“Achievement Hunter” DLC Playlist Proposal for Halo: Reach, 4v4 - 5v5

Because DLC is a rarity in the remaining player base for Halo: Reach I propose a fun and efficient playlist for all of those remaining who enjoy the DLC maps and/or are trying to complete all the achievements for Reach.

I have come up with some map and gametype combinations I think would work excellently in a platform that both is fun and streamlines the complicated process of obtaining these very niche achievements.

Noble - Defiant - Anniversary

> - Slayer – Tempest
> Cross Mappin’ – Totally Worth It – Both Barrels
> - Stockpile – Tempest
> You Ate All The Chips – Totally Worth It – Both Barrels
> - Rocket Race – Breakpoint
> Offensive Driver
> - Invasion – Breakpoint
> You Blew It Up! – Totally Worth It – Both Barrels- Oddball – Condemned
> Crackin’ Skulls
> - Stockpile – Condemned
> Candy From A Baby
> - Infection – Condemned
> All Alone
> - 1-Flag – Condemned
> Return To Sender – Don’t Touch That! – Paper Beats Rock
> - Slayer – Condemned
> Paper Beats Rock- __ Elite* CTF – Ridgeline__
> Stick It To The Man – From Hells Heart – Dive Bomber – License To Kill – Top Shot
> - Headhunter – Penance
> Bounty Hunter - Dive Bomber – Top Shot
> - Infection – Penance
> Emergency Room – Top Shot
> - Slayer – Battle Canyon
> Dive Bomber – From Hells Heart - Top Shot
> - CTF – Battle Canyon
> Stick It To The Man – From Hells Heart – Dive Bomber – Top Shot
> - Slayer – Ridgeline
> From Hells Heart – Dive Bomber – License To Kill – Top Shot

Breakpoint – Invasion, Rocket Race

Tempest – Slayer, Stockpile

Condemned – Infection, Oddball, Stockpile, Slayer, 1-Flag

Battle Canyon – Slayer, CTF

Penance – Headhunter, Infection

Ridgeline – Slayer, Elite CTF

10/15 Matches with Possibility for Multiple Achievements
15 Possibilities = 5 different voting screens worth of choices

A tight collection of Maps with gametypes that will flourish on them will promote exciting gameplay for those Achievement Hunting or not.

This will cut down on Boosting for Achievements and mass quiting when the prefered maps are not found in default matchmaking.

“Achievement Hunter” will create an enjoyable DLC experience while also allowing new players to complete their game.

I seriously hope that 343 can implement a playlist if not exactly this, something very close to this either post Halo 4 launch or simultaneously released

1 gametype I suggested “Elite CTF - Ridgeline” might look odd, but I believe if you could use elites in that gametype it would present for a wide variety of gameplay options, and a chance for any player to complete 5 out of the 7 Anniversary achievements in 1 match

> Stick It To The Man – Killed the flag carrier with a Plasma Grenade in a matchmade game.
>
> This will be much easier if all players have Plasma’s, currently sticking the flag carrier is much harder to come by, often ending up in allowing the team to take the flag on purpose, or betraying over “Stickies”
>
> From Hells Heart – Killing an enemy player that sticks you with a Plasma Grenade with their own grenade in a matchmade game.
>
> Much easier with Elites
>
> Dive Bomber – performing a Beat Down on an enemy player while using the Jetpack during a matchmade game.
>
> Another opportunity to get this achievement
>
> License To Kill – It is awarded for splattering five people with a Ghost during a matchmade game.
>
> With Elites and Ghosts on Ridgeline provide a much more consistent opportunity to acquire this achievement
>
> Top Shot - 3 headshot kills in a row in a matchmade game.
>
> Needle Rifle starts will greatly increase the chance of this happening.

I just wish Ridgline WOULD JUST ONCE APPEAR IN THE VOTING!! Or atleast get a game of Grifball “Jump Pack” on Heimdall’s Might from what I’ve been told. Nobody ever picks Jump Pack, and I just want to experience it for once, is that too much to ask from people? -_-

Please either go with nillapuddin626’s idea or bring back Squad DLC! ever since you guys removed it I’ve been having the hardest time getting DLC maps in normal matchmaking and nobody ever votes for them if they come up. I need some way to get my last 3 defiant achievements.

Just wish you guys thought it through alittle more before removing all those playlists.

This is a great idea and looks like the playlist suggested here could just by itself be a lot of fun. It has nice variation to it. I hope they implement this.

This needs to happen, 'cause ‘All Alone’ at least is simply impossible to get without purposefully pulling together a party, which really shouldn’t be the case. Especially considering the majority of the party want the achievement, and only 3 have a chance to get it per successful game!

7

This would be like heaven if they added this playlist. I’m having hard time getting the achievements, let alone just playing the dlc maps as well. PUT THIS PLAYLIST IN!

8

So it looks like “Elite CTF” wouldnt be possible to create unless it already existed, which is unfortunate because it would have created an achievement-rich environment to play in on Ridgeline

Well I appreciate the support from those of you who posted, Im unfortunately not very optimistic about any sort of playlist like what I imagined here being implemented though.

Sorry for those of you who havent 100%'d Reach yet, you have a difficult time ahead of you
(in which you will almost assuredly have to boost)

Yeah I’m hoping 343i doesn’t give me no choice but to gather my old Halo 3 squad and boost to get those last 3. I really want to legitimately get the Reach achievements just like with ODST, Halo CEA, and most of Reach.

C’mon 343i, give us 100%'ers some love. :frowning:

10

I’m just so pissed as someone who had 100% completed legitimately before the Anniversary DLC, got Anniversary while diving back into Reach in preparation for 4, and now there’s no way I can get 100% legitimately completed Reach ever again :frowning:
