I earned them the hard way, and to be honest they feel less like achievements since everyone assumes I boosted.

I boosted overkill, triple kill and triple sword kill. I joined a game that people were boosting in so I decided... why not? Really seemed pointless because I've played lone wolves a lot and I've gotten triples, overkills and triple sword kills more than once already.

Im not talking trash about boosting, or users who do it. I am just curious to how common it is. But I do know that when I earned overkill it was one of the greatest feelings I ever had from getting an achievement, just because I tried to get it for so long.

I'm not really proud of boosting those kills either. I just didn't want to leave and lose experience.

Thats cool, I think if Id had the oppurtunity to boost i might have taken it. Yet it still is alot of fun to screw up the plans of people who try to set up the steppin razor and overkill.

No. I still have to get the free-for-all achievements. Eventually, I suppose.

Just by getting into a party where everyone agrees to go for achievements. There are other ways of doing it, but they involve changing you language prefference, its not worth it either way because you will find yourself trying to boost more than earn the achievements.

Haha, that is a good feeling, but it really has to suck for them. Once you return to the lobby pretty much everyone hates you.

I got them during the zombie weekend thing. Not that I was even trying to get them in the first place as I dislike Lone Wolves.

The only one for me was the maybe next time buddy. I just joined with a friend on rumble pit, got snowbound and did it that way. I still have a couple to go, but I personally rather just get the achievements myself instead of trying to boost them.

Boosters are for losers. Boosting just means that you fail and ask for advise. I mean thats why we have an achievement system, TO ACHIEVE 8)

I guess, but you have all 1000, didn't you have to look at a guide in order to find where all the skulls were? I know I did, but thats just because those don't really feel like achievements to me, more like tasks...

boosted one achievement: Overkill. I really didn't want to, but since everyone else in the random party was boosting to get it, I decided "why not?" No harm, no foul. I'm actually disappointed that achievements in Halo 3 are so easy...

theres a difference between adversity and ridiculousness when it came down to some of these achieves. As much as i want to believe that most of you people earned it, i cant. You got to be EXTREMELY lucky to get a triple kill with a sword, two kill simultaneously with the laser,as well as getting an overkill. Im not patient enuff to keep playing this game hoping that one day the oppurtunity will come. And i dont like the game enough to the point that i am playing it 24/7 like most people. There are better games coming. I dont care how proud you all are for earning your achievements in this game.cookies for you. Its just a game.

I haven't got them all and I don't think that I will because I haven't boosted, although there have been games where other people have been doing that!

I am currently having a wrangle with my 14 year old brother in law who says I am rubbish at Halo because I don't have all the online achievements - but he boosted to get them! You can imagine the conversations!!! :lol:
