Ok so I’ve been a long time fan of halo since it first came out and I’ve set a goal to get every halo acheivement on console ever. I’m only 53 away but I’ve got one massive problem. The stupid laso achievements. Making the laso achievements a thing was a terrible idea in my eyes. Any acheivement hunter knows that completion takes time but beating halo one laso probably took me 40 plus hours game play and was only possible due to the fact that I actually had a targeting reticule. Honestly I shouldn’t have to put tape and sharpie on my TV just to make something remotely possible. And if anyone still has those laso check points for 2 through 4 I’d gladly take them with no shame. If anyone has any thoughts on this I’d love to hear them.
The only reason it takes so long is 343 decided to add the iron skull in when it didn’t have it previously.
For what it’s worth, the LASO achievements aren’t even the most demanding game achievements I’ve seen. Did you ever play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for the Xbox 360? That game actually has an achievement for reaching the top of the global leaderboard. I kid you not. To complete the achievements for that game, you have to reach the number 1 spot on the worldwide leaderboard. There’s also one for reaching the top of the team leaderboard and yet another achievement for reaching the top of the solo leaderboard. on trueachievements.com, only a little over 100 players have those achievements, compared to the tens of thousands who have other achievements logged for that game.
LASO runs didn’t start until Halo 3 so Halo CE and Halo 2 really weren’t designed for them. Iron should be taken out of both those 2 games. If you look at a lot of posts on this forum you’ll always see Halo CE and Halo 2 as the hardest two game to beat on legendary. In case no one knows what the iron skull is if you die solo you automatically have to restart the level and if you are doing co op and if you or your partner dies regardless if one of you is alive it reverts to the last checkpoint. It’s a dumb skull that has no business in Halo CE or Halo 2. Keep the other ones but drop iron.
I hate also so much, alot of the mcc achievements are stupid
