If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

i wonder what the other maps look like

Check out the Spartan I Project! SIP is one of the biggest groups on Bungie.net, playing Halo 3 the way it is meant to be played, with friends. They help with getting achievements as well. For more info, check out the Spartan I Project Group!

I want to ask a question about the Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 achievement. For the experience part, will we need 7 EXP on a certain playlist or can get the achievement by entering the playlist with the amount of experience we have ending in 7? For example, EXP could be 7, 17, 27, 77, 287, etc...

Sweet new update.
Sweet new achievements.
Sweet new matchmaking experience.
Love, Bungie.

Thanks guys, can't wait!

  • 09.05.2008 6:18 PM PDT

Will we get to unlock recon armor by complete the new achievements. And to those who wonder about lossing armor, I don't think so, those were part of the first 1000 pt achievements. It would be pointless to take away something that you've already earned just to get it again, unless you didn't get it legit.

i only like the recon helmet

Sounds great, but I'm a little worried about your exp gets reset back to 0.
Yeah, same here... I'm sooooo close to getting my force colonel... it's too bad I'll be losing most of that experience... Most of it is from double XP playlists (grifball).

I guess I'll be playing a lot of 3 ball this weekend... =\


EXP isn't being reset. You're Service Record will still show you as a Force Colonel.

7 playlist XP. Remember, after AU2, XP is tracked by playlist, so although you'll keep the XP you have now, you'll start with 0 in each playlist.

I've got a burning question, one that I failed to ask earlier.

Tell me, will there be Grade 2, 3, and 4 ranks on the new system? Some would like to become a Force Colonel on every playlist.
