I feel I am never going to get the regen field and the hardlight achievements.
AWWW YEAH! Regen field achievement! I love using regen field to save my friends :3
I might never get the “Sight Seeing” achievement because of Exile and Ragnarok.
Thanks, I hadn’t seen those.
The only tricky one appears to be the assassinate a hardlight shield user one.
I really found it hard to assassinate someone zooming in on the Majestic map as well because it’s down to chance and getting lucky finding someone doing it in Matchmaking.
The others seem good 
They seem interesting and challenging. Something worth calling achievements.
I still have yet to complete Crimson’s, let alone Majestic. 
I feel they’re much better and realistic than the Crimson/Majestic cheevos. I hate luck-based achievements. Getting two players with one pulse grenade is pure luck. Stomping on 20 people with a mantis without getting utterly obliterated by plasma pistols and plasma grenades is luck. Not saying people who got em don’t deserve it, but hell, you gotta admit it’s ridiculous.
While some of them may seem better, there are still a lot you could easily get though.
Run 5 people over? Disable a vehicle then hijack it? Come on, it’s only an achievement if you work hard for it. I think tons of players will get the vehicle oriented ones easily. That’s just my opinion though.
Nice to see achievements related to armor abilities though.

You do realize that there will be a Castle Map Pack playlist right? You won’t have to play the other maps.
I havent gotten any Crimson achievements yet. Basically because they never show up in the voting when I play big team slayer. I am going to need a pack of 15 people with the maps to play with me so maybe I will be able to play on those maps for the first time and try to get the achievements while playing with them. Never boosting of course. If somebody boosts is because they are so bad.

Why not just play the Castle DLC playlist when it’s released?

Never said I wanst going to. Just that I want the Crimson achievements too…
I feel like quoting harbinger when doing that hard-light assassination “I know this hurts you”
They don’t seem too bad. The HLS one will require some luck, but everything else shouldn’t be that hard. The Splaser one will suck for me, though. I’m terrible with that thing!
Damn, I wanted simple ones so I wouldn’t have to play this game anymore than I needed to.
The new achievements are stupid in my opinion because there is nothing in those achievements that indicate BTB Objective.

Aim at the ground, a rock, tree, base, or any cover right next to you so the laser doesn’t alert your target until the last second. It’s the easiest way to get direct kills with the thing.
Looking forward to some interesting vehicular combat in Castle. Hope the maps deliver this well.

Thanks! I’ll have to try that out.
I like the new achievements. Majestic’s were too easy. got them by the end of day 2 of it’s release. Crimson’s weren’t bad, but very glitchy. Not sure why people are complaining about the Mantis Stomp achievement. Just takes time, not really luck based.
The Castle achievement I am looking forward too most is Ashes to Ashes. Love the Forerunner weapons’ effects. Especially the disintegration effect. That Won’t Save You will be hard though. Not really sneaky. Also, thought the Dodge This! achievement was going to be another 2 for 1 achievement. That would have been fun.
Also, anyone notice that they said there are 10 achievements, but they only describe 9? How bad would it suck if they hide some ridiculously hard achievement from us. Like get a Perfection and an Extermination in the same game, or something like that. Realize it is just a typo, but still. That would have been a good April Fool’s Day joke.
who uses hardlight!?
