TL;DR - I like achievements. They helped hook me on Halo again. I’m sure they’ll add more but what kind would you like to see? (And please don’t say Medic.)
I’d like some progressive ones (get X headshots) like in MCC or one for finishing each season.
‐---------------------------------
Ten years ago I got a gift card to Best Buy from work, and I decided to use it towards an Xbox 360. It came with a copy of Fable 3 (which I never touched) and Reach.
I’d played the first three Halo games with friends on their systems and loved them all. I hadn’t owned a console in the achievement/trophy era though I had unlocked tons in profiles on friends’ machines.
My friends had played ODST and HATED it. For years, I had been under this assumption that Halo has garbage. Then I played Reach. The story gutted me but the achievements had me hooked. They’re the reason I ever tried a solo Legendary run.
I bought Halo CEA mainly because it came with Reach DLC, but you could find the terminals with Waypoint codes for credits too.
Waypoint also gave you armor if you had certain cross-game achievements unlocked - and that was it.
I played every game, and tried to unlock every achievement (not so much LASO - just doesn’t seem fun) that year I found out ODST is amazing and that I really love the Halo universe. Next thing you know it’s midnight and I’m waiting outside an EB Games picking up my limited edition copy of Halo 4.
This is a long way of saying that I’d like some more achievements to unlock. I’m sure they’ll add some with campaign expansions and whatnot but what would you like to see added?
I’d like to see something progression based. A new achievement each season for reaching Level 100 would be nice. I liked the progressive ‘get X headshot’ achievements in MCC.
