Vidmaster Challenge: Annual



"Let’s dive into this a little deeper and try and address some of the questions that will no doubt arise from the community. First off are the “Vidmaster Challenge” achievements. These three will not earn you any gamer points but there will (eventually) be a pay-off. We’re not going to spoil the fun just yet but suffice it to say that gamerscore isn’t everything. There is a pot of gold at the end of the Vidmaster rainbow and it is something you will want. More details later."

Vidmaster Challenge: Annual is a new achievement where you have to complete Halo after 9/25/08 on four-player Legendary Co-Op with the Iron Skull activated, and everyone in Ghosts .

It has been announced that while the Vidmaster achievements do not give you any points, they are worthwhile for some mysterious prize when you get all of them. The following statement at Bungie.net confirms this:

The only way to get Ghost's in the mission, Is to play on Legendary Co-op from Mission Start till End. They will not show up if Level is Started from Rally Point Alpha or if played on a Solo Campaign.

The ghosts also have a major disadvantage against the warthog. the fact of auto-aim. this problem means that some passageways guarded by carrier forms become almost impossible to access, attempting to speed past carrier forms is now impossible, because your cross-hair is pointing at the you will lock on to them and drift towards them, resulting in damage to your ghost and the fact you may fall to your death. So if possible, set auto aim off before trying.

A secret way has been discovered to complete the challenge much faster. It is possible to skip climbing up the tower by climbing up the slant on the way up, jumping across and landing 1 floor up.
