Atlantis

I would like to get the two multiplayer achievements done. Hit me up if you want to boost. GT: Celestis

Does anybody have a clue how to get this achievement? Is it possibly glitched? I've completed the game three times now, each time being more thorougly than the last. For the second and third time I used this guide as my basis (but still investigated stuff that was not on the list). Right now, I'm thinking that either the achievement is glitched or I'm missing something so ridiculously obvious that nobody bothered listing it in any guide... EDIT: I just read in the "Large donkey" thread that re-using the completed save file might mess up achievements. To be fair, I did get Large Donkey while re-selecting the completed save and it unlocked no problem. But could this be the reason for "Eagle eye" not unlocking?

I cannot, for the life of me, get past the Traps in "Skulls and Crossbones". I have absolutely no problem with any of the enemies or bosses, but I constantly keep on dying because he jumps into the trapdoors when doing attacks. And if I stop moving, the Arrow Troopers or Machine Gun Golems hit me. I have already done Sewer Surfing thrice, one more time and I'm gonna kill somebody. Also, the Pizza box on S&C comes way too soon. I'm usually almost at full health when it appears, but soon after, the massive amount of traps chops my health to shreds.

October 20: First Battle of Earth, Thel 'Vadamee becomes the Arbiter November 2/3: Battle of Delta Halo: December 17: Master Chief lands in Africa Johnson made it back to Earth some time in November, along with Thel 'Vadam, Keyes and Guilty Spark.

Acutally i'm at 66%, and only because i didn't delete TFU were i haven't gotten ANY achivement yet. Braid will be done this month and i haven't had gold since the TU2 of Halo came out, so i wasn't able to finish worms or Halo3 either. For once: I have more than just one profile. I try out games on a second one before i play them with my main account, maybe the game sucks and then i'm stuck with it. And i dunno if you noticed, but i just wasn't online since before the release. It's silver NOW, becuase i don't spent over 50 Euros for Gold when i'm at the university and can't play anyways. I have two months of semester-holidays right now where i'll take on all of the hard and online achievements. It's not as if buying a gold account was that hard... Note cool man. Not cool. No one can get this achievement in three days, NO ONE. I calculated, it would have required over 44.000 points per HOUR at 72hours continous play. And even then, he/she/it wouldn't have had the time to make the offline-achivements, i.e. Legendary. These people are either cheaters or - more likely - Ensemble employees. Also, i don't expect anyone to alter the achievement, rather the ranking system, but even if not, this petition is not about this sole achievement in particular, it's rather representative for many many games, games still about to come that feature absurd goals like this. Just that people care more when it's about a "Halo"-Game. Don't you tell me you agree with every single achievement in every single game you played.

I don't go for quantity but for perfection. I play less games but try to get them on 100%. That's why i even care more. It's also laggy as hell, which doesn't get better when MORE people play on the servers, on the contrary. But let's skip that, that's no the topic, is it? I just chose Halo Wars because it's the latest game with an achievement like this. I could have chosen other games with ridiculous goals as well, but i suppose people care more when the title has a "Halo" in it. But it's merely representational for all the games with absurd achievements in it. And there are people with 1000GS on Halo Wars? ALREADY? I highly doubt that...

Bungie also changed the ranking system with TU2, making some of the retail achievements easier. There actually are games where patches and changes made them more balanced and more fair. Yeah, i could get better at games, shrinking down the time it takes me from two years down to one-and-a-half. This is ridiculous, nothing but a bad joke from MS or Ensemble or whoever is responsible. There are people who have to learn, people who have to work, people who still have a real life and don't want to spend 12 hours a day on the exact same game to get the little 50GS-Popup after a year of gaming. Well, do what you please, sign it or don't. But remember, that this is far from the first unfair and impossible achievement and that it won't be the last one if people don't start complaining. EDIT: The least thing they could do is make that craptacular matchmaking better, so you don't have to wait for hours until you get into a game, thus doubleing the amount of time it takes to become a general.

I suppose I don't have to explain much here in these forums, do I? I started a petition on the "RtS"-Achievement. I don't know if it'll change something at all, but at least we gotta try and stop MS make anymore absurd achievements like these. Read it, sign it, spread it. I want Microsoft to hear us http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/runningtheshow

Once upon a time, there was me, having unlocked all 1000GS of the 49 retail-achievements, and it was good. There was my katana and most important there was my security helmet. Then i started getting the TU2-achievements, beginning with 7on7. As soon as i unlocked it - an achievement w/o actual gamerscore - the helmet re-locked itself. w00t? And then, after i got Lightswitch - again w/o actually getting additional gamerscore - it unlocked again. So yeah, they're damn hell buggy!

I love the StarCraft Series, not that much as i love Halo, but still... Blizzard's RTS were always way better than Ensemble. I was also looking forward to SC2 for... well, since it was announced. Didn't even plan on getting Halo Wars. But now, after Blizzard screwed up with splitting up the game into three just for making money, I changed my mind to HW. And i really hope, HOPE!!! that SC2 will not reach it's anticipated sales, just to let Blizzard know that these Bastards can't get away with everything. Hell, Microsoft will keep up a team to support Halo Wars even after they close down Ensemble! I'm still 100% sure, that concerning gameplay, Starcraft will beat the crap outta Halo Wars, but the Marketing is totally fucked and i hope that no gamer will fall for this!

Can you at least pause the game to, let's say, take a deep breath when frustrated or read in this fantastic guide when you forgot something? Or does the clock go on counting in the pause-menu as well?

After finishing the Single Player with all achievements i now try to get the multiplayer done, starting with the spies and later on switching to upsilon. Now i have a problem: My statistics don't improve anymore. I'm stuck on Athlete: 32%, Sneak: 44% and Gadgets: 44%. Does anybody of you know whether there are any restrictions connected to statistics improvement, i.e. the best and the worst statistic may only differ by 12% oder that you can't get past 44% unless you improve upsilon as well?

Could use a little help with the "Lord of Carcassonne" achievement. I'm willing to help w/ your achievements as well... just PM me. GT: Celestis
