What the heck is the asian tag? I'm not even sure how that would work since you can't party up in Lone Wolves.
Also plugging my fileshare, since I have two amusing videos up:

Elephants! is where I manage to get one elephant on top of the enemies, and a ridiculous epic battles ensues in the middle on them. Second good one is Sword Clash, where tonight I clashed swords with someone for the first time, except we did it like 6 times, pretty awesome.
I have a question about the Meta-Game achievements. When/If you select 'team' does it accumulate the total points your team gets and if it's over 15,000 do you get the achievement? Or do you individually have to get over 15,000 points, irregardless if it's set to free-for-all or team, to get the achievement?

Your individual score has to be over the 15k. As far as I can tell if you do team cooperative scoring, the time multiplier at the end only applies to your team's added up score, which basically screws you, but in free for all it applies the time bonus to each person's individual score. Like me and my friend both got something like 10k on cooperative, but then the time bonus (2x) made the total score 40k (10k + 10k x 2), and neither one of us got jack. But on free for all score we each individually would have totaled 20k, getting both of us the achievement.

You= Accepted.giga said:me = tastyterrorist.
Although I've booted 2 people from my friends list for playing Tetris Splash, so be warned.
:lol Tetris Splash.
So I'm the dick for wanting to play seriously? If you all are standing around in a ranked game trying to get achievements don't get pissed at the guy who is playing the game the way it's meant to be played. You want the achievements so bad, switch to the asian language.SailorDaravon said:I would like to re-iterate how much I absolutely fucking hate the achievements being linked to free for all. Ironically it was probably done to avoid friends grouping together to do it, but now in half of the Lone Wolves lobbies I'm in everyone beforehand is trying to band together to do it, which winds up just pissing off the one dude who wants to play seriously and then is a dick and ruins it. I managed to get the sword triple kill and the mongoose splatter achievement this way, but was screwed out of the laser double kill and overkill achievements due to one dude being an asshole both times -_-. I don't want the achievement points, I just want the fucking armors, shit. Even when (and if) I get these achievements I will continue to bitch about this forever, it's so retarded. At least don't tie it to in-game shit.

I hate it that Bungie put the achievements in ranked FFA only and not any ranked gametype, but getting pissed off at the person who is just playing the game normally... sheesh

if the disc is fine, it may be a problem with the cached files on the hdd? try clearing the cache then try it again i guess.

What's wrong with Tetris Splash? I have no idea.
zam said:
I probably should have been more specific, both times the guy starting being a dick AFTER he'd gotten the achievement first. But regardless I would still be pissed anyway. I don't blame someone who wants to play seriously, again I blame fucking bungie for this shit. I'm not an achievement whore by any stretch of the imagination whatsoever (go look at my Live profile), but it's tied to in-game shit I want, so what the fuck am I supposed to do. It's a lose-lose for everyone and winds up fucking up shit that they were probably trying to avoid by doing it this way, I wish they would just change it so we can all be happy. I know a lot of people who are terrible at the game and will probably never be able to get all the armors unless they get lucky in pre-game lobbies, and that just sucks.

I haven't checked it out yet, but on principle I've been booting people I don't recognize when I see them playing stuff like Spiderman Friend or Foe. I kept the one dude that is still playing Perfect Dark Zero though. I root for him.SailorDaravon said:
Also, you guys should check out BBash Haunts SB for my 7 kill Ghost Spree on Snowbound. Twas fun. Plus the camera work is spastic to make your Wednesday night more EXTREME.

Ditto. On one hand, I understand why Bungie tied these achievements only to Lone Wolves, but on the other, that Marathon helmet is damn sexy ...Scarecrow said:

That's the one. From what I understand, you'll need to get 1000/1000 achievement points before you can enter your antenna nirvana, though, BuG. G'luck.BuG said:
Woot woot. Finally hit level 20 in Lone Wolves and got my Captain promotion
On a semi-related note, was lone wolves acting funny to anyone else tonight?
a) I got Crazy king or oddball EIGHT games straight. I didn't mind - I like them. Just thought it was odd.
b) It was pretty much impossible to lose rankings. I once finished 4th (out of 5 remember) and still went up a rank. I also gained a rank after pretty much EVERY 1st or 2nd place finish.

Finally, finally, finally got past "that part" on Tsavo Highway. Here's how I did it:
- brought a covenant sniper rifle and the fuel rod gun from the previous area
- took out most of the initial brute wave with the covenant sniper and BR from the top of the bridge
- before the next wave came, I ran through the area to pick up fuel rod ammo and to get the human sniper rifle from the back building
- went back to the top of the bridge and sniped the armor off most of the brutes (and there's gotta be at least 20 of those fuckers)
- wittled them down with a BR and carbine
- went down to the concrete pipes to finish off the stragglers from a closer position
- disabled the wraith with a covenant pistol and then finished it off with the fuel rod
Wasn't as easy as I'm making it sound and it took me about an hour to do it. Lots of trial and error, patience, and a couple trips back to the previous area to pick up some BR ammo. Very satisfying though.
The key is disabling the wraith with the covenant pistol. In one of the following areas you get to face three of them. There's absolutely no way to get past them without the diabling method. I'm actually pissed that I totally forgot you're able to do that. It simplfies things soooo much.
