Subject: DLC Achievements... Again

Hi all, especially those interested in achievements and even more so those who are interested in completion score. I went on xbox.com, viewed my games list and noticed new achievements for Reach, Now I saw this as both good and bad news as 3 of the new achievements are still to do with the Defiant map pack.

The defiant map pack is a piece of content I thought I was finished with achievement wise but these new ones have got me wondering, before I put Halo: Reach back into my hard drive and hit the play game button, I would like to know if it will add the achievements for 1. The Anniversary pack (Which I think it won't as I dont have it yet) and 2. The new defiant map pack achievements which I still own (Duh).

I don't want to go back on Reach to do my casual forging and custom games if it will NOT count as a Completed game anymore, I am sick of games that do this, the first being Resident Evil 5 where I had the original 1000G and then DLC ruined it and I refuse to buy the versus mode for it to complete it as the "DLC" is on the disc.

Abbreviated version: If I go back on Reach will it add new achievements due to me owning the Defiant Maps?

Please...stop getting butthurt when I noscope you from the passenger seat of the vehicle I'm riding in :D

It doesn't just "add them". It's there for everybody. You just can't earn the new achievements unless you own the Anniversary maps as well, I do believe. They must be done on the map pack it says as well. So no, I don't think you can even do the Defiant ones unless you own Anniversary.

Edit: Question to OP, why don't you people just try these things out for yourselves before posting these threads? Honestly it'd take like 2 games to actually achieve doing one of these achievements.

Well if you read my post I was asking whether or not the achievements get added when I put in the game and play it, my concern was that it would as I have the defiant map pack and didnt want to go on the game in case it screwed my completion score...again. Furthermore, I dont play Reach online anymore, people have moved on to other games, I still come on to forge and custom like I previously stated and I dont want to be FORCED to play for achievement if I dont want to.

Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

343 are if these achievements get added to my profile if I put the game in. I have a problem, I'm a completionist and there are many like me. If these cheevos get added then I have to get them, whether I want them or not.

I don't believe that you have to play on the new maps just to get the achievements. Half of the defiant achievements I got were on the default maps.

Then get them and stop your whinging and complaining.

FFS people complain about anything these days.

I had the original 1000 for RE5 also but havnt quite got all the vs mode ones coz I havnt got around to it. I also need to get around to finishing off a couple to get the full 1000 on Re5 PC as it has no dlc.
If you cbf doing it or refuse to buy it then thats your own problem.

Also only having 1000 when theres more than 1000 isnt complete is it?
