Xbox 360 owners, what's the easiest/hardest achievements you've ever...achieved?

[Piuc2020]

Maybe you should edit the thread title to get PS3 owners in the post as well, trophies are pretty much achievements.

I don't really try for the hard achievements so the hardest would probably be FC a guitar hero song on expert. I did it while drunk and haven't been able to do it since. Being drunk relaxes me when trying hard songs so I don't get nervous or tense and fuck up.

The only achievement I've really put any effort into was COD4's Mile High Club. I was never able to pull it off, but it was fun trying 5 or 6 times.

I'm not real big on achievements. I'm not saying they bother me... I just don't care about them. I remember when Cliff B. (of Epic Games) once said that he thought they were brilliant because they make people play a game longer than they otherwise would. I thought it was a dumb comment at the time, but I've since been proven wrong. It wasn't a dumb comment, it's a dumb reality.

that and completing the mock up were the last 2 achievements I needed for a complete 1000. CoD WAW it is damn near impossible to get the veteran achievements except the vehicle levels. Oddly enough I got the "complete a level without dying" while doing the tank level on vet.

Pfft, wanna hear a really dumb reality? I've played/finished games that I didn't enjoy for the sole purpose of getting the achievements. Granted, I rented them for free, but still. That was early on in my 360 gaming experience and I've since discovered that while I still love unlocking them I'm not going to play a crappy game just to get them.

I spent probably 500-600 tries getting that achievement. I could practically do the level with my eyes closed by the time I finished. Definitely one of the achievements I'm most proud of.

The moment I finished the main game on Veteran, I put down the controller and didn't even attempt Mile High Club on Veteran. I didn't need any more frustration (the main game on Vet was hard enough!). Congrats though.

My days of playing shooters on the highest difficulty setting are (probably) behind me. I only got part of the way through Halo 3 on Legendary and I haven't picked it back up since. As for COD:World At War, I finished that one on Normal and it was quite frustrating enough. Some parts were very easy, yes, but other parts were really annoying and I can't see myself beating them even on Hardened, much less Veteran.

Halo on Legendary isn't bad at all IF you're playing co-op. With 4 people it's really quite enjoyable.

I'm definitely proud of that achievement...if you can be proud of video gaming.

I, too, must have done that about 300 times. I remember making it to the end twice and running out of time and being so pissed. A few months after beating it, a 'how to' video was put onto Xbox live. There were a couple things that, if I had known, would have made the level easier. One of the tips was to rely on the AI of your team mates. I wasted about .5 to 1 second at the beginning knifing the baddie exiting the bathroom. However, if you just run past him your team mates with take him down.

Halo 3 on Legendary is a good one, too. I wouldn't ever have been able to do that one on my own. I got that one with my brother, sister and brother-in-law over the course of a few nights. It was really fun. I wish more companies would make co-op campaigns.

This is so true, single player is freaking rough though!

If by Hard you mean frustrating then it would be between beating COD2 or COD4 on veteran.
If by Hard you mean the most time consuming, then it was visiting every shrine in Two Worlds. Took about 50 hours to visit every square foot of the map.
