The achievements are for multiplayer, not campaign, like get a kill while in Monitor Mode? (Tank Dropper).

Assembly Skull
On Assembly, find the hidden skull.
25


Assembly has been shown at some gaming expo (don't know which one though, there's too many =S) as a multiplayer map. We can assume that the rest of the maps mentioned in these achievements are also multiplayer since it's unlikely they would roll multiplayer maps and campaign levels into the same achievement 'ball'.

It seems to me that these maps will bring an entirely new approach to skulls. Whether you can/have to get them in matchmaking is unknown but that could be quite interesting if they retain the power (ie one hit kill) of an oddball.

Also, there is no mention of Halo 3: Recon in the achievements. I reckon that Recon will include these maps, and maybe all the other DLC maps for the "xbox live challenged" (thanks whoever I just quoted that from) like the Halo 2 map pack, but the mythic map pack will be available earlier. At least I hope that's the case, otherwise I'm just as 'irritated' as you are!

Awesome trailer, sounds really really really... and so on... GOOOOOD !

  • 10.09.2008 2:13 PM PDT

Go Purdue! Boiler up!

Thank you, Bungie!

  • 10.09.2008 2:13 PM PDT

WOOt cant, wait its going to be awsome. probally will release it on the 2nd aniversary of halo 3.

  • 10.09.2008 2:16 PM PDT

ODSTs! Finally!

This is what I have been waiting for!
My god, just think about the difference in gameplay! no more shields! No more super awesome, all powerful, all killing MC! Just an ODST, a rifle, a few grenades and his wits to get through the missions.

I loved Halo, I really think I'll love Halo:recon. Very impressive Bungie! (the graphics are amazing, hope they will be ingame graphics) Small company, big games - BUNGIE

Out

I hope that you guys aren't rushing on this I would prefer a really good game than something that is no fun but continues the interesting story. Regarding all those who believe that there are better graphics I think this is not how the game is going to look since this is probably going to use the Halo 3 engine, the cut scenes might look superawesome with anti aliasing and all that good stuff but the whole game looking like that is unlikely.

is this Halo 3 recon going to be a game or an extension and if it is a new game can you still keep your maps and armour?

  • 10.09.2008 2:27 PM PDT

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

This is amazing! Love Bungie even more! I just erased Halo 2 from my mind!

Anyone else not giving a shish?

Oh well we get Fable 2 in a week and a half
They know how to treat there fans/customers.
Bungie needs to go back to customer relations 101

Bungie,the only company to rub your face in the dirt for half a year,then pick you up clean you off,give you some hot tea and then slap you around till you wet your pants then push you off a cliff

How can you say the guy's at Lionhead know how to treat customers?
They advertised there Legendary edition with a Hobbe figure, Tin, and cards... 10 day's before release 'supply issues' caused them to stop all that and just give an extra making of disk.

At least Bungie gave us the Spartan head they promised.

No matter what happens in this new campaign I'm looking forward to it. The guys at Bungie know what there doing and will hopefully deliver something epic.

I agree that this shouldn't be rushed on, but i think bungie really can work with this.

the premise is clear.

when Regret's carrier left new mombasa during halo 2, they brought the elites to delta halo and left the brutes on earth in order to make sure the humans couldn't reclaim the city. They didn't have armor during halo 2, but maybe the brutes who were left on earth were given armor prototypes, because prior to the human-covenant war, the brutes never really needed armor.

so basically they will be as tough as they were in h3, but in a middle h2 to pre-h3 time period.

the only thing that is unclear is the potential for a plot twist, because the humans obviously fail to reclaim the city and it gets glassed cuz we saw its fate in h3.

if h3r finds a way to answer the legendary ending in h3, thatd be nice.

I realy hope this is just an expantion. It has halo 3 in the name so I realy hope hope hope!!

  • 10.09.2008 2:44 PM PDT

Some people are just total noobs at life!

ok. this is directed to ppl who keep sayin that this is the mythic maps or that this is a campaign expansion.

the mythic maps are multiplayer and, hopefully, are going to come out soon while this is campaign and doesnt come out for a year.

also. the title of the update says "new game" so its not an expansion.

  • 10.09.2008 2:46 PM PDT

so this means I can haz recon? hooray!!!

By the way bungie. THIS IS FREAKING SICK

Don't ever let anyone judge you for who you are, or what you are not.

BEST POST EVER! I love you bungie, for making such a great game like Halo 3, and now making Halo 3 Recon, which has even more incredible graphics! Now I really can't wait till 2009!

Yes!!! 7 blessings to Bungie!!! Thank you for giving us a new Halo 3 campaign and also a new hero. I like the ODST armor. Bungie rocks so hard. Its kind of ironic too. Before, people get in trouble for talking about Recon and now you named your next game Halo 3: Recon which many will talk about.
