>>KEEP IT CLEAN<<

Because Bungie haven't announced what those other achievements are pertaining to. It's best if you just focus on earning the ten you can see on your service record for now. Keep your eyes open though because they should be announcing something soon.

Title Update 2 seems to have caused a bug in the Player Avoidance system. While playing Team Doubles I avoided 2 people & yet even after avoiding them I ended up playing them at least 4 more times in a row!?!

Has TU2 broken the Rep system?

the only reason why youve played the triple amount of games that i have is because you are still trying to reach your fourty five and it took you a very long time. i have a higer rank than you and played 3 times the amount of games than you... i dont give a -blam!- about how many more games you played, the game play has changed and no one likes it that has a higer rank and is used to the ways of halo3


Lol? I couldn't care less about my 45, or anything higher for that matter. 41 was the best I could do with Sol Knightt (only one of my accounts) and for awhile now I've been playing merely to enjoy the game. And that's what I'm doing right now.... enjoying the game. Lmao.

And no, you do not have a higher rank than me, Mr. Commander grade 1. If you meant highest skill, then yeah you're higher than me by ONE level. Get over yourself. Unless you'd like to show me your other account, there's nothing about your Service Record that is 3 times anything of mine. xD

Lastly, are you saying I'm not "used to the ways of Halo 3"? I think you are mistaken. I've got an rl friend who's a General and he seems perfectly alright with the update (besides the fact that it doesn't fix many bugs).

agreed. this update is awesome for people who can't rank past 30. But for all of us who ranked up past 45 and even got to 50, myself, when am i ever going to play doubles again, what... risk losing my fifty, how fair is that not as talented kids will make it to a general in doubles before i will because they will play more, becasue they have nothing to lose, when i was good enough to make it to a general when it meant something


Just because kids are able to get a General rating in a single playlist does not, by any means, say that they're anywhere NEAR as good as a true General, with level 50. You still have your 50 and your global rating of General, ok?

Oh and by the way, around the time when boosters started appearing, THAT'S when being a General lost its meaning. Not when this update came out. -.-

Look, for all you stupid, retarded people who find Bungie crap then leave halo 3 and join a chess club or something! Bungie are a really great company trying there best, and if they don't get money they won't be able to change the update back. Also, for Recon lovers, no you won't get any armour for the Vidmaster challenges. The Mythic maps should come out the 25th as this is Halo 3's birthday/anniversery.

Bungie will probably do the oddd one or two changes to Lone Wolves and stuff but it does take time to edit a game. Try making your own game and getting at 1 million people playing it. Don't worry, all the Bungie supporters will cheer for you, NOT!

**EDIT** Forget the money bit.

Like Caluke said, if you're here to complain, then nobody cares, so don't even bother. This update has been made, and they're not gonna take it back just because a few idiots decided to whinge in a post.

Personally, i'm quite interested in the update. The only downfalls that I've found personally is the removal of Rocket Race. This was my favourite playlist, and although I've heard it can be found in Multi-Team, i've yet to find it, so i'll assume it's rather rare. I'll be very sad to see it go, and hope perhaps it might return as it's own playlist on a double exp.

The second complaint is that the global rating is no longer shown in a game. In order to see the ability of the players, you have quickly cycle through all the service records. I would have preferred to have seen the global rating as well as the playlist rating, since it partly gives players the feeling that all they worked for have been diminished slightly, since hardly as many people will see their rank.

On the plus side though, I love this new playlist progression (although it should come into it's own a little more once the majority of players can pass the earlier stages), and I love the achievements! Having already had the Katana before TU2, i'd be a little gutted if it is still just getting 1000G, seeing as the new achievements are ridiculously easy, for the most part, and provide a much higher Gamerscore boost than the harder original ones.

Overall, apart from the loss of Rocket Race, I'm quite happy with the update, and very much look forward to the Mythic Maps! I'll be buying them within the first day or two, methinks.

I love this update i was playing it last night. Just a curious question since kantana is not really the grade prize is there one if u get all achievements just asking. Seriuosly though good job loving the updates

If you look at this stuff....go to a park or something else active

Yay! Never noticed there was a DLC Big Team.

But...for the achievements, you should make them superdeduper like in Crackdown (someone said that, and I agree with them)...Still good that your actually updating the game to keep our interest going...and six new maps, I like! I got faith in you...and will have it as long as you don't make another Halo as your next game.

I died once...I respawned 5 seconds later, seeking revenge!!!

nice new achievements, but i compared games with my friend and it had mythic achievements already there. Also i saw while comparing games that the vidmasters had gamerscore - pretty odd :/

I don't get why the high ranked people are complaining. As I see it, this was effectively a rank reset. I played a few games last night and every game I was against generals and brigadiers (who dominated). If anything the low-ranked people should be complaining. Eventually, the playlist ranks should sort themselves out, and it will return to normal. I don't see low-ranked players ever reaching general no matter how much they play.

i just looked at http://www.cheatcc.com and it said the achievements will start the 25th. so most likely, the maps will come out tomorrow.

I don't believe that is an accurate assumption. I think a few of the achievements are going to start on the 25th, like the vidmaster achievements. But I don't think so for the others that involve the new maps.

And no way those maps come out tomorrow. I do think something new will be said either tonight, or tomorrow morning, but it won't be new maps. Which is actually a good thing, because that might mean new game!
