Halo 4 is coming out in about a month now. That means that Halo Reach’s population is going to dwindle. That means that getting those last few DLC achievements are going to be that much harder to get. So please, just make a small update that allows the achievements to be attained on any map. Not alot of people are going to continue to play Reach after Halo 4 comes out, and even less are actually going to buy the DLC for a 2 year old game when the newest installment is out.
Wouldn’t that devalue the achievement?

There is little to no value in it to begin with, when I see someone has it, I consider them lucky for finding the maps, because they’re so rare, or they boosted it.

No thanks, their are a lot of people on the forums complaining about the difficulty and luck involoved in getting the achievements but changing the requirements would just be a big middlefinger to the people that searched long and hard to get the right map, gametype, and accomplishment. (Like Me :/)

I thought they already flipped us off when they got rid of the DLC playlists, making it next to immpossible to actually get to play on the maps we payed good money for. But, I guess that’s their thought process. “Well, we already have their money, so lets just remove the DLC playlists.”
Strangely enough I got a DLC achievement for blowing up a vehicle with Armour Lock despite me being on regular Team Slayer on Countdown. All I did was use AL to avoid a load of frags in the lifts and I got a double kill somehow and then achievement unlocked.
Not that I’m complaining about it…

I believe it just bases it off the amount of damage you’ve absorbed in Armour Lock, and if it is extremely high, you’ll unlock it.
I got it myself from not blowing up a vehicle too.
What they need to do is make the DLC free. People are going to stop playing Reach because of 4, so the people that stay on Reach should get a little incentive to stay and play Reach rather than some other game.

If anything, making the DLC free would encourage people to stay on Reach and play said DLC and not buy their new game.
why cant they just add the dlc playlist back, if enough ppl want they would add it back, right? i just want to 100% reach like i did the rest of bungie’s games…

These forums don’t represent a large amount of the halo players.
It may seem like a lot of people on here want it back, but in reality, there is nowhere near enough people wanting it back to actually consider it.
At peak times, Squad DLC had 200-300 players, at low times, it had 30-60 players.
Squad DLC was on probation since it was announced back in January to be returning, people didn’t play it enough so it was removed.
that sucks, thanks for the info. but i kinda feel like i wasted time/money.

I must be a lucky man then! Because I have them all. lol
Idle controller boosting and full party boosting to guarantee a certain map already makes achievements worthless. I say unlock them so people can get reach out of the way before halo 4 comes out. I’m sure 343 wants everyone to put reach aside and focus on the new game instead so what better way than to make achievements easier to get!
I agree that 343I needs to do something to fix this, so either unlock achievements on all maps or bring back DLC playlists for a month or two.
Yes. This is one of those times i wish Squad DLC should come back. Im going through hell trying to find Condemned Map in Living Dead. That goes for the other achievements.
Agreed, I think they should either unrestrict them, or update some of the current playlists to DLC-necessary when they do the next update.
Also, I like turtles.
