The HALO trilogy is one of the greatest entertainment experiences of all time!

Congratulations Luke, my last achievement in Halo 3 was the Orpheus achievement where you have to earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the eighth mission, Cortana. I earned this achievement on Wednesday, January 16, 2008. Also to let you know I earned all of my achievements legit, so even though I was tempted to get help from fellow Lone Wolves players on the "Two for One" and the "Steppin Razor", I just randomly got them without really focusing just on them and my Marathon helmet and Katana chest plate are not stained with mistruth and treachery. And no I did not save and keep the file for all time like you did because it was campaign and I was too excited about getting my Katana and my Marathon / Security helmet that I went to play in Matchmaking and Custom Games with my friends to show it off to them and the world because I was the first one of all of my friends to get it and so the film was gone after 25 quick games.

First off congrats, but you still have that great Ranked Killtacular to show as a Top Medal.



I got three friends and myself for the Campaign achievements in a matter of a week and was left with only the online-only achievements.

I have the Overkill, Steppin' Razor, and Two for One as a Saved Clip and I sadly lost my Maybe Next Time Buddy clip. That made me heartbroken, but the Marathon Helmet makes everything better.

"I don't even dare call those things magnums."

Lol Lukems. Good job. The way I got mine was while I was in legendary brawl, my first spawn was next to the overshield in Ghost town during a shotty snipers match. After I grabbed the overshield I preyed on all of my victims. I'll include that if I didn't grab that overshield, I would of been shot in the head by a sniper. I was so lucky.

I still need my overkill as well, but then again, I need to go through the metagames and find all the skulls too. I am waiting to get my overkill first though.... I should have focussed on getting it a lot earlier in my days, I am a 44 in LW and know I won't get it here, and on Legendary Brawl, I was just focusing on winning, so now I am a 34 and it was me (highest rank at the time 46, with like 8 Generals and a couple of other hight 40s.) So Maybe I missed my opportunity, I guess All I can hope for is camp os and hope enough people come my way...

  • 06.04.2008 10:14 PM PDT

I'm da BOSS.

Grats Luke! :)

Proud to say I got my 1000/1000 legit. ^ ^

I'd say the hardest for me was the Double Laser kill. My advice to those who haven't gotten it is in a game of odd ball; You can probably tag two people that way (ball carrier, some one following ball carrier).

  • 06.04.2008 10:18 PM PDT

I still can't get the Maybe Next Time Buddy achievement. I got all of the other achievements legitimately (I got clips in my File Share), but this last one is so hard. I think Bungie made this one too hard as every one I have talked to has unlocked the achievement by getting help.

Oops, I forgot to mention, the last Achievement I earned was Steppin' Razor. I got that in a KotH match on The Pit - not in a Swords match. I actually think that it's much harder to get Steppin' Razor when everyone has Swords.

It didn't take me too long to get the Overkill achievement.

ha...I got all of mine legit, but I paid a heavy price, went from a 37 to a 28 in LW....

2 for 1 was my last hard achievement, then I just needed marathon man.....

so now I wear my securtiy helmet once in a while....not alway cause it makes me

a target for haters.

  • 06.04.2008 10:29 PM PDT

Yar-har!

Unfortunately for me not all of my achievements are legit. Like Two For One, honestly I got that achievement before I even knew how to get it. Some guys just asked me if I wanted some free kills, and as a noobie to Halo 3 just after it came out I wasn't going to argue with the logic: two free kills. Then the achievement blip came on my screen, and then I realized it was an achievement match, just like I had previously done in Gears Of War for some of the ranked multiplayer achievements.

"My BLAM brings all the boys to yard, and consequently kills them and crushes their souls..."

Congrats Luke... I got my last achievment (Steppin Razor) legit no less in the living dead playlist on Halloween. Now that I have the sword on my back, you can keep Recon... I just wanna use that sword. Currently I'm looking at trying to fill up my medals chest, but having issues getting the elusive linktacular without running a custom game.

  • 06.04.2008 10:37 PM PDT

Why can't red team and blue team just talk it out?

I'll admit, I cheated for 2-for-1, but I got it legit the game after :) . Everything else was 1st time legitimate, though.

Finished the fight.

Play a lot. . . *shaking head* still have 4 achievements to go. :(

  • 06.04.2008 10:59 PM PDT

nice i only just got my last achievement a couple of weeks ago two for one i saved the clip (my over kill clip got delated somehow)

My Two for One Achievement

Congratulations on the achievement. Even Chuck Norris thinks you did good!

  • 06.04.2008 11:32 PM PDT

Yeah, acheivments...good times.
I'd say the most annoying was mogoose mowdown, cuz I suck at mongooses.
And then my favorite one to get was my killing frenzy, swords on the pit...legit.
Then the "maybe next time buddy" one I rammed a ghost into the bunker on high ground and got boarded. Sometimes it takes just dum luck to get these things, you know?

[Edited on 06.04.2008 11:38 PM PDT]

  • 06.04.2008 11:34 PM PDT

I got all my acheivments legit, exept for Maybe next time buddy which I did with Vendreka, but the NEXT ROUND I got it legit of this guy who didn't know how to use a ghost, so I kinda got it legit.

Congrats Luke! I've had Halo 3 since the midnight release yet I still have Steppin' Razor and Overkill to go.

One day I will get them and then I will feel as proud as you must feel now.

Legit 1000 is is the way to go.

We are the same, you and I.
Not one hour ago, on the very day you posted this, I finally got my "Two for One" Achievement on Construct. So I can say with fresh understand that i know how you must feel. I also recently got the overkill on Guardian and that was deeply satisfying
I had done both these before, but never in Lone Wolves. That sucked for so long.

All of my achievements have been legit, otherwise I would have had them much earlier. I actually got the "Maybe next time buddy" achievement just before this one, and I did it twice in the same game, and then again later that night. Go fig.

Congrats Luke! I will always remember that the first game I got all the achievements in was in the game I bought a 360 for, and that it was right around the time you got em' all.

over the last few days ive been workin on gettin my gamer score up to 1000... i just finished all the levels on normal with free for all scoreing and got all the acheivements... now i jsut have to get the 6 remaining ones that deal with online playing... the one achievement i didnt understand was the "were in for some chop" acheievement... on the quote... it cleary states "destroy an enemy vehical with equiptment on campaign or a ranked free for all playlist..." my first thougth was to grab a tank and kill an enemy drop ship befor it droped off a wraith... i spent about an hour destroying the same drop ship to see if i could get the acheivement.. in the end i looked up the achievement on good old google and found that all i needed to do was throw a trip mine in front of an approching chopper so it blows up... how does killing a vehical with equiptment relate to blowing up a chopper with a trip mine?

  • 06.04.2008 11:59 PM PDT

got all mine legit about 3 months ago, the two for one is what kept me from getting there, then i took the time to get the last few after i got that one cause my overkill was luckily already done.

katana sucks haha

"Chaos reigns within. Reflect, repent, and reboot. Order shall return."

Overkill was my lst as well! For me I kept getting annoyed when everyone else was asking "Can you help me with acheivements?" - I guess those that offered to help you only had recon in mind....

Yes I kept my clip - for me it was done by killing all the guys trying to get the achievement themselves and not playing the game at hand which was oddball.

Check it out here!!!

My last was Overkill, never even thought about it either after double and triple, I was just waiting for that inevitable bullet or beatdown that would spoil it, as usual. Some kid was private chatting all through a lonewolves game last night for a mongoose mowdown. On Guardian. I kept saying 'get the mongoose and I'll wait in the middle.' Fool. Congrats on the overkill tho!

And I think my most recent achievement was mongoose mowdown i cant remember it unless it was Lee R wilson memorial? I dont kno why im so proud of it im just happy to finally have scout shoulders cause i just recently got xbox live, But the guy i played with hit me with a grav hammer from behind and shot me into another guy while i was on the mongoose, When it said u splattered (enter gamertag here) I was like what? FINALLY!!!!!
