Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?
DO YOU WANT TO BE A NINJA?
Then I have three words for you. Team Flying Ninja
Alternatively, add me and we will be happy to tell you about ourselves.
DISCLAIMER: I am in no way encouraging, endorsing or recommending the act of achievement glitching or active manipulation of the Reach system (or any other) with the explicit focus of obtaining achievements illegitimately.
Ok, first off, the ONLY DLC I own is the (not technically DLC) Anniversary maps, transferred over due to owning Halo: CE/A. Therefore by standard means, I should not be able to get the achievements related to Noble, & Defiant map packs.
However, over the past couple of days, I have unlocked two, as can be visible here. Both were obtained under similar circumstances, and I believe these off-chance events could be causing achievements to glitch, as whilst I fulfilled the requirements for their award, they should have been locked to me.
Both achievements were unlocked through "stealing" the kill on an enemy vehicle. I place this in inverted commas due to it not really being my intention to steal the kill. A double kill from beyond the grave was caused by plasma launcher rounds (from myself) detonating on an enemy wraith in the split second (where it is still "living) between it getting lasered and collapsing/detonating. I got the kills, beyond the grave (sniped), but interestingly also the laser medals.
The cross-mapping achievement (long range DMR kill) was under similar circumstances. A teammate rocketed a falcon, at which point I presumed it would take a second rocket to kill, and fired at it. I was mistaken, and my DMR shot connected in the instant between rocket impact and detonation. The kill (only a pilot was present) was awarded to me.
Notably, I have fulfilled the requirements for these achievements previously, but not been awarded them. I believe this split-second event killswitch is causing the game to glitch marginally - even if you do not agree with the achievements glitching, it is clear something is occurring due to recieving laser medals for a DMR kill. I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this, and whether they can shed any extra light on occurrences.
Presumably, as a final note, "Both Barrels" and "Offensive Driver" could be obtained under similar circumstances. PLEASE RE-READ DISCLAIMER IF YOUR INTELLIGENCE APPROACHES THAT OF AN AMOEBA. Signs of this include believing the previous paragraph to be advocating the actions of achievement glitching and/or manipulation.
