Forums: Index → General Discussion → Most difficult Halo achievement | ![]() |
Just for fun, I thought we could come up with a list what we believe to be the most difficult achievements across every Halo game. Seeing as I've unlocked every one (save Halo 2 Vista, I'd say I've got some experience in the matter. I invite everyone else to suggest what they feel are the most difficult achievements. Any that gave them a lot of trouble, or continue to. We can have some fun narrowing down the list, and in the end come up with something like a top 10 list, or even the single most difficult achievement.
Before I start the list, I feel it necessary to outline what makes an achievement difficult. For me there are five factors which make an achievement difficult. Time consuming - the achievement requires a lot of time and a lot of grinding to unlock. Other players - the achievement is dependant on the actions/choices of another player (i.e. That Won't Save You, Paper Beats Rock). Co-op - the achievement that can only be unlocked in online co-op play. Situational - the achievement can only be unlocked in situations which rarely occur. And finally Objective difficulty - the achievement requires actions which are objectively difficult to pull off.
You won't find many campaign achievements listed. That's because most campaign achievements can be achieved with perseverance alone; if you keep at it, eventually you'll succeed. The most difficult achievements are those which also require skill and luck, without which you can try forever and never unlock them.-- Rusty-112 Admin comm 16:18, 1 December 2013 (EST)
Preliminary list
The following list is preliminary, and divided by title. Also note that older achievements tend to get harder as time goes on, as multiplayer achievements get more and more difficult due to decreased matchmaking population.

- Halo 3
- Two for One
- Steppin' Razor
- Maybe Next Time Buddy
- Save This Film
- Have Fun Respawning
- Look Both Ways
- Blades of Fury
- Post Mortem
- Vidmaster Challenge: Annual
Honorable mention goes Zombie Repeller and Delicious Brains, both of which were easy to unlock when released, but now are difficult due to the rarity of Infection games.
- Halo Wars
- Halo 3 ODST
- Halo Reach
- If They Came to Hear Me Beg

- Paper Beats Rock
- Emergency Room

Honorable mention to Special Delivery, which is very difficult to pull off as intended, but glitched so badly that most people unlock it under completely different circumstances.
- Halo Spartan Assault
Discussion
So what do we think? Are there any achievements you found particularly hard that were left out? Any included that you found easy? Have your say and we'll whittle the list down, until we've found the most difficult achievement(s) ever.-- Rusty-112 Admin comm 16:18, 1 December 2013 (EST)
I'm guessing Two for One might be the hardest. I'm not even sure if there are any FFA maps that have splazers in them. This is craZboy557, signing off. 16:27, 1 December 2013 (EST)
