"...in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won..." - Sun Tzu

After about 3 years or so of playing Halo 3, I am still left with only one achievement to unlock... 2 for 1. That is, getting a double kill with the spartan laser on lone wolfs.

My question is, does anyone know if it is still possible? I tried each day this week for a couple of games per day, but the laser has been removed from just about every gametype and map or there are only 4 players in a game.

Construct, High Ground, and possibly Snowbound have them. I remember they took it away from Snowbound a couple years ago, but I don't know if they changed that back or not.

Snowbound does not have it. Or at least not in slayer. It has been replaced with a covie sniper

A good tip for getting this on High Ground is to grab the laser then jump down run through cave (behind bunker) and make your way on top of the cliff. A lot of times you'll catch people spawning beach fighting one another. Keep an eye out for people goosing together too. Believe it or not it happens.

On Construct everyone usually forgets about the Laser so it's easier to pick up. Grab it and up either purple lift and CAMP top lift. Watch for people fighting at the big lift.

Of course there's a lot of lucked involved it getting this achievement. First, you've got to be lucky enough to actually get Construct or Highgroud. Gaurdian gets picked a lot. Secondly, even if you do get either map you'll have to fight off other players going for Laser and even if you do grab it killing 2 people with one shot is tough.

Not only is it tough to get those maps to pop up, its also difficult to get a game of more than 3 or 4 people since the H3 community is slowly getting smaller.

since th game's release it was hard to get that achievement, it must be near impossible to get it now. im in the same boat as u r, sorry buddy!

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

I got extremely lucky one day to get it. I wasn't even trying, and on a game of action sack I got Snipers/Lasers whatever the official thing is called. I turned a corner with my laser already primed (a good strategy, just keep charging it without firing) and saw two people charging THEIR lasers at each others faces. Mine was ready to go, and I got both of them in one go, At first I was just happy for the double, but then it gave me the screen bubble, and I remembered I had gotten one of the near-impossible achievements.

And that's my Two-For-One story...

The 2-4-1 has to be done in ranked FFA, so im sorry but you didnt get it in action sack lol. I got lucky and got mine in Mythic brawl, ive actually done it a few times in mythic brawl, that would of been the easiest playlist but not anymore :(
