Which level is best to get the mountaineer badge

Question

I'm trying to get all the badges on Mirror's Edge for iPhone and the only one I'm missing is the mountaineer one (climb 1,000 meters)

I was thinking that level 5-2 (“Underground”) could be a good fit to get it, but I can't seem to find a couple of pipes close and long enough to do the climbing.

Is there a better level to achieve the mountaineer badge? (maybe some of the ones with elevator holes).

Answer

Ok, I had a hunch with 3-2 (“Jailbreak”) and got the badge just by climbing from the “Scruffy was here” graffiti to the top of that elevator hole.

But as I've climbed that part a couple of times before and didn't get the badge, it hit me then that the distance for the badge was accumulative. (just like other similar badges like running 10km, ziplining 1km, falling 1km, etc… Doh!).

So just for curiosity's sake, I went back to 5-2 and found the perfect place on the 3rd or 4th water pump:

As you can see on the 2nd image, there's a gap at the top, between the upper platform and the pipe, then at the bottom there's a ramp you can fall safely without getting any damage (3rd image), so you can climb and fall as you please until you get the badge.

Can the Test of Faith achievement in Mirror's Edge be done piecemeal?

Question

Test of Faith is the achievement for completing the game without shooting anybody.

I completed the game and was careful not to shoot anyone, but did not get the achievement. So I was wondering if I could go back and play a chapter where I might have shot someone and still get the achievement?

Additional Info

The only time I fired a gun aside from the time that you have to shoot the caravan, was when I was fighting two guys at once, disarmed the first one and went to attack the other one in melee but my attempt to drop the weapon I took from the first one didn't work, so I ended up shooting him. I then let him kill me (the shot didn't kill him) so I hoped it wouldn't save that.

So I was hoping I could go back and just replay that chapter and get the achievement... but that didn't work either.

So basically I think the answer to my question is no, you have to play straight through it without ever shooting anybody, but I thought I'd put it out there and see if anybody knows any different.

Answer

I believe you need to play through the entire game without shooting anyone to gain this achievement. If you mess up, you can reload your last checkpoint and go again but if you've passed another checkpoint since, you'll need to restart.

If you want to check as you go along, you can press the "Back" button and in the top-right of the screen it should say: "So far, you have not fired a shot at anyone". If you think you may have shot someone, hit the "Back" button and check this. If it's gone, you need to reload your last checkpoint. If it's there, you're good.

The bit with the convoy doesn't count as a shot and you can actually shoot guns in the game (at servers etc), as long as you don't shoot at anyone.

Does Mirror's Edge run on Windows 7 Home Professional 64-Bit?

Question

I was considering buying Mirror's Edge from Direct2Drive when it was on sale, but then noticed this at the bottom of the page:

Known Issues Windows 7 is not supported

Has anyone had any trouble running Mirror's Edge on Windows 7 Home Professional 64-bit? If so, what steps did you take to resolve the issue? I don't want to buy the game if it won't run on my machine.

Answer

As i remember i played it on Windows 7 64 bits without any problem. Strange notice. However google and some boards are saying it's physX related and ATI for the ones having issues running it.
