Original Xbox games weren't made to have achievements in them. I'm almost positive that it isn't possible; even if it was, it's not at all practical.

Yeah, I don't see the need for it.

This was recently answered by HaloWaypoint on their Twitter account (Jan 6th, 2010):
Q: @HaloWaypoint Add in Halo 2 cheevos and keep the cap 50, or raise it to 60!!! Come on its a Halo game, and you get cheevos for it! sweeneyben
A: @sweeneyben We're always discussing plans for the evolution/growth of Waypoint. Today's TU was just the next small step forward. HaloWaypoint

Q: @HaloWaypoint Why don't you support Halo 2 PC on Halo waypoint? (unless I'm missing something) jpasula
A: @jpasula Good question. Our focus is on the console-based experience at the moment, but who knows what the future will hold? HaloWaypoint

I would love it if they did seeing as it really should be all Halo game's achievements, hence "Completionist"!

As for Xbox's Halo and Halo 2 Achievements, it's highly unlikely they could or would do such a thing. Unless they remake the game for the Arcade in 10 years like Perfect Dark, then they could revamp graphics and add achievements.

When you play an Classic Xbox game on a 360 your 360 starts to make itself think its a classic Xbox. and when it does that there is no way to have any achievements activated beacuse the Classic Xbox didnt have achievements built into its system.
The only way you can have achievements for Halo CE or Halo 2 is if they remade the game on the 360. i wish that would happen but probably not.

Now, finally, in 2010, I can finally play Halo 2 online like I've always wanted to since November of 2004.

Dude, we've seen tons of stuff happen throughout the years that were technically "impossible" to do. Like porting Outrun to the Xbox, do cross-platform play with the Dreamcast and PC versions of Quake III Arena, make Wolfenstein RPG work on the Apple Iphone using the software render...I find it difficult to believe that NOBODY in Microsoft OR Bungie can figure out a way to work araound ancient Xbox technology, my COUSIN has found ways to work around ancient Microsoft hardware, and he wasn't getting paid for it.

Look, if Microsoft and Bungie can't do it, they need to hire John Carmack, he'll be like, "Oh alright, give it to me goddamnit, I'll find some free time between racing my electric sportscars, building rocketships and writing next-gen revolutionariy videogame technology to solve your sorry Xbox problem".

yes i know they re-made older games with achievements but they cant add achievements to a disc based xbox game. When a disc is played you cant access any Xbox360 functions. if they re-made the entire game as DLC that worked off 360 code. then it could be done.

I was shocked when I saw Halo 2 Vista had achievements.
