I’ve been playing the new maps and I love them. One thing I feel I must voice my opinion on are the damn achievements. Now, most of them are fine, but getting a pulse grenade double kill? I understand it’s supposed to be hard but I think whoever made the achievement doesn’t understand how hard it really is. It’s beyond rare and it’s almost on the same frustration level as ‘Now They Fly?’, if not worse.
Whoever makes the achievements should realise that getting a kill while airborne in a warthog or getting a pulse double is beyond ridiculous. I would have zero complaints about this sort of thing if they just made it so we could get them on any map from any playlist, as long as we bought the dlc.
The achievements seriously ruin the playlists for me. FFA and Team Majestic are full of kids all using camo and PV and spamming pulse grenades right before they die. I never even get a chance to play Rumble Pro because of people wanting their loadouts so they can get the achievements.
Speaking of Rumble Pro, why in the world is there no radar? How can you have an FFA mode with NO RADAR?
Honestly, it might sound totally against my complaint, but I could only wish that the new xbox will no longer have achievements. They are a nice addition but theres so many people (myself included at times) that let it get way out of control and start thinking about achievements before the actual game itself.
Need more people playing for fun I just wish when there is achievements that they could at least be not so frustrating.

Why am I not surprised that something as simple as a radar is messed up by 343
If they just leave the achievements out of MM then there is no issue. Unfortunately there are enough people out there that actually care about achievements that putting them into the DLC will boost DLC sales so I don’t see them going away anytime soon.

I agree completely.
My eye is twitching at the thought of achievements. Must… have… 100% completion!
Achievements in MM should not be hard because people will boost, or even worse, just work for that achievement reguardless of KD, winning, etc. Achievements should just be win on this map, win on FFA, get 10 kills on this map, etc.
I boost online achievements with other people just so I wont ruin other people’s gameplay. Im not about to run around spamming pulse grenades only to constantly die and let my team down.

Yeah. I feel like they thought achievements were a fun idea at first. Now they are using them to target people with type A personalities. I am a completionist because I cannot help it.
I actually got the Pulse Grenade achievement pretty easy.
Just save your grenades; wait for the ideal oppurtunity. I did it by ambushing two guys that were in the middle of a melee battle; they knocked out each others shields, and I threw a pulse grenade in between them. bleep-bloop!
Just keep an eye out and don’t spam your Pulse Grenades, or you’ll never get anywhere.
Achievements are going to stay. As much as I hate it they will stay because it’s a selling point in a way. Some people only buy certain games for achievements (Avatar) and it extends the life of the game. Which is nice when the achievements are fun but not like Seriously 3.0 crap.

I don’t think I have ever got every achievement in a single game. I just don’t care about them as they give no benefit whatsoever. If people want to boost for them then have fun.
yeah i though many people would have problems with the pulse grenade achievement but i got it in one of my first games (by luck of course). a good strategy is to play KOTH when you can or FFA and wait for two people to go head to head then throw one at them
