I wonder how successful a "Season Pass" playlist would work that has a mix of gametypes required for achievements and utilizes all DLC.
And no, hate to break it to Microsoft, but it wouldn't be exclusive to Season Pass owners.

Not going to lie but those achievements are shit. Shittier than I ever imagined. Why are you trolling us so hard, 343i? What do you want to accomplish?

It's like they're trolling HaloGaf with those achievements. "Hate active camo? Here's an achievement for using it! Muahahahaha."
I defend a lot of things, but I hate DLC/map/playlist/action specific achievements.

One achievement in the next DLC.
Feels like Halo -
Kill 1000 players with a Boltshot while using Active Camo.

Im in.
Im still pissed about the mantis stomp achieve,ent. I can't ever get it now with crimson dlc not being a playlist.
Still easier than the Majestic achievements.

If anyone wants to know why the tone of discussion has gone the way it has here over the years then they only need read that latest achievement list. Fans who love the franchise enough to post detailed feedback for the developers have lamented these sort of nonsensical, gameplay damaging achievements for years. Then they spit these in your face.
343 are a disgrace.

If Ellis and/or Frank are watching, will there ever be a way to get playlist-specific achievements in the future when the playlists go away?

Fucking 343.
I mean seriously, how fucking oblivious can they be? Because apparently they just don't get it. At all.
I just don't understand how this stuff happens.
I'm game each night next week.
That was awesome of Bungie to do.

ftfy. And yes, it's quite easy to use, much like the boltshot. It's like an order of magnitude more forgiving than the human snipe.

Ok so since we have some interest, boosting lobby next Wednesday at 7PM EST?
I'll post again to remind everyone on Tuesday if this works for most people.

incoming camo fest.
Should had had them be simple. Such as win a game on (insert map name here).
You can kill someone with a Pulse Grenade? lol
That's not my point, regardless of what an achievement is it's as though people are just in a rush to unlock them so there mind can be at rest.
Achievements aren't even about nerd bragging anymore, it's about eliminating the anxiety of not having unlocked an achievement.
Thanks for posting.
TBH only Monolith looks good to me. Landfall looks meh and Skyline looks a bit congested, though it may prove interesting as it may force people to actually change some of their loadouts.

Its easier to no scope with the Beam Rifle than to actually scope in.
Seriously just pick it up, aim and shoot. Its unbelievable easy to do.
Perhaps even broken...
They're a joke. It's the most useless grenade in the series. I much rather have Spike Grenades or Firebombs than those useless Pulse Grenades.
Maybe if you never play anything other than slayer, then yeah they're pretty useless.
Other than that, they're an instant "reconsider your movement" notion to other players, and definitely not as useless and unnecessary to the sandbox like spike grenades were. Work flawlessly in blocking off choke points, turning defense into offense, etc.
If they were buffed they might function that way.

I have maybe 2 kills overall with pulse grenades with like 6 days worth of playtime.

I still say some of the earlier games on 360 had the best achievement lists (and a couple of the worst too). Especially the arcade games. There would usually be one or two that were either gimme or fairly easy, and at least 1 that challenged the player to get better or even master a game. Geometry Wars did it right IMO (no surprise to anyone that knows me). Pretty much anyone can get the score 100k and pacifism achievements. The rest required you to get better at the game and improve your skills all the way to the survive 1 million achievement that a small percentage of owners have ever gotten to this day. You reward players for playing, learning, and improving their skills at your game, but you don't alienate those that don't have the time or ability to do so either.

Really?
Nah, buff them and they become too damn good for objective games. As is, they give your opponent an option to run through and secure the kill if they have enough of an advantage already in damage (say, in the case you threw a hail mary), but they still suffer the risk of dying from the damage they take going through them.
Otherwise, it's an instant back-the-fuck-up. People still don't know how to deal with them, and I've gotten enough kills with the help of them. I think the other thing is people don't know how to use them, and just throw them out like they're frags or stickies, in the hopes that someone will just stand still and eat the damage.

Excellent! Thank you.
No, but I have in multiplayer and I've killed with them as well.

Fuck Zavvi
Kynan mentions that he uses the Boltshot on Landfall to catch people around corners. If the developers find that acceptable then I doubt we'll never see a Boltshot nerf. I wonder of those people will ever figure out how a Halo sandbox should be balanced?

How do you have access to all players' stats and make a double kill with a pulse grenade achievement?
I'm level 129 and I think I've gotten one kill with a pulse grenade in total.
