New Halo 3 Achievements


In Friday's Bungie Weekly Update, Bungie has confirmed the upcoming addition of more Achievements to Halo 3, which we'll see in the soon-to-be released second Title Update for the game.
  • 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.
What's also interesting to note is that Bungie confirms they'll be releasing more Achievements than these, however with the current list, they'll reach the limit of 1250 possible Gamer Points for the game. This means we'll either see more 0 Point Achievements, or Halo 3 may be the first game allowed to break the 1250 cap impossed by Microsoft.

I also find it rather sad that most of these listed Achievements require the Legendary Map Pack. In other words, Bungie and Microsoft Game Stuidos are trying to scam you into spending more money.

Shame.
