Threading the Needle

4: War games weekly challenge: kill 16 players with a headshot in a single game. Complete

Saturday, November 24, 2012

The VIP

4: Spartan Ops Episode 3 Chapter 1 complete on Legendary. Very nice of the 3 stolen Scorpion tanks to regenerate on the field. Why can't the Marines?

Double Kill Glitch

4: kill, die, kill. Still scored Double Kill because they were within 4.5 seconds of each other. The instant spawn made that happen. But the death should negate that. But I will take all the props I can get.

Threading the Needle

4: War Games Challenge: get 9 headshots in one match. Complete.

Deadeye weekly

4: this weekly challenge that I was so concerned with is now marked complete. 70 headshots against Spartans. Ok. Hope the game does not keep glitching like that.

Gagarin

4: completed Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 5 on Legendary. In the game I heard it pronounce GAR-garin. That makes more sense. Typo?

Query: Deadeye Weekly

4: the daily challenge titled Deadeye called for 12 headshot kills. The weekly one calls for 70. I got my 12 but it seems that is all the weekly will count for today. If I have to complete Deadeye daily for 6 days of the week and not get all 70 in one day, as I am quite capable of, I call that unjust.

Pelican Down

4: Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 4 complete on Legendary. What a bitch.

Drilled

4: Weekly Challenge for War Games completed. Get 18 kills with a precision loadout weapon in a single match.
I must be reading that number wrong, I have not earned 18 kills in a single match.

Deadeye

4: Daily Challenge for War Games complete. Kill 12 players with headshots. I love SWAT.

Harvesting Hunters

4: Spartan Ops Challenge completed. Kill 10 hunters.

Hacksaw

4: Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 3 complete on Legendary.

No One Left Behind

4: Achievement. Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 3 on Heroic rescue at least one marine. Got it. This was way hard as the AI was not willing to keep the marines on the safe tower I cleared for them

For Science

4: Completed Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 2 on Legendary.

I am the 99%

4: Completed this weekly challenge for Spartan Ops.

Clean Up

4: Episode 2 Chapter 1 on Legendary completed.

Spartan Ops 2-1

4: Completed Spartan Ops Episode 2 Chapter 1 on Heroic. The story is interesting, and the fighting is feverish.

3 times a King

4: Regicide. Stole the crown 3 times in one game. A Regicide leading to an overkill with only 6 players helps keep up the points.

Take the Hill

4: War Games challenge. Won 2 games of KotH. Thanks to my Red buddies on each count. Suck It, Blue!

Quicker on the Trigger

4: War Games Challenge. Got 3 or more Combat Skill Medals in a single game. Not sure what they were though.

Thursday, November 8, 2012

I love RvB

4: got an achievement called I <3 Red bs Blue. Why did they have to be so juvenile? But it was for winning 5 War Gams. Well, being on the winning team.

Dominator

4: Completed this challenge. Got to SR 20 which got the achievement "Movin' on Up".

Infinity

4: Gods I am living the new War Games. Racking up points even when not killing, so I help just by being a distraction.

A Legendary Episode

4: Finished the whole Episode on Legendary. Took 55 minutes and 44 lives for the last chapter. That means I got the above named Achievement and the two weekly Challenges for Spartan Ops this week.
I have to say: I am disappointed in this game. Plot is week, game system is slightly broken. It seems to have all been riding on the PVP, and even that lost a few good things.
Don't get me wrong. This game is still good. It just did not measure up to my expectations. But what do I know? I am no writer or programer.

Ep 1 Ch 4: Sacred

4: finished on Legendary. Died 37 times. To me it is inconceivable that these are meant to be completed in 1 lifetime.
Made SR 18 though.

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Ep 1 Ch 3: The Challenge

4: Spartan Ops Ep 1 Ch 3 on Legendary. Died a bazillion times but passed and made SR 17.

Creeping 'n Crawling

4: Spartan Ops. Killed 80 Crawlers in Ch 3 while I completed it on Heroic. I will have all 5 done in Legendary tonight or tomorrow.

Victory

4: Beat the game on Normal. Not happy. We will wait 2 or 3 more years and see what happens next.
In the mean time I am going to play Spartan Ops and War Games.

Deposed

4: Challenge in SO. Kill king 10 times in 1 match. Got that and two assists on his death but still only got 220 points of 300 for the match. Maybe I will improve at this.

Commendations and Specializations

4: this game now has a much easier system of mastering weapons and most killed enemies. Some I am already progressing on rather well. Some will take a while. But again, much easier that I got the game first day.
Really must get a wide screen TV. Cant read shit on this one.

Ep 1 Ch 2: Sniper Alley

4: Spartan Ops 1-2 completed on Legendary. But WTF. Respawning at the checkpoints usually where you got killed? Not cool.
Also completed challenge Shield Buster.
All I did was update this damn thing. Should not have moved out of place.

Spartain Takedown

4: War Games challenge Spartan Takedown complete.

Spartan Ops Challenges

4: got 2 of the weekly S.O. Challenges done without noticing. Killed 40 Elites and 100 Grunts.
Destroyer of Grunts and I am the 99 Percent complete.

Crimson Alone

4: Completed Land Grab on Legendary. Got 20 pt Achievement Crimson Alone. Died 14 times. Wraiths and Ghosts kept materializing, but the covey would not use them. Strange, but that would have ruined me. So let us now examine what the other chapters have in store.

Land Grab

4: land grab on Heroic complete. Now SR14. Getting tons unlocked and buying new load-outs. Soon though it will be more difficult and more expensive to progress. But unlike Reach, I am in on the ground floor and loving it.

Promotions and achievements

4: getting promotions and achievements left and right. and new avatar items. I love this game. And I like the new points vs XP system. Xp for rank, Spartan points for gear. Much nicer.
And the running is great once you get the hang of it.

Regicide

4: this is a great new game mode. I need to go put in some double XP

Infinity

4: I have completed the first chapter of the first mission in Spartan Ops. I like this much better than Halo Wars or Firefight. There are finally Daily and Weekly Challenges for each mode. Lots to do and so little time. I am unlocking shit left and right and made SR3 in just one match. This is going to be too much fun.

Next Stop: Certain Death

4: oh my Gods the Didactic is awesome.
Achievement - Forerunner

The reclaimer saga

4: wow. Just wow. The music alone is amazing. The promethians are amazing. I have the wonderfully geeky feeling of being connected with Cortana. I am looking forward to seeing how S117 will help her.
I am still concerned with the continuity of Cortana's history. She was the ship AI. She was surprised by the makeup of S117's internal structure. Then she said she picked S117. And now she is made up of Dr Holzy. I don't know.
Got several of the minor achievements. Got through the first chapter on Normal. Tomorrow will be Spartan Ops.

Killionaire

Reach: just got the most kick ass Killionaire ever. Bonus Round on Installation 04. Grunts were streaming through a tight wedge and 2 grenades later I am a killionaire.

LASO

Reach:I cannot even fathom LASO. I tried Tip of the Spear once. That did not happen. I would love to sit and watch a video of someone completing even Winter Contingency LASO. I barely survived getting Legendary solo.

The little guys

Reach: started the first mission and went into the second. Right after I killed the 2 hunters I completed this challenge. Thankfully that meant I did not have to go up the elevator and listen to Emil bitch about "I need another Spartan up here." guy annoyed the hell out of me. But I love his line in the last mission and then in Firefight. "Hush, now."

Blastin' and Relaxin

Reach: Completed another of these. And almost done with the grunts as well.

Neuroscience

Reach: thank the Gods. Hail Satan. I got this one. I had to kill 146 men in the pursuit of this challenge to get just 10 headshots in one game.

New Jersey, not the state

4: my non gamer friend got me a Gamestop Halo 4 shirt and my buddy Neptune got me the ONI patch from the game con. The patch is now on the shoulder and my jersey is ready to play! Thank you my friends.

Gunslinger

Reach: Gunslinger complete.
But Neuroscience is a bitch. 9 of 10 several times.
And LASO? I need to see how many people have actually earned a LASO

Crack Shot

Reach: in SWAT I just got Crack Shot to Silver.

Center Mass

Reach: cannot seem to get headshots today. My crossed eyes are not lining up with my cross hairs.

Proud to loose

Reach: today my 11 year old girl legitimately whooped my ass in Headhunter, SWAT, Juggernaut and Odd Ball. Hate loosing, but proud of my kid.

Saturday, November 3, 2012

Pass the Rock

Reach: not a bad challenge. Hard to get 20 assists. But the name is a reference to basketball. If I gave a flying fuck about basketball I would play basketball. Or at least a game based on it since I am cripple.

Light fuse, run away

Reach: Got this challenge in Slayer Pro. Started as Warden loading for stickies. Made it much easier after the rest of the day I have had trying to get it.

Less than 80 hours now

I am so excited. But there is still so much to do. ODST on Legendary. Anniversary on Heroic and Legendary. I have not even finished Wars.

Blastin and Relaxin

Never my favorite challenge. The body count is too low and so is the payoff. When this is up I cannot make mire challenges for body count all day. And in firefight I can do 800 kills in 3 hours for 10k CR. This is a gyp.

Up close and personal

Reach: gotta love Grifball for Melee kills. Thanks to PNUT and D3AD for winning. Suck it, Blues!
