Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.

How exactly is that even possible?

Fantastic. I heard the rumors of new achievements and hoped they were true.

  • 09.05.2008 5:36 PM PDT

Wow, excellent update, and thanks for taking the time to answer the running questions regarding the achievements....
I'm very much looking forward to TU2.. hopefully it won't get pushed back, although a few days isn't that big of a deal.
Keep up the great work!!

I was ready to post this in it's own thread, but since this came out why not. This update was amazing. Read this, EVERYONE.
Bungie's planz. Seriously:
Halo: Mythic theory (I conceived this, but I noticed that other intellectual members have as well)

I believe that Halo: Mythic will be released as an expansion disk, much like the ones Oblivion had. It will be download-able to your 360's Hard Drive for 2400($30)maybe more, Microsoft Points or bought in a store for $30 (once again, maybe more)

Halo: Mythic will pretty much bring all map packs and auto-updates to those without Xbox Live.

It will contain SIX NEW MAPS:
•Assembly (shown at PAX, Covenant themed)
•Sandbox (The blank editor/Forge 2.0 map in the Bungie EDGE acceptance speech video)
•Orbit (Currently known as Moonbase Alpha, set on a human space station)
•Citadel (Covenant Themed map)
•Heretic (Covenant/Brute Themed map)
•Longshore (Spiritual Successor to Relic from Halo 2 and others, Human or Forerunner Themed map)

There ARE Achievements for these skulls, which could infer that they are hidden in a level, or an extended campaign of 2-6 levels picking up off of the Legendary extended ending.
Obviously, that will up the price a bit. If a campaign extension is true, it will cost $40-$60

Speaking of new achievements
The 750G: Microsoft figured that this is a special occasion, so they granted 250G per DLC (map packs) released so far, plus the Mythic DLC which is another 250G.I was there at PAX, and I have seen around a hundred photos of the dashboard blade showing these. They are real, not photo shopped.

There are 250G dedicated to the Legendary Map Pack, 250G dedicated to the Mythic Map Pack, and 250G dedicated to current campaign missions.

There will be NO NEW ARMOR with these achievements.

The Auto-Update #2 is happening a while before this is released.
There is no Mythic Map Pack. The Halo: Mythic Expansion Pack IS that.
Over the next two to three months, we will get a look at the remaining FIVE maps (Assembly is the 6th) coming packaged with it. Around one map every one to two weeks, actually.
Once all are revealed, the Mythic Expansion will go live three to four weeks afterwards.
Expect this before the end of the year.

This is what Bungie has been planning for us,

Sorry, Bungie. Time to come clean.
Better go re-do most of that update, lukems. =)

Rev.6-8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

yes i would like to know as well

  • 09.05.2008 5:40 PM PDT

there should be an achievement where you have to get 10 snipes in one game. or an achievement where you have to get a kill while on the backseat of a mongoose (while someone else is driving it))

i wish there was a recon type elite armor too =(

by the way, i sent lukems a message about a film clip i wanted him to see. he never replied back. i was hoping it could be on bungie favorites. =/ if anyone wants to see it its in my file share called "WTF DEATH LOL"

Let's mount our chairs on the wall.

Decent story. The VidMaster Challenges are ridiculous, but I guess they should make it interesting. The real question: Wtf is up with the 2nd one?

Why can't red team and blue team just talk it out?

I don't mean to whine, but will my Security armor go away when I get auto update 2? Just curious.

So Walshy got owned? Thank you Bungie, I think you just cured my super cancer! Also, it's sad to see the Beta tripmine is guaranteed to never see the light of day ever again... *Sigh*, triple betrayals sound fun. :(

No. You're dumb and Bungie's full of itself. Walshy shat on Bungie, I saw the film on mlgpro.com.

  • 09.05.2008 5:49 PM PDT

there are 2 facts you should know..... 1. there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. 2. no one dies a virgin because life screws us all

so, does this mean that i will have to get my katana and security helmet by unlocking those ahceivments?
