I mean, beating a solo level on legendary without even firing a gun or throwing a grenade??? do you think you could actually go through an entire mission doing nothing but meeling enemies? or just run through it?

Wow that's ridiculous. It took forever for me and my friend to go through the levels of Halo 3 on legendary. I can't imagine doing it without firing a shot.

It says on LIVE, I'm not very informed on the game but doesn't this mean you'll have teammate(s)? If so, you could have them kill everything while you just...do nothing.

Being a bit of a tactical shooter, I'm guessing the level design will accommodate a lot of sneaking around.

Difficult, but probably managable if you figured out a good strategy.

I totally agree. I don't think I could ass it off myself, but there are always those that can. If only a select few.

It does distinguish the pro's from the rest (me being the rest):P

Actually, all of those seem pretty do-able.
My only concern would be passing the 4th Set.
That one will probably be very difficult.
I don't know if the guys that I did "Annual" with would be up for it. Getting Annual almost destroyed our friendship as it is.

Alright. It would seem I am not a very observant person. :P I'm sure people will find a good way to get the achievement when the game is released.

No.

SET 4.
Not round 4.

5 Waves make up a Round. 3 Rounds make up a Set.
They want you to reach Set 4.
That's 60 Levels. Now remember that more skulls get turned on as you progress through.

i think we are getting some achievements mixed up, there is one for getting to the fourth set on heroic on 4 player live co-op AND one for finishing a level on legendary with no shots fired or grenades thrown solo

I may have mis-read the achievement.. but you wouldn't need to progress to the next round. It's on Single Player.
If it IS. No problems there.
I'm pretty sure they would've incorporated some way of being slightly stealthy.

In a few of the gameplay trailers there are patrols that don't react until you shoot them. Avoid them.. and when the part on the bridge comes along, just run and set off the bombs.

If it's on Firefight, you'll have to hope your friends can take care of it for you.

I think srn made a comment about Both achievements.

The Round 4 achievements.. I replied explaining that it was Set 4, not round 4.
The other one was to do with the Legendary Level, which I replied to in my above post.

Sorry for the confusion there.

There are 4 Vidmaster achievements for Halo 3 and 3 for ODST. Do you need to unlock all 7 of them or just one set from one of those games to unlock the armor?

The "No shot" thing is easy. Just play on Uplift Reserve, drive off in the warthog without your teammates, and drive until you get to the ghost on the rock. Take it, and boost through the level.

Uplist reserve for the Classic achievement. Just hijack a ghost and boost through the level, don't even fight anybody.
