On the topic of achievements

In Response To: New Medals, not Achievements. My Bad. (MacGyver10)

These achievements are pretty terrible. Like worse than the previous DLC packs for Halo 4.

For one thing, I just want to be done with Halo 4 already. It's not that I don't ever have fun coming back to it every once in a while, but I just don't want to go through the hassle of getting a bunch of achievements again. Secondly, they're all multiplayer achievements again, and they're all in matchmaking as usual. Halo 4's player population is definitely not as big as it used to be, so either you get these as soon as possible, or you'll have a REALLY hard time getting them later on.

Thirdly, and this is what annoys me more than anything- why is there 27 and 33 point achievements? It seems to be generally accepted that achievements should be divisible cleanly by 5. I haven't seen that sort of shit since the 360's early days, and it is the most mildly frustrating thing in the world.

Also, there's an achievement for just sitting in one spot for a minute.
