Adding Achievements with XLAST

Titles use achievements to reward gamers for significant accomplishments within a game. Accomplishments can be fairly generic, such as having the highest number of kills on a competitive map, having the fastest lap time for a specific track, or simply completing the game title. Achievements can be awarded for very specific and custom accomplishments, such as killing 3 enemies within 4 seconds of one another in a ranked free for all playlist in Halo 3. The Xbox 360 and LIVE Authoring and Submission Tool (XLAST) provides an easy way to create achievements for your game configuration.

For a more in depth overview on achievements, see Achievements Overview.

This overview discusses the following topics:
