  • How to unlock Back In The Day

    Before you can attempt this achievement, you must have a total of four Xbox One controllers on hand. Once you have this number of controllers, go ahead and boot up a Custom Game under Halo: Combat Evolved.

    In the map select option, you will want to choose Blood Gulch and then set the game type of Capture the Flag or Capture the Flag Classic. Before launching the game, power up the three extra controllers and sign them all into guest accounts. Now you can start up the match and as soon as it begins, this achievement will immediately unlock without any issue.

    This is going to be a pricey achievement unless you live by three other people with XB1 controllers.

    I read all the achievements for this game and they were all fine until I found this bullshit. However decided to but this in the game should be fired and then possibly shot. I mean who the fuck plays this way anymore why pay for Xbox live if this was possible.

    Terrible idea that they would make an achievement for this.

    This is one of the worst achievements ever, requiring no skill, does not add anything to the game, is in no way fun Just requires money to unlock, and at 100 dollar a controller its a insanely pricy one too

    @6 $100 a controller? Where are you buying your controllers at? That's more than retail.

    Quit Complaining! I can't tell you how many hours I logged playing 4 player split screen with guys around the neighborhood and now I have a reason to give them all a call and get them to come over. Either save up a small bit of cash or go online and look for people in your area who want to play and make some new friends.

    I would say this is a possible reference to RvB and I can't get this cheevo due to the fact that between all my friends I'm the only one with an Xbox one.

    lmao this should be nothing, as to this day my friends still play system link via 4 systems and 16 controllers. They all have One now and we should be able to get this no problem.

    @everyone complaining about people complaining I think its perfectly justified to complain about an achievement that requires you to spend 300 bucks, or whatever the ralative price in your local region is It just evil to make an achievement that requires money to get +a lot of people dont know anyone who have a one, even then you might still be short on controllers

    The people saying that we don't have friends that's why we are complaining are stupid. The problem here is a lot of are friends have not got an xbox one also not all of us are 12 year old's it would be weird to invite a bunch of men around to play a game together.

    Yeah this is a pretty bs achievement though, what if we don't need more than one controller? And if you don't know four people nearby that have the One?

    Buy new controllers? Pay lots of money? What the heck are you guys doing? This isn't a requirement, it is just to make people remember the good old days when having friends, old or young, over to play some Halo! You people never acknowledged that at all, but instead treated this achievement as a chore that must be unlocked as fast as possible. It is an achievement, something that, in the future when you have more friends with One, you can get! You could be doing other achievements to pass the time, waiting for your friends to get One too. There are plenty of achievements to do that will keep you occupied longer than enough. And buying new controllers? Unless it is to play with your friends I guess. But if you are the one to buy four controllers for yourself, sign in profiles and load the m

    I LOVE everybody on this thread. Everybody is complaining. Every single one. There's introverts complaining about not wanting to meet other people with Xbox One's and the MCC. There's people complaining that they'll have to "buy" four controllers in order to unlock this achievement. Then there's people complaining about the complainers, saying they should grow up, even though it's hypocritical and a double standard. That being said, here are my thoughts on the matter: somebody create something out of this. There has to be one creative person out there that would develop a "meetup" app for session gamers. It wouldn't be a bad thing in the slightest. We [gamers] have become the people in the movie "Surrogates" in which we are too afraid to interface with each other through face to face co

    Thursday, November 13, 2014 @ 04:03 AM

    ntact. I say somebody should challenge that attitude that has grown out of isolation. We should rise up and create actual communities of gamers. Fuck, maybe even start a legitimate company while we're at it. Is that too grandiose? Then that means your afraid of it. You should always face your fears. Don't back down, move forward. Make new gaming friends. And conquer this achievement. Once And For All (•_•)..........( •_•)>??-?..........(??_?),

    Hey guys that are complaining. You do realize.. you DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ACHIEVEMENT RIGHT??? If you are a completionist, then the price you pay for CHOOSING to do that is having to do what it takes to get the achievement. If somehow you can overcome your primal instincts and realize that life goes on no matter what you do or don't do, then maybe you can also learn to stop complaining over something that is OPTIONAL.

  • Raptures Oracle

    Thursday, November 20, 2014 @ 02:13 PM

    @35/36 It's because it's stupid now. Split screen is as good as obsolete. Why get your (assuming 3) friends over to your house, to play the game and waste time. Primarily to get an achievement, when in theory if those people have a controller each, they clearly have an xbox one with a gamer tag. So why the fuck would you all play on one tv, split screen, when a little thing called XBOX LIVE was invented what, 10 years ago?
  • FullMoonBeaver

    Monday, November 24, 2014 @ 09:00 PM

    I wont have a chance to get this. Only got a solitary controller. All my friends live a minimum 90 minute drive away, and none of them have the game, and only 2 have an XB1. Shame, as some couch co op would be a laugh.
  • ninjaraiden2003

    Tuesday, November 25, 2014 @ 05:53 PM

    Just did this. The achievement pops literally the second the match starts up, on the black screen before the game can even bring the 4 split-screens up. Luckily I had a buddy with 2 spare controllers that wanted to return some movies and pick up some more to watch :)
  • Dante XBA

    Saturday, December 06, 2014 @ 05:59 AM

    Sigh. Guess I'll have to get an extra controller, between my brother and my friend. No one else in the area has the X1.

    Lol...friends or no friends it is a stupid achievement. It's a clever through back but..an achievement? And those of you bashing on people who don't have controllers or friends or whatever reason...shame on you. I do have friends to get this with sure..but you only agree with this achievement because you can get it. Put yourself in there position and you would complain too. So unless you have HELPFUL advice or questions on this achievement...stop bashing, please.
  • Crims0nPenguin

    Friday, January 02, 2015 @ 05:18 PM

    For the people complaining about not having 4 controllers just go to gamestop and buy 3 used controllers then get the achievement and return the controllers for a full refund. Also I find it quite hilarious that some people have the audacity call others "no-life" or "unsocial" for not having other people/friends to help them with the achievement locally. Not everyone owns an xbox one(in my town I'm literally the only one who bought an Xbox One everyone else owns a PS4) furthermore it would sound awkward if you asked a friend to comeover for just an achievement in some game.

    So after reading ALL of these comments and this is directed at people saying xbox one gamers have no friends. In my case, this is true to the extent that I have no other xboxOne gaming friends. Every single friend I have that had a 360 at one point in their life either stopped gaming or switched a Sony product or a PC because Microsoft is garbage to Sony or PC now adays. So most of us Achievement hunters and completionists who stick with Microsoft because of our history with achievements have every right to complain about this. Even if I was a casual gamer, at this point in my life, I don't think I could convince 3 of my other friends to sit down next to me and play video games when we're are all 21+. So buying 3 other controls would be a waist of our money since they wouldn't

    Wednesday, January 21, 2015 @ 04:37 PM

    Be worth keeping/getting. And if we are willing to spend 200+ hours getting the 499 achievements, of course we want that last freaking one!

    Thursday, January 22, 2015 @ 07:03 AM

    Y'all are tripping out. Simple fix: go to the nearest GameStop (or any dedicated game store that has a used return policy) and buy 3 used xbox one controllers. Go home, sync them up, achievement pops, then take them back up to the GameStop and say u didn't like them and want ur money back. So essentially you're borrowing them from GameStop for free. Problem solved, problem staying solved

    These comments have shown how achievements control our video game lives anymore... I'll admit I am a perfectionist when it comes to achievements, but I do them for the fun of the game (all my MP achievements like 100 legendary and 250 killjoys are legit). I'll find someone who has spare controllers for this.

    I realize I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I just got this achievement with two XB1 controllers and two XB360 controllers, and connecting them using a Windows 10 tablet to stream from my XB1 console. I started the game from my streaming Win10 tablet using two XB360 controllers, then turned on my XB1 controllers, and connected them to the game using guest accounts. Started up the match, and Achievement Unlocked!
