I know the point of Achievements are for them to be a challenge but this Achievement is just borderline unobtainable at this point. You have to get 100 environmental kills in Halo 2 anniversary matchmaking, so many things about this achievement makes it almost impossible to get
-First off this can only be done in Halo 2 anniversary multiplayer
-Secondly it has to be in matchmaking
-Third an Environmen kill is when you kill someone with either a fusion core or stalagmite. So basically the only map this can really be done on is lockdown since it has the stalagmites and a good amount of fusion core the only other maps in Anniversary that even have fusion cores are Remnant and Stonetown. Then to top that all off most people have played enough now that they are smart enough to either look for and shot down the stalagmites or avoid them you almost never get people with those so your best chance is getting lucky with a fusion core. All that combined and the fact that you have to hope you get one of those maps makes this achievement basically impossible especially considering the requirement of 100.
343 recently went in and made a lot of the achievements for multiplayer a lot more obtainable lowering requirements but for whatever reason did not touch this one.
I ask that they make it so this can either be obtained in custom games or reduce the requirement substantially. If you have to do these in matchmaking the requirement should be 10, 15 or 20 environmental kills, 25 at most.
As someone who is going through and trying to 100% the collection its little things like this achievement that are just so incredibly ridiculous to me id be spending more time on this than a laso achievement and i don’t want to be one of those A holes who leaves games until i get a map that i can get this on so please 343 do somthing about this.
Which achievements have had their requirements changed? As far as I’m aware, none of the requirements have changed.
As for your idea, it’s definitely grindy, but not impossible by any means. I don’t think it’s fair to change the requirements now since there are a lot of players who have worked to unlock it.
Literally less than 0.5 percent of people have earned the achievement and honestly nobody would care about requirements getting lowered for the better and it is pretty impossible as i said there’s only 1 map to really get it on and even on that map most people know not to get cought by the stalagmites. As for the achievements the patch notes and on the waypoint update when the big update for Mcc came out said and i quote
Various Achievement unlock condition improvements - Ninja Redux Achievement can now be earned during FFA games - Guerilla Achievement unlock conditions improved - King of Crows Achievement unlock conditions improved - WhoNeeds Them? Achievement unlock conditions improvedSo i really don’t see why this achievement can’t be reduced or just be made to unlock in customs its such a waste of time this literally has taken me longer than laso and im still far off.
I guess you can say it’s not literally impossible sure but it is by all realistic circumstances and odds impossible because even if you quit games and do nothing but keep retarting trying to get lockdown so you can try to make progress to this Achievement you won’t unless its all you do for days on end.
I play multiple times a day i get lockdown atleast 5 or 6 times when im playing and im lucky to walk away with 1 environmental kill from all those games and IM TRYING hard literally sacrificing KD and all that because im trying to just kill people with the environmental objects.
It needs to be lowered or obtainable in customs. Id even settle for a action sack playlist in H2A where theres a custom map with a ton of stalagmites or something but right now that does not exist and the only real option to obtain is getting lockdown in Halo 2 anniversary and pray you can get a core or stalagmite kill and that is just ridiculous.
Yes 343 can anything be done about this achievement in an update soon? I left some feedback on the October update about this and really the realistic circumstances of getting this in matchmaking ATM are almost impossible with the types of Hardcore players playing on these maps. I hope the Match composer system could fix this somewhat by choosing Halo 2 anniversary only and getting less Hardcore people playing since this is a social playlist system (because in the H2A Arena playlist, their are alot of hardcore people obviously playing in this and that they know these maps more inside and out since its Ranked, which really makes it less fun when the achievement is mostly possible only on this playlist unfortunately). The other playlists like in BTB are more or less possible but on Stonetown which is kind of possible but not really Remnant. Please include more Map variants (include the Canva map with map variants on those!) with more environmental explosives or any other kind of environmental based killing objects on more or existing maps. Warlock could absolutely include some fusion coils in my opinion, same with Shrine. It shouldn’t be the luck of the lottery to get kills with these kind of achievements!
Luckily the H2A Splatter Achievement is actually more possible than before the September update (since your forced to play whatever map is chosen) now in BTB if you can get the H2A Bloodline or Stonetown maps (Remnant not so much) to come up so its not as much of an issue I have found. Alot of players are on the ground areas now and you can get lots of kills more easily.
Just a heads up right now the Infection playlist is up and if you are lucky one of the maps you can roll is H2A lockdown and since its zombies makes it even easier to get kills with Fusion Coils(Zombies are weak and have no shields). Iv been spamming the hell out of infection, got lockdown 3 times so far and have gotten about 10 environmental kills each game that alone has more than tripled my previous total amount (9), im up to 40 now. I am hoping to ride this out while infection playlist is up and cleanup this unrealistic achievement for good while this rare opportunity is presenting itself. I would recommend anymore who wants this achievement or plans on ever trying to 100% Mcc do the same now. Infection is up until at least Nov.1.
