New Achievements for Halo 3 Officially Announced

A new set of achievements for Halo 3 has been rumored for a little while, but no one knew any details about it’s contents and the date of it’s launch. It seems like today’s weekly update has fixed that. The updates can be expected this month, but it should also be noted that they keep floating back towards Halo 3’s one-year anniversary. In an update called Title Update 2(basically, a patch), Bungie plans on fixing many under the hood glitches in the game as well as crack down on cheating as well as bringing the following the achievements:

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.
