Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
Yes they do, and that's also partly because it costs money to replace the standard-issue front sight on ARs with a flip-up one. It's not ideal. It would be different if you could use the irons as-is along with the scope, but you can't. Not on the DMR, and not on the M4 with the setup I think you are referring to.
The ACOG + Magnifier has a different argument going for it anyways in that you have the option to change magnification

I thought the whole point of co-witnessing was to maintain some kind of zero? If your using a scoped optic that you would have to adjust then why would you want to have the front sight up after you have found zero? I mean when adjusting for drop and such?

They purposely align the irons and combat sight in case the optical sight's batteries die. In some cases yes, it's to maintain a zero, but not always. Matter of fact, depending on what scope, mount, etc is used, depends on if it's upper 2/3rds, lower 2/3rds or absolute alignment. In any of the three cases, the scope and front sight are aligned.
E: i don't think the front sight is even as high as the optics on the DMR so this is all pretty much irrelevant anyways haha.

So they released the list of achievements. Some of these seem pretty hard to do, which I like.

Complete the Warthog ride on the level “The Maw” on Legendary difficulty with at least a minute remaining on the countdown.
Not sure if I ever tried to do that or not...
Quote:
After activating the map in the level “The Silent Cartographer,” complete the rest of your mission without firing a shot on Heroic difficulty or above.
I wonder if you can just play co-op and get this, or if your team mate affects it?
Quote:
Kill all the enemies in the first encounter of the level “Truth and Reconciliation” without being detected.
I'm pretty sure I've done that before. If not, there's always Easy.

Storm the Beach on the level “The Silent Cartographer” without losing any marines on Heroic difficulty or above.
Should be easy in co-op
Other than those, it should be easy to get 100% like in ODST (still working to get General in HW, 260k away -_-).
Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
That's a pretty solid achievement list. Good job 343i.

Re: Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)
Wow. Besides 'Grenadier' and the new content achievements, I can safely say I've done everything on that list at least once.
Christ I played Halo 1 a lot.

So you've gone through Two Betrayals without at least picking up a new Plasma Pistol and without killing Grunts. Those are almost knee-jerk things we do without thinking about them. Also, please share how you get over that rift in the tunnel on "Halo" without a Warthog. If I recall, it's too large to jump and too high to 'nade jump from the bottom.
Apart from the ones I just mentioned, the only other one I have not done is to go through the Library in less than 30 minutes. The Two Betrayals ones are gonna suck. They would pick the worst level of the game to put such achievements on.
Grenadier is going to be easy to do, just kill everyone before you hit the button and sprint back up to the top using grenades and melee only on the guys who spawn after. Normally, I just skip half the descent by dropping four stories using the Overshield trick and killing everyone on my way back up.
On the level AotCR, in all of the years I've spent playing Halo, I've ALWAYS managed to snipe that Elite who pilots the banshee before the letterboxes disappear. Even on Legendary. Not once have I ever missed. I love that. Also, the achievement for the killing of Wraiths should be to kill all 5, that one over the cave entrance is a bit tricky and people usually forget about it.
