As they always say:
"Its better to give than to receive."

The only way to get the "Six Degrees of Small Arms" achievement in Small Arms is to play someone that already has this achievement.

So if you purchased Small Arms and do not have this achievement, send me a message via Xbox Live and we'll play some multiplayer. My Xbox Live Gamertag is lightsup55.

ATTENTION ADMINISTATOR(S): Please create a forum for the new Xbox Live Arcade game Small Arms and move this topic there. After that, remove this text from my post. Thanks.

now I KNOW this game isn't out yet (unless it came out this morning)

I love to get myself that achievement... when the game comes out

I've added Small Arms to the list of game forums that need to be added, for the time being though I'm moving this to the general games section, where I'm sure it will grab a lot more interest

EDIT: ok, I guess it DID come out this morning

AWESOME!
i cant wait to play this!
even tough it will be like next week with thanksgiving and shit.
i did get to play it at digital life and it was damn fun but a little awkward aiming the guns and mele attacks...maybe its been tweaked since then or maybe they have different controller schemes

I'm confused by this. How did the first person to get the achievement get it? Cause someone had to get it first, right?

The developer has some way of giving themselves the achievement before the game gets released. When the game is released, the developer gets on Xbox Live with that Gamertag and plays some multiplayer. Anyone who joins that game and plays all the way through (i.e. without quiting) winning or losing, they get the achievement.

Of course, those players then play some more multiplayer and the achievement is given to other players. And it continues to spread like pink eye or the common cold.

where did you get it?

oh and you better be on tonight because I plan on snagging the game and playing you for that achievement

Played it this morning and got the achievement with a developer which is only 0 points.

At the same time it's cool but it's not since it adds nothing to my gamerscore

twistedsymphony · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2006, 07:59:00 AM »

heh I just played online and got it at the end of my first match.

Even if it is only 0 points it's still a freaking cool idea for an achievement, IIRC Tony Hawk Project 8 has the same type of achievement. where you have to beat a developer, or beat someone who has beaten a developer, etc.

anybody can give their impressions of the game?

themadman123 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2006, 10:17:00 AM »

Yeah, I only played about one match, but it seems really fun, I think I'll buy it. I think it is worth it.

Smash Brothers but without Mario.

incognegro · « **Reply #10 on:** November 24, 2006, 02:14:00 PM »

how well does it stack up to smash?

gordita37 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 24, 2006, 02:33:00 PM »

smash bros but instead of unique characters with their own moves theres just unique guns. Anyways, I got the six degree of small arms achievment my first round online

Super Smash Brothers..

Not really.

This ones all about shooting. Not as much melee action.

twistedsymphony · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2006, 07:13:00 PM »

It really is nothing like SSB... it's about as similar as DOA is to Mortal Kombat... That is to say they're the same genre but beyond that the games are nothing alike.

Smash Bros is nearly all hand to hand combat SA is nearly all projectile combat.

So if you consider swinging a sword to be about the same as firing a gun then yeah maybe you'd consider them the same thing.

I really enjoy SA so far, the controls are straight forward and easy to pick up, there's no complex maneuvers to learn and the levels are simple enough that even first time players will be comfortable.

I'm mostly excited though because now there's a 4 player game that I can play when I have friends over, none of them have to be very familiar with it, and it's only $10... you can't go wrong.

If it came on a disc with a case and a manual I'd easily pay $20 or $30 for this game based it's local multiplayer merits alone.
