50 New Achievements Added at Launch

Thoughts on this?

I personally find it absolutely ridiculous. I love Halo’s MP, of course, but some of these online achievements are just plain annoying.

Oh god…these are gonna be painful.

I love how some are named after, in a way, after the more popular Halo speedrunners. I’d be really excited to get one of them, if I could beat the game in that amount of time, of course!

I dont get two of the Halo 3 ones:

Man on the Moon: Halo 3: He’s watching you.

5 GS

Hippo Hero: Halo 3: Who DARED to discard this brave animal?

5 GS

More? Oh my goodness…

The first one refers to an Easter Egg on Standoff, I think so.

Some of these achievement will be hard to get but you’re not gonna get some of these deliberately, you’ll have to let them come naturally. Getting them with out thinking about it.

450 achievements…this will take like 3 years lol

Well I know what im doing till halo 5 comes out.

I dont like multiplayer achievements but well…

“Bite the Hand” … how?

“Monopolized” … nope.

Halo 4 doesn’t have any multiplayer achievements?

More achievements equals more awesome!

Great…they really had to throw those multiplayer achievements in there, didn’t they? -_-

“Bite the Hand” - I remember a very very similar achievement in Dino D-Day. Same name, same description, same requirements. I’m betting it doesn’t have a velociraptor on its medal though. Probably a Flood Spore or something.

“Red vs Blue” - Aaaah more RvB references. Good times. :slight_smile: (though I remember someone raising some complaints about hating all the RvB references in Halo. Too bad for him then!)

“Monopolized” - Ummm nope. Not ever gonna happen here!

“You’re Joking” - Sounds like my reaction when I read the requirements!

Interesting list, not sure why Halo 4’s MP didn’t have any achievements, but I suppose it might have been somewhat related to the ill-fated 360 H4 DLC achievements? Possible, but maybe they just haven’t announced them yet.

> “Bite the Hand” … how?

Think of it like Infection. One person manages to get it, then it slowly begins spreading. :slight_smile:
Just have to get lucky I guess.

They are all terrible. The ones for completing each game in under 3 hours? That is stupid. I hate the idea of speed running and this is forcing me to do it. In order to do those you are going to have to break the game.

That’s how you’ll get bite the hand. On nov 17 343 will be in MM, it will start as one team killing them, so then there are 8, then they split, and then suddenly there is thousands of people with the achievement.

Um “Monopolized” sounds really hard. I’m assuming that Halo 2 classic and anniversary use the last version of Halo 2 with all the updates. That would mean no sword flying or super bouncing. I guess that means you would have to run the game on easy and just run pasted or kill enemies really quickly with the scarab skull.

Whatever, I will take them of Halo 3’s multiplayer achievements any day.
