Reminder: play undead Halo 3, get achievements

Mmmm ... Two For One ...
Just a quick Halloween reminder. Today (and today only) Bungie is hosting a special Halloween playlist on Halo 3. It's an all Infection playlist, because, you know, today is all about zombies. The various members of X3F are likely to be playing some today, so be on the lookout for us and feel free to send invites our way. Oh, and don't forget that multiplayer achievements are active in the Living Dead playlist. You should probably also be aware that the default secondary weapon for humans in the Spartan Laser. So yeah, that should help you nab that Two For One achievement in no time. We managed to do it on our first game today. No, seriously. Happy Halloween fanboys, and happy hunting. Oh, and remember: the zombies always win.

21. Thanks for the response TORO, you actually said the main thing I think i'm missing out on with Halo 3 and thats the Grand Scale Battles. I still love GOW though, people can say what they want about the broken multiplayer - I love it!
But i probably will head out on the weekend and pick up Halo, I just feel like i'm doing something wrong by being a huge gamer and not owning it yet!

22. I went home on break today to play. I changed my armor color to Orange (primary), Brown (secondary) in the spirit of Halloween. It is just cool to have something different for a special ocasion, but it does get old fast.

23. Got my last online achievement in the first game!! Mongoose Mowdown is no longer a thorn in my side.

24. MDJ2010, I'm not sure what you consider "grand scale battles", but under the Social Playlists of matchmaking in Halo 3 there are "Big Team Battles" which are 8x8. 16 players on a map at once is pretty amazing IMHO.

25. I couldn't seem to get that damn 2 for 1, even in a couple of games where I only used the spartan laser, and tried to stay back until there were plenty of targets. I did get Steppin' Razor though, another one that I wasn't looking forward to trying to get. Gotta love everyone bunching up in small rooms with two entrances, and only guarding one of them.
I really enjoyed the Save One Bullet games, as the invisible zombies from the creeping types just annoyed me... as did all the people who seemed to view the game as achievement time, organizing groups of people to kill for the Overkill achievement, and the other trickier ones.

26. While playing this, I finally got Steppin Razor which really boosted my confidence. Thought I'd never get it. Now about that OverKill....
