I was wondering if you could help me out...my son wants to know how to get recon armor. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me how it is done. Thanks

Nice job man! I'm not quite done my 1000g but I'm over the hump with my Overkill and Steppin' Razor! (and a few meta game ones I have not gotten around to getting yet XP) I enjoy getting them ligit. I find it's much more rewarding to get them that way, adding to the fun!

And looking forward, even when I do get my Marathon helmet, I don't think that I could abandon my EVA that has kept my head safe throughout my adventures.

The last achievement I needed was Two For One, but I did get Overkill in the match previous, both those eluded me FOREVER. Overkill was in a Swords match on Epitaph and Two For One was on Snowbound and was achieved by PURE LUCK.

You have no idea how loud I screamed... >>

About legit achievements, I think that's the only way to go.

I got all of mine legitimately, i'm afraid to say (It would have been so much easier to get them them the "wrong" way). Regardless, congratulations on finally getting 1000 achievement points luke.

EDIT: Which reminds me, the Steppin' Razor achievement was probobly the hardest one for me, seeing as I got it BEFORE Swords showed up in Lone Wolves. Very frustrating.

When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Congrats man! I got all mine legit, but my last one was "Maybe next time, Buddy" since I rarely use vehicles on Lone Wolves, and even then it had to be on snowbound or isolation for the ghost (can't hijack mongeese...). Good work though, man!

  • 06.05.2008 9:59 PM PDT

I've gotten two overkills with the oddball.
Good work, Luke.
Though it was likely a fluke.

  • 06.05.2008 10:11 PM PDT

question everything...truth has no pedigree

How are some of these people getting the Overkill achievement in team playlists? My last achievement came in April; it was the Lee R. Wilson Memorial. I got it the first match I decided to try for it. I'm still only lacking the Overkill, though, but all of mine have been legitimate. I guess Luke is probably slightly better than me at this game. Man, it really hurts to say that!

Nice one Lukems

I finally unlocked my steppin' razor last night, who needs recon when you can have security?

for anyone still struggling to get the overkill, the easiest legitimate way is crazy king on The Pit. wait until the hill spawns either side of the snipe towers then just get on a turret and take out the people rushing the hill...

I go it first attemp that way, unlike the *blam* Mongoose Mowdown which took forever

  • 06.05.2008 11:18 PM PDT

DUN WURY ITS ALL GUN BE K

still can't f-ing get overkill but what is more annoying is that i have been close many times
1st time: i had a energy sword and just about to lunge when a grenade spammer killed me
2nd time: swung too early
3rd time: accidently pressed melee instead of fire
4th time: had a gravity hammer got my triple kill and then no-one came grrrrrr :(

My last was Mongoose Mowdown.

God, that was such a stupid achievement. Finally got it on Isolation in the INTL tourney playlist.

I actually got Overkill pretty early in my online career, I only started in December and got it by February. 20 seconds into a KotH game on Epitaph :)


Now I just need to get to 1250G *hint* *hint*

  • 06.06.2008 4:50 AM PDT

my last one was 2 for 1.

i did it in last weekend's legendary brawl, but i had two kids stop and line up on Ghost Town, so it wasn't legit.

BUT, about a week before that, i was on High Ground in Lone Wolves, and i had just jumped down from the Spartan Laser tower. i went over to the invisible spawn, and as i'd hoped, two enemies were right in front of me, one on a ghost and the other about to hi-jack it.

they battled there way over to the bunker, the one guy i could tell was just about the try and jack this dood's ghost, so i charged up my lazer.

my timing was absolutely perfect. he jumped onto the ghost and was about to kick him off when *BLAM*, i nailed the ghost, with both enemies on it, with a spartan laser, for the 2 for... my excitement was cut short.

they both survived...

words cannot describe the amount of anger and frustration i felt at this point, having earned every single achievement legit and dropping almost 15 levels in Lone Wolves, i gave in.

i believe that my 2 for 1 should have been legit, but due to unknown forces i was cheated. so i cheated to get it in the Legendary Brawl.

yes it was not legit, but neither was the ghost surviving a direct hit from the laser.

/fail =(

My last achievements were Steppin' Razor and Overkill.
A quick game of Swords on Epitaph in Lone Wolves fixed that problem.
Elites still need an equivalent of the Katana though.

But getting all my achievements legit feels good. (Except Two For One, that was a -blam!- to get, and that's putting it nicely!)

THe GOOSE was the Hardest. I was one of the first ( top 1.5% ) to get all the achevments. I think I got them all by November 7th. I wish/hope bungie would come out with a second set of achivements but no news on that yet.

I had a bet with K paul on how would get them all first. TO bad he stopped working a bungie before the release. O well I'll earn whatever I had coming to me.

Congrats!! Every achievement is a big deal, and you rocked it out! Good Work!!

  • 06.06.2008 8:51 AM PDT

The last achievement I got was Overkill. It was about six weeks ago and I got in a game of Swords. Also, I the achievements I've earned have been completely legit. I've tried the language thing, but I could never get it to work and would end up playing with a bunch of Frogs.

  • 06.06.2008 10:55 AM PDT

my last achievement was stepin razor
I had given up after getting a overkill with it but the first kill was with a granade and the next 3 were with the sword and it did not give it to me I was pissed

A month later I returned to find out that Swords were added to Lone wolf
I got my final achievement that way, I removed it from my file share but I'm gona put it back up again

Killing Frenzy eluded me for quite some time. I should have got it when I first got the game but it didn't happen and as I ranked up in Lone Wolves my chances got slimmer and slimmer. Then one day after some shotgun-whoring on Epitaph I finally unlocked it - and kept the film clip to enjoy for years to come...

Great job. when I got overkill (crazy king+the pit+sword+4 nooby suckers=foregone conclusion) I just wanted to get the commando helmet for the elite model. but then i thought, what the heck, and did all the campaign metagame scores and bobs your uncle I'm here with the obviously recon superior security helmet.

I also realised that as you will most likely never get round to reading this, I can go GRTRSTVBLIKDCFPNP:LINFYDJVMOGIFB.

I've gotten all achievements but 3-4 meta-scoring, 3 levels complete on Legendary, and Marathon Man.

I've gotten them all legitimately, except my Two for One, which was debatable. I think there were two guys who agreed to help each other (how they could do it with just two people boggled my mind) because I saw each popping into the message mode rather than having the open mic symbol. I thought it strange that two people would back and forth go into messages while in a Lone Wolves lobby...so I came upon them underground standing there, watched someone else assassinate the Laser-holder, stuck him, picked up the Laser, and fired it at the one remaining original would-be booster and also nabbed the other original fellow coming through the shield door behind him. I then proceeded to run for my life the rest of the game, and I'm afraid I garnered some bad Reputation on my Gamercard. :S

Other than that, I hold my 48 in Lone Wolves, so I just achieved Steppin' Razor, Overkill, and Killing Frenzy through sheer number of games played. I believe I got Overkill in one of my first few matches. Funny thing is, I got all of those achievements I just mentioned at different times on Epitaph. It's a treasure-trove of gamerscore for me. Swords matches ftw?!!1?

Congrats on getting the achievement legit, man i felt the same way u did, pissed off at the world for asking if i wanted help, but with the "two for one achievement". It was about 6 or 7 months after i got Halo 3 and had just given up on the achievement when I opened my hopper list to see a double xp weekend playlist: "Legendary Brawl" (the 1st one), so I played a few games until one match I got into a game of Laser Tag on Avalanche (an awesome game btw). I was listening to music through my headphones and not listening to the game, but apparently everyone was being cheap and meeting up in the middle to get the two for one achievement, but i didn't no that. I rushed into the middle to see three guys, two of whom were just standing there. The third rushed after me, praying for a no-scope with his sniper, but I had just enough time to get off a shot with my laser that went through him, AND BOTH his buddies, equaling a triple kill with one laser shot, earning me the achievement. I also got two more doubles with one shot that game by rushing to the middle to head off those noobs. So I got my achievement semi-legitly, nearly -blam!- myself in the process. Sorry for th long message, but I hope you enjoyed my story.

Congrats!! And nice work getting it legit... patience pays off :-)

The Overkill was my last achievement too, and I got it legitimately on a game of Team Swords. It actually turned out to be a Killtacular, which was pretty cool.

For anyone who still doesn't have all the achievements yet, keep trying. Many of the achievements are luck combined with a bit of skill, and it just takes patience -- it'll happen eventually.



exactly what happened to me, game of swords, last achievement, i had been working on it forever! Congrats Lukems, I can recall posts months back stating that you only had 1 achievement to go, finally the katana is yours! wooooooot

I can nearly accurately say all my achievements are legit, but I'm still missing Killing Frenzy.
