Subject: Best and Worst Moments of the Vidmasters

Post your best and worst moments of the Vidmaster Challenges here.

My best moment was when doing Endure, on the last wave of the 2nd round on the fourth set, is down to one of my friends. His mic was broken, so all you could hear was everyone else yelling. He was running all over the place swapping weapons and killing brutes. It was epic.

My worst moment was during Annual. I don't know why, but my friends sucked at driving ghosts. We were at the end, we did the final jump, and one of us died right before we made it. The cutscene started, and then it got interrupted and sent us back to the last checkpoint. WTF? That added at least another half hour to the challenge.
Also, during Annual it started lagging. Nobody lagged out, but the lag did get annoying. The whole time my dad was also sending me messages from xbox.com.

Endure:

Me and 3 friends were in the last round when all of sudden it started to lag horribly.
We didn't know why at first but it turned out that one of my friends' brother was using his laptop to go on Facebook.
It was kind of funny actually. My friend was yelling at his brother "GTFO Facebook, man! You are making it lag!" They got into an argument while me and my other friends were in a frozen screen. After a minute we all lagged out.

"Don't touch that. We don't know where you've been."

I haven't done them all (hard to gather dedicated people), but Vidmaster Annual was an ordeal for me. I must have made nearly two dozen attempts at getting it before I finally got it, all of which were foiled by drop-outs, or people who couldn't be bothered to see it through.

Worst - Endure (not very well at all)
We were on the 2nd set (took us nearly an hour) then we were moving on quite well, up to the 3rd wave of the 3rd round, and one of the guys said 'I gotta go have dinner, I'll be back in ten'
so we all said ok, be quick. 15 minutes later, he's still not back yet, his mic disconnects and it ends the game, and we nearly got to the 4th round of the 2nd set in less then an hour and a half :/

Best - Classic
I was with my friend, and we were on my Xbox, and I looked to see if I could get any achievements, and I came across Classic, and I wondered if that meant no melee or splatters, so I looked on the internet and i found out you could splatter/melee, so I looked for a level that would be easy to do that on, and I found Uplift Reserve, because of so many vehicles, so I camped behind the flipped Warthog at first, two minutes later I was splattering everything. It took me around 15 minutes ;)

All it took was a stew of whoopass.

Best moment was completing Deja Vu. Worst moment is the first (second?) drone part in Deja Vu. I kept lagging out at that prt, so I had to stay back and watch the other three players fight from afar. (We still didn't complete it)

There are worse parts, but I'd like to not remember them.

Can't win an arguement?
Correct their grammer instead

worst
my team mates rushing in annual and driving ghost off when i was about to finish

  • 08.14.2010 8:04 AM PDT

Wow, not a lot of people have best moments.

Worst: Deja Vu

My friend and I decided to do some achievements and decided on Deja Vu. Hmm, 4 people. Now who's on? Damn only 1 other. We knew the guy from school, we were friends with him but not close. We also got my sister to, reluctantly, play because we were impatient.

What followed was two hours of hell. My sister couldn't drive without crashing so she I had to. My mongoose did well, considering. It wasn't the constant dying that was worst. It was the guy we invited. His matchmaking skill was higher than ours by a significant margin but he wasn't better. I found out he was also the most arrogant guy I have ever met. These two things led him to charge, ahead constantly mocking our ability, while being killed just as much if not more. When we finished my friend and I decided that we would never play with him again. I recently removed him because, hey, if I don't like him and will never play with him why have him on my friends list.

I didn't really enjoy any vidmaster and still have more to do but I guess there has to be a best so I'd say Classic.

One time we tried to do it and one of our friends had to let his nephew play. His nephew, I believe, was around five. You can see the problem. We got team-killed so many times that everyone quit.
Also, one time we all started betraying each other because we all wanted to ride with the best driver. For some reason it sent us back to an earlier checkpoint. WTF?

Annual has always been the funnest Vidmaster to do for myself and others. I just can't help laughing when the floor falls below their feet, they drive off the edge, or get taken out by a tile on the final run.

The worst moment would have to be when helping people to get Endure and then somebody lags out, or the game takes you back to the lobby for unknown reasons. And then people start to get angry with each other and the game. :S

best:endure

got it on my first try

worst:annual

the achievement glitch and didnt give me the achievement

ps. is there anyway i can ask for it because it glitched?

  • 08.14.2010 9:03 AM PDT

The best memory I have of a Vidmaster achievement is getting Endure. It was relatively easy because we used Choppers on Lost Platoon, but there was one person who died somewhere in the 20s of times. Still, we got it done and the sense of accomplishment, as well as the insane nervousness when the game hiccuped in the 4th set, all made it epic.

The worst memory I have is in Deja Vu. One of the brothers of one of the friends I had was playing and continuously betrayed us, ran out into the open and died, or simply didn't try for a good 45 minutes of the challenge. It was annoying, especially because we were trying to get the achievement for him and some other guy. We finally did get it eventually, but we did not play with him for a while afterwards.

Worst: Playing with a friend to help him get Endure, The guy invites me and two other friends, We start, Get to Set 4, Round 3 Wave 4 and we all die (The two others sucked mostly and died, And I alone against 2 Fuel Rod Chieftains, Stealth Brutes and a Gravity Hammer Chieftain with only a SSMG And Laser, Not happening)And the Party Leader A.K.A The guy who desperately wanted Recon who invited us all had camped in one spawn point, Put barrels and a crate around him and had stopped playing since Set 1 Round 2 Wave 4, Seriously, Then 1 of us 3 finally ended it.

Best: Helping friend and his friend get Annual, 3rd Time I had done this and so I got my brother, My friend's friend died once, My friend followed his death path after it reverted, Meaning me and my brother didn't die once, And it was in under 45 Minutes :)

  • 08.14.2010 9:14 AM PDT

Best moments: Compleating them and discovering that doing Annual is fun.

Worst moments: Dieing and/or messing up at the same area over and over again.

My best moment was when I completed Uplift Reserve on SLASO (would have been Mythic but I died a few times initially, forcing me to restart because of Iron) and got Vidmaster Classic.

Replace the fuel rods with grav hammers, and that's about what my friend fought solo. It was insane. Also, change the weapons. He had an smg and a grav hammer.

That was me...

Before I switched over to SHAW for my XBOX Live internet connection, if anyone used the phone in my house, it would disconnect me.

Don't have that problem anymore now that I've switched ISPs to a company that ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD SERVICE [aka NOT MTS*** internet]

BTW Endure is made of the blood and guts of crushed newborn babies.

Who'd win, a Spartan, or a Space Marine?

Best: Classic. Something about doing something neat on your own.

Worst: 7 on 7. I got started in Halo 3 late, so my xp was pretty low. I had thought double xp weekends end on mondays, since they started on thursday. Played a ton of grifball, got to 42 xp, then kept getting matched with people who thought it was funny to just betray the team the whole time. Decided I'd get it in the morning. Ooops.

Mythic Brawl comes around, and I have the TV to myself from Thursday until Sunday afternoon. Well, I used all that time because those maps are just not made for FFA games with that many people. It was hell. Just about quit playing Halo 3 entirely if it wasn't for the fact that I still wanted to 100% it.
