    Well, it's because Bungie is awesome. End of story. Where is "Dust and Echoes" and "They've always been faster" in terms of other halo games? The other three I recognize...

    I absolutely hate the flood in halo ce, It is such a relief that they are not in Halo Reach, the only game I liked them in was halo 2 and only on a few missions.

    The most I've ever hated the Flood was in Halo 2.

    You really forgot where dust and echoes came from? I haven't really played Combat Evolved since Halo 2 died down, but I'll always remember that scene.

    i remember every single one of those quotes (all 25 of the campaign achievements)
    "lucky me" is one of my favorites. and "if they came to hear me beg"

    i also like the random movie references in other achievements. like "be my wingman, anytime" is from top gun. and "an elegant weapon" is i assume a reference to the obi wan quote from star wars.
