Annoying Achievements

Ok, so ever since my brother somehow got our shared gamer profile banned from Xbox Live (kudos to the company, by the way, for TOTALLY clearing up the details of that bullshit ¬¬) I have been trying to regain my Halo 3 and ODST Achievements. Sad? Yes. But that ain't the point of this rant.

I am now tasked with the Everests of under valued achievements to re-earn:
  • Vidmaster: Annual - 0G: "Complete the final level of Halo 3 on Legendary with the Iron skull turned on, on 4-Player Xbox Live with everybody in Ghosts". You don't have to be a Halo geek to understand that this is incredibly frustrating and hard to do. Especially since everyone and their mums already have it!
  • Overkill - 5G: "Get 4 kills within 4 seconds of each other in any ranked free for all playlist". Now, seeing as Lone Wolves is the only consistant free for all playlist, and has only 6 players per game, with a respawn time of roughly three seconds, mathematically the odds of getting this one are slim, at best.
  • Two for One - 5G: "Get two kills with one Spartan Laser shot in any ranked free for all match". Essentially see above, but this time calculate the odds of two players standing within the range of a linear beam with enough time to charge the laser and kill them both. Then add in the fact that there are very few maps with the spartan laser on that appear in free for all games.
So, to summarise; yes, I'm a total geek who gets pissed off at the most geeky things too easily - and yet I'm more annoyed because I feel I have a right to keep these achievements, having earned them once before. Paaah, I'm going to bed. Anyone wanna do Annual, Endure or Deja Vu - message me!
