So going forward, whenever you institute a DLC map pack or something, and it adds achievements, can you figure out some other way for them to obtainable other than “In X DLC, perform Y.”? Ya know, maybe just make them obtainable on any map?
I very much dislike not being able to play on the content I payed for 99% of the time. And when they do come up outside of DLC only playlists, it’s very often either not voted for, or doesn’t show up enough, or not at all considering it seems like most people just don’t buy them or something.
Possible solutions? Go.
What’s the point of having DLC achievements if they’re not for the maps on the DLC?
Having said that, Gears or War (in particular 2 & 3) had a combination of achievements that had to be completed on a map in the pack, and achievements that were introduced in the DLC but could be obtained by playing other maps.
as someone who got all the halo reach and 4 achievements including dlc i agree completely with the op. the problem is that the dlc maps dont come up often enough in certain playlists to make them feasible. so it boils down to blind luck, and a slim chance at that. see: all alone achievement from reach. it required you to do something difficult on a specific dlc map in a specific game type, so the only way to do it was by praying that you would end up in a party who all had the dlc, and that they would vote that map through, both of which were rare. then after all that you gotta be lucky enough (or skilled enough at an somewhat niche gametype) to pull it off. i dont think anything was quite that bad in halo 4 but they’re were some that were close.
tldr, dlc achievements cant be map restricted, its not and will never be a good thing.
Can we also have them not require us to have an event that happens once in a blue moon to squire an achievement?

Kill 2 enemies with a pulse grenade.
Kill an enemy with their own plasma grenade stuck to you.
Yea,I see your point. There’s a line between achievement and errand from hell.

yea basically there luck based. then restrict them to the dlc maps and…yeah. i honestly have no idea what substances are being abused when they make some of these achievements. the normal game ones are fine imo if maybe a bit easy but better easy then total once in a blue moon luck based.
