[edit] Methods
- You can try getting this on either Ghost Town, Avalanche or Blackout. Some people get oddball by searching DLC slayer. Try searching ranked team doubles. You can get a couple Oddball games on Blackout. Just try standing behind a corner or in a Bubble shield and when they come close melee with the oddball.
- Although rare, this is most easily achieved when playing 3 Ball, one of the Double EXP Weekend playlists.
- This method requires a friend willing to help you. When playing a Free-For-All Oddball game, if your friend obtains the ball, and you need the achievement, you can ask for it, and kill him three times.
[edit] Trivia
- Yorick was the deceased court jester whose skull was exhumed by a gravedigger in Shakespeare's Hamlet. ("Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio.")
- In Halo Wars there is also an achievement with a similar name, Alas, Poor Andrew Thomas, when you find the first skull in the game.
- Some players experience that they need to achieve the three oddball kills in one life in order to get the achievement.
- There is a level in Marathon: Infinity with the same name.
