The downside is that you now have to stare at mysterious achievements with no context until all is revealed at a later date



What's so mysterious about the achievements? Most of them are pretty much self-explanatory; unless you didn't notice that the rest of the achievements are not marked as "secret" or the rest of the maps have completely different name than the ones in the achievements.

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.

Please check the FAQ as this is the 2nd question answered :)

I was just wondering about a gameplay issue. Its not really an issue its just something that i find way too OP. I think that ur paralysis once u get jacked off a vehicle is way to powerfull, u actually have no chance of surviving afterwards, especially if its a ghost. I was just wondering if its even possible to modify that at all, and if ur willing to do it?

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

No cost for 250 points worth. The rest are basically bundled with the next map pack.

No new armor. Assembly is a new level that has not been released yet.

So, we can't get the Annual Vidmaster Achievement over LAN co-op play?

  • 09.24.2008 7:32 PM PDT

I know it's the second question answered, but it doesn't say whether or not can do it on 9/25/08 or if you have to do it after. That was my question...

  • 09.24.2008 7:41 PM PDT

So glad this FAQ is out! Hope there is a way to let us know when this FAQ is updated each time!

  • 09.24.2008 7:50 PM PDT

Thank you. You guys should check out mygamercard.net to see who cheated for 1750/1250 gamerscore.

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. :)



Whew! Thank God! Just seeing the question asked got me sweating the banhammer+. As soon as I saw the new achievments, I sent out emails, inviting friends to my Achievment Wh*** Day (aka: AWD). I'm hosting AWD to help me and my friends have fun getting the new achievments, and it should be a pretty fun day! In this way, we won't be playing with people who just want to shoot us and get their exp up. We're just playing in the social games, having a social good time! ^_^ Message me if you have any questions/concerns because I probably will not revisit this forum until there is new info on the FAQ from Bungie. Have fun! Keep it clean! Keep it friendly!

this isnt much of a TU2 FAQ question but there has been several ebay listings of modded controllers, that are suppposadly (hahah sadly) xbox live proof, , WORKS GREAT WITH HALO 3 AND CALL OF DUTY 4,and there has been a few instances where players where killing me with just a mere 2 or 3 shot from a BR, i hope bungie and xbox figure out how to get these modded controller users put into a sling and hopefully banned

Can you answer this for me? Will we be able to earn Ranked Juggernaut, V.I.P., and Infection medals. If not in a permanent playlist will they be available in some kind of Double XP weekend?

IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO BUNGIE TO SEE IF THIS ACHIEVMENT IS "LAGGY" LIKE CERTIAN ONES REGAURD GETTING KATANA.. WE HAVE THE VIDEO TO PROVE IT JUST ANNOYING KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN..

  • 09.24.2008 9:16 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.

did anyone else notice the SERVICES WILL RESUME thing at the front page they did the same thing right before they cancelled the E3 announcement. im guessing big announcement and maybe new maps tommorow. hopefully at least.

me too.

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?


You can use the new achievements to get the katana and security I was one old acheivement away now i have both.
