'''Askar''' is | '''Askar''' is an [[achievement]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''. It is unlocked by beating the par score on the level [[The Storm]]. The achievement is worth 10 [[Gamerscore]]. It is represented by a blue circle with a throwing star, also known as the "Sol" emblem, in the original game and a screenshot of [[Foundry]] in the collection. | ||
The par score for The Storm is 15,000 points in both ''Halo 3'' and ''The Master Chief Collection'', however 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. | |||
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. | |||

The achievement is named for ''Halo'' speedrunner and stream viewer askar___, a member of the [http://haloruns.com HaloRuns] community. The word 'Askar' (sometimes 'Asker', especially in Turkic languages) is found in many languages of the Muslim world - for example in Turkish, Swahili and Bahasa Melayu (the formal language in Malaysia) - and originates from the Arabic word: '''عسكر''' / ''''askar''' meaning: 'Soldier'. | |||
