so with the new achievements is it possible for bungie to add new unlockable armor perms?

Playkid · Post by **Playkid** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 12:39 pm

I don't know about it, but Bungie isen't going to do it either way.
They said that themselves somewhere, might have been in a bwu.

They said they couldn't add it through DLC.
This does not have any indicators of being DLC.

I was at PAX. I saw the new achievements, and I saw what it took to reach them. It was no accident; at the end of the day, as Bungie and PAX were shutting down for the day, a PAX visitor sat down at a monitor and deliberately started clicking through to reach achievements, taking advantage of the distractions. Bungie employees were cleaning up for the day and had their backs turned, which is the only reason that the achievements were up for as long as they were. As soon as they noticed, they came over and turned off the television. The same PAX visitor who clicked through to view the achievements had also taken some photographs, and asked a Bungie employee if he could post them. The Bungie employee asked this person not to post them, and the person who originally looked at the achievements has, so far, held true to their promise and neither posted nor discussed the achievements.

The damage, however, was done. Other people had also taken pictures in that short timespan using both cell phone cameras and regular digital cameras. These are the pictures that you see posted all over the internet now.

I am just a fan, like everyone else, and I do not have any inside track to Bungie's secrets, but I think that ANY person who was there can tell you that Bungie did not want these pictures taken, and the only reason that people were able to view the achievements at all is because an ambitious PAX visitor took advantage of Bungie being distracted at the end of the day.

This was not a case of Bungie "purposely displaying" its achievements.

I understand that it is not only the right, but also the responsibility of the press and the media to be open about news and information that they are able to dig up. But this was not the press or media -- these are people who call themselves Bungie fans. People who presumably understand Bungie's desire and need for secrecy in new projects. And people who should respect it.

Discussing the pictures? Well hell, once the horse has left the barn, you may as well ride it. But going through the somewhat devious process of reaching the new achievements, and then taking pictures, and then proceeding to POST the pictures despite the fact that Sketch made it obvious that they were not supposed to be seen (and I know all the people who took pictures and they were there when Sketch turned the TV off)? That's something that I hope a true Bungie fan (who presumably wants to see the company succeed) would refrain from.

As a fan, this is a disappointment for me in the Bungie Community -- a small one, considering all of the awesomeness I saw from the Bungie Community in general at PAX and over the last few days, to be sure. But a disappointment nonetheless.

Like many other community members, I have and will continue to refuse to discuss anything regarding these photographs except to echo Recon Number 54's sentiments in my usual concise style.

You think they would of learned by now. If you don't want it to be public, don't risk it. A PAX edition would have sufficed quite nicely. I really can't say I'm surprised. I Shall be looking forward to the todays Update.

Inevitably, this will be blown out of context, misread and misunderstood, but let’s do it anyway.

For a number of reasons ranging from obvious to sublime, Title Update 2 (which is the new, hip, Xbox 360-version way of saying “Auto Update” or “Patch”), introduces new Achievements to Halo 3. Last weekend at Penny-Arcade Expo we played Assembly on the TU2, which meant that folks would see and buzz about the new achievements. These will be made live when TU2 turns on later this month - the previously announced date may slip a bit closer to the Halo 3 one-year anniversary.

Here’s a look at these achievements which can be earned via the Legendary Maps and Halo 3 Campaign:

* Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch (0 points) – Get to the rank of Lieutenant in any playlist in the new EXP progression system.
* Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 (0 points) – Enter into any ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th of the month.
* Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
* Double Double (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get two Double Kills during any ranked or social match.
* Poor Yorick (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 Oddball melee kills during any ranked or social match.
* Came…From…Behind (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 assassinations during any ranked or social match.
* Defend This (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get a flag melee kill during any ranked or social match.
* Flag Dropped (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 2 flag carrier kills during any ranked or social match.
* Road Rage (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 5 Warthog chaingun kills during any ranked or social match.
* Look Both Ways (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get a Splatter Spree during any ranked or social match.

As folks have seen, these aren’t the only achievements we’re adding. But without proper context, there’s not a whole lot else we’re going to say. Stay tuned.

Even though I'm sure this has been asked before, with new achivements, does this mean those of us that have secruity helms and katanas, do we loose them now? And are new armors being added, such as a security chestplate?

They already said they are never adding any new perms. And no, you won't lose the armor you have.

Awesome. Bungie and Blizzard, Unite!

If anyone doesn't get the reference... there's a flying vehicle in Warcraft III, that when killed, cries out, "They came... from... behind!"

Not sure if they, "coined" it, but still.

DarkShallFall · Post by **DarkShallFall** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:47 am

Maybe they meant that they where looking north and they came from the south?

*Crosses fingers* Plz award Recon to players for one of the new achievements Plz award Recon to players for one of the new achievements Plz award Recon to players for one of the new achievements
(I know some people really hate Recon now for some reason but I still want it so I can get rid of my CQB chest piece and use the Recon one.)

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:33 pm

It would eliminate any sense of accomplishment the people who got it had. Adding it now would just be a slap in the face.

xlRainlx · Post by **xlRainlx** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:43 pm

True, but that doesn't mean I can't hope for a dream that may never come true. I've done it many of times. Sadly.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 1:10 am

I'm looking forward to next weekly update...Or the next one...Or the next one. One of those three will give me all the information!

unknownv2 · Post by **unknownv2** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 1:22 am

Considering how easy those achievements are, they aren't going to give anybody recon.

xlRainlx · Post by **xlRainlx** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 7:33 am

Maybe they can make it so that you only get one of the pieces of Recon. Perhaps upon completion of all the new achievements, you get to choose from the Helmet, Chest, or Shoulders. That way you get a sweet prize but you don't get FULL Recon.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 8:21 am

This idea is still unrealistic, no matter how you think they could do it. It would trivialize it, and after them building the hype around it, I find it incredibly unlikely that would just ruin it for the people who have it.

Keep in mind it can be awarded to who ever they wish, which in its self is an honor. If they did hand out recon , I imagine it would be by firsts or 7ths of an achievement being unlocked. ( The 1st person to unlock a certain achievement... so forth)

I'm looking forward to the new achievements. I have yet to play legendary with 4 people though >_>.
