Subject: Achievments in Halo Reach. A simple request.

My only issue with the halo games was having acheivments for the online aspect of it. Take for example on halo 3 the ones specific to lone wolfs ranked matches and those for Social matches. We ended up with a lot of boosters going for the Achievments rather than playing the game as it should be.

Just keep all the acheivments in the campaign mode is all im saying. I dont know how many times i tried for the 2 4 1 and ended up de ranking because of it.

hell no. no rewards for playing online?

make achievements based on a high number of actions, not a specific medal or something, like in H3.
example : lolbr - kill 1000 persons with a BR. loljacker! - hijack 150 vehicles.


keep in mind there will ALWAYS be boosters and cheaters on halo. it's the place where all the scum and freeloaders, kids and mlg meet.
it's like trolling on 4chan. it's inevitable.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Ice, I completely agree with you. What happens to the offline 360 players, thay can't get all of the achievments, and why? Oh yeah, because they dont want to deal with children.

If they make the achievments in campaign only, they should have some where you can only get them in solo-play...

Yeah I have to agree we did have a lot of boosters but thats hard to fix Bungie did a good job though. I'd make it to where you can only language match in team games because in RANKED LONE WOLVES why do you need to talk to players of your own language --- really? But if I like online achievements just please no CO-OP achievements because then I have to find a person to do want I want them to do like Vudmaster Annual, but still its an experience -- right? Anyways Im sure Bungie will do a great job on achievements just like Halo 3 and ODST.

Make all achievements for campaign, only include online achievements for ranking e.g like the spartan officer one.

Achievement: All achievable Offline and Online.

Problem solved.

Exactly. If you put them all in campaign, it extends the campaign experience and lets people enjoy multiplayer without stressing about achievement grinding.

CoD has them all in campaign, and their multiplayer surely doesn't suffer for it.

Gears, on the other hand, has a good chunk of them for multiplayer and they are the epitome of tedium.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The good thing about campaign achievements is that they are independantly achieveable, meaning you don't need to rely on the actions of others to get. The online Halo3 achievements were terrible, some requiring a measure of skill, but most requiring total blind luck.

It's hard to find an appropriate balance with game achievements, but I think it wise to put more into campaign and leave the MP achievements for attainable things that require time or percision, more than luck. Or make the MP achievements "any game mode" and solve both problems.

  • 11.16.2009 11:20 AM PDT

Well I do want online achievements, but not the kind thats impossible to get. Then again, Halo 3 and ODST fortunatly didn't have those kinds of achievements. But please, please don't do Gears of War style achievements! (1000 kills with weapon x in ranked multi)

Nyan nyan, nyan nyan, ni hao nyan! Gorgeous, delicious, deculture!

I say there should only be offline achievements (i.e. Firefight and Campaign), and that there should be a challenge system a la Call of Duty 4 for multiplayer.

  • 11.16.2009 11:36 AM PDT

i agree with original post. its good enough to get ur rank up, u dont need achievements. besides, if u do, u should at least take out deleveling.

  • 11.16.2009 11:45 AM PDT

Resignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow.
Defeat is merely the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved...but you imposed.

Personally, I like an even amount of achievements for campaign and multiplayer. The campaign ones generally don't take to long to get, the multiplayer ones keep me coming back once I've played through the campaign so times.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Don't be so concerned about achievments if they get you de-ranked. You say players should play the game the way it should be played. Well then instead of you going out of your way to try and get an achievement, like Two for one, you should play the game normally and let what happens, happen.

  • 11.16.2009 12:43 PM PDT

Are you crazy? If it weren't for achievements many people wouldn't even play MP. That's the gripe I have with cod, no achievements in MP. The online achievements actually made me play the MP and made try to strive for them.

  • 11.16.2009 12:45 PM PDT

i agree. it only promotes boosting, especially if it's free for all achievements.

*cough*Annual, Deja vu, endure*cough* Sorry, I had to point that out.

But yeah, I really don't want any 2 for 1's, killtaculars, or mongoose mowdowns (at least not in Lone Wolves). I think achievements in multiplayer should be minimal and for reaching a milestone (aka, an achievement) like a certain rank, being MVP, getting X number of kills/wins, or other things you can strive for.

Excatly, I tried to get that one during the living dead playlist since my rank was way to high in Lone wolfs. Only issue was had to be in Creeping Rockets, and that playlist is really screwed up.

Ya I could play the game correctly in lone wolfs (a playlist I hate) and end up de ranking due to not getting a map that has the laser. When I finally get on a map with one someone else gets it due to a spawn near by and I have to wait the rest of the game for the re spawn.

With the way kids are these days, they will leave cheating feedback due to de ranking in a play list. Thanks everyone for the replies, both sides of the argument are valid so keep them coming in!
