The mission specific achievements don’t really seem special, i was expecting much bigger spoilers, like in Mission 8 kill the Didact, or something, but no it’s kill 3 crawlers with the Grav Hammer, I’m starting to wonder if there is as many surprises as we thought there was gonna be. Although maybe they purposely didn’t want to give away story ruining spoilers. The story is slowly starting to look bland, we were told chief would be challenged and tested to his limits, against new enemies, but the achievements suggest all he is fighting is broken down covies.
Opinions?
I think the game itself is going to be visually stunning. These achievements do seem kind of bland, but many of the achievements in CEA sounded bland too, but required a little patience. At the same time, we really do not know the circumstances of unlocking the achievement. The warthog jump achievement could require us to find a “special” ramp, or jump. I don’t think 343 would put it right in front of us. That would mean we have a decent area to explore in each level. I guess we will have to wait and see.
They probably did it for the sake of spoilers. I mean it would be a pretty big spoiler if it was “In Mission 8, kill the didact.”
Well Reach did this too. “In Mission 2, never set foot in a vehicle” or something to that effect. It’d be a pretty big spoiler for people who like to read up on the achievements as they’re installing the game, so they wouldn’t like to read “In Mission 8, kill the Ancient Evil” Otherwise that’s the ending ruined.

It just kinda suggests that the Prometheans wont be as big of a threat as we’re told, it seems like we will be fighting the covenant again throughout the whole story, i was expecting some big spoilers, for example
In mission ( ) find the source of the Promethean threat
In mission ( ) discover the true reason behind the Covenants return
In mission ( ) Reunite with an old friend
In mission ( ) discover the secrets of requiem’s existence
E.c.t
Less info in the achievements the better.

this, they are trying to spoil as little as possible.
do you think they are that dumb and put part of the story in the achievements? you have to realize that the story is going to be under wraps until the game comes out(actually the story will come out on YouTube a week prior ). Sorry if they were smart and not hand you the story.Lastly don’t make an assumption that the game is going to be “bland” until you have played it for yourself…
