Missing Achievements from the MCC

So I’ve gone through the legacy achievement lists and found that there are quite a lot of achievements that didn’t make it into the MCC from their 360/ GFWL counterpart. for some of these achievements, I cannot understand why they never made their way onto the MCC from their respective games.

There are even more multiplayer achievements for DLC-specific maps, I didn’t include them because well… MCC no longer has VETO so if for some reason a dev saw this list and thought it would be a good idea for them to add them back to their games, I imagine it would be insanely tedious getting them ones. I remember having to boost the Reach dlc achievements because when 343 took over they removed the DLC playlists… ahh… what a different era in video gaming when the population was split over DLC maps.

Here is the list:

HALO CE:A

  • Popcorn.gif - Kill 100 Flood Infection Forms on the level “Keyes” on Heroic difficulty or above.

  • Tsantsa - Complete any level with at least three skulls active on Heroic difficulty or higher.

  • Standard Operating Brocedure - Complete any level on Normal difficulty cooperatively.

  • Brovershield - Complete any level on Heroic difficulty cooperatively.

  • Bro Hammer - Complete any level on Legendary difficulty cooperatively

  • I’ll Be Taking That! - Pilot a Banshee on the level “Assault on the Control Room.”

  • This One’s for Jenkins! - Kill 50 Flood Combat Forms on the level “343 Guilty Spark” on Heroic difficulty or higher

  • Grenadier - Escape the map room in “The Silent Cartographer” without firing a shot on Heroic or Legendary.

HALO 2 VISTA

  • Violent Cartographer - Play every available default map and stay in each game until it’s over

  • Counterpoint - Kill the sword carrier

  • Carjacking - Steal an occupied vehicle from an opponent and take it over

  • Rainman - Play every available game variant, with at least 3 other players, to the end of each game

  • Ninja - In a non-team game, kill 5 people by melee, from behind

  • Flaming Ninja - Kill an opponent that has the Ninja achievement

  • Decorated Soldier - Get awarded at least 8 different medals in one non-team game

HALO 3

  • Two for One - Score a Double Kill with a single spartan laser shot in a ranked free for all playlist (Online).

  • Lee R Wilson Memorial - Score 5 grenade sticks in any ranked free for all playlist (Online).

  • Steppin’ Razor - Score a Triple Kill with the sword in a ranked free for all playlist (Online).

  • Mongoose Mowdown - Splatter an enemy with the mongoose in a ranked free for all playlist (Online).

  • Up Close and Personal - Kill 5 enemies by melee or assassination in a ranked free for all playlist (Online).

  • Maybe Next Time Buddy - Board the same vehicle within 10 seconds after being boarded in any free for all playlist (Online).

HALO 3 ODST

  • VIDMASTER ENDURE - In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.

Some of the legacy achievements were also incorporated into other MCC achievements so I haven’t included them in this list such as double kills & spree medal related etc.

This made it into the game in the form of a challenge. (Before The Exchange was introduced, this was how you acquired the the Bug Splattered Helmetless Buck customization for ODST.)

I know, but it is still a missing achievement from the legacy titles.

Achievements are an aspect of the game that few would consider a legacy requirement. They don’t impact the presentation or gameplay experience, and some of the achievements that were omitted are just god awful like two for one.

The team has no plans to add any further achievements. It’s already a Herculean effort to make sure all of them are unlockable. A lot of the random achievements from previous entries Im fine with their lack of inclusion.

Tedious as they may be, these missing achievements would make for a good avenue to award some SP with each unlock.
