Subject: Disc 2 Achievements

LW45 TS40 TO40 TSW35 TSN35 TT30 SB30 MLG25

Just wondering if anybody has any solid information on whether or not there will be any additional achievements for the second (multiplayer) disc of Halo ODST.

If not, will you be able to unlock Halo 3 achievements through Disc 2, and if so, how will they be organised?

I would also be grateful if anybody has a link to where they found any of this information.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

Disk 2 has the 3 skulls and Brain pan achievement.

It's exactly the same as Halo 3. The achivements will be organised under Halo 3. The disk will just be without the campaign element, denying a player a lot of permutations unless they have earned them in Halo 3's campaign.

Do you have any evidence of this claim (not that I don't believe you)?

Also, if one does not own Halo 3, can you unlock the Halo 3 achievements?

  • 08.05.2009 9:04 AM PDT

In Soviet Russia, Xbox plays you.

Well Bungie isn't going to create a new set of achievements for the same game. It is just Halo 3 minus the campaign, so you will be able to earn the MP achievements but not the campaign ones.

Bungie confirmed this all themselves. Need to read up. Search Bar per se?

-The Halo 3 Matchmaking(only) will come with ODST as Disc 2.

-It will have all maps included.(Heroic, Legendary, Mythic, Cold Storage), and the new 3 maps.

-You will be able to play matchmaking, custom games, theater, etc.

-There will be no campaign.

-You will unlock the achievements that you are missing on Halo 3 on this separate disc, and will be sent to your original Halo 3 Achievement list.

So if you don't own Halo 3, when you pop Disc 2 into your tray Halo 3 will appear on your played games list, but only those achievements related to multiplayer will be unlockable?

Also, does anybody have a link confirming this?

Yeah, it will have every achievement from Halo 3 minus the campaign ones. Is Disc two still considered ODST or is it considered Halo 3? If it's ODST then you'd think it would have different menu backgrounds and stuff. It'd be nice to have different backgrounds because I'm getting sick of the blue matchmaking background. And I doubt I'm the only one.

Disc 2 is treated as if it were Halo 3. Basically, it's Halo 3, with all updates and map packs and achievements, excluding the campaign.

  • 08.05.2009 12:35 PM PDT

"Let me turret, you suck at it. Don't be sad we all know it."

So, If I have Halo 3, do I just download all the new maps/Recon onto my xbox? Or do I have to use the 2nd disc whenever I want to play those maps/wear Recon?

Only the multiplayer ones. And trust me, he's a Mythic member. They've been here a long time, they typically know their stuff.

Do your research if you need to be absolutely sure, but he speaks the truth.

Recon is already on Halo 3's disk. It's just locked. The only way to unlock it is if Bungie does it for you, or if you get all the Vidmaster achievements.

Moving on, if you want to play Longshore, Citadel and Heretic you'll have to play on Halo 3: ODST's Disk 2. Otherwise, you can still play on Halo 3 without any problems.

However, if your missing a map pack or two I strongly recommend simply using Halo 3: ODST's Disk 2 because when you switch back to Halo 3 you won't be able to use the maps (Because the maps are on Halo 3: ODST's Disk 2, it's not a DLC. Just like Sandtrap and Valhalla are built into Halo 3.)

Also, if you unlock Recon while playing Halo 3: ODST Disk 2 you can still use it while playing Halo 3. This works because Halo 3: ODST Disk 2 is considered Halo 3, it'll even show up as it in the dashboard. It just came with a different game, and it doesn't have the campaign.

It's like when you use a friends Halo 3 disk. All your information is still there, it's just a different disc. That's because the information is stored on the profile, not the disc. This isn't Nintendo were talking about here, you don't have to keep the same disc in order to keep your information.

He might have joined these forums ten years ago for all I know, but that doesn't mean he knows exactly how it's going to work. The reason I posted this was so I could find some hard evidence.

And whilst you might not have meant to come across as condescending, you should know that I have been a member of these forums for five times as long as you; you don't need to tell me what a Mythic member is.

Just had a thought. Could it possibly be that you can only unlock the additional 750 gs through Disc 2? There were only 750 points on the Mythic build at PAX, and if that build is the same as Disc 2...

But then that would leave us with two separate sets of the same achievements...

Also, do you think that they added in the brute plasma rifle in disc 2? Like in Forge Mode?

Not quite. I got sick of the first name on that account.

And It's a bit hard to find hard evidence toward these things. However, if you were to do your own research you would find out that indeed, this is true.
So instead of bugging us to find it for you, do your own research. We have things to do too, you know.

Not at all. Halo 3 doesn't have the brute plasma rifle, and the whole reason why they made this Disk 2 is so that Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST's Disk 2 are compatible with each other.

By putting the Brute Plasma Rifle into Halo 3: ODST's Disk 2, that would ruin it's compatibility. The only way they would have new weapons into the game is if they implement them into Longshore, Heretic, and Citadel. However, I don't see a big need to do this. The games fine without it, and the weapon is slightly unbalanced.

You can see the achievements from the second disk now on Halo 3.

  • 08.05.2009 1:57 PM PDT

Disc 2 is registered as Halo 3.
That's how you'll get Halo 3's remaining achievements.

Bugging you? You're the one who's sitting there browsing these forums and you're the one who has stayed with this thread over the past three hours!

I'm asking for help, because out of everything I've read, and watched, whether found through HBO, the Bungie Blog, or some other means, nothing has touched on this issue. That is why I'm asking if somebody has something with some real information.

That's part of the purpose of a forum, you know.
