I am a pretty big fan of the achievements system, I love the concept, before it I had to show friends the saves or in game medals/awards for proof, now they can look anytime they want to and see what I have done.

My only gripe is when they have awards for #1 or a top 10 achievement for the leader boards. I am not "that" good, so when I cannot get my 1000/1000 on a game I get kinda bummed out. But its cool, I understand its there for the eliete players.

I was just wondering what everyone would be looking forwards to in the way of achievemsnts for Halo 3.

We know they will have 1000 points to mess with (retail game average = not arcade)
So lets say:
10 for beating the game on easy
15 for beating it on normal
25 for beating it on Hard
50 for beating it on Legendary TOTALING 100 points
10 points for 1000 kills, 15 for 5000, 25 for 10,000 = 50
10 points for 100 flag caps, 15 for 500 and 25 for 1000 (repeat for bomb plants, splatters, jacks, beatdowns and vehicle destrutions, sniper headshots, sticks, double kills)=450
10 for 50 triples, 15 for 100 triples, 25 for 250=50
10 for 25 killtaculars 15 for 50, 25 for 100=50


Well you get the idea, I hit the basics.


I am really hoping to hear more ideas that are original. Post em up!

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

And record system like ion the conflict games wouldnt be bad,

What missions have you completed?
How Many times have you completed them?
What difficulty was it on each time?
How many Kills in total?
How Many Head shots?
How Many Stealth Kills?


All would be awsome for record keeping in single player mode.

I noticed that everyone wants a really high kill count, I was kind of hoping for the same thing, if its too low it will be beaten rather easily. I am glad to see people want the high counts too.

I would like to add to what others would like.
BTW these wouls all be only in ranked matches online like all the multiplayer achievements should be cause it would be just too easy for people to get together for a mega lame several hours in a custom game and get all of them.

1000 Double kills
400 triple kills
100 kiltaculars
1000 sticks
1000 killing sprees
400 running riots
and maybe some new medals added to Halo 3

Some higher and harder ones just for fun with no points awarded so in time everyone could get their points and the elite can still have some achievements others dont have or can't get and it will only be for bragging rights. I would also like to see the stats at bungee.net keep track of how many of each metal you have earned in total.

I am all for it taking you 6+ months to get your achievements cause some of these games you can get 1000 points in just a few days and/or cheat to get them. anyway that is my 2 cents worth. Flame on

What ever they do, the achievments should not be accumulation-based. Literally anyone, no matter how terrible, could get "100 kils!" if they play long enough, no skill involved.

However, all Multiplayer achievements should be secret, both to discourage cheating to get them, and so it's a surprise when you do get one.

I've already made a post like this a few weeks ago.And whoever said that 32-64 CTF would be good for H3,thats pretty stupid,a game like Battlefield 2 on the PC can pull it off,but Halo 3,No way.No console game is good for online multiplayer more than 24 players.Look how Delta Force Black Hawk Down turned out.

I've said it before and I'm saying it again: Legendary, non-stop without dying a single time.

I do know what I don't want; Achievements like you get in GRAW where you have to become #1 on the Leaderboards. That only encourages cheating, and 99.99% of the community will never have a chance to get it.

I think that PDZ does a pretty good job of spreading the Achievemnts out across both SP and MP, so you are forced to really try out everything if you want to get those 1000 GPs.

So maybe:
-Finished the Campaign on Easy, Medium, Hard, Legendary

-Found all the x (some kind of easter egg?)

-100/1.000/10.000 Kills, Headshot Kills, Grenade Kills and so on. Yes everybody can get them. But I think that anybody willing to invest that kind of time needed to rack these up deserves to tget the Achievement.

-10/50/100 Flags Captured/ Zones Held and so on.

Wrapping it up, I am a fan of Achievemnts anybody can get if he is willing to take the time to get good in the game, and play for a while.

Multiplayer achievements are just incentive to cheat. :(

There should be a big amount of kill achivements for the sniper or Assualt Rifle, like up to 100,000, or even 1,000,000 kills for each. Because I know if you put it up to like 1000 i will have that many kills by the end of the first day Halo 3 is out, so im talking a large amount on the kill factor. Maybe like 5,000 double kills and what not. And then like the beating the game on co-op on the different difficultys, and same thing on single player. And like 100/1000 flag captures, 100/1000 bomb plantings, for 30 points each. Cause the max you can have in the game is 2000. And like 100 splatters, and well i hope your catching on to what I am saying.

One thing is for sure, there should be a lot of achievements. I hate these games that have a -blam!- amount of achievements. Here's a good list:

Campaign:

- Completing each level in Heroic Mode
- Completing each level in Legendary Mode
- Completing a level without dying
- Completing a level without one of your Marines dying
- Completing a level with a 50% or better accuracy
- Finding each Easter egg
- Finding every Easter egg

Multiplayer:

- 1000 kills
- 10000 kills
- 100000 kills
- 100 flag captures
- 1000 flag captures
- 100 bombs armed
- 1000 bombs armed
- 100 flag saves
- 1000 flag saves
- 100 bomb carriers killed
- 1000 bomb carriers killed
- 3600 seconds with the ball
- 216000 seconds with the ball
- 3600 seconds as King of the Hill
- 216000 seconds as King of the Hill
- 100 assassinations
- 1000 assassinations
- 100 beat downs
- 1000 beat downs
- 100 sniper kills
- 1000 sniper kills
- 100 headshots
- 1000 headshots
- 100 games with 50% or greater accuracy
- 1000 games with 50% or greater accuracy

What 1337Dude, you have never heard of the "better Ai for marines" Achievement? It is worth 5000 Points, or so I heard ;)

God how I miss my legendary, heroic, and normal shield badges on each of my Halo:CE levels. It's so gratifiying to see what you have accomplished after you beat the game on every difficulty level and every level has three badges underneath 'em.

However, I would also like to see some kind of reward for not allowing any of your marines to die. Take for instance the Silent Cartographer, I loaded up three warthogs full of marines, brought them all down inside the map room undeground complex past the security door just so they would survive the inevitable marine-acide that occurs as you make your way back to the top. All in all, I had six out of my original eight marines at the end of the level. You aren't supposed to have any, which is why they just watched as I boarded the dropship and took off in the final cutscene.

I wouldn't like the whole "100 of this killed" or "100 headshot kills".. Those just require time or a friend willing to cheat, basically..
"Ok Jimmy, now stand there while I get all my points."

Now, Campaign completion on difficulties.. That would be sweet.

There should be an acheivment for beating Legendary without dying, and it should be worth a rediculous amount of points.

Like a squillion.

This is why you have it done in ranked games and when you kill Jimmy then you get a betrayal cause if he is in your party he is on your team.

I would like to see 100 beat downkills also. I understand what your saying about the people cheating but you would have to be a real n00b if thats the only way to get your achievements done....
