>Implying that GS = skill.

I would rather play competitively, which is a lot more skill orientated. If I had any intention of playing something like the campaign, I personally would not find it very difficult as I am a much better player than 99% of the halo community.

If you disagree with me then I will happily 15-0 you in a 1v1.

Riiight, you self-righteous little prick, i didn't start this all i did was post a guide because the one you did was total shite and doesn't actually help anyone and stalking my stats on halo reach has nothing to do with halo 4, crawl back into your little troll cave.

If you disagree with me ask the 30ish people that voted down on your shitty solution.

im sorry chap but you guide is wrong. only 1st place in regicide or flood counts towards the chivo (1,2,3rd wins only count on your service record) i had 27 wins wen this popped, had a few tie and 2,3rd place wins in regicide and flood along the way. and a tie game no matter the score wont count regardless of your game type.

I think that I am better than everyone else here because I am, at least when it comes to pretty much any recent halo game. You say that I am awful at every other game I touch, yet I am also in division 1 in FIFA 13 Seasons and FUT, not bad considering that is the first FIFA I have played in almost 4 years.

It would appear that pretty much every game I play, I am good at. Certainly well above average.

Its really odd, flood doesn't seem to count alot of the time, i don't have the achievement but according to halo waypoint i'm on 24 wins, but also according to that current monthly challenge i'm on 17 wins. don't understand what's going on here.

what's causing the 7 win difference. i'd say that monthly challenge is accurate as waypoint isn't. maybe the challenge doesn't count wins if you join mid match...? and waypoint does. its just a random guess, probably wrong.

halo waypoint is wrong, i don't understand why either. it will unlock just keep getting a few more wins until it does. when it unlocked for me, halo waypoint said 28 wins and the monthly challenge said 19 wins... it is abit glitched. i don't understand why, hopefully someone figures it out.

By LostMantella9 on 11 Nov 2012 06:11
yes im sure only 1st place in flood and FFA count towards the chivo,
1st,2nd,3rd place will normally count as a win on your service reccord.
ive almost 100 wins but only 67 on my monthly.

http://www.gamefront.com/halo-4-secret-waypoint-codes-raider...

Codes for halo waypoint, you get a set of armor, 2 lots of halo art work and 8500xp sofar.
according to the site theirs more to come.

@General Joury
That is incorrect. I have joined at least 5 games midway that resulted in a win. As soon as I hit the 20 wins according to the Challenge counter, the achievement popped. I got the achievement in a game that I joined midway and won.

@zero judgment

A friend of mine actually had 18 wins, and still needed 2. He only joined 1 game mid-game, and once he hit 20 the Achievement didn't pop. Once he did another match from the beginning the Chievo popped... So this is actually confusing...

And yes, you can look at the Monthly Challenge (Win 117 Matches) and once that hit's 20 the Chievo should pop.

I got it at 24 hence those half way done games not counting, but the last one I joined probably about 30 seconds or so into it, we won the game, and I got the Chevy, so I guess maybe you have to join within 1 minute maybe of the start time

If by now you're just looking to boost this, you can do this with just 1 other person (2 guest accounts signed in so you have a team of 4) and play Team Doubles until you get 20 wins or one side quits after the match has loaded and you can control your characters.

Tomblyboo117's guide is very useful for most players, but this guide is for those of you who don't really play multiplayer, or for those of you who do, but you really suck. (BTW, I'm not claiming to be any sort of expert)

Stick to Big Team Infinity Slayer, Dominion, and less preferably, CTF. The team sizes for these playlists are 8v8, 6v6, and 5v5, respectively.

The larger team sizes of these playlists means that your lack of skill won't be as big of a weight on the team, and you're bound to on the winning side every now and then. On the other playlists, even with the team games, your lack of skill will have a much more significant effect on your team's ability to win the match, which will make it harder for you to get the Achievement.

In addition, because of the larger maps and team sizes, you can still help out your team without screwing up too much and contributing to the opponent's success.

Hang back at your base and try to shoot opponents from afar with the Battle Rifle, DMR, or Light Rifle when you see those opponents engage your teammates. Even if you don't get many kills, it will still help out your teammates a lot, and it's good practice.

In Dominion, you can hang either at your starting base, as described above, or hang out at the capturable base closest to your starting base (either Alpha or Charlie). You can construct turrets, try to fight off intruders, and recapture the base node if an opponent manages to initiate a capture. Again, try picking off guys from afar.

One thing you should not do, is continually charge into battle every time you spawn and get killed over and over. Especially in Big Team Infinity Slayer, this will hurt your team a lot because the other team will get a lot of points and ordanance drops. Also, don't take vehicles and power weapons if you're terrible with them. If for example, you take the wraith (purple tank) and get blown up five seconds later, the other team will be able to wreak havoc with their wraith, and your team will be much worse off than if you let another teammate take it. The cost is more than just you dying. Your team needs vehicles and power weapons to match and outmatch the opponent's vehicles and power weapons, or else your team will quickly fall behind. If you're decent with certain vehicles and power weapons, take them, and practice with them, but remember, if you make it easy for the other team, you're going to be that much farther away from earning this Achievement.

Now, you might be thinking that you could also join these big team games and just find a place to hide. That's true. Do that enough times, and you'll eventually get 20 wins, but honestly, that's no fun, and if you at least play some, you can practice and start to get better.

The most important thing is to recognize when something is not working and to stop doing it; try something different. If you run out into the open and try to spray your gun at the first guy you see, and it gets you killed nine times out of ten, stop doing that! It obviously doesn't work and you're hurting your team. Playing more like a coward is good in the beginning. Let the better teammates do the Rambo, you stay at the edges of the fight and help out that way.

Great words of wisdom, now getting the idiots to admit that they suck is the next stage for them to take on board what you're saying.

Some people still think their amazing at the game and if they don't get "their way" they'll stop at nothing to betray you so they can have that vehicle or weapon... in some weird way of "proving a point" in their mind.

This raises a few points that will prove helpful to all new players, not just ones looking for the achievement. Nice work. +1

Re: the comment above me - All too true. The first step is understanding your own limitations; it makes the game more fun. When I need a personal reminder I go get owned in FFA.

You could also add that when the SWAT playlist is available, you could try that one as it's a lot easier for one really good teammate to carry the team. Just need to be even more careful not to run into open/middle areas.

Infinity Multiplayer :: War Games related. Online Required.
Win 20 matchmade games within War Games mode. Does NOT need to be in a row, nor in one sitting.

“War Games” is the new name for Halo Matchmaking. Although it is possible to boost, it is not recommended as it would be quite a challenge to match with your friends. Team games work best here as you have a better chance at winning over Free-for-all. Just take your time to play online and try to play smart. After winning a total of 20 games, you will gain this achievement.

If you are eager to gain this achievement, “SWAT” games are usually the fastest at around 3-5 minutes.
