"Kill 7 opponents from behind in a row without being spotted, any level, any difficulty."

Any tips on how and where to get this achievement?

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Yeah, use the search button.

I did. There are only two posts that are remotely close to a solution, and they turned out to be flukes/"accidents".

Didn't look very hard did you?

That was one of the two that I mentioned. There are 2 grunts facing forward (therefore they don't count toward the achievement) and 2 jackals facing sideways. When I killed those 2 jackals, 2 more came. After I killed those 2, the ride ended and no more jackals spawned.

The person who got the achievement this way had to be a really good and fast sniper. His speed probably resulted in more jackals spawning.

Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

You're obviously very confused about my post. Sorry if I was unclear, let me explain.

I got the Silent but deadly achievement very easily on the last level as master chief: high charity.

The level starts off, then you walk inside, go through a few rooms, and then indoors opens up to a big room with two loaded snipers in a crate. A ton of drones (not jackals) fly off to kill some flood on a further platform. From where you are, you can snipe the drones as they face away from you during the fight, and you're too far away for them to notice. Also, they even sit in one spot in the air a lot, making them very easy to snipe: I'm a horrible sniper!

I hope that cleared things up?

D'oh! I mixed up your post with another one. When I read your post I quickly disregarded it because I hate sniping drones (had several bad experiences). I then got sidetracked because I thought about the second solution that is on this forum. This is a bad combination if its getting late and you barely got any sleep the previous night.

The first arbiter level. A lot of the grunts tend to sleep.

Awesome :D good to hear I helped someone!

I'm officially confounded by the silent but deadly achievement. I was playing the arbiter level trying to get the achievement, but i kept getting noticed before I could get 7 kills. After that I just said screw it, it's not worth the frustration. So I was playing the beginning of Delta Halo later on, and I was gunning down grunts and elites with an SMG as the dropped out of the phantom, and I suddenly got the achievement unlocked icon.

Somehow, standing under a dropship and shooting enemies in the face is killing them from behind without being noticed.
