Acheivement hunters? Campaign?
I've been hunting acheivements for this game since it came out. I could use some help for some such as Legendary ones. Though I do not like playing legendary, playing with others makes it not so bad. Halo 3 was not too bad with 4 people running through it. Does the game play well with 4 people on campaign though? I wouldn't mind running through some levels with a group. Post here if interested.
my OCD is cringing at this spelling in the title. lol
Sorry, I bearly graduated high school. I hunt and peck about 6 words per miniute also. Be lucky I use caps and punctuation.
Lou I have you on my FL and had already noticed your achEIvement work. When I find time I'll hook up with ya if I can.
Achievements are fixed and "unlocking" ones are unlocking appropriately. I'll be on tomorrow (Monday) throughout the day and night.
I can help you out tonight around 8:30 Eastern.
If Old, or Lou, or anyone wants to work on some speed runs on campaign or just Legendary in general, let me know! I'm usually on after 10CST
Looks like my locked chievos finally unlocked. I did have to go back and rerun H4 Reclaimer to get the mission and beat the par time chievos. First time I ran the mission successfully but did not get credit. May have some time coming up soon to put my little toe back in the water. I should probably go back and check that the save, quit, and resume black screen problem has been fixed. Maybe tomorrow...
Getting the par scores is a pretty fun challenge.
Just got the Par score on Assault on the Control Room (and the Library). FYI, on AotCR your score starts rapidly subtracting at the 15 minute mark, although you can still earn points to slow the loss down. At 30:00, the subtraction stops and you can still earn points with a score multiplier of 1. After 40 minutes you can't earn any more points.
The way I did it was on Heroic with a couple skulls turned on. Try to get as many points as you can in the first 15 minutes. I had around 30,000 by then, I think. By 30 minutes, my score was about 22,000, and I got about 4,000 more by the time the level ended to finish with 26,000.
I had been killing myself trying to finish the level super fast while getting tons of points, which was impossible. I didn't realize the rapid subraction stopped at 30:00.
The Library was pretty easy. Grenades + shotgun = tons of multikills that help pump up your score.
Tha Ark (Halo 3) was also pretty easy for the same reason. Lots of multikills in the tank, especially if you give your marine passengers rockets, fuel rod, and sniper.
I did AotCR speed run in 7:10 :) Tricky tricky.
I thought about using that skip, but you can't do the skip and get 25,000 points. I think you'd only have like 2-3000 points by the first bridge, and then the enemies despawn for the rest of the level.
I finished the Library under the par time. I LOLed at the name of the achievement: TLDR. Going to try for par score on Two Betrayals next.
yeah I was only going for fastest speed possible. I wouldn't try for both at once.
