Halo Master Chief Collection Achievement Guideline: Part 1 Overall Achievements

Hello folks. This article is the first is a series of articles that will go over a section of the achievements for the Halo Master Chief Collection. Since there are 450 of them, I thought it prudent to break them down into smaller chunks. Today we start off with the initial “Overall” Achievments first brought to us. In subsequent days, I’ll have articles for Halo CE: Anniversary, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3 and Halo 4 Achievments. The last in this series will culminate in those recently announced final 50 achievements.

This is just a guideline of course. You may find other ways to get these achievements. It’s just my way of helping you through this massive list.

Before I go further, I should make mention that with 450 achievements and Halo 5 Guardians being roughly one year away, you’ll need to garner 5 achievements every 4 days to get them all. This is POSSIBLE, though will take some commitment to accomplish. Many of these can be had in one day, while others are going to take time to get. Stay focused and you can definitely reach the goal of being an Achievement Master! Continue reading
