EDIT: I've revised the Gametype to offer points quicker and more efficiently. New link below.

Download this gametype to your fileshare to get these achievements with ease: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=21550...

If you are unable to download the Gametype from Bungie.net. Then from the Main Menu of Halo: Reach, Press Start, Select "File Browser", Select "New Custom Search", Select "Search File Share" and type in my Gamertag: rabidkitty4 and download the Gametype Titled "Firefight Achievements".

The gametype variant lets you have infinite ammo without reloading, infinite health, infinite jet pack, the max point multiplier with Legendary difficulty, and all the skulls turned on. You want to stick with the Rocket Launcher as it is given to you in the loadout screen. This will take you about 1 1/2 hours to do this on your own with ease. To get this done faster, get about 2-3 friends to join you.

Thanks to Sidedish120 over at x360a for the description. Refer to my Youtube Video for more assistance.

I GIVE ALL CREDIT TO RABIDKITTY4.

Not trying to take credit or anything just improvement.

Use Rabidkitty4's guide go ahead and download his gametype

EDIT: if you want I have uploaded the game type on my name, it is called "Hard Chevo" so just download if you want.

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=35867...

make this one change well technically three.
1.Change all Enemies to Elite Generals
2.Play on Corvette
3.Turn off Dropship spawns make sure they are disabled.


Change all waves to Elite Generals everything on every wave even on the bonus change to Elite Generals. Make sure bonus wave time is at 2 minute. Now just fly around and use your rocketlauncher and in less than 30 minutes (got mine in about 19, you can check my service record) you will have this cheevo, I may have gotten lucky (doubutful though) but on my first bonus round i got about 550,000points maybe a little more.

And you know the more people the faster so...good luck.

If you go to download "most downloaded" game types, you should find a few called "1 000 000 in 10 minutes" or similar. Download one and play the "Corvette" map on Legendary difficulty.

Got it in under 10 minutes... plus the bonus rounds are incredibly good fun! Infinite rocket ammo while invincible!

You can also swap your second weapon for the Fuel Rod Cannon (off a dead grunt) for faster shots (Thanks to JediJohnny7)

The following options will get you this achievement in no time, and possibly more.

Set your Difficulty to Legendary (for a score multiplier)

Under Game Options, choose Firefight Settings and Wave Properties and change these settings for Round 1, 2 AND 3 Round Properties. You have to change the settings for EACH ROUND.

Turn on these skulls: Mythic, Catch, Tough Luck, Famine, Tilt, Black Eye, Grunt Birthday, Cowbell, IWHBYD. These skulls will increase your multiplier. Note: You can turn on Cloud if you want, but having radar helps you anticipate enemy drops and score more points.
Now, for each Wave, Initial, Main and Boss, change these settings:
Uses Dropship: Enabled (You will be able to hit clumps of enemies dropping from Phantoms for high scores)
Squad Selection Order: Ordered
All Squads 1-5: Elites (Elites are worth more points than Grunts and you can kill them in one missile hit, unlike Brutes)
After adjusting the settings and Skulls for ALL 3 ROUNDS, enter the Bonus Wave settings and make these changes.

Bonus Wave Duration: 2 Minutes
Uses Dropship: Enabled
Turn on these skulls: Mythic, Catch, Tough Luck, Famine, Cloud, Tilt, Black Eye, Grunt Birthday, Cowbell, IWHBYD.
Squad Selection Order: Random
All Squads: Elites
Back out of the Wave Properties menu and make these settings in the Game Options/Firefight Settings menu.

Wave Limit: No Limit
Turn Count: No Turns
Time Limit: No Limit
Enter the Generator Properties menu and make the following changes.

Generator Count: Disabled
Spawn Order: Sequence
Loss Condition: Lose All
Enter the Scenario Settings Menu and make the following changes.

Hazards: Disabled
Weapon Drops: Enabled
Ammo Crates: Enabled
You do not need to adjust the Custom Skull Settings. Back out to the Game Options Menu and choose Spartan Settings. Ignore the options here -- they won't matter -- and choose the Base Traits Menu.

Choose Shields and Health and makes the following changes:
Damage Resistance: Invulnerable
Immune to Headshots: Enabled
Immune to Assassination: Enabled (This is important -- even if you are invulnerable you can still be killed unless you enable this option)

Back out to the Spartan Settings / Base Traits Menu and choose Weapons and Damage and make the following changes.

*Damage Modifier: 300%
*Melee Modifier: 300%
*Primary Weapon: Rocket Launcher (or Fuel Rod)
*Secondary Weapon: Any (I like the needler)
*Starting Equipment: Jet Pack
*Infinite Ammo: Bottomless Clip (Crucial: No reloading!)
*Equipment Usage: Unlimited

For Loadouts, I would usually just go with the jet pack, and the rockets. You can use any weapon that may help with a daily/weekly challenge, or a needler for the supercombine achievement.

Since you are invulnerable and your rocket launcher will take out Elites in one hit, this just takes time. Your ultimate goal is to just hit clumps of Elites for high scores. After playing for a bit you'll learn the locations of Elite drops. Watch for the drop near the center of the map on the cement platform -- 8 Elites drop here at once! It took about 30 minutes and 750 kills for us to get 1,000,000 points.

This achievement is a lot easier than it seems it just takes time. If you are at all familiar with making custom games then you know that you can change things like weapon damage and health shield etc. Me and my friends did this achievement today and we just set it so that we all had 200% shield, 200% life, 300(I think)% weapon damage and we were invulnerable we all set it to have infinite ammo. This made it so all we had to do was survive for a little while ( I think it took us about an hour in total) Nothing can kill u so all you have to do is keep going til u get 1 million points.

Heres the quick notes version:
1) Turn on all skulls
2) Set life, shield, damage, all my max.
3) Set to legendary
4) Make sure you're invulnerable
5) Set to infinite ammo
6) Make sure you have a rocket launcher and any other weapon of your choice.
7) Be sure to get as many achievement as possible while you do this, 10 DMR headshots, 10 Pistol Kills, 10 super combine (kinda difficult with these settings, you will have to do it on elites (Mostly gold ones) and Hunters. The Killionaire achievement is fairly simplpe since all you have to do is call in the ordinance.

On my own I did this in about 20 minutes. Legendary, all skulls active. Set invulnerability, bottomless clip, and infinite equipment if you like. Play corvette, turn off all dropships on all waves. and set ALL covenant squads to Elite generals( even the bonus rounds.) The kicker here is using custom skull (i.e red) set player damage to 300% and AI health to 10%.Then stand in middle and use an auto weapon to just mow down everything. I thought the plasma cannon worked really well since it is a 3rd person view. (easier to see enemies.

IGN made a video for easy Achievements in the Firefight mode. You can get about 9 Achievements in one game of Firefight.

Follow this video exactly and in about an hour an a half you will have 9 new cheevies including this one. =)

I highly recommend using the map Corvette and picking up the rocket launcher as it is way easier and faster to kill everything.

There is a game type you can download from the File share called 1,000,000 in 10 minutes. It was essentially much the same as the guides below. I got the cheevo in 15 minutes though. I must suck. Still not bad.

Okay, so i did this in about half an hour (might of been more, i lost track of time, isn't Reach awsome?)
Go to the main menu, choose firefight, edit the options so that:
It's on legenday
All skulls are on for every round
Unlimited rounds
The red, blue or yellow skull is made so that the player traits are Invunerable to damage, bottemless cup for weapon ammo, 3x weapon damage, 75% gravity

Now, i reccomend choosing firefight on a map you're familiar with.
What's that? You say you're new to this game? No worries, choose Corvette, a covanant based map, with an easy to learn layout

So go into the middle and kick-ass, the "bottemless cup" you used for your weapons means you can just keep your finger on the trigger
Now i can't remember whether these unlock or not, but if you want, use the magnum, the DMR and the needler to get the three related achievements.
It should take 45 minutes, on average.
If you pick out a jet pack and use that with a rocket launcher on a group of grunts that can net you an achievement and some points as well.

So this gets you alot of achievements, but remember, dont do it in matchmaking, and i recommend going in alone, this way it'll reduce the anoying fact of people leaving early and annoying the crap out of you.

Hope this all helps
Happy hunting!

Go to the Main Menu's Firefight and mess with the settings, making your Spartan invincible. You can even throw on the setting to make your weapons 300% damage multiplied. Just keep killing Covenant until you get the achievement.
