Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

I like your theories :-)

I'd love to see some additional achievements, so long as they don't tamper with the skulls. I mean, if you stop and think about it, to get the "effects" of the skull to work and to place them on the levels themselves, you'd have to download the missions. Too large of a file to be doing that sort of thing. Remember the sizes of the campaign missions for Halo 2 Vista? All I can say is OUCH! lol.

Maybe "skull achievements" doesn't mean new skulls, though. Think about it. Unless they recreated the campaign levels or made new ones, how would they even get new skulls in there? I'm pretty sure (or at least hoping) that this would in know way actually tamper with the number of skulls or effects, meaning SLASO itself remains the same.

I know, I'm well aware of that. I was curious as to what they actually represented, but I'm really big on theories, and I'm usually pretty accurate, so it's possible their either:

1. Jokes
2. Meta injected into the Campaign maps' code for AU2
3. Not Skulls at all
Lol, I hope you are accurate on this one.

Well, from what's been discovered, there's 30 new achievements.

Totally Halo 3's achievements to 79, and 1750 gamerpoints.

Also, yeah, those maps were HUGE.

Have you been following the walkthrough so far? What do you think?

PS - New campaign Achievements would be awesome! :-) I hope if there's one for beating the game with all skulls on, that it automatically unlocks for us :-)

Well it could be an extension....so instead of going over the 1250 limit it could be starting a new one. If you know where I'm getting at.

I haven't actually had time to check the walkthroughs. Been far too busy with new projects.

I finished LASO, so I didn't really feel the need to concentrate on it. I've been doing SEASO, SNASO, and SHASO...just for the comfort of knowing that I've done it.

But yeah, I can't wait for new achievements. They're going to be schweet.

Well, keep in mind that the 360 is about to receive a huge update, so it may be possible to increase game's achievements to 1750.

To Ball3r: I can't imagine there being an actual campaign extension unless they released it on a disc. We're talking a few hundred thousand megabytes per file for Halo 2. I can't even begin to imagine what it would be for Halo 3.

Ok, I just got to the Brute with the Fuel Rod Gun and got ambused by Ghosts again! Got damn it. I slowly go up the hill leading to the area before the AA Wraith. BAM! 2 Ghosts hit, I take out 1 but the other kills me.

I would call that the super sweetness update.

Very good point.

But I have come to think that these achievements are fake, we will just have to wait and see.

Star, Vince, and I did a practice run on The Ark last night. Take the Warthog and give your passenger the rocket launcher. We made it through the first time.

Warthog? The one by the Prowlers?

Yep. Odds are it should still be intact. If you can keep at least two of your Marines alive, you should be in good shape.

Ok, I cleared all the Prowlers and have 3 Marines left. What should I do with them? Also, I have NO shields.

Use the rocket launcher to take out two of the parked vehicles. Save the remaining round for your Marine. Load up the warthog. When something starts shooting at you, jump out and let the Warthog take the damage. Do this until all the immediate threats have been destroyed.

Ok thanks. And I'll let the other Marine take the Prowler and distract the enemies :)

I'm in the Scorpion. Just killed the Hunters. Any tips what to do next?

At this point just stay back and take your time. Shoot everything from a distance. In addition, you know that area where you find the skull? You know that big rock that allows you to get there? You can actually drive the tank up there and shoot down. Great for killing Ghosts :-)

  • 09.03.2008 8:51 AM PDT

Well, that's a nice tip.

Also, I'm guessing the new content will be a separate Gamerscore, meaning it starts at 0 and Halo 3 remains at 1000GS.

Possibly, but as stated in my other thread, new skulls for campaign just won't happen.

You really don't need to do that. Ghosts get annihilated by tanks and as long as you stay back and underneath the bridge, the Wraith can't hit you either. Just watch out for the Fuel Rod grunts up the hill.

Which is what I did on my origina run, but thought I'd offer a different avenue just in case :-) But you're right in that it isn't necessary.

DAMN IT! Got to the Scarab and DIED! A Chopper came under the rock I was in and killed me. After I killed 3 Choppers that came through the same way. I had no Shields while Fighting the Scarab.

What a waste of 1hour 15minutes!

I feel so sad :(

Least I know I can get that far.

Also, Before I got to the Scarab, a tank started spinning like hell then flew like a thousand feet into the air and exploded.

Hey at least you didn't get to the end of the level can get killed by a Carbine Jackal. Am I right?
