An Achievement is a reward bestowed and given to players when they accomplish notable gaming feats and overcome significant obstacles in videogames published for Games for Windows Live and the Xbox 360 home console. Since the launch of the Xbox 360, it has been a mandatory requirement by Microsoft that all videogames published on the console (including 360 versions of multiplatform games) feature Achievements.
Most Achievements also endow upon the player Gamerpoints that count towards a gamer's total Gamerscore. These points, while not redeemable, are intended to serve as a tangible form of special rewards for unusual or skilled actions within game play.[1]
Halo 2 Vista Achievements
- Main article: List of Achievements for Halo 2 Vista
The PC version of Halo 2 was the first Halo game to contain Achievements. Since Halo 2 was released on the original Xbox, the Achievement system had not yet been invented. However, Achievements were added to the release of Halo 2 as a game for Windows.

Halo 3 Achievements
- Main article: List of Achievements for Halo 3
In Halo 3, there are currently 79 Achievements to unlock, worth a total of 1,750 Gamerscore. Halo 3 was originally released with 49 Achievements, worth the standard 1,000 Gamerscore, but an additional 30 were added dealing with new downloadable content. Various achievements unlock armor permutations.
Halo Wars Achievements
- Main article: List of Achievements for Halo Wars
58 Achievements appear in Halo Wars, adding 1200 Gamerscore points[2]. All of these Achievements are listed below.

Halo 3: ODST Achievements
- Main article: List of Achievements for Halo 3: ODST
All Achievements in Halo 3: ODST are listed below. Unlike the Achievements from Halo 3, the actions required by several Achievements in ODST must be completed on specific levels in order to count. For example, the I Like Fire Achievement can only be unlocked on the Template:Levelname level.

Halo Waypoint
It is worth noting that Halo Waypoint has no Achievements in and of itself. This is likely due to the fact that because Waypoint contains no original gameplay, any Achievements granted by it would just be rewarding players again for accomplishments they had already completed. Waypoint instead has Awards, achievable and viewable simply by accessing Waypoint after carrying out certain tasks in the various Halo games.
Halo: Reach Achievements
While no Achievements were specified by name, it was confirmed in a recent weekly update on Bungie.net that completing Achievements in Halo: Reach will earn the player credits in the game.[3]
