  • How to unlock Mystery Achievement

    Similar to the "fortune cookie" Easter Eggs in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3, this achievement is obtainable at any point in the game while editing any map in Forge Mode. When you are ready to save your custom map, enter ".fortune" as the map name and the following message will appear: "Sorry, this fortune is temporarily out of order." As soon as this message appears, the achievement will unlock right away.

    Why would an achievement like this ever exist? It gives no indication of how to get it and isn't fun, simply irritating

    @1 it's no different to a secret achievement.

    This could be a stretch, but seeing as the achievement image resembles a fortune cookie, there is an easter egg in Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 3 for entering ".fortune" when given a prompt to, such as renaming the player profile or editing the names of map variants. Perhaps this is how you unlock this achievement.

    I was about to comment and mention the same thing as #4. Just based on the picture, I would guess it's related to the .fortune Easter. Since Forge is part of the MCC bundle, it's definitely not too much of a stretch.

    @#1 - achievements are supposed to be just that. achievements. not "pop in this disk for 5 hours and you automatically get all the imaginary points." it's the same as a secret achievement, it'll be an ACHIEVEMENT for those that get it on their own. dont worry, you can cheat and look at the guide later when its posted a couple days after the game comes out

    If it were restricted by a game it would be under that games achievements, but this is not it is in the overall achievements! My guess this is probably using an interactive piece on a multilayer map

    Followed the instructions in the video #12 linked. I get the cryptic message, but no achievement.

    @1 You are so lame, I guess you just shouldn't even bother playing this game because of this 5G achievement that will obviously be unlocked without even trying. Damn, you're lame.

    Got the achievement. Exactly as the other guy said. I went to custom games in Halo CE and entered ".fortune" as a "save as" for the game type and it popped.

    Here is an achievement guide with English commentary. Essentially, you have to set up a custom game and in the options tab rename the file to ".fortune" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-RqbQAnatA
