TU2 FAQ
A lot of questions have popped up about the Title Update 2, released yesterday - over at Bungie.net, SketchFactor has posted the TU2 FAQ. Check it out for from-the-source answers to things that might be puzzling you! (Louis Wu 23:31:35 UTC) (permalink)
7 on 7 - clarified
There's been quite a bit of confusion about the new '7 on 7' achievement, and what you need to do to earn it. SketchFactor stopped by our forum today with a clarification:
The real scoop now is that you just need to hit the #7 in EXP in ANY playlist on the 7th of the month.
So... you can earn 6 EXP in Team Slayer and then earn 1 more on the 7th and earn it. You can also just go into the special playlist that is released on 10/7 and earn all 7 there.
So... you NEED to hit number 7 in a given playlist to get it - but if you've already PASSED number 7 in all playlists, you can still do it in the special playlist that appears on that day. Not bad! (Louis Wu 18:27:45 UTC) (permalink)

Halo/Army campaign wins award
Halo has won yet ANOTHER advertising award - this time, though, it's not the Believe campaign. IAB's MIXX Awards were given out last night - and the Bronze award in the 'Brand Awareness and Positioning' category went to Universal McCann for the U.S. Army Halo 3 Experience campaign. Thanks, MarketWatch.

Security/Katana achievement update
Yesterday, we mentioned that folks who didn't have the Security helmet or the Katana were finding that these armor permutations unlocked with gamerscore increases from NEW achievements. Upon closer examination, there are actually two requirements, not just one: you need to have 1000 gamerscore from Halo 3 achievements (as we said yesterday), but you ALSO need a total of at least 49 Halo 3 achievements. They don't have to be the ORIGINAL 49 - but a gamerscore of, say, 1030, and a total of 46 achievements (where I stand at the moment) will not do it. All examples of people succeeding in unlocking the extras that I've looked into have shown both features - 1000 GS, and 49 achievements. If you're upset that you're over 1000, but don't have the goodies yet - earn a few more. (Caveat - even BEFORE the achievement increase, there were people who had trouble unlocking these features, even though they'd met all the requirements. This is probably still true.)

Halo MMO Concept Art
Kotaku posted a huge collection of concept art, ostensibly from the scrapped Halo MMO we mentioned yesterday. These range from interesting to downright silly. gunluva was the first to notice, but the thread I started (I hadn't seen his post) got a lot of heated responses. Join in and add your own comments!
