Can I leave Bungie negative feedback for Halo 3? Seriously, who's to blame for some of these achievements? there are several that simply put are not possible to obtain unless u get everyone to comply in trading achievements. steppin razor (triple kill with sword) took three seperate games of ppl being coerced into agreeing while one jackass goes around killing ppl simply to ruin everybodys chance for the damned achievement. that would be fine if this achievement was possible to obtain through legitimate means, but its not in halo 3. only two maps have swords on them in lone wolves and both are way too big to get a triple kill in. not to mention for whatever illegitimate reason u only have 5 ppl in lone wolves!!! so basically in order to get this achievement u have to luckily end up in either one of the least popular and always vetoed ffa maps (construct and the pit), get the sword, bait three ppl into coming into a small area in two of the biggest spread out maps in ffa, then kill 3 of the only 4 ppl AT MAX(!?!) in 4 seconds using a qeapon that can't fire... right... and whats really sad is thats damn near the least asinine of the online achievements.

another patheticaly imagined achievement is the mowing someone down with a mongoose on high ground, which also always gets vetoed! firstoff a kill with a mongoose has nothing to do with luck or skill, and secondly it again can almost never be accomplished without basically giving up the entire game just to have a chance at this achievement.

or how about the insanely idiotic splaser achievement? ti don't even have to tell u how asinine it is to think that u can legitimately get this achievement considering u need 3 /5 maximum ppl lined up perfectly (shooter plus two victims) and willing to stay there for 3 straight seconds before they get lasered.

sadly, we all know these achievements are the only way to receive certain armor permutations, yet u must ruin the spirit and fun of halo 3's online multiplayer in order to get them by degrading it into achievement whoring. whats truly sad is that we all know bungie did not receive any of their achievements legitimately either, because they have been playing ranked with each other before released to the public and essenntially cheating by "trading" these achievements with fellow coworkers around their closed offices. there is no doubt about that.

no, i'm not here because i'm pissed i cant legitimately earn these with my "l33t amount of skill" (seeing as how the above three take cooperation from enemies in a ranked game, not an individual's abilities in play), i'm disappointed that bungie created silly, asinine achievements to get armor that can't be unlocked without getting full cooperation from every random player from across the world in a serious competitive designed playlist, but then essentially cheated in order to get it themswelves. it's just sad...
