The Pants Party Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks to Xyjar for the screencaps. This info can be found on Bungie's website also. Check this link for some good tips from Bungie about the meta-game scoring. They recommend Heroic difficulty with at least one skull turned on, two will help even more. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1201/1430580660_913f48b59d_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1353/1430580762_0894ca9111_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac2565 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Points are earned based on the time it took you to finish the level. You also get points for stylish kills such as heashots. Dieing gives you negative points while killing other teammates in coop also gives you negative points. Finding skulls also gives you points.

Doskir Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 playing with skulls activated adds another 2x (i think) multiplier for each skull thats activated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidAngel Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I think the multiplier is only for skulls you find during the playthrough, I played with grunts birthday on and didn't get any skull multiplier at the end for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doskir Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 alright it looks like the bonus modifier depends on the skull havent figured out how high the multiplier is for each skull but will do that later. i recommend selecting heroic and activating the myhtic and tough luck skulls i got way more than enough points (50k+ in some cases) even when it took me so long that i didnt get any time bonus at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantlionheart Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Well i dunno about all levels but on the first mission i just turn on Health plan, death carrys, Bash to better health and umm tough luck, then i just run and bash every enemy in my way, by the time you have reached the dame u have 15000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Grenade Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I think there is a skull that gives you 3x multiplier, not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iskoot Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I've posted this already...in the Achievement Guide section...but you writing it out is probably easier for them. I just didn't have the time to do that last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fonz Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 i dont understand, how do you start a meta game and where do you find out the points for each level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhead360 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 the easiest way (for me anyway) at to do it on normal but activate 2 or 3 skulls to give me a multiplyer. i have 940 on this game ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantlionheart Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 When in the campain menu press X to find the meta game menu. Also the required points for each level is 15000 for an acheivment. Dont know if the points vary between levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyjar Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 For anyone who doesn't want to install Microsoft Silverlight, I took screenshots: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1201/1430580660_913f48b59d_o.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1353/1430580762_0894ca9111_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK, I don't know if anyone is having problems with these achievements but I played solo last night on crows nest, turned on the Mystic skull and scoring set to 'free-for-all' I got 18000 points by the end and never got the achievement. Then I tried with 2 friends and set the scoring to 'Team' with Mystic on again, we accumulated just over 16k points, still no achievement, anyone else having these problems? Also the coop over Live is REALLY laggy for my friends and I, anyone getting that too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the coop over Live is REALLY laggy for my friends and I, anyone getting that too? I met the requirement on level 6, getting just over 50,000 on 3 player co-op using team scoring, and also did not get the achievement. I really hope this doesn't have to be done solo, but it looks like that might be the case. Also, I haven't had any trace of lag in any of my co-op games (playing all the way through legendary). It's like we're all playing in the same room. The person hosting yours must have had a pretty bad connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junzi Nicuzn Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 You can get the achievement in Co-op, but it will be harder. It uses individual score in either scoring method, not combined score. So you and your friend could get 16000 points on the first level, but if you each only have 8000 you will not get the achievement. My friend got this on Co-op last night by turning on the Thunderstorm and Mythic skulls, Legendary difficulty. He got just over 15000, and the achievement. I found that doing the levels on Heroic with Thunderstorm and Mythic work pretty well. You still get enough points, and it's easier than trying to do it on Legendary.

lostboyz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 We did it on 3 player co-op (normal with some skulls on not sure which ones) for the first two levels, first level we all got it. Second level just two of us got it, but if we spread the points out it is easy to get enough. You have to set the scoring on free for all, not team.

The Fonz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i knew you had to do it on free for all because me and my frinds didnt once on a level and got 100,000 points but yet not one achievement.really stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Damn people! It's only been out for two days (if you count New Zealands[sp?])! How could you possibly be worrying about earning the Meta Game achievements already?!? Of course, this is x360a...kinda the point. Oh well, just decided to post this http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=h3campaign It gives pretty much any tips and trick that you need to know about the skulls and special kills so that you can earn the highest score possible. With this link and the previousely posted screenshots of the scores for each enemy, you should be well on your way to earning those achievements. I on the other hand have to wait until tomorrow before I even get to play the game for the first time...you lucky bastards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossberg Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I dont want to sound stupid but i was looking thru the menu, how do you play a meta game. what is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostboyz Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 when you start the campaign you press x and can turn on scoring and skulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste900R Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 What does it mean when it says Achievement points: 15,000? Does it mean if you get an achievement in the level you get 15,000 points? If it is couldn't you just get a skull in the level and have enough points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRedrum Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 no, what it means is that you need to get 15,000 points in a meta game to unlock the achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
