Yeah they are very easy, i thought it would be a bit harder, lolz ill be able to complete these in a day. Some points don't make sense though.. why are there 100 point for Normal and 50 for Legendary? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Btw i already posted a source link in my original post.

Yeah, I saw the link after I posted. I hate it when I post something and the INSTANT I post it I see the answer to my question.

20$ says there will be some kind of achievement race to see who can get them the fastest, and it will only take about 12 hrs of game time max.

Probably completing the game is seen as the initial challenege. To go above and beyond earns you more points, but not double what you already got for completing it in the first place or anything like that. It seems a little counter-intuitive but I see why they might have done that.

King of the Scarab? :( It's too hard to get D:

1 sniper kill is an achivement?

Surely it should be more along the lines of 100 sniper kills, 100 stickies, etc?

agreed, because its just so easy to accomplish all of these achievements. I can accomplish half of them in one game. I think Bungie is giving pity to the people who can't play Halo. :(

The funniest one i saw was King of Scarab. getting the scarab gun, i thought Bungie hid it there so nobody would find it, i know this sounds noobish but i hope they find an easy way to get the scarab gun, cause the ways on the xbox are hard. i could never get the banshee in the small tube in the tunnel.

It took me two tries with a friend. The first time we waited to long to hijack the banshee and the game made it *poof* away. The second time we nearly missed it but got it and I went and got the Scarab Gun and the soccer ball and had a ton of fun with it.

No, this isn't the same information. Its similar, moreover this is the announced one, and is kind of more official.


You never posted this before, you posted something similar to it. I checked before i posted. ;)

Anyway the Scarab gun was hell tough to get, my friend did that part for me.

If you think about it, most of the campaign achievements could be done with savegame files. Kind of like Action Replay for Xbox.

They seem really, really easy..Especially compared to games like Gears of War, where you need 100 kills with one weapon to get an achievement, not just one kill that you'd normally get every match or two :\ ....and why does clocking the game on Normal give you twice as many points as clocking it on Legendary :?

Who knows. Maybe it was just points for beating the game period, and then trying higher levels gets you more points. Or maybe their original intention was to give out 50 for easy and 50 for normal, but they mooshed the two together in the end. Again, who knows.

EDIT- Haha, look what I found:

Timo, some of GoW ones are really easy too...

Zen and the Art of Reloading - 10 GS
Perform 25 perfect active reloads (on any difficulty)

Okay, so reload your gun 25 times... not very difficult.

Zen and the Art Part 2 - 20 GS
Perform 5 perfect active reloads in a row (on any difficulty)

This is really easy and can be done in 20 seconds.

Always Remember Your First - 10 GS
Finish playing a versus ranked match

Okay... play one multiplayer game, you don't even have to win.

I'm not saying that the Halo 2 Vista ones might not be too easy, but I'm saying all games have some easy ones as well as hard ones. And did I just see someone up higher post that it was too hard to find the scarab gun? You guys are contradicting yourselves!

A lot of you are also missing out on how multi player achievements can only be obtained through a Live Gold membership.

well, that's the only way they'd be useful anyway...

silver lets you play, which is fine for most users.

There is an easy way to get the scarab gun: DEVMODE!! (unless Bungie is a bunch of jerks and doesn't let us use devmode...)

edit: Bungie could let us use devmode, but have it set up similar to the Xbox's anti-cheating system. You have devmode on, you can't sign in to Live.
