This is awsome! i did'nt know games could add achievements

but will the maps finally be free?

That last one makes no sense whatsoever.

Unless they drastically change up all the maps in campaign and make ghosts available everwhere (you don't just start out on Ghosts after all,) there's no way it can be done. Some places you just can't get to in Ghosts, sometimes you're doing flying levels in vehicles other than ghosts, dealing with Flood in tight quarters, going tons of places Ghosts won't/can't go, etc. And it wouldn't say "Halo," it would say "Halo 3" or "Campaign," etc.

Makes no sense.

Or is it talking about a new map? Haven't been keeping up with Halo.

Thank you! I had to start a new accout and nobody wanted to play 4-player Legendary with me anymore because they'd already beaten it multiple times. This is awesome I will now be able to do that too.

I find that source highly suspect. HIGHLY, HIGHLY suspect.

But we shall see I guess...

Well, Bungie did say that they were working on something big. Whose to say that they aren't making drastic changes? I hear that they're making separate maps of Snowbound and Epitaph without shield doors so they can make some changes. Stupid changes, but changes nonetheless."

That's a lot of achievements for DLC, I thought Microsoft limited the number of points to like 200 or something for DLC?

fake

I'm calling to call bull on this.

"That's a lot of achievements for DLC, I thought Microsoft limited the number of points to like 200 or something for DLC?"

AWESOME!!!!!

....sigh

A lot of these seem very fishy, and the total seems to succeed the 250 point limit (for achievements added post-release, unless the original had less than 1000 points, which is not the case with Halo 3).

Still, any new Halo 3 achievements would be sweet.

I call bull.

The Vidmaster Challenge Annual sounds like a cool and original idea though. It seems to me like they would put a new challenge each year, and that's why the player would be awarded 0GS because it changes.

i dont know about the source...............

but Awesome if its true

I'm skeptical...

The maximum is 50 achievements/1000 points on the disc, 250 points for dlc.  But with games like Ninja Gaiden 2 and The Orange Box, we've seen Microsoft bend the rules a bit.  I wouldn't doubt Halo 3 getting more than 250 achievement points, but I'm going to call bull on these.

 I got all the multipalyer achievements in no more than 3 hours of playtime. I probably would've had them all in the first hour but I hate the spartan laser so that took me a little longer."

Are we talking about Campaign or some new Ghost Achievement on certain multiplayer maps (like you seem to be talking about?)

The way that last one was worded made it sounds like it would have to be Campaign, (Complete on Legendary Live Co-Op, etc.) I mean, for the last one to make sense in Campaign saying the changes would have to be drastic to make it possible is an understatement, the Campaign would have to be changed in a fuck load of places from the ground up. It would have to be a completely different Campaign.
Maybe I'm missing something here..."

Oh shit, I was thinking it implied you had to be in Ghosts the entire game, not just during the last end segment. That's why I thought it was impossible.

Bungie took FOREVER to fix one little glitch where you couldn't unlock some elliet shoulder armour. There's no way they are going to change the whole campaign to accommodate ghosts :P

I thought it was just indicative of those new Achievments being BS, if anything. Even without that Acheivement.... it seemes unlikely that they'll just add another 3 thousand Acheivement Points to the game in one fell swoop.

Ah yeah i never actually added up the gamerscore.

Dont all 360 games have a limit of 1250 points with added content? I've never seen a game exceed that.

I didn't add it up either, I just pretty much pulled that number out of my ass.

If there are 30 at around 25 a pop that's 750 right there, and it looks like there are quite a few 30's and a 50 or two thrown in there, so it looks like it would be closer to 1,000.

I know past games weren't allowed to exceed 1250... like Oblivion when the Shivering Isles was released. Who knows, it is the 360's "biggest" game so maybe they would make an exception and allow it to hit 2,000... just seems odd that they would throw in another 1,000 all at once.

You made Officer in 3 hours of play?"

"RobE said:

Unless you were playing with people in Lone Wolves that all agreed to let eachother get certain Achievements, there is no way you got all of the ones in the first 3 hours of play (let alone the first day or week,) like Steppin' Razor... and all of those little pain in the ass ones.
Claiming you would've got them all in one hour except for the Spartan Laser one (let alone Officer lvl. 70) is a complete impossibility."

yay its true!!!! look at there website!!!!

Check xbox.com, they have all the new achievements listed. 30 more, for a total of 750 gamerscore. Most of them can only be earned on DLC maps. Man, paying for achievements is so much fun.

But the question is when will this Mythic Map Pack be released?  I'd guess early next year because Microsoft would want Gears of War 2 to dominate XBL this holiday, not Halo 3.

Surely they'll be releasing it along with the update, otherwise why add the achievements if nobody can get them yet..

Yep I logged into Xbox.com

Here is a screen shot.

I don't have enough heart to go back and play Halo 3 for the 150 thousandth time.
Sadly, these 30 achievements won't be mine. :[

damn, i'm so not looking forward to having to play this again. i had the full 1000 two weeks after the game came out and i never touched it again.

"The maximum is 50 achievements
