Subject: Issues with Anniversary Achievements

Anyone else having issues with the new Reach achievements that comes with the Anniversary maps? I got the achievement for splattering 5 enemies in one game last night, yet when I look on Bungie.net this morning it says I have the achievement for killing an opponent with his own plasma grenade. Odd.

Update: I go on X-Box Live website and its the correct achievement. Guess its a Bungie.net bug.

No they all work, you are just not reading the whole thing. Look at what map pack you have to do The achievement in before declaring them broken.

... because they do them on the wrong maps....

They are doing Defiant achievements on Anniversary maps. That is all.

I hate the new achievements. They work, but it has to be exactly the right scenario and, what's worse, exactly the right map.

Yesterday I was shooting some guy and he stuck me in CQC. Excitedly I ran up to him and died anxious to hear the achievement pop up. Instead, nothing because I guess you have to cause it to be a suicide? That is absurd...

Another achievement needs you to satisfy a bunch of extremely lucky scenarios to obtain it:
1) You must be in Team Objective/Premium Battle (two of the lowest populated lists in Reach)
2) You have to all have Defiant for DLC
3) 1-Flag must appear
4) 1-Flag must be voted for
5) The other team must be bad enough, despite voting for this and being in this playlist, to not be able to touch the flag even once in both offenses they have

How likely is any of that? What's more is it's pretty likely the only map this will work on is Condemned and that's a small enough map to where if a team really half tries to touch the flag, they will... The new achievements suck.

@ An average gamer


Totally agreed. And the worst 2 I think are assasinate a guy who comes out of armor lock, which is actually next to impossible and luck based unless the guy armor locking is a total retard, and collecting 10 skulls in headhunter. First you need people to actually VOTE for headhunter which is actually the hardest part. These achievements are just encouraging people to boost them.

Not hard to get 1 Flag. Premium Battle has 1 Flag on Breakpoint all the time. Also 1 Flag on Condemned and Tempest. I did the Achievement specs on 1 Flag on Hang 'em High, but didn't get it because it's Defiant. It's not that hard to do at all.

BTW, the Achievement descriptions are borked on Bnet. It shows wrong achievements unlocked, but the correct GS points you got from your achievement you earned.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Agreed. They aren't so much achievements as they are nit-picky scenarios that require a lot of luck/bravado.

Jorge: Bad news is: timer's fried, gonna have to fire it manually.
Noble 6: That's a one way trip...
Jorge: We all make it sooner or later. Better get going, Six, they're gonna need you down there. Listen, Reach has been good to me, it's time to return the favor. Don't deny me this... Tell em' to make it count.

WELL, THAT'S HALO ONLINE FOR YOU.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

For some reason I was possessed to try for the infection achievements. They're kind of pointless, considering only some default maps are in LD.
