Those first lot of achievements look incredibly easy, you could probably pick them up in a couple of games.
except..
* Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
Do you think you have to play through the whole game with Iron on? Or just the last level?

Certainly in the case of Halo games, as they are ever so average

It will be interesting to see which achivements ive earnt retroactively.
Hopefully those new maps will be released pretty soon. I dont know how skull hunting will work on them though - seems a bit strange.

I'm hoping its just the part from when after you kill the Guilty spark thing. ( jsut when the level starts falling appart), because there arent any ghosts in the level before then?
Just so everyone remembers what Iron does, if ANYONE dies you all get sent back to the beginning of the level.. on legendary..

Do they work retroactively? I'd expect to have most of them already if that's the case, which kind of takes away the fun of it.

Still, if you can just start from there it's very much doable, I started from there to get the Legendary ending and did it in one attempt, it's probably the easiest part of the game.

According to Sarge's gamerscoreblog quote they do. Having looked on xbox.com the achievements seem to be divided between the legendary maps and the new set of 5 mythic maps. So its only if you got the requirements whilst playing those maps. So im predicting a playlist with only these premium DLC maps?

I think that's only for single-player. In co-op it sends the party back to the last checkpoint.

If you've managed the full thousand these should be no bother really, provided you have the Legendary DLC.

Shame they left them available to social matches though. I give it about 3 hours until some people have every single one of the above.

Double Double (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get two Double Kills during any ranked or social match.
* Poor Yorick (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 Oddball melee kills during any ranked or social match.
* Came…From…Behind (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 assassinations during any ranked or social match.
* Defend This (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get a flag melee kill during any ranked or social match.
* Flag Dropped (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 2 flag carrier kills during any ranked or social match.
* Road Rage (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 5 Warthog chaingun kills during any ranked or social match.
* Look Both Ways (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get a Splatter Spree during any ranked or social match.
These ones all seem easy enough. Well, not sure about the Splatter Spree I don't tend to use vehicles very often. Those Mythic Map ones look more challenging. BTW, what are the Mythic Maps? Are these released yet?
