Subject: 2 for 1 achievement = driving me insane

Please change this achievement so that we can complete it in rumble pit with a party.

I just spent 2 hours idle/afk in the Lone Wolves playlist trying to get it. Games that only have 2 or 3 other people in it and some of them are away point boosting. Only once the entire time playing did a map with a laser on it even come up.

I want to finish up 100/100 for Halo3 and this is upsetting trying to get. It's not even a question of skill, the opportunities to do it are so slim now.

Please PLEASE PLEASE CHANGE IT TO RUMBLE PIT.

LOL do you really think Bungie is going to change something in a 3.5 year old dead game just so people can cheat?

Get it legit. There's no point in having 100 percent completion when you don't have the sense of accomplishment.

How is it cheating if he wants it to be done in another place? I must be missing something.

Just wait for the right time to laser someone hijacking a ghost. Trust me, this achievement is easy.

Just play lone wolves.
Snowbound comes up a lot and there's a laser on it.

Boundless begs to differ.

He wants to be able to get it in Rumble pit so he can just get a bunch of his friends to go in as a full party with him, then let him laser them for the achievement. It's cheating.

i agree with frasier crane, bungie doesn't care about halo 3 anymore, so what u say is useless. They wont change it, and it i sa shame they dont cause it is very annoying. Just create a xbox live party (warning! not halo 3 party) go into matchmaking and lone wolves playlist and hopefully, use will meet in the same game manually

  • 05.30.2011 1:56 PM PDT

I'll help you.

  • 05.30.2011 1:58 PM PDT

uhh how can you help me? we can't have parties in lone wolves.

Like I said, the major problem is the time investment involved and it's not even a matter of skill. Boundless only came up once. When it came up I asked in voice if anyone would help me get it, but 2 guys didn't say anything and the 4th guy was AFK jumping in a corner. I got the laser twice during the match but how am I going to line up the only other 2 dudes playing on the map for a double shot kill? I tried to just hide in a corner and wait for them to fight each other but they were BRing each other from across the map.

2 hours in lone wolves and boundless only came up once.

Like I said, I'd rather be having fun playing Reach than going back and doing this achievement.

This is a very tough cheevo for allot of ppl, so don't feel too bad. As for the time investment I agree it is pretty steep, but what other choice do you have? Snowbound is your best bet, either catch someone boarding someone else on the ghost or head down to the cave. It used to be that allot of ppl would head down to the cave for battle, but I dunno anymore. I haven't been on lone wolves forever.

I'm still struggling with STF. My last H3 achievement.

Check the 2 for 1 vid on my file share for reference. I was totally lucky and never even saw the 2nd guy approaching.

I couldn't disagree with you more. This is one of the few H3 achievements that has consistently eluded me.

Don't try and make your opinions facts, they're not.

Worst case scenario, you could language boost with 2 other people.

Or wait for High Ground Slayer, camp the Laser spawn with the Laser, and wait for a Ghost being hijacked or a mongoose with 2 people on it to go by.

Death to rank junkies.

Wait for someone to try to hijack a ghost. If you fire soon enough, you'll kill them both.

  • 06.02.2011 8:06 AM PDT

ill language boost with you if you want
