Bungie reveals Achievements for Halo 3 News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

8 September, 2008

Bungie has revealed a portion of the Achievements due to arrive in the second Halo 3 title update later this month.

All ten of these Legendary Map-based rewards appeared in leaked information aired last week, which certainly bodes well for the other ones.

Bungie also confirmed that an updated build of Halo 3 was running at the Penny Arcade expo, which is where the leaked information originated from.

The 10 official Achievements, totalling 250 Gamerpoints, can be found below. The leaked info, remember, claims 30 Achievements and 250 Gamerpoints will be available in total.

  • 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.

WTF?! "Everyone in ghosts"? What, *ALL* of the time?!

Some of the changes are pretty good. Banhammer gets more aggressive ;)

Online Halo is still the game to beat and it keeps getting better.

This sorta thing might make me buy the Legendary maps... although chances are, if I do, they'll be made free the following day.

Harrumph.

A Legendary map, BTW, is a map available in the Legendary map pack, which you have to buy off the Marketplace.

Lutz; they mean the ending section of the last level of Halo 3, titled "Halo". Where you'd normally do a warthog race along the exploding Halo, there are other vehicles.

Also the article has a typo - means to say there are 30 rumoured achievements for 750 points, not 250.

They've said the legendary maps won't be free, or at least there are no plans to make them free.

With the Heroic maps packs, they did say when they released them that they'll be free about 4 months after release.

Also @ Lutz
I don't get it either, we need clarification...

Cue nausiating people saying "Achievements?" in the lobby.

It's not an achievement if you don't achieve it.

Hmm... Are they adding the ghosts into the final level then? I've seen many a warthog, and I've found Johnsons mongoose... but 4 ghosts... ?
