I’m not sure why these things get released so early. It’s almost a semi-spoiler in some regards when developers decide to unload the Achievements for some games especially highly anticipated, blockbuster, strip-the-mayo-from-a-sandwich type of titles like Bungie’s Halo 3.
Spoiler or not, the boys at Xbox360Achievements revealed the list a few days ago. You can view the Halo 3 Achievement list here. It looks like what I feared the most may have happened. Was my Letter to Bungie too late and perhaps fell on deaf ears? There are quite a few single campaign Achievements but nothing more than completing the levels on different difficulties. Bungie. Oh Bungie. Thou best prepare for Deacon’s furious backlash if the single campaign is not epic. And I’m talking Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction type of furious.

I know DeaconBlade, I remember reading your letter, and to be completely honest, I really was expecting more in terms of achievements. I played Halo 2, non-stop, for 3 years. I really wanted an achievement to work for, something to brag about, something to prove that I wasn’t a noob - but honestly, I really do believe they could have the achievements, at least some of them better.

i think everyone was expecting a little bit more on the Achievements. including me. but then i’m more interested in the single campaign. dude i’m so gonna kick someone’s ass if it’s not up to par. lol

I don’t really have anything to say about the H3 achievements, but IMHO change the color of the box for your comments back to that shade of green you had…the yellow is kind of meh.

you will like the yellow! lol

heck yeah it is…but i wanna try the old shade out later ….see if it’s sexier.

“but nothing more than completing the levels on different difficulties.”
And getting all the skulls, finding all the terminals, and the “meta-game” points for each mission..
I thought that there were more achievements for singleplayer than multi, and the multiplayer ones aren’t all too hard, looks like one should get most of them after a week of playing (except the rank ones).

Those achievements look a little to simple to acquire. Nothing really challenging on the list ( is this the official final list?) I should have about 80% of them within the first week.

Everyone knows my view on these achievements if you visit the message board…..But Deacon, I think the student has became the teacher.
