So I was playing fiesta earlier. And I got a couple achievements.
One of which was to get a Perfect Kill with the Commando Rifle.
The other was just… why is it in the game?
Because I got an achievement for SPECTATING A TEAMMATE WHO WAS DRIVING A HOG OR A RAZORBACK !??
…
…
…
…
… how is this an achievement? Like I know that a lot of the challenges we get in the game are crap that require random chance like “stop 5 killing sprees” but… why is there an achievement for just spectating a teammate while you are waiting to respawn.
Specifically spectating one who is driving a hog???
EDIT - Also it is a Rare Achievement to get a PK with the VK Commando apparrently.
Be grateful for the lazy ones. They are a breath of fresh air from the annoyingly frustrating ones.

But achievements are supposed to be something you work towards and ACHIEVE
Kids games are the ones where achievements are meant to be easy by just getting story progression done.
That or Telltale Games, who made it so by completing the series, you get all 1000 Gamerscore.

These have been xbox achievements in general since the dawn of time
There is blood.
Every time I match up against a PC player or have Desync lag prevent my kills, I grit my teeth to the point that my gums are bleeding as if I went to the dentist.

While I agree that achievements should be something to achieve, this game has like 100+ at launch. I’d hate it if all of them were difficult.
Not everyone has what it takes to knock out LASO, or track down every collectible. So there’s a good varied selection to cater to everyone in the Halo community.
Not all of them need to be difficult. But when I get one for DOING NOTHING, then what is the point of the achievement other than just to say “You have died at least once and managed to spectate a teammate who was going vroom-vroom?”
Devils advocate here:
“You died and successfully changed players you were spectating to find a given criteria.”
No more different that a complete your first game, the like 12 you can unlock from equipping things in the armory, and so forth.
At the end of the day, does it really matter?
Don’t worry you still got the shock rifle, getting people in the razorback, scoring 5 seed in one game, scoring 2 flags in one game achievements. Also getting a kill with the useless commando is a feat on its own, let alone getting a perfect.
Each Xbox title now has to have at least 1000 Gamerscore.
This just feels like filler to reach that number instead of going “Okay, what easter eggs in the campaign need to be found for the Secret Achievements?” or “Be the MVP on your team for 50 matches you were victorious in?”
Congrats on the perfect commando kill, I thought for sure that was impossible. My only hope is an AFK player for that one.
Commando is not useless, you just need to use it when fighting players using the BR in close-mid combat.
That’s how it’s always been unless it was an arcade or mobile title.
They could have just made it 20 achievements worth 50pts each.
Can’t say I would pick it over the AR or the sidekick that I spawn with in that scenario.
