Bungie: Leaked Achievements legit, coming by month's end

There's been quite a bit of mystery and confusion regarding Halo 3 lately, which is almost exactly what was happening at this time last year. It's enough to make one nostalgic. Bungie spokesman Luke Smith recently waded in to try to clear up some of what's in store for the game and its still-thriving community.

First, the list of Achievements you saw here recently is on the money, though Smith isn't talking about all of them. What he will say is that they're part of Title Update 2, which is due before the end of the month. TU2 will also include some under-the-hood stuff, a separate military rating in each playlist and a new type of ban. According to Smith, it's a "spike on the banhammer [that] will soon drip wet with the blood of jerks and the innards of sinners." Sounds delightful.
