please bungie dont put achievements for 1st on leader boards or any leaderboards for that matter, its kinda lame and that way people dont cheat (as much)
I wrote an entire post about that in the Underground a couple months ago.
It would be a disaster to make some of the achievements leaderboard based. You thought the cheating was bad before, that would make it crazy. The elite are so stinking good at Halo that only 20 or so people out of the millions who bought the game would be able to get those high profile achievements. So guess what the kids are going to do? Cheat in everyway possible to get those last couple achievements.
Now a lot of people will get caught, but that's not going to stop a lot of people from trying. And even if it doesn't induce cheating, everyone should have at least a chance at getting all the achievements. If you make it leaderboard based, 99% of the games community will have no shot at the last few achievements.
