I’m sure I’m not the only one who is having a ridiculously hard time getting the Castle DLC achievements, so I will be hosting a game night with the whoever wants to play. We will be playing the new Team DLC playlist and will need a party of 8 (4 players on each team so we can help one another get the achievements). The reason we will be playing the Team DLC playlist is because it offers Daybreak as an option, and Daybreak has everything we would need for the achievements. I considered doing Big Team Slayer since it offers more Castle maps, but the large team sizes would be hard to fill and even harder to maintain a fun and helpful gaming atmosphere. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A BOOSTING LOBBY. IF YOU START TRYING JUST SIT BACK AND BOOST YOUR K/D WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS HELPING EACH OTHER WITH ACHIEVEMENTS YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE PARTY AND LOBBY. The play date will begin January 22, 2014 at 8 p.m. central time. Anyone interested in playing send a message to me on Xbox Live, my gamer tag is CharizardIsGod. The first 7 people to send messages will get guaranteed invites. Everyone else may get a chance to play later if we still have enough people who would be willing to help extra players get the achievements.
While I’m on the topic I would like to say (with the hopes of an admin seeing this) that I think it would be great to find a better way to make DLC-only achievements more accessible. The addition of a Team DLC playlist is great, but it only boasts one map from the Castle map pack. I know a lot of people are still missing these achievements and with as many great large-scale maps as Halo 4 has its really difficult to come by any of these maps in the Big Team playlist. I think that offering a Big Team playlist that requires DLC would open up a lot more gameplay opportunities for gamers such as myself who bought the DLC, but never really got the chance to spend much time in it.
That being said, again, message CharizardIsGod on Xbox Live to play together and get some achievements on January 22 2014 at 8p.m. central time. Thanks everyone and I look forward to seeing you on the virtual battlefield!

Nah, that’s actually pretty much the definition of boosting.
I personally couldn’t care less if people boost for achievements since achievements are 100% completely meaningless and a party of 8 doing this isn’t hurting anybody. But don’t pretend it’s not boosting.
My idea of boosting is manipulating the situation to jack up your personal statistics in-game or racking in specific kills for the sake of commendations or something along those lines. I suppose it is technically achievement boosting, but there isn’t any practical way to get these achievements given the current state of the playlists matchmaking.

Replace commendation with achievement and you see there’s no difference.

Seeing as I still need three achievos in Castle to have all the Achievos in Halo 4 I’m up for it. I’m actually worried I won’t be able to get the spartan laser achievo.
Ive done everything to get the achievements ashes to ashes and regen 5 team mates and they will not unlock. good luck
