With all this talk of Halo 3 I haven't heard anything about the gamerpoints for it. We all know Halo 3 is going to be a huge deal so I think it would be more appropriate if it had 3000 or 4000 OR MAYBE 5000 (WOW) possible Gamer Points.

How many gamerpoints do you think there should be?

EDIT: even tho i edited my list so that 1000 was the number of possible gamerpoints i still think there could be many more that bungie could incorperate if Microsoft would let them.


_____________________________________________________________ ________________

*****MY REVISED LIST:*******
Possible Gamerpoints:

* Beating the game on Easy (50 points), Normal (60 points), Heroic (120 points), and Legendary (170 points)

* Beating the game 5 times on any difficulty (200 points)

* Finding skulls (50 points each, maximum of 4 to be earned points from not to say you can't find the other ones but you just wouldn't earn Gamerpoints for them.)

* Playing 100, 1000, 10000 matches (10, 40, 150 points)


Total Gamerpoints = 1000

I disagree with most of your suggestions. For example, being one of the first to beat it shouldnt get you points. That takes no skill, plus only a limited ammount of people can earn it. The points need to be available to everyone. And im sure they'll encorporate the points into the missions, like complete a certain objective or somehting like that

Heres my ideas:

For every mission, there is 8 achivements. 4 for Single and 4 for Co-op
Easy: 10
Normal: 15
Herioc: 20
Legendary: 30

For completing the game: {saying that theres 20 levels}4 for Single and 4 for Co-op
Easy: 200
Normal: 300
Herioc: 400
Legendary: 600

remember each game can have up to 1000 gamerpoints only, to have several achievments for 100 and more is unrealistic.

Since there will be a new update this fall for the 360, I bet they might be able to change that.

if you do certain things in the game, you get "Gamerscore Points" for them. They show up in your XBox Live gamercard. They dont mean anything, but reflect on how much you have done in games.

Here is XBox.com's official explanation:

Achievements: Whether offline or on, you can earn achievements and accolades in all Xbox 360 games to indicate progress, skill, and accomplishment. Taking achievements online lets you compare what you've accomplished with your friends, or use them as indicators of skill to new friends. Achievements are bragging rights redefined.

Gamerscore: A cumulative score of all achievements that allows you to quickly gauge and compare the accomplishments and experience of other gamers.

Gamerpoints are points that you get from "beating" certain feats given to you in a game. These 'feats' or 'challenges' are called achievements and are different in every game (obviously)....each achievement that you complete awards u with gamer points which are shown on your gamercard..So far (and probably always), all "CD" 360 games have had a possible of 1000 points you could achieve...

So that being said, Halo 3 is probab....most likely to have 1000 points..

and i like your guys' ideas above..

well taht would probably be incorperated under the "Medals" Gamerpoints because hopefully no-scoping will be a medal by itself

Gamerpoints are basicly like your level. You earn gamerpoints by beating achievements or games. Your Gamerscore can not go down.

Should have achievements like PDZ, but insted of 1,000 but maybe 5,000/ 10,000 because we all now how many kills you can get in a game.

I hope they have more than 1000 points, but only for this game.

How about 1000? You know, Microsoft did say that every game would have 1000 Gp's, no more, no less. How the game people distribute them is up to the game people.



*is sad that such a topic was even posted*

J hawk your think stupidly. if anything it should be 4000-6000 points

Finish the Fight(beat the game any diffcultly(sp))
Finish the Fight Herioc
Each level beaten on legendary(100 points each if it's as hard as Halo 2's Legendary)
40 Vechile(sp) kills
40 kills on match 1000 points
and a bunch of others

first of all if your going to insult someone spell they're name correctly (J wak). Secondly, I beleive that your ideas are terribly distibuted. "40 Vehicle kills" - no

but thats just my opinion.

considering that since November 9, 2004, I myself have logged about 4000 games, I don't know how anyone is going to be able to log 10000 by the time the next gen after PS3 and X360 comes out...anyway, the limit for gamerpoints for a single game is 1000 points spread over a minimum of 5 achievements and a maximum of 50....also there cannot be any achievements that are exclusive to certain people so like being the top player in the world shouldn't be an achievement. Lastly, being that there will undoubtedly be cheaters, there shouldn't be achievements for being on any leaderboards at all, it should be about kill or match counts and campaign achievements
