Sticky achievements/challenges are the fucking worst.

This is just a single sticky though. I think to say it is worse than the other ones is not very fair to sticky grenadesDevolution said:
BS achivements... Stick a flag carrier with a plasma 'nade? How? The fuckers don't get stuck on anything Reach anyway (seriously, i swear sticking people was easier in Halo3)... Ironically this thing is a real achievement.
Ghost and Headshot ones are fine though. Well the Ghost one would be if people didn't use armor lock.
Ah well, it seems that i'm going to check out the Reach maps in Forge when CEA hits and then i'll stick to CEA campaign and Skyrim and BF3.

Hmm. I have now read up. From what I understand one of the gametypes I still need one for is one nobody votes for. grr.

Oh god. Why did I do it? I'm stuck in a team objective neutral bomb that nobody on either team is trying for the bomb. Screw that.

Well, I've stopped caring about achievements and challenges so that might be why I don't care for achievement boosting. I guess I find it more fun to have the achievement popup appear randomly than setting up games just to get it done like it's some kind of barrier or work to do before one can start having fun.

I wonder if there's anyone who actually likes to go for the multiplayer achievements, and doesn't look at them as a chore or a grind.

they'll still promote stupid behaviourTashi0106 said:
actually that's the only real issue here
I agree, and that's all well and good, but these achievements always change the behavior of people in matchmaking. I remember being betrayed for the Oddball on Ghost Town because of that dumb achievement. I don't want to be betrayed for my skulls when I, god forbid, am forced to play Headhunter, or see all of my random teammates floating just above ground level with their jetpacks to get a melee.Ken said:
Terrible achievements.
I mean I don't find the Ghost splatters or the Headshot one too offensive, but most of them are all influencing a team, and players, to play differently instead of accordingly. Havok basically nailed it with the flag and sticky grenade stuff. If they're ever going to do MP achievements, which I'm not a fan of in this type of game, do something like "Be on a winning team and capture three enemy flags". Simple. Basic. It isn't doing something out of your normal way of competing in a game.

If they had Midship in Anniversary, they would have raised the ceiling to alleviate the jet-packers. The changes for the Reach version in Anniversary of Beaver Creek isn't too offensive to me, but thankfully there is the regular version coming in.Tashi0106 said:

Yeah until you play more idiots trying to get it.
Tashi0106 said:
Yeah I don't give a fuck about them but I'm in the minority. Stupid MP achievements encourage people to do stupid shit in MP. Doesn't anyone remember the bullshit mongoose splatter or the 5 stickes in one game in H3? Ugh. Then there were all of the terrific FFA ones that made that playlist so incredibly enjoyable.

5 stickies in one game was easy. Just vote for Guardian.

I think Prisoner would be a great one for 5 stickies in a game. Maybe it's updated version Solitary too.

C'mon guys! The achievements can't be that bad!
*Actually looks at Achievements*
Welp!

Welp!
You all seem like you wanted the multiplayer achievements to be easy. Whats the point of them adding achievements if they're gonna take 1 hour to finish. Suck it up!!!
@Dax: You have a good point there. Its true some of then were definitely not fun. Especially the Double Laser kill in Halo 3. Miracles. It took Miracles.

First it was Halo 3's bad MP achievements, then Reach's, and now Anniversary's? Why has it taken three games to not yet learn that these kind of achievements are not fun and it would be better to not include MP achievements at all?
Why include achievements like this?
No, they're not impossible to do. Yeah, I probably will get them all within the first week. But the point is they're not fun. Especially compared to Anniversary's ingenious campaign achievements.
Besides Halo Wars, I have all the achievements for every single Halo game. I'm not about to stop now.

No remakes in the next Halo Trilogy.

Remember Bungie is not making the maps anymore. We don't even know how much the sandbox is altered.
I want that feeling of nothing is the same almost when it comes to maps, completely brand new, a little nervous, but the payoff would be good.
What I am NOT against are spiritual successors.
I think Countdown, Guardian, and any others you can think of are amazing.
Guarding especially.
Can you dig it?

Well, even if a quality map is remade it isn't guaranteed it will be good.Havok said:

Midship is the goat Arena map. It's great for ball, flag, and slayer.
