"Significantly less" than 1% of Halo players have managed to unlock every achievement across every Halo game, according to the developers of the recently launched Halo hub Halo Waypoint. One of the biggest stumbling blocks for the Halo devoted is picking up all the Halo Wars

achievements -- specifically, the "Generals" multiplayer achievement, requiring a significant time investment.
I was contacted by one excited reader who'd claimed to have mastered all of the Halo achievements, a man by the gamertag of Ghosty Taco. Upon further inspection, however, I realized he didn't have the "Generals" achievement. I tasked him with fixing this and come back to me when the job was done.
He did.
One of you has managed to rack up all 3,950 achievements for the Halo series. He might be slightly insane. You can verify Ghosty Taco's achievements for yourself on his Xbox Live profile.
So, how'd he do it? A tried and true tradition, of course: Exploiting "noobs."
"I got stuck with some noobs," said Ghosty Taco, "with this map that has flood doors and he kept sending units at me while i keep opening the doors and i kept doing it for every noob i meet on that map because it gives me a totaty of 33600 points every match :D"
Bravo, Ghosty Taco. Bravo.

Halo is for 11 year-old loud-mouth racists.
What;s the point in posting this store when COD MW2 is out?

Cant you guys stop posting about Halo. It's boring and overdone....geez!
JohnnyBuku
Or..... you could just skip reading/posting on halo threads.... Just a thought.
fedirko

Grats to Crispy Taco. That's a lot of Halo love. Way more then it probably deserves, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nice to hear that Halo is finally dieing out, it's about time.

you guys need to give it up. just because cod is a great game doesnt mean halo isn't. you should be happy to have different great games to play on the xbox, and if you really dont like halo then dont read up on it then. oh good work on the achievements
gamersince1995
ahh i think we need more MW2 news rather than old halo games

I may not have all the Halo achievements but I do have all the Uno achievements.

I got Platinum on Killzone 2, beat it on the hardest difficulty, and even managed to make it into the top 1% of all ranked players online. Does that make me special? Doubt it.....

not to rain on the parade too much, but i notice on his xbox page that he has not gotten all Halo achievements possible. He completely missed the Halo 2 achievements on games for windows which do still apply to the overall gamerscore and should count if you are trying to count all Halo achievements possible.
