Expect yes, you do need the maps to earn achievements for Halo 3. They cannot force people to pay $60 to earn achievements, expect them sometime after ODST's release, just not the same day.
I agree that they can't force people to pay $60, but this is a video game that people choose to play. I'd personally love to play the maps and get some achievements, but it's not like M$ or Bungie is forcing me to fork over my hard-earned $$$. With their track record though, I'm just not sure....I take back what I said, I was mistaken. I forgot that it's the base gamerscore points that should not need extra purchases to stay out of violation. Since the achievements are for DLC, they really do not have to make them available to the marketplace. This violation once occured with Fable 2 where you had to buy the Pub Games arcade title to get two expressions to get an achievement, they were added to free DLC so the Pub Games would not have to be free.
I still expect them to hit the marketplace, the fans deserve that and they know it.
