Why do you get more points for normal than legendary...

I hope that the achievement system is similar to that of Gears of War, where if you beat the game on the highest difficulty, you gain the achievements of beating lesser difficulties as well.

Agreed. The weapon kills should be like 25 kills with them, not one.

I'm tending not to think that these are real. They are too easy and the points don't make sense (100 for Normal but 50 for Heroic and Legendary?).

What it is.

Some of those achievements don't seem right, but most of them do. As Master Kim said, i hope that you can beat it on a higher difficulty level and get the lower achievements as well. Less then a month away and I'm getting excited.

Get an achievement for whacking a person in the back? Please, people shouldn't be rewarded for playing games, they should be rewarded for being good at them.

Seriously that is very retarded, lets give them a medal for beating a game on easy but not for a headshot.

They don't have an achievement for beating the game on Easy.

King of the Scarab (20 GS) - Acquire the Scarab gun on the Metropolis level, any difficulty
What the hell is this? I don't think getting the Scarab Gun, which wasn't even meant to be discovered by players (now ruined since people know that there is a Scarab Gun in Metropolis when they see this achievement description), is an appropriate goal.

What the hell is that? I don't find this an appropriate goal for an achievement.

I ment normal, and you've never heard of the scarab gun? It is a plasma rifle that shoots scarab blasts, and in co-op on xbox theres a way to get two.

I know what the Scarab Gun is. It's just that a bunch of other people don't. When I said, "What the hell is that?" I meant that what kind of person would be able to find the Scarab Gun all by themselves without having the answer spoiled for them from reading the achievement detail or going online.

It's a crappy achievement, is what I'm saying. What about all the PC gamers who haven't played Halo 2 (extensively)? It's amazing people found it out by themselves on the Xbox version in the first place. Plus, the fact that people will know that there is a "Scarab Gun" of sorts in Metropolis by reading the achievement is pretty much bullcrap.

I mean, imagine someone reading the achievement, they'd assume it meant something like taking down the Scarab itself in Metropolis, hence "King of the Scarab." But no, instead it means you had to pick up some unknown weapon that wasn't even meant to be used by players in the first place. I bet there are going to be a thousand players looking all over the Scarab at the end of the level trying to find the "Scarab gun" when it's actually in some obscure location far, far away that can only be pulled off by investing an exorbitant amount of time and patience.... ugh.

I agree the achivement is pretty crappy, and yes people might think that, but taking down the scarab is part of the level anyways.

It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

Great list. It will keep me busy for sure.

Also the Scarab Gun Achievement is pretty damn cool. Talk about making your work for that one. I honestly don't see myself getting that achievement. That is how hard it will be for me.

Still damn cool though.

Lol, I can see some humorus situations when trying to get the Skewer Stopper achievement.

You: KILL THE SWORD CARRIER! KILL THE SWORD CARRIER!
Sniper buddy: Yeah, yeah, hold on. He just has to kill three more of you guys until he gets a killing spree.
All: -blam!- YOU!!

That list is absolutely terrible....If that's real, I really don't believe it.

If Halo 3 has similar achievements, color me extremely disappointed.

  • 04.09.2007 12:08 AM PDT

Let there be CHAOS!

Don't you need two players to get the Scarab Gun?...

Unless H2V secretly has Co-op....

Think about it, everyone would use an aimbot and seriously rack up those achievements. So it's not a good idea.

Nope. You can get the Scarab gun by yourself. It takes a ton of work to get though. There are videos out there showing how to get it.
