10 INFURIATING Ways Video Games Stopped You Getting 100%

There are plenty of achievements and trophies out there that are wars of attrition, as previously mentioned, but very few require skill quite like “World Champion” from Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

The name isn’t just for fun, it’s a pretty legitimate description. This next to impossible achievement requires you to be the #1 ranked player in the game.

You might think that now that the title is over 20 years old that this might be easier to obtain than ever but you’d be very, very wrong. When the game first released there were certainly thousands of players competing for that top spot, but everyone was on fairly even footing and the title could pass around fast.

Now, over the years, the most dedicated players have stats that are impossible to punch up against.

What was once considered several months of grinding could now be years of work if you truly want this gold dust of an achievement. Mostly because everyone else who is still playing the decade old game are only doing so for the same reason.

Imagine how it must feel now if you were the first player online with GRAW and were able to grab this award without even trying, knowing that players have wasted months of their lives in pursuit of it since.
