Some achievements (probably campaign completion, et al) are likely to be the ones that remain the same. But I really liked the thrust of Halo CEA's achievements, where they encouraged alternate styles of play or odd limitations (Leave It Where It Lay, Spare The Little Guys, Speed Reader.) I hope we get more of those. On the multiplayer side since the suite is designed to be integrated I really hope it's just cumulative general playstyle achievements (like "play a match on every map", "win X matches of Halo 2" or something pretty simple and less gimmicky.)

Looking at the numbers and the sources for the human population, it seems to be very revisionist. The numbers get larger the later the publication date. I have a feeling nothing is going to come of this discussion, because I find the Bestiarum the best source, where you see it is inaccurate based on numbers that come later and from a different source.

Yeah, this is going nowhere fast.
Gah, I need more info! You guys think we'll see anything about armor customization at Comicon?
I think they are doing new achievements for the collection it would be a bit of a misfire to have the exact same ones again.
You would think all the playlist specific ones would have to go because the playlist setup isn't the same.
Actually, they should have zero achievements that require a certain map/gametype combo to exist in matchmaking. Don't need to be handicapping matchmaking, already split as it is, with that.
Also, I think it goes without saying that all the Vidmasters in Halo 3 will be removed or renamed.

I really hope they're not removed entirely. I was taking a break from gaming when the Vidmasters were first added, and I missed the big initial wave of people trying to get them. I'd love to get another chance at that experience.
Yeah, that's why I threw in renamed. Figure the original name is going to be hard due to it being Bungie IP. 7 on the 7th is probably an obvious one to drop as well. Presuming per-playlist EXP won't be a thing anymore.
I don't think there's any problem with 343 using the Vidmaster name, since a few Spartan Assault achievements used it. On the other hand, I'll be kind of pissed if Bungie can't use it anymore since 343 "owns" it now or something.
This will be number 4 for me. Xbox, pc, 360, xbone.

Have you tried putting the blue thing on your target?
It's good to try and get used to a higher sensitivity. You can try getting used to a lower sensitivity and then working up from there until you find one that works for you. That's what I did.

Halo 4 is $15 on the XBL marketplace. Haven't played Halo 4 since May of last year, almost considering it.
Just wait for the MCC dude :/
you're better than that...

If you got the cash to blow, why not?
Why not blow it on something meaningful? Like some nice indie game. Or a pizza?

They said we will be getting new cheevos. I'm personally hoping for a "Win(or play) a match on every MP map" achievement. Forcing people to play games, that they'd rather not, get's me all happy inside.

Hahaha this GIF. Well played sir.
So no news since #gungoose huh? When do you guys think we'll see more?
And by news I mean actual good stuff
SDCC & Comic Con
Edit:
And Comic Con, don't forget there is also Comic Con, and Comic Con
Nah Gamescom, PAX, Eurogamer etc.
How's that 50 coming Gundam?
Apparently August is going to be the next big news reveal during GAMESCOM and Comic Con... why did that auto cap? If I recall it will involve more maps and details on armor customization.

Poor Ryn. He got the "Oh..." LOL
I was trying to play halo 3 again. Nope. For some reason the aiming in that game feels like the worst thing ever conceived. Why is it I can play halo 1 & 2 on xbc with no issues aiming the utility weapon, even reach & 4 also with no issues. When I try halo 3 though it feels like there are bricks taped to the br. Its heavy and hard to maneuver the way I want =/ Am I crazy or does anyone else feel 3's aiming is off when they have randomly tried to play it?

It could be your aim sensitivity but yeah it does feel slow at times for me. I think it mostly has to do with the feedback being terrible though. I can never tell if I actually landed shots. Wasn't Halo 3 the only one with bullet travel for most of its weapons?
The aiming itself hasn't really been an issue for me, but that could just be due to me usually playing between low to mid sensitivities. What I do notice is the actual movement being kind of sluggish though.
Yeah, Halo 3 used projectile weapons as opposed to hitscan.

Good games tonight guys. "Some people" should chase kills less, charge without teammates less, and use other parts of the map than the bottom more often 
Oh.
Oh.

Oh.
Was a great time.
Since they said that it is supposed to just be considered Halo 2 Directors Cut, I doubt it. Hopefully we will find out in August but I really hope that they didn't do that. I'm sick of my Spartan getting his hand super glued.
What I'm more worried about is if the "kill this guy" waypoint is coming back. I hate it so much.
Would of been better as aimless but oh well.
I don't even care about achievements anymore. No way in hell will I spend the time I did to get the Lone Wolves ones at launch for Halo 3. Same goes for the ones in Halo 4. Wish I could turn them off altogether. I do hate the fact all my file shares which have me legitimately getting a lot of them probably won't be seen ever again.

I hope they keep adding content to H2A MP so they can have Classic Halo Fans pleased with new stuff and try to do crazy new things with following halos MP
San Diego Comic Con and Comic Con?
What about Gamescom and Eurogamer?
Dammit, nobody realized it.
My mistake would have gone unnotied.
Of course I meant Gamescom lol
Nothing about the current info for H2A seems to be "classic halo" so I'm not sure how adding more to it will appease those fans.
Halo 5 should avoid trying to do all these crazy new things. At the very least put all crazy new things on a gametype toggle so it doesn't take mods or a title update to turn them off.
Yeah Halo 2 Anniversary has changes but saying "crazy new things" ? Come on.
The gungoose is the only thing that fits this desription.
Speedboost? Uhm there were custom powerups that could improve your speed.
Loadouts (if really be completely configurable) are the biggest offenders, though without Perks and AAs it isn't as bad.
We are (as we are aware) still free of Sprint, AAs, Flinch and will probably go back to descoping.
I just hope no promethean weapons are in

Yeah, something feels off with Halo 3's aiming. It always takes me a bit to get used to. I think it's the aim acceleration.
Doesn't speedy spend like $10,000/year on video games? Why would he need convincing to spend $15 on microsoft's babby?
Oh look, old posts i forgot I multi-quoted yesterday.
Yeah, it sucks. Not so bad today, but I have to be careful which is worse.
Nah, I'm gonna freeze myself.
Good lord that sounds painful
