    Game: Halo 2 Classic
    Game mode: Custom Game
    Level: Coagulation

    In front of the red base on the map you will see 3 rocks. Go in the middle of these rocks, and analyze the sides of them. The one of to the left side (closest to the cliff side) will have a drawing on the side of it of a smiling face. Look at it for a few seconds, and the achievement will unlock.

    PostmortimusSo I had to basically run around to every smiley face that I could find (5 is what I could determine) then stand considerably further from the red base one, put my damn controller down in frustration, and it finally unlocked. The damn smile was barely on the screen.

    Pure Pip RaptorI found the smiley face and stared at it and nothing happened. I stepped back, nothing. I picked up the shotgun and it popped...weird.

    RubberSoul1990Same for me, left it for a minute but didn't pop until I picked up the shotgun in front of it.

    On the map "Coagulation" in the Halo 2 classic maps head over to the red base. From there find three out in the open rocks in front of it. The one on the right facing the base is where this weird face is. Shoot all over it like shown below and the achievement should pop, note it's delayed

    TheGrand SaltOmg! I’ve tried so many times to unlock it. It only unlocked after I emptied like 5 clips into it. Thank you for this guide, even thought you were probably joking.

    Just a heads up, this same face can also be found on the Blue-side of the map, in the cluster of rocks outside the base.

    The Blue-side face will NOT unlock this achievement.

    I left my screen on the Blue-side face for a few minutes before I bothered to look at where I was, compared to the other guides posted. When looking at the face near the Red base, the achievement unlocked in a few seconds.

    Just thought I'd share to hopefully help some people avoid confusion.
