Yeah, I'll agree with that. If I have to go way out of my way to get them they can get annoying, but if it's something I can do along the way (say, get 4 headshots in a row or knife 3 people in a row) then I'm all for it. Or even a "get through the game using only X weapon" it'll add a challenge, but as you said, "find all the flags" etc is a waste of time, especially since there's like 500 of 'em. Same with the "get 10,000 kills" achievements.
Gears kinda hacked me off in that respect, 99.5% of the time I'm doing non-ranked matches, I promise you I've got enough kills to get every weapons-based achievement yet they're all in player matches and I had no desire whatsoever to play ranked.
