The overkill achievement is the only one that eludes me. Not so long ago I decide what the heck, why not try to get it again. so i popped in my legendary edition copy of halo, just because I wanted the sweet looking helmet, and went to play some H3. Well, to my fateful eyes, instead of the regular flashing green indicating that my wireless controller had connected, I received the dreadful 3 red lights of doom.

I am currently still in shock so i have yet to call Microsoft to get my Xbox repaired. But that is my story on the overkill achievement.

Finally! Lol.

When I first saw this, I thought it was by a normal member. I was like "Holy crap, they accepted this!" Then I saw it was by Luke. :P


i thought the exact same thing.
luckily i got my overkill really early in my halo 3 escapades when my rank in lone wolves was still really low, along with the laser achievement (which i think was in my like 2nd or 3rd game on high ground. i'll never forget it). the last one that i got was the legendary campaign complete. i wanted to beat legendary solo before i played with others so that's why it took me so long.

i too got my last achievement. overkill. in this last legendary brawl. ah good times.

So I guess you'll now be showing off your Katana/Security perms?
Good work Luke, it just proves that playing a lot of games has its rewards.

Overkill and Killing Frenzy were my last two, I list them together because I had a lot of trouble getting them. I really have to thank whoever it was that decided Swords should be a game type in Lone Wolves. Overkill on Epitaph, Killing Frenzy on The Pit.

Oh, I promise you this: no matter how much derision and mockery you face, remember that I am probably much worse than you.

Then there are the people who poop in the mash potatoes. Those people get launched out on their asses.

Overkill was my last achievement as well. As a matter of fact, I had pretty much given up trying to get it, then came the fatefull day where an oddball, invisibility, and bubbleshield came to my rescue.

Doublekill, Triplekill, Overkill!!!!

Blacklisted - 2 times.

The last Achievement I got was so random. It was the "Destroy an enemy vehicle with equipment" and I was in RBTB. I picked up a trip mine on Sandtrap, at the base with the underground bit, and I just randomly chuck it. I hear the chugging sound of a Chopper, and then an explosion, then the noise and "Achievement Unlocked" and I was like "WTF awesomez"

Lol, I still need a few Meta game achievements, they are annoying, and Overkill and the highjacking one.

  • 06.04.2008 8:46 PM PDT

I Am Awesome.

Congrats.

My last achievement was Mongoose Mowdown; decided to leave it for last seems as it would be the nuisance of an achievement to get. Unfortunately, my driving skills were not so keen on pinning someone against a wall.

I got my quite accidently; someone shot at me with several brute shots sending me flying into the doorway leading into the HQ building on Last Resort. Someone was camping in there with Mauler I guess and I happened to use him as a cushion to stop me from splattering on the wall. I dropped my controller in absolute triumph and stomped around the house raising some noises and whatnot. Amazing how much hysteria chance can give someone...

Clan Spider Mines

Congrates Luke,


I got all mine legit but two of them I was going to get help on, the dreaded two for one and the blasted mongoose mowdown. Fortunatly for me when I was getting help for both of them I got screwed over by some pencil neck 6 year old kid. I was on high ground and had people that were going to help me and then as soon as I was about to laser my two new friends some kid blew us all to hell with a rocket. I later saw him getting high jacked while on the ghost and nailed them both to the wall with the laser. When I finally got down there to the "mongoose party" that same kid was throwing frag grenades at me I turn towards him in the monsgoose and pinned him into the wall thus getting the mongoose mowdown achievment.

  • 06.04.2008 9:08 PM PDT

Congrats Luke!

To me, the three thorn-in-side achievements for Halo 3 was the two-for-one laser kill, which I thought for sure I got here but didnt... I ended up getting that Achievement in the same spot that I am in the film on the very next day! The overkill which I should have gotten here driving a ghost on isolation but didnt because I must have been a nano-second away from killing the last guy =/. I got the overkill achievement using a sniper rifle on Guardian, but I felt like I cheated the achievement because one guy was AFK so I didnt save that film... On December 7th(a day that shall live in infamy), I got what I think is the luckiest legit overkill while driving a ghost on Isolation, which can be found here; and yes this one did count. I didnt even see the last two guys! Even though I earned the Overkill achievement on October 28th, I still feel like it was the last one I earned because I got the lucky one on December 7th. The last achievement I earned though was Steppin Razor on October 30th... I did not get it in the Living Dead playlist, however, I just got really lucky on construct one game... Unfortunately though, I did not keep the film clip... But I did keep three clips of my journey for being 1000/1000!

My last achievement in Halo 3 was the Killing Frenzy, I can't remember if I saved it or not but it was the crazy killing frenzy that I had ever seen.

It was in Legendary Brawl and I was hiding back trying to kill everyone without them seeing me, but then on my last kill I was spotted. The spotter immediately took a teleporter to where I was (I was where the rocket launcher spawns). He caught me by surprise and I knew that I was done for, so I started hiding behind a tree. The minute he came around the corner I punched him in the face and ran but at the same time throwing a Plasma Grenade. I got gunned down and my grenade seem to have missed the man, I was so mad. But wait! What's this? Lag! My grenade suddenly flew off the ground stuck right to his neck, at this point I'm flipping out and wondering if it stuck in time. It did. The kill counted for before I died, and then I waited. BUKE! The achievement unlocked symbol came up on the screen, and I had my katana.

Well hey, Congrats Luke!!

Overkill was a difficult achievement for me to get to, but I got lucky in a King of the Hill match on Isolation. The hill was in the area with the sniper rifle. I managed to beat down one person, pick up his rocket, fire, and get a triple kill, and threw a grenade into the hill for the overkill. It was a moment to remember.

But, I must be honest, the one achievement I did not get legit was 2 for 1. That achievement drove me crazy. It haunted my in my sleep. Eventually, I got it, but not legit. Ever since then I have felt bad, like the kind of feeling you get when you eat a lot, but then hope there is more food to come, but there isn't.

So, the past month I have been trying to get a 2 for 1 legit.

I finally got during the Team Snipers playlist, during a game of Team Splazers on Standoff. (It wasn't Lone Wolves, but I was so excited when I heard, "Double Kill!!")
The game was tied 23-23. I managed to sneak over to the opponents base, and was charging up the Splazer to fire at an enemy. Wouldn't you know it, one of his friends tries to shoot me, and jumps into the beam, where he and his teamate get killed.
At first, for a brief second, no medals appeared, and got me worried, but the next second it said, "Game Over. Double Kill!!!"

I also got a second 2 for 1 in another match, but that one wasn't as glamorous.

The 2 for 1 is on my fileshare titled, "241, winning double kill" if anyone would like to see it.

But, probably the thing that made me laugh so hard, I could have sworn I was having a seizure, was an Overkill i got during Legendary Brawl.

I was driving a Wraith on a KotH match on Avalanche. Some guy was running toward the hill, so I shot him. One kill. No big deal. As i drove into the hill a second later, I splatter some guy in a Bubble Shield. With that burst of speed, I splattered that guy, then ran into a Warthog, with 2 people in ith. (2 people in a Warthog in FFA? What the heck?) The Wraith hit the Hog so hard, it splattered both people. It was awesome. Again, it is in my File Share titled, "Best OVerkill"

except for IWBYD, but then nobody got that legit.


anybody who found all (let alone half) of the skulls just on their own is over explorational. i was on a two week mission before giving up and having a friend take me to the skulls. before that, i found the very first one on my own. that's it!

  • 06.04.2008 9:36 PM PDT

Myyy final achievement was 2 for 1. I got it on construct, two guys were fightin, and then like BAM, they lined up RIGHT when my laser went off. Needless to say, My control was thrown in the air, hitting the fan, spinning the controller around and throwing it into my computer screen, cracking it. I screamed for joy, and for pain because I couldn't see what the hell I was doing on the computer. And thats my story. Fun times, 200 bucks later, new computer screen and my first 1000/1000 evar. I love this game, specifically for moments like this.

Wow, that was quite a... Patriotic game...

Everyone's red white or blue =]

I can't believe there were 5 guys in a room, not killing each other in an FFA. Lucky break for you. Congrats.

  • 06.04.2008 9:45 PM PDT

Gratz dude! I had a similar story. I worked for hours after getting all the campaign achievements. Two for One is a killer! I played for some time before I luckily got two people with one lazer.
Unfortunately, I did cheat in getting all my achievements: I looked on YouTube for the skulls. :(

My last achievement in Halo 3 was Mongoose Mowdown. I went to get the rest of my achievements after I got my disc fixed (It couldn't load most campaign levels, so I couldn't complete Legendary). In every Lone Wolves match, I'd plead that if anyone saw a mongoose speeding towards them, they would let it hit them (jokingly of course, my achievements I have gotten legitimately) and in one of those matches, someone was distracted by someone else, and bam, there you go.
The hardest thing about it was not worrying about my stats and skill level.

Well, I only have 8 unlocked atm, but Im proud to say that I have not played campaing yet and have gotten the overkill in ranked free for all twice, both times swords, once on epitaph and once on guardian. now, i want to know how the hell you get one laser double kill in that....... hmmmm

  • 06.04.2008 9:57 PM PDT

Ya that was my last one too. I reamber it like it was yesterday but it happened way long time ago like November I was amazed that it happened. It was Odd ball on Guardian It was funny because I beat them all with there own skull and won the match.

Hey is bungie ever going to use those extra acivement points for anything? The extra 250 you know how some games put the extra points out with DLC for example Gears, Crackdown, Stranglehold.
