Ok well for the past 4 weeks I have been trying to get Endure we always ran out of lives around the 4 set. But this time we made it to the 4th set 3rd round and 2nd last wave we had 5 lives left and the entire game had been lag free but them we were just moving on to the boss wave the lags out. OMFG come on how much time to I have to waste. Im not hating on bungie or anyone else im just tired of wasting tons of my time not to mention we were on the last -blam!-ing wave!!!!. I also have every achievment Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST except endure. Bungie if you ever get a hold of this message can you please have the grace to give me recon because you own the best sci-fps game out there. Thank you bungie from the bottom of my heart.

In all seriousness OP, I understand your pain. I would have had Endure done twice to only have had someone lag out. Once in the middle of the third set with 30+ lives, and once in the last set with 3 waves left. On my third attempt I finally got it. You're just going to have to suck it up. I recommend doing it late at night when less people are hogging up bandwidth for your Internet provider and making sure that there are no other obstacles. For instance the second time a guy lagged out because his sister answered the phone and his DSL cut out on him. It is kind of a shame that these are the biggest obstacles to getting this achievement but you just have to deal with it.

If possible I recommend having people over and doing it over system link (while still connected to Live) to cut this obstacle out if possible. I would have had it done this way over my friend's house awhile back but our fourth person was bad and died too many times.

This is the way I did it; works like a charm, and there's no lag.

I'm Aeromaster56 and I approve this message.

I really don't think you should get it. If you don't do the whole thing plus the bonus round, you don't qualify for the requirments. I reccomend you try something easier first, like Classic or Brainpan.

Sorry dude, but things just don't work that way. I feel your pain, as I have tried for Endure ALOT and seem to fail on the last round most of the time. Just keep trying and eventually you'll get it.

Hello! I'm a male!

I voted no because you made this waste of space thread. You never did the qualifications for the achievement there for you didn't get it. Bungie also stated that they will not just give people the achievement or recon. So either keep trying and quit whining or just go find somewhere else to cry.

  • 02.13.2010 6:26 AM PDT

Soffish for everyone!

Art and Halo = my life... pretty much.

you aren't special, rotten luck my friend, but your going to have to keep at it like everyone else.
