No, you cheat yourself. Ask just about anyone who has done it the right way, and they will tell you that they actually got a sense of accomplishment each and everytime they got an achievement.

Not me... I grinded through the achievements in order to get the unlocks. Achievements are for the more obsessive people out there and I just can't be bothered with it myself, at least most of the time. Certainly I feel it was a mistake to tie unlocks to achievements, as that only contributed to non-team orientated play - players are free to do that anyway, that's what I like about the game, but the unlocks actually encouraged it.
