Subject: 79 Halo 3 Achievements In 18 Days?

Halo Reach is coming out in just under 18 days and I've decided to set myself a really hard challenge by trying to get all 79 Halo 3 achievements on this new account before Reach comes out. The chances are, I probaly won't be able to do it, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I started yesterday by beginning the campaign on legendary and plan to finish the campaign tomorrow. Then, I'll move onto the skulls, then to the campaign scoring, then to the lone wolves, then to team mythic, and then to vidmasters. I'll let you know how I get on.

It's not too hard. Remember to not boost them or else they won't count.

  • 08.26.2010 8:51 PM PDT

I'm definetly not going to boost. On my previous account, I've had every achievement without boosting, took me a few years though.

Good luck bro, but why did you make a new account?! Without it, the memory of Halo2(if you played it) will be lost! You wouldnt get the emblem for your gt!

i havnt cheated on any of my achievements. but just wondering... how would they know if you cheated? assuming you didnt modify any thing

  • 08.26.2010 9:08 PM PDT

I didn't play Halo 2 online, played it to death offline though. Same with Halo 1. I'm thirteen and have been playing Halo for 8 years when I got my original Xbox.

In it for the lulz... and gamerscore

Good luck with the achievements, OP. I only recently resumed my achievement-hunting in H3. I thought the campaign scoring would be difficult, but it was just time-consuming. I played solo, normal, and with tilt, fog, tough luck, and famine skulls on. Take advantage of this weekend's DEXP, I finally got Mongoose Mowdown today! If I were you, I would focus on playing just Mythic Brawl this weekend to get the maximum achievements while you have the chance in the special playlist.
I wish you the best of luck. I personally don't think it's possible... too many random events of luck, especially two for one, mongoose mowdown, and yorick, not to mention save this film and have fun respawning. I wanna know how this turns out.

Seriously good luck. It took me at least two years, can't really remember, to get all 79. The hardest ones will be a slew of the following....

Overkill
Two for One
Have Fun Respawning
Steppin' Razor
Save this Film

Each of these achievements present certain intangibles that don't require skill, but rather luck. In a six man FFA style gametype Overkill requires a group of idiots to continuously run at you while you have the advantage in some way, and the rest require some pretty stupid gameplay on the parts of your opponents.

I salute you, and good luck.

Depends on whether you take your time or not, most modded achievements show up as "competed offline"

In case you were wondering... You only get the "Halo" and "Halo 1" Reach flair if you have Halo 1 for PC. You have to input your disk code. They do not track who played Halo C.E. on XBC.

Boosting achievements isn't cheating, to the ones who say it is. but by boosting achievements you are exp boosting know.

Two for one is easier to get then most people think. On High Ground or Snowbound, keep an eye on the guy in the ghost and wait for him to get boarded. Then laser the ghost and you should get both players. Mongoose mowdown is easy aswell, you just have to run someone over when they're in combat. Overkills aren't a problem for me. And extermination/killtacular I can get in an action sack griffball game. Perfection isn't that hard either when you get four players on the same Xbox who don't play well.

I completed Halo 3 on legendary a few hours ago, I'm going for the skulls next, then campaign scoring. Then I'll have around two weeks for multiplayer.

That inst very difficult, unless you have celeberal palsy.

  • 08.27.2010 8:23 PM PDT

Alas poor Yorick is easy, I got it in team doubles oddball. My friend and I camped on blackout and let them get close enough to me to get 3 beatdowns while he covered me.

Oh, I forgot to add bulltrue, extermination and killtacular to the list. You could potentially get them all in 1 griffball game.

Aside from a few like the Perfection and Extermination achievements, the rest should be cake.
