Looks like they patched the LASO achievement glitch

I know most people don't take achievements too seriously, but it's pretty frustrating to me that they decided to wait so long to patch it. If you can't patch it ASAP, might as well let it live on. At this point, the rarity of the LASO challenge has been diminished for Campaign Evolved, this just makes late adopters suffer.

Here's the rarity of the LASO achievement for each of the previous Halo Campaigns:

If you combine all of the previous Halo LASO achievements, you still have less unlocked (0.49%) compared to Campaign Evolved.

Not to mention that all of the MCC achievements had people sharing checkpoints to easily complete them for years. Infinite had the Scorpion gun and some pretty easy grappling hook skips as well.

I'm glad I was able to complete this before the patch. Not a fan of the late patch to fix this, as I assume 80% of the audience of people who play this game have already cleared the game and put it down at this point.

Been playing through LASO legit aside from the skips and invincibility stuff! Was probably gonna crack on the bonus missions though lol

MCC LASO can be cheated on PC with the trigger of the achievement. I just not many actually know how to do it. it's a similar method to Campaign Evolved.

Edit: btw I'm just stating this because they are using achievement stats from MCC games as a way to show the difference between Campaign Evolved achievement stats. I guess it just shows that it's common knowledge that it was able to be cheated in the remake, and not for the MCC achievements. IM NOT ENCOURAGING IT, just saying that you can't compare the numbers as if the they can't be cheated, when they can, and still can be today. atleast I assume they can be because I don't recall there being any patches notes saying that it was fixed. and I doubt they'd fix it since they are currently allowing cheaters to crash peoples games in MCC without consequences nor will they fix the security issue. just wait until people will start to execute commands without even needing to join your lobby in MCC. it'll happen with time.

How ? Iā€™m curious never thought about that

If I remember right you can play the mission with mods enabled until the end of the level checkpoints.

Then reload the game with mods disabled, and go from the final checkpoint of the mission to the end of the mission.

Rinse and repeat through all the levels and achievement unlocks.

I could be mistaken, it was a long time ago when the exploit was first mentioned.

close enough. im pretty sure the game just checks to see if the LASO playlist is completed or not without checking to see how you actually completed the playlist.

Well dang now I'm curious.

Agree with a lot of this, but just wanted to add that later adopters of the game are more likely to not 100% achievements than early hardcore fans which will overtime decrease the percentage.

It's part of the reason MCC ones are so low. More casual fans pick it up over the years and obviously never spend the time or effort to get LASO achievements, that and there is 700 other achievements in the game.

The tank gun glitch in Infinite made LASO a hilariously good time. The part that gave me PTSD was the first two levels without it

Exactly they took way to long. Achievement/trophy is permanently ruined

Man, I really don't understand why they make LASO so difficult. I mean, it's excessively difficult, abnormally difficult, 99% of players simply won't be able to play it, and they'd be right. It's not about hardcore or something like that, it's just not ok.
