Hopefully this will stem the flow of the useless threads asking the same questions over and over.
And I cant wait to hear the excuses that the kids come up with for why they have been banned, either temp or perm.

How come people aren't getting their Achievements? I beat Halo with 4 Ghosts and everyone got the achievement but me.

? how is matchmaking going to work if you are still using the old global rankings? I mean i was a 37 before the new updates, and most people that i have played against have been around the same ranking, so does that mean once i get up to a 45 will i keep playing 45's if so then how do you expect me to gain more experience if i play 45's- 50's all the time. It will be impossible to gain exp in the new system

Haha if you can't beat 45-50 and that's your rank, you don't belong there and you either boosted or got carried.

TU2 is awesome. Thanks for the update, Bungie. And thanks for the FAQ, Sketch. I don't know by peoplesre so pissed off about it, I think it actually improved Halo 3.

Wait do you still get punished for boosting for achievements, because idiots always ask me to do it but I don't.


Yeah, "achievement boosting" is kind of lame but honestly it's not really something we can/will punish people for.

Personally, if I'm in a game where people are trying to get me to cooperate and stand there like an idiot and trade melee kills or whatnot, I will just destroy them all. I play to play. :)


Couldn't agree more. It's really annoying, but makes for some easy kills/points; although, it would be nice if capture the flag would show up even ONCE on a legendary map so I can at least TRY to get the achievement. (I know, whine, whine, whine)

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

Would anyone like to team up for the annual achievement? I'm online now and hoping to go after it. - ZaneXXX

Edit: Just got it, thanks for the team.

do you need to start Halo from the beginning or can you start after you kill the monitor? and where are the ghosts?

Master Speckel

i don't get cheating at all. i can't seem to understand why people feel the need to have lag switches, or auto aim just to help them out. to me thats what practicing is for. and if you need help to progress through the game than, in my opinion you shouldn't be playing any game, because you people are ruining it for the rest of us who actually can play without any help.

anyway besides getting off topic i truly "love" this game and i will never love a game as much as i do the halo series. Pluss the new update is a big improvement to how the ranking system is structured. it still needs a little more work, but over all i have a newfound love and respect for all you bugie people, and i hope to continue loveing and playing halo for a long while to come :0

one of your bigest fans

But here's a question... are we surposed to get the katana and the sccurity helmelt when we reach 1000 gs in halo 3? or do we have to do the oringal achievements?

[HK]

For the Vidmaster Challenge: Annual achievement it says After 9/25/08. Can you still obtain this achievement ON 9/25/08??

I'm sorry if this has already been asked.

Which maps are the Mythic maps

  • 09.24.2008 5:47 PM PDT

I rock at Halo. I may not be the best, or even Pro, but I kick with the big boys. I also love getting achievements. My fave is Endure, just because it took a bit to get.

They still havent said if u can get more armor!!!

another ? about the annul achievement do you have to beat it on Legendary, heroic, normal, or easy or any difficulty

Needs to be legendary.. The text is "After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts."
