hey ok, so I read somewhere that while in a vehicle you can't let marines fire nor can you use the triggers, whats the deal with this achievement can someone point me in a direction where I can figure it out, because I've beaten a level twice now and didn't get the achievement

I like to play firefight but without MM it's kinda tough to find people who also like to play it semi-regularly. So if you are looking for someone to play with send me a FR. I have all the vidmaster achievements but don't have a problem in helping out...especially if you are doing endure. SC

This should explain it all

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

No, you can't fire, but the marine gunner can. You drive the hog and let the AI guys do the work. Just don't honk the horn or hit the brakes. No hitting the trigger buttons at all. I've heard that can count as shooting or throwing grenades.

this will explain alot for myself. I did 'Classic' the other night but I never got my 'bleep bleep' (achievement pop-up). I completed it in a ghost (using the afterburners to get me out of tight spots), from reading about not being able to use the triggers. Will this explain as why I didn't get the 25G's?!?

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

The boosters on the Ghost seem to be the only exception. At any point during these attempts, did you beep the horn while in a Warthog? That will immediately nullify the achievement.

The first couple times i tryed it i had my hog stuffed with marines and let them do the dirty work while i drove threw but it still didn't give me the achievable. not a single bullet can leave your vehicle nor can you annoy the covenant with your horn. i only got the chievment after i ran threw the mission about twenty times and finnaly got it with no marines and no horn.

not that I can recall. The only thing I did do which could of void it was to get away from 2 Grunts at 1 point, I had to melee attack each of them but at any point I never shot at them.

I'm going to attempt the achievement again and see what happens this time.

Remember Reach

You can ride in the warthog but do not power slide or honk the horn. (this makes you not receive the acheivment and is a glitch which I heard of from a friend). You can ride in the ghost and the chopper and I beleive that you can then boost.

  • 02.24.2010 3:28 PM PDT

That is the quickest I have ever completed 'Uplift Reserve' lol.
I'm thinking another thing I did wrong on my first failed attempts was to change gun (from the fuel rod to the secondary weapon). It looks as though as you guys say, Boosting is accepted. A Ghost is definately the way to go with completing this achievement.

Only Annual to go now before the 'Road to Recon' comes to an end.

When I did Classic, I boosted AND splattered with the ghost multiple times, as well as with the chopper.

1. You cannot shoot ANYTHING (No right trigger AT ALL, EVER)

2. No grendades (no left trigger while not in a vehicle, OR while in a HOG. It's absolutely fine to boost a chopper or ghost.

3. Kills are FINE (splatter, melee...) as long as you don't do 1 or 2. Anything else goes, MAKE SURE you're on LIVE for the ENTIRE level. Good luck OP

HIS NAME IS GHOST!!!!!!!

i recommend using a ghost the whole time

not a single bullet can leave your vehicle
My hog had a gunner and a passenger with a laser. They killed a almost everything. I got the achievement.

I did that 3 times in a row but no achievment.....i think microsoft just hates me.

At the beggining of the level you are given a Splazer. Head over to a warthog and give one marine the splazer and haver another get in the gunner seat then just drive through the level. But don't use the triggers. At all. For any reason. Ever.

That OR you can get a ghost and boost through the level. That also works but I found it easier with the marines helping me.

also use the ghost, its a smaller target and faster, you can boost in the ghost, dont worry thats what I did. you just cant honk the horn in the warthog

  • 03.13.2010 6:59 PM PDT

Honking the horn on the hog? charging the lazer? anything that involves using the right trigger or throwing nades disqualifies the achievement.

you can use the left trigger on the ghost and you can still splatter them.
