Halo 3 Title Update coming on 9/23

[Queasy]

Link - Best to jump straight to the Bungie.net page and read it instead of copying and pasting since it has pretty pictures and the like.

Short summary:
[*]Playlist Ratings page updated
[*]Career Stats page updated
[*]Player comparisons added
[*]Playlist changes on Ranked, Social, DLC, and Hardcore Playlists
[*]Something like 30 new achievements added

I know some people complain about console games being patched at release and becoming like PC games but it's a double-edged sword. Console games getting patched also allows for title updates like this and the one Burnout: Paradise has received. Net positive I think as long as the devs stay dedicated to supporting their titles.

Yeah, I saw a notice on Bungie's website the other day about the new achievements. Alot of them require you to have the Legendary map pack (which I don't).

Still, cool news I guess.

Added Boundless ? Snowbound with reduced Shield Doors. Added alongside default variant.

That should be interesting.

If not confusing.

Perhaps, but only until you encounter the first missing shield door of the match.

I'm assuming by "reduced" they mean "fewer", and I'm wondering which they'll remove. Removing the three wider doors would be interesting, because you could take the ghost into places it's not supposed to go (although I have in the past gotten the ghost down into the cave AND I've gotten a few splatters that way, AND I've gotten it back out of the cave after doing that; but I only do that when I'm screwing around).

Removing just the wide door on the cave would make that area a lot less attractive place to camp. I really hope that's what they're going for. I still enjoy playing on Snowbound, I just hate when people just camp down there.

I did that with a ghost almost every round. Nobody ever expects it or has a good anti-ghost weapon down there. But I still hate the shield doors- i'd like to play on the top part of Snowbound too.
