Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Achievements
If you?re skittish about spoiling an experience ten years in the making, we recommend avoiding everything below this sentence. You have been warned!

There?s something indescribably satisfying about unlocking Xbox 360 achievements. Perhaps it?s the customary bleep bloop you hear as the notification pops up on your screen. Or maybe it?s the undeniable feeling of satisfaction gained after reaching each specific goal. Regardless, because of their delightfully addictive nature, we wanted to share the achievements you can look forward to unlocking when playing Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

In addition to the type of achievements that are standard across all Halo titles, we took the opportunity to create several level-specific achievements. This specific batch was born out of community meta experiences spanning the decade since Halo: CE launched in 2001. For example, you can now get an achievement if you complete The Library on Legendary in 30 minutes or less. No small feat but if you pull it off, you will then gain a monument to all your sins. I mean, a virtual monument for surviving the experience.

So, read up and start planning your first playthrough! And perhaps your second, third, and fourth as well.

1st playthrough to breeze through on Heroic, enjoy the game and then one on Legendary. Then subsequent playthroughs to finish the achieves off, maybe in 4-player to make them easier.

Holy crap the more i look at the list the more mental some of those are. Some really challenging ones and atleast 3 play throughs

just dont seem to see the atraction of playing a rehash of an xbox title. the cash cow is coming to pasture on this one me thinks.

ima rent this one, i've decided i don't love Halo much anymore.

Never played the first Halo, but this will be a rental at most, wasn't a fan of 3 or odst, thought Reach was much better though... but I've never got a good gamerscore from a halo game

This achievements list is pretty strong, some of the story achievements are easy it is the difficulty with doing a certain thing achievement that is going to be tough
