Potentially Discontinued ODST 360 Achievements

Looking at the shutdown of legacy Halo servers at the end of the year, will the ODST achievements that say “LIVE” (aka the 3 Vidmasters) be impossible to get once they’re down?

  • Vidmaster Challenge: Classic
    Finished any level solo on Legendary, on LIVE, with no shots fired or grenades thrown. - Vidmaster Challenge: Déjà Vu
    Complete Highway on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and no 'Hog or Scorpion. - Vidmaster Challenge: Endure
    In Firefight, on any mission, pass the 4th Set on 4-player Heroic LIVE co-op.The table showing which parts of each game will be affected lists all “Online Squads” as still functional, so I imagine 4 player online lobbies for campaign/firefight are still functional through peer-to-peer or something but do these achievements trigger with a specific connection to the legacy Halo servers or just general XBL servers?

I’m away from my consoles until Jan next year so I’m in a bit of trouble if the last two of those become unobtainable lol

I guess it’s hard to tell based on the graphic. I didn’t realize there was matchmaking in ODST but I think if you’re just teaming up in non-splitscreen private lobby you should be able to get them.

I don’t believe any of the ODST LIVE achievements will be unobtainable post shutdown judging from the infographic that online squads will still be possible and that the game doesn’t have any form of matchmaking.

My take on this is that both Endure and Déjà Vu will still be obtainable post-shutdown until Microsoft shuts down the 360’s LIVE servers. I’ll stand on that until 343i confirms the achievements are tied to the game’s server if it has one that is.

yes I think that these successes will not be accessible after the closing of the servers.

Vidmaster Endure will probably be the one most people miss out on. Props to those that are able to get it in time.
