Subject: Overkill achievement is freaking impossible to earn

Why does Lone Wolves have to be the only playlist it must be earned in? Swords matches come along once in a blue moon, and it only takes one quitter to make it that much harder to pull off... I want the Commando helmet but its bugging me trying to get this.

Anyone have any good tips or advice for earning this one? Thanks.

If we were winning, we could be winning.

Yeah I wish those didn't have to be in only lone wolves, I'll probably never get the two for one now :|

i think the reason why Bungie only made so you can only earn it on lone wolves was to try and stop people Boosting for it and yes it is hard to get hope i helped

Hey.

Both oddball and Crazy King are great opportunities too. If you'd like a little better luck you could try and wait for Mythic Brawl to come back.

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

If you try getting it in Oddball and King of the Hill games this achievement isn't very hard... or if you are decent with a sword.

Unless you are new to Halo, you missed out on the easiest chance to get this achievement when Bungie had Ranked Living Dead.

living dead is also the easiest way to level via exp

I got mine with the Rocket Laucher on Foundry.

Since it is so powerful the hardest part is just finding four people very quickly.

Its not impossible just keep trying like I have. The closest I got to it was Crazy King on The Pit, just hop on the turret and kill the people going for the points. Remember, the hills go in order for the most part.

(looking from sword to rockets) If the hill is at its original starting place, it will move to one side or the other. From there it will move to one or two places, this is your opening, before the hill moves from the second spot, move to the other turret (if you were by the hill, otherwise stay there), doing this will mess with the other people, thinking you gave up. The hill moves to the other side or underneath sword, and before you know it your racking up sprees and multikills like its your job.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

I stayed at my friends house last night and got every single lone wolves achievment in the game for him.

Proof

It's not impossible, it just takes skill, luck, and timing.

It really is Swords on Guardian/Epitaph.
I had to start a new gold account a few days ago.
Within the first few games I had that achievement.
Switch to boxer control settings (which I use all of the time) and only swing with the left trigger.
It swings a lot faster and on those two confined levels you can get 4 or 5 kills back to back pretty easily since everyone tends to be in the same spot in Swords.

i can get it easily. all you have to do is forge one respawn point and make respawn time 3 seconds and keep slashin them down

Thnx for the awesome sig Smyf!

and now it is my duty to completely drain you

any lone wolves game, especially an objective game on guardian, epitaph, foundry, blackout, or construct can lead to pretty easy overkills.

"It is not a goal, but a process. The process of creating the perfect world."

Too bad you did't get one in Ranked Living Dead.
You best hope is that one of the last few DBL XP weekends is Mythic Brawl. Beyond that, try getting it by standing back and picking off people in King of the Hill on Lone Wolves.
