killing achievement from the online modes of both the PS3 and Xbox 360 version.
The patch will keep the "Grab Bag" achievement (and its parallel PS3 "accomplishment") intact, but remove the requirement that players must kill a team-member to acquire it. Once patched, the achievement will only require players to kill at least one creature, one enemy, and themselves in order to unlock.
Since the achievement only affects online play, the patch will probably have to be downloaded before any players can engage in multiplayer mayhem. We're happy Propaganda Games decided to release this patch sooner rather than later, though here's hoping eager griefers who heard about the sadistic achievement will also hear about its removal. Otherwise, there or not, the achievement may turn Turok into a TK nightmare.

The next generation of gaming doesn't start until we copie someone and until we say it does.

That is so true...lol
Kill at least 1 creature, 1 enemy, 1 teammate, and yourself in the same round of a public match
It's a kill anything and your self at the same time achievement, i could see people being concerned if it was kill a teammate and your self at one time but it's not. also, who cares if some on nade kills there self and you for 10 points??? it a public match (not ranked) achievement, public meaning for fun and not stats

I’m not interested in Turok. It seems is more focus in the multiplayer mode than Story mode. I hate multiplayer modes in certain games, I mean is cool but it only proportionate like 2 weeks of extra gameplay before you trade it for another game or just throw it away with Crackdown.

And the reason that it's hypocritcal is that they are all up in arms about this. They're bitching and moaning and trying to stir up the gaming community but then they go and post what they call "entertaining greifing videos" of pricks who do nothing but troll orange box servers looking for ways to piss other people off. People who do it all the time are the jackasses. People who do it once for an acheivement are just the ones having a good time.
