Didn’t see any other threads about this.
What does everyone think? To me they sound fairly good, only slightly booster-baity, and they all sound doable on Ragnarok…
Hopefully you can get the achievements on any map; not just the crimson maps.
Oh yeah, I hope so too.
It’d also be nice if it instantly awarded you with ones you already match the criteria for. I use machine gun turrets quite a lot so it’d be sweet to earn “Size does matter” right off the bat.
Theres quite a few related to being airborne. They better be able to be unlocked anywhere, not just the Crimson maps, and hopefully unlock right off the bat because some of them I have done. Atleast it’s not like Reach where you have to be lucky you have the right conditions, especially with the AA ones in the Anniversary Reach achievements after certain playlists were removed. But I like them so far.
I noticed they didn’t specify that these must be done in matchmaking or even multiplayer. So maybe these can be done in campaign, Spartan Ops, or even custom games?
wow, some of those are farfetched “Lucky kill” based achievements, that sucks!
Thanks for the link OP, must’ve looked over it.
I have no problems boarding Mantis’s. Or blowing them up. Having an achievement for either of those things is good news to me.
Man Cannon kills sound tricky

I know I hate luck based achievements.
I severely dislike Multiplayer achievements where you have to perform a specific task on a specific location. If this ends up like the Defiant/Anniversary achievements, I’ll probably never 100% this game.
There we go… it’s like ‘Mongoose mowdown’ and ‘two for one’ all over again…
For the first one I’m counting on it not having to be on a Crimson map (gauss hog)
Pretty disappointed by them. Just a few random “challenges” that will be setup.
Eh, what do you expect? Multiplayer maps are going to have multiplayer achievements.
I still have to mop up the last of my anniversary map pack achievements, guess now is as good a time as any.
They’re not that bad. The ones such as getting an airborne Warthog kill will be nothing but luck, though. That melee one while landing from a man cannon is going to be stupid, too.
Well now I have too get more halo 4 achievements so I can get them all but they look pretty good, although some of them seem very luck based I like the challenge.
There is nothing that says these have to be done in multiplayer or matchmaking.
I would much prefer a “get to level 50” or 60 achievement than this stuff.
I’m wondering why the achievements are so focused on man cannons.

Hell, I’ll never forget getting my ‘two fer one’. Lonewolves… Construct… + a heck of a lot of pure luck.
think they like man cannons much?..
Bad list, IMO.
-No indication if you have to get these on the new maps or even in matchmaking. Campaign, Spartan Ops, and Custom Games may all work.
-If you do have to get these in matchmaking then these will be pretty tough and it will mess up MP while people try to boost these during live games.
-If you don’t have to get these in matchmaking then it will be quite easy to boost which is also pretty lame.
-Why not have an achievement for leveling up more? Say level 50 or getting a specialization at level 60?
