It does that with everything...it even tells you when someone's watching a DVD. He's not really "playing".

Technically there is interactive content on the bonus disc, such as Warthog Launch, etc. (Or one of the bonus discs, maybe it's only the Legendary one or something, don't know, too lazy to check.) Anyways, GTAF is still correct, it says "Playing" by default, regardless of what you're doing.

Edit: Not lazy. The interactive disc comes with Legendary.

Clarification: There is interactive bonus content for Halo 3, but Xbox.com is irrelevant to that because it always says "Playing: blah blah."

Maybe they will release a dashboard update around the time Halo 3 comes out so you actually know what people are doing.

Because it's such a big deal and all.

Yay for Bungie Podcasts!

Forgetacular!!1!

It answered a lot of my questions.

Which were...

1. Will saved films be used in Forge?
Yes.

2. Can you use Forge created Maps outside of Forge mode?
Yes.

3. Hornet
Yes.

4. Do Teleporters and Gravlifts have to be put on flat ground?
No.

Those were just some of my questions.

With the last question, I'm sure some a-hole is going to put a teleporter exit directly above the teleporter. I know I would if it meant watching someone forced into an infinite fall by their inability to move three feet away in two seconds.

The a-hole might be thinking with Portals.

I got a cheap Idea

Delete all the spawn points but 1 and just camp it and get instant killionaire.

If you need to go out of your way to get the Halo 3 achievements, you must really suck. They're so ridiculously easy, and for good reason. =x

Besides, you can only get achievements in matchmaking.

Some. There are others that can be achieved in any multiplayer game, as well as in campaign.

Again, not a weekly update, and I know it's been posted that some Bungie staff have been playing it, but there is now official confirmation that Halo 3 has gone gold.

From the previous page: Mythic and Thunderstorm achievement? Skulls? To get our hopes up? Completely unrelated achievements?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 2:53 pm

There are skulls in Halo 3. Bungie has alluded to them many times in podcasts, they've been discussed in magazines, and they are in the official achievement list on Xbox.com.
