How to unlock the Totally Worth It achievement in Halo: Reach - Definitive Guide
Also, I somehow got this without buying the noble map pack, which although weird, I'm not going to argue with. Free 100 DLC points when I don't have the DLC (also got Both Barrels.)
The Best way to get this achievement is boosting. You can have up to 3 guests in multiplayer, so if you and a friend each have four controllers, you only need 2 people. Just have your friend place his 2 guests against a wall and grab a shotgun or sword (or any1 hit kill weapon, these are the 2 easiest to use though) and stand behind you. once everyone is in position, take out the 2 people you plan on killing's shields and throw a plasma grenade above their heads and have your friend immediately kill you. if you did it correctly you should die before the grenade goes off and get the achievement!
If you don't want to boost, this will take time and a little bit of luck (or lack if look depending on how you want to look at it). The best mode to do it in is either Invasion or Big Team Battle. The reason for this is that there is lots of vehicle play in both.
Your best bet is to get invasion on Spire. in the round when you are on the Elites team, Try letting the Spartan get to the third phase. During this phase the Spartans get a Warthog (also available during phase 2) and a Falcon. Both of these vehicles carry up to 3 people.
when you spawn in phase 3, you should spawn behind some cover that looks like the purple thing in this pic http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10783... (note: you can chose to spawn here, if you don'd see this landmark press up or down on the d-pad and it will move your spawn location). Once you spawn here, head to the right and continue along the path http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=10783... (pic for reference) until you get to the plasma launcher, which is located behind the rocks shown in the previous pic.
Once you get the plasma launcher, move to an area that you can jump off the edge and wait for the other team to grab the Falcon and get in range. use the right thumbstick to zoom in and wait for the reticle to turn red. Fully charge up the launcher and fire all four rounds at the Falcon. Once you see the rounds are tracking, jump off the edge and enjoy your achievement. hope this helps :) Good luck!
Go to the Invasion playlist, I recomend the map "Spire", but any map will do as long as it is the "Invasion" gametype, and not "Invasion Slayer". Once you get into a game and are playing as the elites, select the class with the plasma pistol, and evade
If you're unfamilier with invasion; There are 2 rounds. You'll play as the spartans one round, and as the elites for the other. There are 3 tiers each round, and the round ends if the elites fail to complete the objective in any tier, or in the case of the map "Spire", if the spartans fail any tier.
During the second tier of the round, a warthog always spawns for the spartans (on all maps) and generally two people will jump in and go about gunning for some easy elites kills. This is what you want, while you're playing as an elite. When you see the warthog, disable its engines with an emp from an overcharged plasma pistol shot, then carefully toss both of your sticky grenades at the warthog (sticking a warthog twice will destroy it, or once if heavily damaged). You should use evade in order to close the distance, or dodge the machine gun fire before you throw your grenades. Usually the machine gunner will kill you before the grenades detonate and destroy the warthog which will kill him and the driver and earn you a double kill from the grave.
I got this achievement by my 4th game when I was actually trying to go for it, with a triple kill from the grave. I did it on Spire, and I think it's the best map because the spartans are on offense so they come to you, and the warthog drivers generally drive around the spire, so they're more predictable. BTB also works, but then you have to find the plasma grenades as you will most likely be a Spartan, also, some maps like Hemmorage will make this a nightmare to get in close enough to stick the warthog, so I think Invasion is still your best bet because there are only 3 maps it can be played on.
This may be a more time consuming method than just boosting for it, but it can be done solo, fully legit, and involves more skill than luck. As an added bonus, if you have yet to earn the "Skunked" or "Be My Wingman, Anytime" achievements, which both involve the invasion gametype, you'll almost certainly get them both by the time you get this achievement. The other achievements are for winning one game of Invasion, and letting 5 people spawn on you, respectively.
I did this one by jumping on a wraith and sticking a grenade in the front. If you see 2 guys in a wraith or tank you should have time to get a grenade in there just before the gunner shoots you off.
I got this on my second attempt trying, by playing a regular Slayer match on Sword Base. You want to attempt it on this map because it has a small room with a lift, and people tend to pile up in that room (with swords and shotguns) to instantly kill people coming up the lift. Because of this tendency on the Sword Base map, all YOU have to do, is just crouch in the room below the lift and watch your radar. As soon as you see lots of enemies above, go up the lift and quickly throw a sticky as you let them slay you down. You instantly die. They get stuck and die. Ka-Ching! :) The only way this might take you longer is if two or more on the enemy team are using Armour Lock. But just keep playing Sword Base, and keep going up the lift, and you will get this achievement eventually!
You'll need the Noble map pack.
What you'll want to do is figure out first off if you A. want to boost, or B. want to do it legit.
If you choose to boost it get some controllers together and some friends, or just friends, or just controllers. Then just boost it. It's a hard achievement to boost thought if not in elite slayer since you need stickies basically.
If you choose to do it legit, then play big team battle and always vote for elite slayer. This gives you the best chance at getting it since with lots of people it's more likely that a sticky will kill two people, and also more likely that you'll die. Personally, I got it on Hemorrhage during Infection Slayer as the elites but I'd still go with elite slayer.
Good luck, guys!
Happy double killing from the grave.
And also, if you want to see a video of what it looks like when it works download this video to your xbox (it's the time that I got mine):

Please note, that in order for this achievement to work you need to have the double kill award and TWO kill from the grave awards pop up at the same time in order to unlock it.
The best example i've seen so far of this being done in an invasion match is the following youtube video. The guy was massively lucky to get all of that, but very worthy of doing the achievement legitimately.
Find a game of big team team slayer on Spire. Behind the red team's base spawns a rocket launcher, right in front of their banshee. If you're on red team simply run there and pick up the rockets (usually there aren't any people back here but occasionally someone will by trying to steal the banshee or something) and then run back to the area by red's base. Off the little ledge behind red's base is a little rock formation right next to the cliff. Again, usually people don't go in this area but it could be dangerous if the spawns swap or something. In any case, You need to crouch next to the rock (on the cliffside) that's further back. Essentially, you want to hide from the road and the red base as best you can. I also recommend using the active camo ability in case someone gets too near.
Once you have the rockets and are in position, you should be able to see most of the spire. Now you have to wait for a falcon with two or more people to come into view. Sometimes it can be hard to tell but if you see gunfire coming from the falcon, then you'll know for sure. Simply lock on, fire your first missile AS you're stepping off the cliff (to your death) and fire the second one immediately after. It does take two rockets to take down a healthy falcon. Timing your first shot can be difficult (I was always too early) but as long as you're already on the way down to your death when you fire, you should be fine. If all goes well, rockets will hit, netting you a double kill from the grave.
It took me about an hour of actively trying to finally get it, but keep in mind, I can spare you the trial and error part:) Hope this helps.
Also, I uploaded a short video on my fileshare. I highly recommend you take a look at that, as it will be able to clarify any of the locations or tactics that I wasn't able to describe well enough.

What I did was wait till I got Trident or Wayont. Reason for this is that both have open bases where the other team often drive thier warthog into. There is also a spawn of stick grenades inside the base.
So what I did is wait by one of the entrances to the base on Trident. Once the warthog on the other team starting up it headed towards the base killing players on route. it got shot up pretty bad on its way there as well.
So as it moved in front of the base I started shooting. Like a moth to a flame the hog headed in my direction. The hog splattered me and at the instant of death I threw my sticky and boom a few seconds later.
You will be on either the Spartan or Elite team. You will want to be playing on the Elites. Try to let the Spartans win the first phase. In the second phase, the Spartans will be trying to capture the power core. During this tier, run to the ledge where the Plasma Launcher spawns, behind the spire. Equip the Launcher. Wait until an enemy Falcon comes into view. When this happens, quickly zoom in and fully charge up the launcher. Fire when the reticule is red. As soon as you have fired, quickly drop a plasma grenade at your feet.
Your shots should hit the Falcon and will most likely kill it and everyone on board. The shots take a few seconds to reach their target, so you will be dead from the Plasma grenade before your Plasma shots destroy the Falcon. I got the achievement this way on my second attempt.
so defiantly play elite slayer since everyone is evading into each other and you spawn with at least one plasma grenade and go wild.
When you find yourself out numbered activate it and at times they'll huddle around you. As it wears off it emits an emp that takes down their shield. once this has happend, toss a grenade at your feet before it blows they should have you killed off and before they know what hit them BOOM. You're the proud new owner of Totally worth it.
I did also get this legitimately twice in actual play on xbox live, but it was completely lucky. One was on Sword Base where I threw a sticky grenade into the grav lift room and then got killed, and another was on Atom (i think).
This achievement can only be unlocked in Matchmaking within any competitive playlist. This achievement requires you to earn a Double Kill medal (2 kills within 4 seconds of each other) by killing 2 enemies from Beyond the Grave (while waiting to respawn). This can prove rather difficult, so your best bet is to have a plasma grenade handy and get into a firefight with 2 enemies. Get them as close to each other as possible and let them take your shields and health away. When you're about to die, lob a plasma grenade into one of the enemies to stick him. Once you're dead and if you got them close enough together, the explosion will be enough to kill both enemies. This achievement can be rather difficult to do legitimately, so your best bet is to set up a boosting party and get the achievement that way (you can ask for help through the Achievement Trading Thread here). This achievement can be done on any map.
