Subject: "Save This Film" is the bane of my Halo 3 career.

I don't want to be in your clans so stop messaging me >.<

After the somewhat recent (like a month ago) announcement that some achievements from Halo 3 and ODST earn you an armor permutation(s) in Reach, I've been playing through the two games lately trying to finish up all of the achievements.

After much frustration, I'm down to the most frustrating achievement of them all, "Save This Film". During the course of my "trials" in trying to earn this achievement, half the games I play are not slayer, every other game I play has several teammates drop out, I get paired with awful players against what appears to be chuck norris playing with 4 controllers (with his beard of course), I played one game where people were standing still and got to 14 kills but my teammates wouldn't let me get the last one, a similar game where I was killed by a really good player who then quit and the rest stood still.

In short, it's sucked.

Thing is, I feel like it's getting me frustrated and ruining the game for me. But at the same time, I feel like I can't play anything else until this one achievement is out of the way. All the friends I used to play with haven't been on much lately, so this achievement has been torture trying to get it alone.

What kind of troubles have you guys gone through who has also tried for this achievement? Does anyone else find it as difficult as I do? Does anyone have any valuable tips for someone undergoing this challenge? And if anyone else is going through the same crap I am with this, feel free to send me a message, my gamertag is silentshadowxp, I'll unfortunately be torturing myself with this achievement the rest of the night and could use the company lol.

tl;dr. Sounds like a rant too. Anyway, join the club. The highest real(and by real I mean minus Griffball and Zombies) is a Running Riot.

just hang back at the start of games, but if you didnt get more than 14 kills against guys standing still then maybe get a team to help you out with the achievement

For the record, I would tap that like like it was put-put golf. Like a college student opening a beer keg. Like a phone in the cold war. Like an oil company in a nature reserve. Like a goddamn telegraph.

Seriously though, I'm fine with experimenting

Are you in the Team Mythic Playlist?

Try Action Sack too. I really don't mind whether or not I have it, and I wouldn't want to torture myself with it. I know people who've just boosted for it, which really isn't the way to play the game.

My friend got a Perfection, but, sadly, it was on Guardian. The way he got it was having me and our teammate run out taking all the bullets, while he sniped everyone. Have you tried something like that yet?

-Whore rocket tower on Assembly
-BR people from towers on Sandbox in AR starts
-Get a friend to drive you around Sandbox in a Warthog (make sure the other team is really bad)
-Clean up kills/kill steal on Orbital

BR people whenever you can and don't EVER go close-quarters. I got mine with the first method. When someone comes up the lift, BAM! Just watch out for the power cores behind you. Keep a low profile. If someone spams grenades, hide in the little passageways on the sides. A host change causes all weapons to respawn so keep those rockets stocked.

Remember:
-It must be a Slayer game, on one of the 6 Mythic maps, and your team has to win the game.
-Host changes will not stop you from getting a perfection, they will just end your killing spree.
-Really the guaranteed way is to gather 3 friends who are decent at Halo and tell them to protect you.

Good Luck.

I almost got it today on Citadel. We were playing against some pretty bad players and two of my buddies who were in the game softened them up so I could get the kills. If you have some friends, make them stick close and weaken foes and protect you at times; you should be able to get it. AFK and bad players make it a heck of a lot easier.

And I'm actually kind of surprised to hear that action sack is an easy place to get it, I rarely find any slayer games in that playlist.

Sadly I am trying to get my last two achievements also, 2 4 1 and the dreaded perfection. I am going for the 2 4 1 first since its been almost 3 years now and still havent gotten it.

I see so many problems with the perfection so saving that one last for all the frustrations that will ensue.

Seems the easiest way, IMO, is to stand on the bases on sandbox and pick people off with a br/carbine. You can get away pretty easily and see the whole map to shoot.

..... Testicles, that is all.

Some people find it easier this way

I'm trying to get the achievement too. I'll try to remember to send you a message about it since I doubt I can do it solo. My GT is HEBushido.

Two For One is the most retarded achievement in the history of Halo I don't care what you say.

Team Mythic, Sandbox Team Slayer. Stay in the back of your base let your teammates lower opponents for you. Profit.

I feel your pain. Every time I go for it something screws me over. My last game on Sandbox Slayer I went 12-14-0. I had more assists than kills.

I also went 16-1 in the same gametype. The 1 death was because it was so laggy I fired a rocket at a hog and it somehow hit a wall that was 10 feet from my left and killed me.

Another game I went 16-0, but my team was so bad we lost and I still didn't get it. Even going 16-0 I had two guys on my team go -11 and -12. Along with all the other baddies dying over and over...

It's really starting to piss me off.

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

I was a little bit lucky when I got mine. It was a 3v3 on Sandbox, one guy on the other team wasn't playing and my teammates weren't that great which allowed me to get the required kills.

Here it is.

By looking at the game viewer you can see that I never moved off of my base. I just stood back safely close to cover the whole time. Once I got the 15th kill I hid at our Missile Pod for the rest of the game.
