Re: Halo CE Anniversary achievement list!

: Only for an individual playthrough though. For someone who isn't going to
: quit campaign after doing it one or two times, and who knows how to point
: a rocket launcher, there would be no great problem managing to destroy all
: five at some point.

there's a very real chance of people trying it a few times and not having it work, and thinking that section is broken or they're missing another Wraith somewhere-- also aim with the rocket launcher doesn't necessarily mean that much, you have to be pretty far away to be (almost) guaranteed a clear shot at the Wraith and then it can just move out of the damage area

: Your phrasing is starting to paint things the wrong way, as I was careful not
: to say people should play in such and such a way. People can play how
: they like, though they shouldn't expect me to clap when they only get
: through a level after being slaughtered half a dozen times (something
: which would merely indicate that they're playing on a difficulty level
: they can't yet properly cope with).

I think the disconnect here, specifically, isn't with other games or achievements but the majority of players-- I'll die dozens or hundreds of times on my first time through a game, and still be quite satisfied when I finish, if I could count all my deaths in Super Mario Bros. before the first time I beat the game it would probably be in the thousands. I grew up playing Castlevania games but you give me around half an hour with one and I'll probably give you a death or two. I know of people that are significantly worse than me and care about it even less.

: As for what you do if you die, if you're me you say "Aw nuts!" with
: optional addition cursing or growling at whatever fool mistake you made (I
: mean, seriously, I should not have panic-fired my blinkin' rocket
: launcher at that scary sword-wielding cloaked Elite at almost point blank
: range), and you end the mission. Cyborg dead, mission failed, hope to do
: better next time.

which would be right after that, when you start the mission over... or do you mean something else?

You cannot fall off the floor.
