| '''Vanguard''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is unlocked by beating the par score on the level [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. The achievement is worth 10 [[Gamerscore]]. It is represented by a blue circle with a coiling dragon, the symbol for a canceled [[Bungie]] product, [http://phoenix.bungie.org/ Phoenix], in the original game and a screenshot of [[Last Resort]] in the collection. | | '''Vanguard''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[meta-game|Meta-Game]] [[Achievement]]. It is unlocked when the player earns 50,000 points while playing the [[meta-game]] on [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. This Achievement gives 10 [[Gamerpoints]] to the player. |

| | It is represented by a blue circle with a coiling dragon, the symbol for a canceled [[Bungie]] product, [http://phoenix.bungie.org/ Phoenix]. A vanguard is the foremost section in an army. |

|
| The par score for The Covenant is 50,000 points in ''Halo 3'' and 25,000 points in ''The Master Chief Collection''; the difference is due to the fact that the two games feature different [[campaign scoring]] formulae. Though the achievement can theoretically be unlocked on any difficulty, more points are awarded in campaign scoring when playing on higher difficulties.
| | It is relatively easy to earn this achievement, due to its long nature, but you will die many times along the way. Turn on [[Thunderstorm]], [[Famine]] and [[Tough Luck (Achievement)|Tough Luck]] skulls on normal and you should get 50,000 points, if you do it in time. |
|
| |
|
| In the original game, players must achieve the par score individually, even when playing [[Cooperative play|cooperatively]]; in ''The Master Chief Collection'' cooperative players share a single score, potentially making the achievement much easier.

|
| ==Methods==
| | *Meta in ancient Greek means 'after', so meta-game means after-game |
| *On Normal, activate the Tough Luck, Famine, and Thunderstorm [[Halo 3 skulls|skulls]]. Also, try to complete the mission in as little time as you can, as it is possible to gain a point multiplier at the end of the mission based on how much time you take to complete it. | | *This could also be an indirect allusion and reference to another designation for the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] entitled by the [[Prophets]], "Vanguards of the Great Journey" |
| *Alternatively, if you have all the skulls you might want to try it on Heroic, with every skull but Blind, Iron, Fog, and Black Eye. Only try this if you're an experienced Halo player. | | *A Vanguard as a definition itself is known to be a heavy battle unit, usually carrying a large sickle, scythe, or blade during battle. |
| *In ''The Master Chief Collection'' players can earn significant points by destroying unoccupied Covenant vehicles as the game does not differentiate between piloted and empty vehicles; ''Halo 3'' is the only game in the collection with this campaign scoring quirk. | | *In the [[Halo 3]] the Ultimate Guide Magazine it is stated that you need only 15,000 points, which is untrue, as you need 50,000. |
| | *A Vanguard is the lead group in a battle unit, battalion or strike force. It is from the Medieval times. It was the lead advancing unit or "guard" in one's military. It is a small and elite unit of the best. It was supposed to strike fear and destroy everything it crossed leaving nothing unscathed. To be in the Vanguard was the highest honor as it required extreme bravery and skill. |

| *This could also be an indirect allusion and reference to another designation for the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]], entitled by the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]], “Vanguards of the Great Journey”; easily the most important aspect of this level in terms of storytelling is the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s death at the Arbiter's hands. | | *[[Halo 3 Achievements]] |
| *In the ''Halo 3'' Ultimate Guide Magazine, it is erroneously stated that the achievement requires 15,000 points, rather than 50,000 points.
