Subject: Are the new defiant achievements a joke?

It's the prestige that makes the illusion.

Yipie, 3 more achievements for the Defiant map pack.
How stupid can people be?!
Nobody plays on the Defiant map pack so how can i ever get the achievements?!

This morning i was searching for players and there were 94 players playing Defiant/Noble map pack.
I waited 30 min in the matchmaking lobby after 30 minutes i gave up., i'll never get those achievements.

C'mon when only 94 players worldwide play on a map pack you shouldn't make new achievements, that's the most dumb thing i ever experienced in my 8 years of halo gaming.

during daytime it's around 290 players worldwide, even that does take ages for 1 match.

Do you like the new defiant achievements?

PS: Bungie & 343 no offence but it's really ridiculous.

What's even funnier is that Premium is getting removed in the December update.

WHUT?
so we get achievements and then they delete the map packs to get it?
So actually we are all screwed and will never get those achievements?

IS THIS 2012?
C'mon what's happening to all the human minds?!

APPARENTLY, the matchmaking system will match those with DLC more frequently than before. Bungie said the exact same thing months ago and look at where were stuck in right now (DLC outside Premium? Blasphemy!)

DLC is still going to be extremely rare in any playlist now.

wow... looks like the game still going down hill.

I had a blast getting them, heaven forbid they make achievements where people cant get them immediately.

Dont get me wrong, making them map specific was a horrible idea and adding in 3 defiant achievements was equally stupid but for me, it made playing on those "rare gametypes" really enjoyable and really stressful but when you finally get its just like, BAM! I cant even begin to tell you in text how happy I was when I scored "Paper Beats Rock".

I don't know the "don't touch that" achievment was a pain, that one should have been score the flag in both rounds of a one flag CTF game. At least that way you would have had to play it properly rather than turning ever CTF game into a campe fest.

I agree completely. Its really unfortunate to look up and see all 5 of your teammates crowded around with every close-quarters combat weapon on the map but at the same time, how is that not the funniest thing ever. Everyone unified on a single idea, trying SO HARD to get one common goal. Talk about epic.

Thats mildly comparable to "From Hells Heart", in the sense that it kind of forces you to throw a games K/D (not that mine is worth defending) down the hole for that match seeing as you must get stuck and die. I had such a hard time because for YEARS ive been conditioned to roll and avoid grenades, now I must throw myself at them? BLASPHEMY!

the annoying thing about the achievements is the fact that you have to assassinate an enemy while they exit armor lock, and that is like the worst thing ever, unless there is someone stupid enough to give you an opening...

If I could change a few things in Reach, it would be....

*Get rid of yoinking and medal ( yoinking is retarded )
*Force Bungie to work again and get rid of 343's existence
* A few other things
