Subject: Alas poor Yorick achievement.

With Halo: Reach coming up in just two weeks, I've decided to finish up my Halo 3 achievements. With only a few remaining I've chosen "Alas, poor Yorick". Being less than fanatical about oddball, I normally veto oddball game types. As such, I haven't the slightest clue as to what playlist I should play in order to give me the best chances of getting an oddball game on a Legendary map.

If anyone can give me suggestions for what playlists to use or point me towards an up-to-date playlist listing (one that details the percentages on how often gametypes and maps appear, I know I've seen one before) then it would be greatly appreciated.

Halo no longer has that chess kind of approach on it where two teams battle for map control, working together to outplay the other team.Its now a bunch of sugar rushed ten year old's playing soccom boppers at 12:00 AM.

try team mythic,social skirmish or team dubs,not sure about what other playlists have oddball

Can't win an arguement?
Correct their grammer instead

3 ball is the easiest

It is, but I don't think it will be coming back anytime soon. So just try team mythic. I would imgine that playlist would be the most likely one for you to get the achievement.

I'd go for Social Skirmish.

  • 09.01.2010 6:22 AM PDT

Oh man that sucks, you just missed 3-ball a couple weeks ago.

  • 09.01.2010 7:20 AM PDT

So you heard I slayed a Balrog?

I can't even remember the last time I played Team Oddball on a Legendary map in social skirmish. I experience Oddball on Blackout and Ghost Town most often in Rumble Pit. That's where I would search.

oddball doesn't come up in team mythic it does come up in social skirmish tho, and don't forget u can get the achievement by doing it on a mythic map too

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 is your freind for this.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Try Social Skirmish or Rumble Pit..I actualy got it on the map Black Out, pure luck, Rumble Pit oddball.

  • 09.01.2010 9:19 AM PDT

Go Reach.

I remember this one :)
I've got it twice, on Blackout both times (two different accs, one was my sister's)

From the top of the lift thing on Blackout, go straight until you're at the middle of the main platform then go left into the building and wait in the corner to the left right inside of the building, that's where I got it both times :D

Yep thats when I got mine.

BANOOSH

I got this achievement (by accident) in a Lone Wolves game. (ew.)
A few weeks ago was the last time I played LW, and there's a fair bit of oddball in there.
