Nice man! My last achievement was the Steppin' Razor one, but with that i got a little bonus: When I was going for it I got a Killtacular! Haha it was sweet, and then right after the Killtac I got another Triple Kill... I was sooo close form the Killtastrophe! But good job man!

Bag of peanuts to throw at old people:$3
Cost of lawsuits:$10,000
Reaction of said old people:Priceless

GJ Luke, so far all of my achievments are legit, but I was so tempted to cheat to get the overkill, steppin razor, and killing frenzy until I read this.

Go make a blog about it..

For the Next 10 minutes, Your my B1tch!

Well done for getting your overkill luke, must have been a huge relief, especially having the optoin to show off your katana.

As for the legit way of playing, the only achievement i found hard was 2 for 1, which i did legit, saved on my file share.
My overkill was pretty funny, i was having a really painfull day and got put in an odd ball game, after alot of death and endless walking about, i decided to give up hunting for the ball and started killing everyone instead (i wanted some enjoyment out of the loss of this game to say the least, especially with my K/D ratio slowly plummeting down to nothing)
But towards the end of the oddball game i came incontact with the ball player and started shooting at him, as he fell towards the floor, someone else was shooting him next to me, i slowed down, assassinated him, and went round the corner to find he was gone, so turned round to find someone shooting me with a BR, i managed to kill him (dont know how) and saw triple kill come up???? (i didnt know who the 3rd person was but i accepted it at the time) and then to my luck someone came down to my right with a turret (obviously didnt see me on radar and i managed to assassinate him in the last 10 seconds of that whole game.

Watching back the video i discovered the triple kill was down to the first person i started shooting at with the ball, jumped off the ledge and since i was the last to shoot him, i got the kill, the other 3 kills are pretty straight forward, but darn was i lucky, i wasnt even attempting that achievement, but hilarious when my friends watching me starting screaming WTF!!
Check out the video for that one too, its on my file share.

As for triple kill with the sword i managed that quite easily before u brought in the swords playlist, i didnt save that video since i found it so easy to get, but have later discovered i must have been playing very small children who are blind since i never did achieve that sword triple kill until i played a swords match, and then i started raking up the triple kills with the sword.

Anyways, well done for you over kill, its always good to see 1000/1000 GS especially when you helped make the game what it is now! LOL

I pwn noobs and their goin dwn
MONKEYZ

the last achievment i got was a two for one it was a odd way how i got it 2 mongooses were going to collide together but i was running by random with my lazer and i accidently shot them

  • 06.04.2008 3:27 PM PDT

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

It's great actually to achieve the achievements, isn't it? Great job, Lukems. I used a guide for the skull and terminal locations but everything else was done legitimately. My last two achievements were the Mongoose Mowdown and Maybe Next Time, Buddy ones. Those where frustrating. I tried to run someone down with a Mongoose, missed, and power slid into someone that I didn't even know was there. :P

  • 06.04.2008 3:28 PM PDT

Hi! <3

/gives you 4 congrats within 4 seconds of each other

I'm still at like 890/1000, and to be honest I don't really care about getting the rest. I know if I get lucky enough to get my 2 for 1, Overkill, or Killing Frenzy, I'll never have the courage to attempt Campaign all over again for meta-game achievements.

Oh well. But here's to legit Achievements!

i think i gomy overkill from oddball or something, but it was back in 07

  • 06.04.2008 3:32 PM PDT

"Go then. There are other worlds than these."

Congrats Luke!

I snagged the overkill during the Halloween Zombie time. The one I had given up hope on was the 2 for 1. I am not good at t3h lazorz so I didn't even really bother to venture into lone wolves much to hunt for those last few achievements (Stepping razor and Maybe next time are my other missing ones.)

But Lo! During Legendary Brawl this last weekend, on avalanche, in Mosh Pit, I finally got my 2 for 1. I was so excited I nearly peed.

I actually spent the better part of the next day reflecting on how satisfying it was to get it and how if I had not done it legit it would not have been the same. I feel like the people who got the achievements "on the cheap" have missed the whole point... the feeling of achievement.

I've wanted that security helmet since the moment armor variations were announced. I actually thought, "I hope they do a security helmet," and was bummed when I learned of the requirement. But now the hunt is back on. I spent some time in lone wolves last night and got 4 double kills on a swords match so it feels really possible again for the first time in months. When I finally do unlock that helmet I will wear it with pride.

Legit FTW!

Plastered Gunnery Sergeant: After A heavy afternoon of binge drinking, this NCO of casual players drunkenly Jabs the big green X on his 360 controller, forsaking any communication with the long-ago broken headset. Straight from the title screen to the social hopper, The Plastered Gunnery Sergeant settles down into his armchair and grabs another brewski from the nearby barfridge for a night of driving a warthog full of passengers over the cliff in standoff.

two for one was the last one i got and I still have one left, Spartan Officer. Too bad, no Katana for a Master Sergeant. lol. Congrats

  • 06.04.2008 3:37 PM PDT

hmmm an Signature? what should i put here?

CHEESE

Steppin Razor was my last one :). Got it in an Oddball on Construct WAY back on Oct.22ish. lost the game though :(

  • 06.04.2008 3:37 PM PDT

Codeword is ... "codeword". Doh!
Also, now, Alliance FTW!

I feel your (former) pain, Luke...I've been working on Overkill as my last achievement for about 2 months, including through the first and second Legendary Brawls. I sat through too many painful sniper games/lazer games, camped inside the doorway by the shotgun in Rat's Nest, tried the shotgun/bubshield on Ghost Town, hammer time at the top of the elevator on Guardian, nothing has worked. Tauntingly, I got an overkill the other night in a fierce Ranked game of Team Slayer.

I am now zen-like in my approach.... which means I'm going to pretend not to give a darn.

Anyway...congrats! Wear your sword proudly!

Hello.

Congrats! I am glad you finally got it.

  • 06.04.2008 3:40 PM PDT

Say "goodbye", traitor!

I managed to get my Overkill late last year, but the last achievements that had eluded me were the Mongoose Mowdown, Maybe Next Time Buddy, and Marathon Man. I was only really concerned about Mongoose Mowdown, because I knew it would be the hardest having spent the last few months trying to earn it while maps with Mongeese kept getting vetoed. I finally got it at the end of March. I then went after Maybe Next Time Buddy and got it unranked with ease. I had purposefully saved Marathon Man for last as I had planned since Halo 3 first came out. I earned it on my birthday too, so that was cool. I have videos of me earning Mongoose Mowdown, and a video of me earning the overkill and Two for One in a single fell swoop. The last one was a bit illegitimate. I got it on Halloween on The Pit during Living Dead, but I had just learned of the trick to get under the ramp and so I was trying to see if I could and next thing I knew I was stuck and had a horde of zombies trying to get me. So I splazered them and chunked some grenades and got two achievements and my first ranked killtacular medal. I have since then got double kills with the laser and a few more overkills legitimately.

Congratulations on getting all of your achievements legit. All of my achievements are not legit, I am a fraud. I asked for help with my last two, Mongoose Mowdown and Maybe Next Time Buddy. By the time I had these two left I was a level forty in Lone Wolves. I think I lasted an average time of less then ten seconds on a Mongoose at the time I tried to get the Mowdown. Every time I was vehicle jacked I just got smoked seconds later and was unable to jack it back. I finally resorted to just asking nicely if someone would help me. Luckily enough I had a couple of players willing to help me out the first time I had asked on two separate occasions. With the Mowdown a player actually sacrificed their life to help. The player that had helped me out with the Maybe Next Time Buddy met me at the Ghost on Snowbound. I manned the Ghost and let him jack me, I then jacked him back and got the achievement and then we went our separate ways and continued playing as expected.

i'm happy for you man, but the last achievement that i recieved was quite a while ago...

it was the 7th meta game (the covenant)

i had to play it about 5 times before i finished it

the first time, i was about 71% of the way finished and i had to get off, i begged and pleaded with my mom and she said that i'll be grounded if i don't get off...so i got off because if i got grounded, no meta game achievement for me...

the second time, i was about 85% of the way finished and we lost power...

the third time, i was only about half way done, and when it went to one of the cutscenes, my disc was diagnosed as "unreadable"

the fourth time, i was precisely 99.9% of the way finished, i was at the rings, getting ready to beat it...little did i know, my step dad was working on the wiring in our house and shut the power off so he wouldn't get electricuted when he was working...

i honestly had tears in my eyes at this point, i threw my controller on my bed, shut the xbox off and left the room, silent...

after a couple of days, i decided to try it when NO ONE was home, and i beat it, yay me

My last one was Mongoose Mowdown.

It was hard :/

Congrats though!

  • 06.04.2008 3:51 PM PDT

The Katana Sword is only 49 achievments away. Its time to campaign whore.

Nice Job Luke! I have been on my campaign runs on legendary with all my friends trying to get the last of my achivments, which were all in campaign. I have now unlocked them all EXCEPT for the 50,000 points for the Covenant. I played it yesterday to beat it on legendary and try to get the points, but i got 48,000. Oh well, Im almost there.

Seek the Truth, Behold the truth, Reveal the Truth, that is the law and the whole of the law...

The last achievement I got was we're in for some chop, after some friends tipped me about tsavo higway...

Anyway, I want to earn the othes I have left legit so I guess I'll have to be patient, like luke.

My last achievement was the Killing Frenzy, which was no big deal. The achievement that I really had trouble with was the Mongoose Mowdown, splaters are near impossible even with a NORMAL vehicle on my New Zealand connection.

I got the overkill on construct and the Spartan Laser double kill in the zombie playlist, though I've had a reasonable many since then.

  • 06.04.2008 3:53 PM PDT

You were killed from the grave by Im Taking You With Me.

You splattered An Unwary Pedestrian.

GET A BLOG!

Oh wait you did.

I didn't realize "Bungie Blog" was going to be taken so literally.


I would have never written about it, if I didn't get my balls broke so much over it :D

They must have been really harsh to you then, feel sorry for you having to put up with them mocking you. Congrats anyway and hope to see you in matchmaking sometime. (If i'm awake that is lol)
