Bungie throws a curve ball! BAM new achievements!! yes, the rumors last week are true, there are new achievemnts..this is directly from the weekly update
Achievements Unlocked
Inevitably, this will be blown out of context, misread and misunderstood, but lets 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.
Heres 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.
* CameFromBehind (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 arent the only achievements were adding. But without proper context, theres not a whole lot else were going to say. Stay tuned.

of course, that only claims 200Gs, obviously the other 5 are 10G skull achieves..
btw no, you wont lose your katana/security. the game says 1k gamerscore on it, and if you have that youre good to go. what the forums are arousing is if bungie has some other secret armor hidden in the game, just in case this happened. they also say "no cause hackers wouldve found it by now" but then again, if they could, what about recon? they cant hack their way into recon, so they couldnt get these possible hidden armors either..
hopefully it'll look awesome
alot of people are saying/hoping bungie makes a new armor for themselves and the special people w/ recon now and release recon..which would be cool (the shoulder pads and helmet are cool, imo atleast) but then itd make you think...what would bungie make for themselves?

But how are you supposed to get the 7 EXP on the 7th achieve? Because I'm pretty sure most of us here have way over 7 EXP. All the other achievements look pretty easy. Hopefully I'll be able to get 1250 with all achievements (the 0 point ones too) on Halo.
just gotta wait till the 16th for the playlist/dashboard update, then the 25th for the new achievements...
