Halo 3 Title Update Coming Tuesday Written Thursday, September 18, 2008 by Alan Pettit Bungie.net was just updated a bit with a new Career Stats page. If you look closely at the achievements section, it now says "xx/59" and "xxxx/1250" which confirms (or does it?) that the title update will only add 10 achievements for 250 points. The title update was announced for this coming Tuesday, September 23rd. | |

 | Comment #1 by v SnOwMaN v Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:53:56 PM Wish i still had it |
 | Comment #2 by Link0913 Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:54:10 PM oh well im not playing that again |
 | Comment #3 by Pez Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:54:41 PM I'm happy enough to welcome a 250 update or 750 update, it doesn't make much difference to me. :) I'm just glad to finally see some sort of achievement update to this game. :D |
 | Comment #4 by Lord Terentius Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:54:50 PM Yeah, I just checked it out. Interesting, as I had expected the 750 rather than 250 extra GS. |
 | Comment #5 by panicky Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:57:31 PM gonna have to pick it back up, good thing i got gamefly now, so i can send it right back when i'm done. |
 | Comment #6 by Northern Light Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:58:23 PM This is great! I started getting into this game about 4 days ago and have pretty much finished most of the single player achievements. I'm still wondering whether there are going to be more than 10 achievements or if they just chose 10 and got rid of the others. Oh well, I liked the sound of 1750 but extra achievements are always nice. |
 | Comment #7 by bigmac393 Thursday, September 18, 2008 @ 11:58:29 PM worddd...i also heard a rumor about a stat update/reset or changin somethin with experience..anybody know anything on that? |
 | Comment #8 by jond Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:00:35 AM i hate halo. bungie needs to make a new game and not give us DLC, that from what i have heard, not a lot of people like |
 | Comment #9 by CloseChief Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:01:42 AM thats odd, maybe they will give the other 500 gamerscore with the new map or something. |
 | Comment #10 by AJT48 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:11:05 AM does anybody know what the achievements are and what the pricing is gonna be for the content? |
 | Comment #11 by StephenJ360 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:15:59 AM Hopefully they're easy |
 | Comment #12 by silly_goose Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:38:48 AM i kinda wished there wouldnt be more achievements, because now i have to buy the legendary map pack to get them. i just hope they're easy. |
| Comment #13 by rick9099 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:43:09 AM This BS they wnt us to buy the lengendary map pack for achievements. at #7 there going to put exp just for each playlist.i dunno about the reset heard they will reset everything |
 | Comment #14 by Wanted407 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:55:10 AM damn i wanted it before weekend so i can work on it... |
 | Comment #15 by XxIPUNISH3RIxX Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:06:41 AM HALO 3 SUCKS |
 | Comment #16 by Chaosflare Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:07:57 AM Not playing Halo 3 anymore. Oh well. |
 | Comment #17 by SJS94 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:20:54 AM ah. Something that's pretty good about halo.... |
 | Comment #18 by ReD S1X Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:24:37 AM well, as long as they're not hard then i might play it again. But then again I still would be playing it now |
 | Comment #19 by JesusBread Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:05:08 AM I haven't even played it yet on my new gamertag. I have about 940 on my old one. I guess I'll pick it up and have some fun soon. |
 | Comment #20 by Atarii Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:10:45 AM I won't play HALO 3 again just for more online achievements, the multiplayer isn't worth it. If there are campaign achievemnts I'll certainly go for those. |
 | Comment #21 by Hoebagger Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:13:44 AM YEAH BOY!!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #22 by FourChan Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:14:51 AM I heard that the people that done the glitch on where you can goto the Japan server and glitch your achievements etc are gonna be banned from playing Halo 3 online, what it said on the Bungie Page. |
 | Comment #23 by ][-][illtopDesolater Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:16:12 AM LOL whoever said halo sucks is either retarted or just plain dumb |
 | Comment #24 by squirreltakos Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:22:32 AM @23 no... a good 50% of people don't care for halo Who ever believed we would get 750 extra points in the first place |
 | Comment #25 by mjc0961 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:25:40 AM I'm in the same boast as #24 here... Where'd all this talk of 750 extra points come from? DLC has always only upped a game to 1250 max points. Why does everything think some new map pack is going to boost it another 500? |
 | Comment #26 by Blue Radium Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:30:15 AM I'm already trying to get a good 4 player Legendary on Legendary with Iron on team... it's going to be hours and hours of tediously epic fun =) I just hope I can nail my first 50 before the update... |
 | Comment #27 by undyingone Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:30:39 AM wish i still had the game well might as well buy it again to give me somethin to do lol |

 | Comment #31 by odysseus123 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 03:20:11 AM @8 @24 You got proof that most people don't like it? As far as I can tell a lot of people like it. It's been in the top 5 ever since it came out. Just head over to majornelson.com and he'll give you the statistics. |
 | Comment #32 by Kaiyo Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 03:21:07 AM Yep for my B-day is some achievements. Too bad I'm gonna to go buy the games myself. |
 | Comment #33 by ferrari360max Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 03:27:07 AM i thought that they already confirmed they would only adding 250 in this update but that would not be all they would be adding, achievement wise. |
 | Comment #34 by Beau Coup Dinky Dau Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 03:35:42 AM Should be fun. I always am up for new achievements. |
 | Comment #35 by Slim Pizza Boy Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 04:22:23 AM Why can't they just keep games at 1k and move on |
 | Comment #36 by SebastianSB Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 04:33:42 AM people complaining "they're making us get the DLC to get the achievements"...you're all morons. Do you all not understand that any points above 1k in any game are for achievements? |
 | Comment #37 by YanksForTheWin Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 05:05:39 AM Halo is so mediocre.. gah.. the gameplay, the graphics, the story... why its top 5 most played games on Live is beyond me. Must be excellent marketing skills on Microsoft's behalf. |
| Comment #38 by Eddy Grant Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 05:30:48 AM I'd rather see a new game or an improved version of H3 than some crappy achievements. |
 | Comment #39 by xHHx CURT xHHx Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:04:34 AM MOST DISAPPOINTING GAME EVER!!!!!!!!1 or was that GTA? anyway bring on GOW2!!!!!! definatley good can tell by the 20 videos iv watched on it :) |
 | Comment #40 by Vince Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:24:40 AM it may give me a new reason to pop the halo 3 in before gears 2 comes out |
 | Comment #41 by Farrant Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:44:25 AM These look like the easiest achievements.... In the world. |
 | Comment #42 by the punishermx Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 07:02:14 AM i dont really like halo 3 |
 | Comment #43 by Xedoss Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 08:18:54 AM Probably not going to get it. Too many titles coming up which I'd rather play than H3... |
 | Comment #44 by TESTUBE BABY 82 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 08:52:41 AM never liked halo never will.overated .fear is better far cry is better |
 | Comment #45 by Simo13 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 09:13:30 AM i havent played halo 3 for maybe 8 months, ill boot it up and see what this is about and try to get any achievements, but thats about it |
 | Comment #46 by Vhako Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 09:38:48 AM Heh, you guys speak like someone has asked for your opinions, when the real truth is 99.9% of the worlds population couldn't care less if you like Halo 3 or not.. |
 | Comment #47 by Sakurafire Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 09:52:53 AM @#46 Truer words never been said. ^^ Seriously, all these people years ago could probably say they we playing the crap out of Halo 2's multiplayer. Heck, when it first came out it was huge as hell. I just like that when a more "realistic" game comes out they just jump on the band wagon and verbally crush their "roots." |
 | Comment #48 by Art Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:23:37 AM There will be more than 10 achievements...this is from the 9/5/08 update on bungie.net: "[after listing 10 new achievements]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." I expect they are associated with a new map pack that has yet to be announced and/or the new map called 'assembly.' |
| Comment #49 by GeneraL KaoZ Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:33:56 AM I also noticed that the lone wolves players has increased from 6 to 8. |
 | Comment #50 by Nutty Scouser Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:45:30 AM GOW 2 out sooon wont have time |
| Comment #51 by Zmoke Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 11:18:09 AM Halo 3 will own GOW2. You know, it will even get that Mythic Map Pack and possibly the extra 500 gamerscores. I read from Bungie.net that they will add the 10th achievement a bit later than the others. In Halo 3's anniversary day probably, which is in this month. |
 | Comment #52 by SengIV Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 11:26:47 AM This is stupid. This comes out and everyone complains about it. Quit complaining about it and enjoy it. |
 | Comment #53 by AVENGER305 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 11:50:46 AM Of course theres new achievements. Bungie said so in there weekly update a little wile ago. they all need the legendary map pack to get, |
 | Comment #54 by Tubbs Lardy Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 12:25:33 PM You get nothing but crap talk from alot of the other players. Some of them are just retarded. I won't be touching the game again! |
 | Comment #55 by INSANEKID13 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:14:22 PM seems good but not worth geeting on and rushing to get the achievements i will just play and they will come along |
 | Comment #56 by Smugu Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:46:21 PM Anyone who says Halo is bad game and that Halo sucks... They usually suck at it, and play cod4 all day |
 | Comment #57 by Astrex Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 01:53:38 PM I hope you don't have to buy those map to get these achievements |
 | Comment #58 by Cranbaby Sauce Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:13:30 PM You guys don't like Halo because you suck and get raped by the BR. Best Shooter ever, just ask Jesus. And #44, Fear and Far Cry sucked balls. Team Fortress, a bonus game with The Orange Box, is far better. Valve and Bungie know how to make games, not crap. Eat Halo 3's dick bitches. |
| Comment #59 by Cranbaby Sauce Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:21:19 PM Jerks |
 | Comment #60 by Leone Phelps Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:23:43 PM Wow a full comment about halo is the best game full of religion and profanity. Your cool, kid. Halo is an easy game that just gets boring. You rank up too fast and I'm gonna retry it out when they change this experience thing. Probably still gonna suck though. |
 | Comment #61 by knockton55 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:27:52 PM Ahhhh cool, im gonna play this again I think |
| Comment #62 by knockton55 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:28:28 PM Oh and #60, you fucking idiot. How the balls do you level up fast, at first yeah? But compared to COD4 rankings slower than a priest unzipping his fly. Get your facts right you ass bandit |
 | Comment #63 by SP4RT4N360 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:44:39 PM What is the point of negative achievements fucking pointless crap!! I loved halo but they fucked up with 3 it was mediocre at best more like halo 1.75 as halo 2 was just halo 1.5 instead of expanding the title and pushing the 360 bungie realised that no matter what crap they churned out it would sell by the shitload so thats what they did im hate to say it as i defended it for so long but GOW2 is gonna show this as the mediocre game it is!! then you have far cry 2, fallout 3, fable 2 only hardcore halo fanboys are gonna bother with this!! |
 | Comment #64 by BravoBradshaw Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 02:53:15 PM dont want to finish it again lol >. |
 | Comment #65 by stonedpimpdaddy Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 04:33:05 PM I was wondering if they were gonna still work on halo3. I guess this'll bring me back to playing this game again. If you have any questions regarding halo then why not go straight to the source where you can hear everything straight from the horses mouth (bungie.net) for those who don't know. here ya go. cant make it any simpler for ya |
 | Comment #66 by J Lew332 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 05:35:14 PM I was about to start playin Halo again for the next week leading up to the release to try and get my swagger back until I found out that you can get these in a social playlist. I dont know the reason behind that, its way too easy. Im not complaining though. |
 | Comment #67 by mbraucher Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:09:07 PM @ 66 - They probably allow it to be done in social so that all the "will you help me get my achievments" wimps can get their score & hope that they don't bother people in ranked matches. I think its a good approach. It won't be 100% effective, but it should help. - just my thoughts on the matter |
 | Comment #68 by Kevjohn Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:27:52 PM 750 just seems like an odd number to have added to a game i didn't really expect them to give that many achievements |
 | Comment #69 by Blue Thunder28 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:55:23 PM This will definitely get me back into the game. |
 | Comment #70 by mboy86 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 06:58:33 PM It has been confirmed on Bungie.com and I'm excited to get this new update. Plus, new maps are in the works as well. Bungie definently works hard to keep their fan base happy. With Halo Wars and another unnamed title in the works, I'm happy to see that Bungie still finds time to make more maps and add achievements. This is why Bungie is one of my more trusted developers. |
| Comment #71 by R3f1cul Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 07:07:57 PM Wow i hate that this came out soooo late after the game, i've been playing COD4 and i tried to play halo 3 the other day when i heard of the new ach. but the graphics were sooo bad and the frame rate was so choppy that i just gave it up to play COD again. |
 | Comment #72 by Nevander Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 07:42:21 PM I can't wait for these! I mean jeez you get 50 points for a flag melee kill. So easy. The VidMaster challenges sound fun lol, even though for no points. |
 | Comment #73 by Parkerktm Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 07:43:30 PM sweet!!! Can't wait, 250 will most likely be easy too. |
 | Comment #74 by II xIMPACTx II Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 07:54:31 PM Halo 3 is a mediocore game which for some godforsaken reason people flock to in droves. First was a blast, second was a true upgrade and 3 gave us the EXACT same thing. Seriously, Mario Galaxy revolutionized the platforming genre, a dying genre, which is WAY more than Halo 3 did. CoD4 is seriously the best realistic shooter out there, Raindow Six was okay but really slow. Before you go off saying some random shit like, "OmG Cod fanb0I!!@#" My favorite game I have ever played was Street Fighter 2, and, unlike most people, I actually played it back in the arcades. |
| Comment #75 by TESTUBE BABY 82 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 09:51:18 PM @ 58. halo is overated .theres nothing remotely good about it.u like a lot of other people were sucked into the hype and brain washed into believing it was good |
 | Comment #76 by G_Ghoul Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:22:25 PM I used to play Halo 3 a fair amount online, but after I started getting lag more and more often I just started playing COD4 and haven't gone back since. Btw, it is easier to lvl. up in COD4 then it is on Halo 3, believe me, I know. |
 | Comment #77 by FC Hammer Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:33:58 PM |
| Comment #78 by FC Hammer Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:35:13 PM ok so the title update is going to be free you dont have to pay do get the ability to unlock achivements (duh) and yes they are resetting the ranks you will still have your high skill but exp gone to 0 and you will have a rank based on exp for every playlist |
 | Comment #79 by billygolden78 Friday, September 19, 2008 @ 10:51:03 PM Im not buying an expansion pack just for 250 gamerpoints. They need to stop nickel and diming us already!!!! |
 | Comment #80 by jbkiller Saturday, September 20, 2008 @ 02:34:56 AM wow people are retarted. can cod allow you to make your own maps, does it allow you to make your own game types, does it have coop. not saying cod4 is bad though. just because it has more realistic graphics, you guys think halo graphics are bad, you must be kidding. and you guys who say that they are releasing the achievements to make you buy maps, you must be out of your mind. if you never noticed bungie always makes their maps free at some point. and the legendary map pack had a its price reduced, not for 2 days like cod4. and once the new maps come they will make legendary maps free. serously all you guys are retarded |
 | Comment #81 by TitansLax Saturday, September 20, 2008 @ 06:27:14 AM i dont know why so many of them though are worth 0 gamerscore |
| Comment #82 by Vince Sunday, September 21, 2008 @ 09:14:17 AM People if you dont like halo 3 so much why do you read a post on halo 3 or write a comment about halo 3? do you do it to get on peoples bad side who enjoy the game? in my opinion if i dont like a game i wont waste my valuable time readin or writing about it! jus my thoughts! |
| Comment #83 by Cranbaby Sauce Thursday, September 25, 2008 @ 03:00:58 PM #75, was not brainwashed into anything. Played Halo, Halo 2 online, and Halo 3 online. I haven't had more fun playing multiplayer than in those three games. My opinion tough shit homo. CoD4 and GoW are both great so will Gears 2. I played them all online, but Halo has a place in my heart, homo. So eat dick, homo, and stop complaining about Halo, who obviously is a great game (# of peeple still playing, sales, and Microsofts commitment). Homo+ |
