[SYN xMindGate]

Yeah, i thought everyone was limited to only adding 250 extra points, but i guess i was wrong.

 

[SYN Classic]

Knowing Microsoft they would let Halo exceed the standard. 3 times the normal limit of extras lol.

Hint, hint. Hopefully Map Maker!

 

[XGC Yoda]

map maker will make me a halo zombie all over again lol

 

[Shinzon 117]

Some of those achievements look to be a little to easy, but I can agree with everyone else that they should add a map maker or at least some new armor or something.

 

[John John Binkz]

Those achievements are weird. Like the one with the ghosts on Halo? Just strange.

 

[John John Binkz]

Also could u lose your Katana if u have it?

 

[SYN dOmEsKiEs]

any idea when this will happen?

 

[Nepenthe Amity]

The Auto Update 2. aka Title Update. i believe it was said in the Bungie Weekly Update. Let me check.

Yup. here it is

Achievements Unlocked

Inevitably, this will be blown out of context, misread and misunderstood, but let’s do it anyway.

For a number of reasons ranging from obvious to sublime, Title Update 2 (which is the new, hip, Xbox 360-version way of saying “Auto Update” or “Patch”), introduces new Achievements to Halo 3. Last weekend at Penny-Arcade Expo we played Assembly on the TU2, which meant that folks would see and buzz about the new achievements. These will be made live when TU2 turns on later this month - the previously announced date may slip a bit closer to the Halo 3 one-year anniversary.

Here’s a look at these achievements which can be earned via the Legendary Maps and Halo 3 Campaign:

* Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch (0 points) – Get to the rank of Lieutenant in any playlist in the new EXP progression system.
* Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 (0 points) – Enter into any ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th of the month.
* Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
* 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.

As folks have seen, these aren’t the only achievements we’re adding. But without proper context, there’s not a whole lot else we’re going to say. Stay tuned.
