Eh, am I the only one who honestly believes they’re a little too easy?
I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’m more than happy at the loss of ridiculous MP matchmaking achievements such as Two For One, however it’s like I’m not going to be putting any extensive time in to grabbing them all. I mean, there could be at least a few MP achievements.
Some of them seem a bit annoying, like defending the AI through an entire mission in campaign and such. But, none of them really seem like there’s going to be a lot of work put in to them for any veteran player.
Anyone else have any issues with the achievements? I know it’s more than likely too late to change them at this point, but maybe they could add a challenge with DLC later?
Or, I could be making a big deal of nothing. Regardless, these are my concerns.

> The number of levels in the game (as revealed via Achievement listings) has no particular bearing on the length of the Campaign – and our levels are split thematically and for reasons of fiction as much as they are by location or “map.” There are a couple of instances in the game where a “level” actually comprises different environments and radically different play styles that might otherwise have been split into different levels. In terms of length of Campaign, it’s similar to most other Halo games and the number of hours to complete will depend on difficulty level, number of players and play style, just like before. Some folks will rock as many vehicles as they can and try to blast through as fast as they can, while others will stare at every rock, blade of grass or hidden corner and take weeks to get through a level.

I somewhat agree, but as I said they seem a little easy. We’ll have to wait and see, of course.

Well, shoot. This may be the shortest achievement hunting in a Halo game that i’ve ever had. This may also be the first time that I actually complete all of the achievements for a Halo game pre DLC.

This and the more challanging achievments atleast for War Games usually come with the dlc. Also if all Spartan Ops arent on the disc when we get H4 we could get more achievments.
The other Halos had extremely easy achievements too, stuff like picking up a health pack or swapping weapons with allies.
If it really matters that much, make up your own achievements or get a friend to do it for you. This is partly the reason why Custom Challenges were created…
> Not to be “that guy” but achievements don’t matter to me.
For the most part…
Though for Reach I do wish the playlists were structured so that getting the DLC achievements was a bit easier.
… They’d be nice to not be nearly boost-specific either.
My style doesn’t allow for you to stick me without me ever giving you any damage before giving the hug-of-death.
The MP specific ones no matter what just seem to scream “boost me.” At least if there is “boosting” to be had, it’s not happening in MP for achievements (at least not yet, wait till the DLC’s).
