HARDEST ACHIEVEMENT YOU EVER GOT.

Most irritating single achievement .I have is probably One With The Shadows in Alpha Protocol
Complete 3 missions without being detected or killing anyone (tranqs and unarmed stealth knockouts are allowed).
It wouldn't be so difficult if there were more then just a few missions in the entire game that you can actually get credit for them in (There are 5 total, and 2 of them are right at the beginning of the game before it's possible to get a ridiculously high stealth stat, and one of them has a "Boss Fight" encounter at the end that I'm SURE is only possible to complete and get credit for the achievement is you abuse some of the mechanics of the game (which I did, it still took me about 5 hours of trying to beat that last room without being detected - notably it involved pistol sniping a guy with a tranq dart in the head and then running away and letting the enemies reset.. they don't necessisarily reset to the same positions that they were in when they were all there, so you just snipe the closest one, run, come back, and hope there's a guy close to snipe. Not really cheating, but not really in the "spirit" of the achievement either)
And, occasionally an enemy will see you just before you knock him out, but he won't even show that he's been alerted. You'll think you did the mission perfectly, but you didn't, and you won't know until you complete the final mission that it's possible to complete it on and NOT get the achievement, and then have to load an earlier save. I had to start the game over several times because of that trying to get this achievement.
I did it though. Of course, there MIGHT be easier ways to do the mission, but it's still very tense and annoying, and the glitches littered throughout the game make it all the more difficult.

Oh yes - I hated that on Hard and have never done past that level on anything above normalQuadFish said:

OT:Left for Heads in Team Fortress 2. probably not the hardest but its the one that sticks out since i got it yesterday
I managed to get to the VIP with 0.3 seconds left. Thank God I managed to shoot the terrorist who was holding him hostage. I was shaking so much. If I had missed I would have screamed. Took me about 2 hours to get that far.Thatguykalem said:
Dead Space on impossible mode, took me soooo long, and it was sooo very hard. i had to restart once because I didn't have enough ammo or health to get past a mob, and i couldn't turn back. I was devastated when that happened.
But yeah Epic Tier 3 Engineer is the absolute hardest achievement I have ever gotten

If by Mile High Club, you mean the one in CoD4, on Veteran; I got that. First try, on accident. Beginners luck. And with the pistol they start you off with, no less. Yeah, that's my crowning achievement. There may be others, but I can't think of them. As far as real-life achievements, though...I saved a little girl from drowning in a pool. 'Sright. I saved a life. I know it seems a little lame, compared to doctors, since they save at least one life a day; but that's their job. This was just because I happened to be in the pool longer than anyone else, and I was young and just settling in to being as mature as I am to this day, too. Just think...if I wasn't in that pool, that little girl would have drowned to death, of all the horrible ways to die, in this fucked up planet...Diamondback One said:
Gears of war 1 General RAAM on insane. I swear he takes more ammo and grenades than you can carry at any point in the game. Also seriously 2.0 in Gears 2. 100000 kills counted across campaign and multiplayer. Im up to 5000 i think simply thanks to having played it so many times. Also Halo 3 solo on legendary is simply impossible. I've tried over a hundred times to do it but it is completely impossible when you get to the level cortana. You get swarmed by almost a billion flood that take down your sheild in one melee, half of which have powerful ranged weaponry anyway, and they blend into the goddamn scenery so well i usually get blind-sided by a seemingly invisible mega zombie. Halo reach legendary was easier than halo 3 by a long shot. In halo 3 on the first level you can get instakill sniped from a good 2 hundred meters away at every second checkpoint. In Reach theres no instakill snipers at all. Also cod 4 in general i found was peculiarly impossible while cod 6 was extremely easy in comparison.
Shoot, is it really that hard? I just ended up getting it naturally while playing a Veteran stealth character. Thinking about it, I suppose there are more than a few missions where an encounter gets forced onto you.Altorin said:
I guess you don't need any advice since you already have the achievement, but I'll still say that you should play a Recruit once, then always play a Veteran afterwards. That way you can start the game with Awareness (Master), which is always nice.
I had trouble with that mission also. I had to play it twice: once on hardened then again on veteran. On hardened I have must have died around 25 times at the finale whereas when I did it on veteran I only died once.QuadFish said:
The fucking eye-gouging-god-dammit achievement for killing two people with a Spartan Laser in Halo 3.
I know this will sound stupid, but Overkill for halo 3.
It took like 2 years for me to get.
Of course, it had to be during a lone wolves match, so when there's only 5 other people, and nobody on you team, it's rather rare to do.
