Subject: I strongly dislike this Endure achievement... anyone feel the same?

I suppose this could just be considered spam... but I'll vent anyway. And before anyone jumps to conclusions, don't think I'm ranting about firefight. firefight is really fun and a great way to pass time, as is this achievement. my only complaint (which isn't even too much of a complaint once I think about it) is poor network conditions. that's all.

I was just in firefight with 3 other excellent players. By the end of the second set all of us had only died 2-3 times each, and we have 15+ extra lives. put simply, we're doing perfectly well.

none of us are having any connection problems, all of us connect just fine to the host. then suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge lag sweeps by us and kicks one of us out of the game. All our progress towards our final achievement needed for recon was wiped away like nothing.

this has happened to me two times, and I don't want to risk wasting another hour or two of my life only to end up with the same result..

I really strongly dislike this achievement. It's pretty cheap that there's no sort of 'saved progress' kind of thing that automatically saves any progress if the server notices someone's connection is poor and may lag out.

Don't get me wrong - Halo and its entire franchise is perhaps the greatest game there is. It's just I had to vent about my problem.

Has anyone else here experienced the same thing? It sucks, doesn't it? =?

"Forward in the fight for World Domination"

Endure actually is an awesome, fun, challenging achievement, go play gow or cod in easy noob.

i found it quite fun but annoying if you are connected to a person with bad connection or a person that cant play well cause then you might lag out or loose 2 many lives. happened 2 times for me got it on 3rd. still enjoyed it though :)

I enjoy firefight. and yes, the Endure achievement's fun. It's just, like the other guy said, it gets a bit annoying if you're partied up with someone with a bad connection.If you lag out or get kicked out of a game it doesn't mean you suck. So as you see, I wasn't even complaining about it being too challenging. It's not even a challenge tbh...

I've played GOW and I've played COD, but nothing beats Halo. I've completed Halo 3 and ODST on legendary by myself so I don't even suck. stop trying to start -blam!- you know nothing about, and try reading and understand what someone says before you jump to conclusions.

To be honest, Legendary isn't that Hard in campaign.
Gets annoying in firefight though.

yeah it really isn't.. haha. but it does at least require a certain degree of skill... or knowledge of the controls at the least.anyone with one of the two can't suck. haha

Make sure you and everyone else playing are pimping out their network connections. Then, it is a lot of fun.

Non Nobis Nascimur - We are not born for ourselves.

When I did Endure, it was just me and my friend with two "guests" signed in. Didn't have any connection problems at all with the exception of a lag spike every now and then.
