Subject: ODST Vidmaster Speculations?

Obviously everyone (okay maybe not everyone) but most people (including myself) are looking for the opportunity to grab a hold of the beloved Recon.
ODST will have 3 new Vidmasters to unlock for Recon. Also ODST is needed to finish "Brainpan" with the 3 other skulls.
A lot are saying that it won't be special anymore because everyone will have it.
But I figure these achievements will end up being real frustrating...

So what do you guys think they might do?

I thought of a few:
1) Something out of Firefight most definitely. Solo All Skulls Legendary One Playthrough?
2) With the all new hype out of "Mythic" (Solo All Skulls Legendary) I feel something to the matter will show up.
3) Considering the 'open world' of ODST, many secrets may be laid out around the game.

I like your ideas, maybe skulls to be found in the campaign (maybe unlikely) but I'm sure they will include secrets (:

As far as I know. No new skulls, aside from the 3 new maps, will make an appearance.
The Firefight demo shows the skulls you found in Halo 3 that you can activate.

Based on information released by Bungie, your Vidmasters don't make any sense. The Vidmaster Achievments will have to do with Halo 3 gameplay ONLY. ODST will have its own set of achievments with a total of one thousand GamerScore, and I'm sure some of them will be for Firefight.

If you look on the multiple Recon and ODST updates from weeks past, you will see that there are in total 7 Vidmasters needed to unlock Recon. 3 from Halo 3, 3 from ODST, and "Brainpan" which needs the maps from both.
I'll try to find a link.

Also in the demo, Joe mentioned Halo 2 skulls becoming active during Firefight.

Really? I didn't catch that.
Hmm

Avengers
Exclusives are coming to an end
Blame Video Games
Heroic Age
Q&A/Fanboys for games
MvC3
GOW3

I think one of them will be for unlocking all of the other achievements in Halo 3 & Halo: ODST.

I refuse to use the 3 in ODST's title.

  • 06.03.2009 6:22 PM PDT

Definitely not Multiplayer achievements, I'd guess.
One will have something to do with Campaign on Legendary. I'm sure the other 2 will have something to do with the use of the new equipment/features that you access in the new campaign.

Sorry that was bad info, watched the demo again I must have misheard him, false alarm.

You actually don't choose which skulls to activate.
The next wave does.

  • 06.03.2009 6:26 PM PDT

like alot of people im thinking as soon as it comes out i can get Recon in a matter of days while trying to get the new vidmasters but i recon that you may not be able to get some certain achievements until a certain date like VMC:Annual was in halo 3.

they want us to have recon but not just yet, after all i would delay it if i was one of a few select people to have it.

In the interview with Brian Gerrard on GameTrailers, he said that there will be 3 vidmaster achievements in ODST. That means 3 for Halo 3, 3 for ODST, and 1 for finding the skulls in the new maps; makes a total of 7 Vidmaster achievements.

Kill a Scarab.....

  • 06.03.2009 6:36 PM PDT

I am prepared for SOME explosions, thanks to EOD.

I't won't matter. Some nerdy little 10 year-old will film his screen with a camera showing EVERYONE on youtube how to complete the Vidmaster challenges, and so there will be no challenge as soon as that kid figures it out.

You're assuming that they're easter-egg based. While one of them could be, I'm assuming at least one is gameplay-related.

Yea you can almost guarantee these won't be easy.
No matter how people feel.

Really? I thought it was you can switch them around after each wave.
