That shit happened to me on the last Splinter Cell...Beat it on Realistic or whatever and didn't give me the achievement for it.


Still hate that game to this day.

Is Forerunner the last mission? Also, did you play a little bit solo and a little bit co-op, because it won't work that way. It happened to me in Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. I didn't get the achievement for completing the fifth chapter on DC's story.

Nope, I loaded up the Alpha checkpoint and played until i got to the jungle.

Matt, it wasnt too hard. The open area with the banshees is kind of a bitch, but I've found that the AI just stands there and lets you headshot if you're far enough away.

Might be the problem - should try it from the last checkpoint in the previous mission, then play all the way through.

Bonus points for having Tough Luck and Iron on.

Oh man, I found that mission really hard. I do remember the banshee area being a real bitch. I stook back in a ghost and just shot and them for ages until they exploded.

Aaaaand Legendary Solo conquered. I've heard some people say Halo 4 is the hardest yet but I didn't think it was so bad. I am surprised I didn't wuss out and lower the difficulty. I kind of think the game was better on a more challenging level.

Did the last level make you want to pry your eyes out? Fucking Ininceration Cannons.

I found Reach a lot harder. Took the piss most of the time in that game.

The only part I had a lot of trouble with was the long bridge where you have to run to the portal and all the dogs come after you. I started the level over from the beginning and picked up the Gravity Hammer in the ammunition room and whacked all of those dogs. It made the sniper in the beginning of that room a bitch though. Kept throwing my hologram at him hoping he'd get distracted but it didn't work. In the end I restarted AGAIN and made sure to grab a binary rifle before going through the portal for that room.

And thank you for making Didact a QTE. Honestly, I will always prefer a challenging "section" as a boss battle than an actual boss that's simply a bullet sponge.

Oh man, you did on solo Legendary too? Jealous a little bit. /me attempts to change the subject. I personally like doing Spartan Ops missions by myself.

I haven't played Spartan Ops at all. In fact last night as I hit the guide button to see what I earned, I saw that Halo 4 was only about 460/1000.

Yeah, I was a little upset doing campaign didn't really help my gamerscore. I found out you would have to do optional tasks in each mission.

OPTIONAL?! They're pretty easy to spot

Legendary was easy, especially on solo. Playing with daniel only makes it harder but still I managed to beat both campaigns, anyways... you all suck, I am better yadda yadda (Insert elitist PC gaming rant about nolonger having microsoft exclusives with PC versions here)

If you're not looking at the achievement.
