New Halo 3 Achievements revealed

Bungie has spilled the beans on 10 new Halo 3 Achievements that will be patched into the game when Title Update 2 goes live later this month. The majority are based around the Legenday Map Pack released back in April, but there is one for fans of campaign co-op.

Earlier leaked information suggested Halo 3 would be updated with three packs of 10 Achievements / 250 gamerscore points. Bungie’s update notes: “… 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.”

Title Update 2 also adds a host of under-the-hood changes, details on which can be found over on Bungie.net.
