These achievements are insanely hard to get, because nobody plays default game variants, especially Oddball and such, and a lot of the maps aren't popular either. Not to mention you need to have four players in each match and have to finish all of them.

So, is anyone up for an achievement run to get these two achievements? If so, post you Windows Live Gamertag and I will add you as a friend. I have a few people together already, we just need a couple more. I am usually on 7:00 pm eastern time and later.

I already have both of them, so I'm not interested.

Try hosting a game, with the game variant called "Rainman Achieve" or "Cartographer Achieve" or "Achievements". This will either attract players who are willing to help you get achievements and possibly get them themselves, or a-holes who like to join random games and screw everything up (oh yeah, that happens a lot).

Also, if you start up the game, and immediately end it, it will count as "playing the map" and "playing the variant". So if you want them in a hurry, you can use this method, although some people like to actually play through the games so they'll have fun and get achievements "properly".

If you don't know how to edit variants, in your main menu, go to Settings then Game Variants, then select a gametype, and you can create a whole new variant, or you can select an existing variant and give it a new name (this will not alter the default variant, hence the padlock beside the name).

I need them too so add me if you like.

My GT is: xI Bodhi Ix (those I's are i's...you can also find my GT in my service record here)

Dont be afraid to send an invite to Halo 2 Vista even if I am playing some other game on the 360, I'll switch because I rather play Halo 2 and my computer is usually on so the switch will be fast.
I got a week off starting tomorrow so I will probably be on a lot playing different games.

I managed to get the Violent Cartographer achievement completely through regular play. Though, I've still yet to get the Rain Man achievement. I've never seen one person get that one without the help of others =[
