Subject: If Bungie's downsizing the playlists, how can people get achiev...

If you read, you know Bungie is cutting playlists out of Halo 3 in preparation for Reach(MLG FFA was the first to go I believe). They are also getting rid of Double XP Weekends the day Reach comes out.

Now there are some achievements that one can only be obtained by playing a certain playlist(almost all of these are FFA and that playlist is staying I bet). However, what about the two achievements "Zombie Repeller" and "Delicious Brains"? Though it doesn't specifically say an Infection game type is required, that's the only gametype to get those achievements(unless I'm mistaken; I could some clarity on this). The only playlist I find an Infection gametype is, well, the Infection Double XP Weekend. BUT, Bungie is getting rid of Double XP Weekends after Reach comes out!

So, my question is this. How can one obtain those achievements that can only be obtained in a playlist that will cease to exist? How could you get those after Reach comes out? I would like anybody with any knowledge to this matter to please share, such as another playlist those achivements could be obtained in? Any help/clarity would be appreciated.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Rumble Pit has infection.

I like Halo. Since you are reading this, you probably do too.

I just played Save One Bullet in the Rumble Pit.

Failed to get the achievements though. Darn.

Ok, I haven't played Rumble Pit to know that. Thanks! I wonder if that playlist will be kept though.... I would get those achievements ASAP, but I am currently out of XBox LIVE time. I am a nub.

I'm sure it'll be staying.

it does make it completely impossible to get the infection frenzy medal because there aren't enough people to kill 10 humans in one life

  • 08.09.2010 8:32 PM PDT

I hadn't thought of the medals. What variant could you get those in I wonder? I'm sorry, I don't play Infection much to pay attention.

Well the "Mmmm Brains" and "Hells Janitor" medals wouldn't be possible, but the others should be fine.

Of course I did read that they might merge playlists, so I guess we might see an Infection variants were one could obtain those medals inside the regular playlists.

Yeah, that's the one I need too. Team doubles refuses to show me Oddball on any DLC map though.

rumble pit has infection and mythic maps, you can still make these, but it will be a little harder, in rumble pit the chances of infection is...8% Braaaains and 4% save one bullet

  • 08.10.2010 9:27 AM PDT

Jeez. The probability of getting those gametypes is slim. I also heard they weren't adding any playlists, but maybe they will make a playlist specifically to get the achievements. It would be full of gametypes that generally have a low probability of getting selected in others.

I heard they were putting all the Double EXP weekend playlist together on the last weekend as a send off.

I know dude! I'm a bit of a perfectionist/completest; I have to have everything or get it at least once.
