this may be a game based on ODST's

Evidende points to this side story not including the Chief... but there is no reason to believe that there isn't some connection between this and the "Believe" hype campaign pre Halo 3 release... I'm just speculating

Once somebody told me that they were playing H:CE and they were watching an grunt for a really long time and then it turned into an elite.

There is a sign, in my neighborhood from a random company saying, pardon our dust

Spartan, Till The End

if you look on the left of the screen at 00:13 the sign to the right says New Mobasa. so it happens right after the atmospheric slip space rupture in halo 2.

yay!

ODST rule.

If you look at the descriptions for the new acheivments on the new maps, it says "on a ranked or social match" or something of the sort. My point is those are not campaigne maps.

This is an excelent point. As I had said earlier, the protaganist in this expansion could be another Spartan. The soldiers interviewed in the Believe ad could have mistaken this spartan to be the chief.... I know it's a long stretch but knowing Bungie anything is a possibility.

No it doesn't, it says "On x, find the hidden skull."

Yes, we know that Assembly is a multiplayer map, but it might also be the name of a single player campaign level.

The skulls achievement descriptions say nothing about ranked or social matches.

  • 09.25.2008 5:38 PM PDT

I just had another thought when I was looking at the new skulls achievements. One is called Orbital.

Could Orbital be the level where you have to defend/destroy the orbital tether at New Mombasa as I speculated earlier?

not those achievements...the ones like kiltacular ,pull, hammer time, blades of fury ,tank dropper, zombie repeller,delicious brains ,have fun respawning ,save this film and aww too bad

  • 09.25.2008 5:54 PM PDT

OK, so those achievements are multiplayer, which nobody is disputing.

The skulls achievements are in the single player campaign expansion.

This is obviously a major expansion that incorporates both multiplayer and single player components, and just because there are multiplayer-specific achievements doesn't mean that all of the achievements (and therefore the skulls) have to do with multiplayer.

the top 5 of the achievements on the new maps are on the maps that the skulls are on...

im so confused whats SI and whats this vid..?

  • 09.25.2008 6:20 PM PDT

Good point and well spotted. Maybe the campaign levels each have a multiplayer map based on them?

Or maybe there really are skulls on multiplayer maps, but I just can't see Bungie breaking with tradition like that, especially when we have strong evidence that there is an additional single-player campaign on the way.

I'm not saying I know one way or the other, I'm just speculating here.

EDIT: Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think you're right, Flames. The flaw in my logic has been assuming that the new achievements have something to do with the new game/expansion that was announced this morning.

The truth is that there is no evidence for that other than skulls, which have been traditionally associated with campaign levels.

However, there is an achievement for getting all the skulls on the Mythic maps, which I think we can all agree are six new MP maps. Thus, the skulls are on MP maps after all.

The other piece of evidence that points to this is that there are 750 new achievement points, and with Mythic there will have been three map packs. Developers are allowed to add 250 points per expansion pack, so the new achievements are dedicated to the Heroic, Legendary and Mythic map packs (3 x 250 = 750) and the fourth expansion involving the ODST campaign will presumably have its own set of achievements, bringing the total up to 2000 for Halo 3 overall.

Everything depends on everything else.

What's with this SI stuff? It's S1.

Obviously intelligence officer...

Assembly Skull
On Assembly, find the hidden skull.

... A new achievement for Halo 3

Assembly is a confirmed multiplayer map, so yes, these new skulls are in multiplayer maps. As shocking as it may be, it's the truth.

Superintendent has been abbreviated to SI.

It's distinct from S1, which is indeed ONI Section 1.

You can't rule out the possibility of a campaign expansion map also called assembly. It's entirely possible for 6 new MP maps, and 6 new campaign maps and they share names so they're based off of one another.
