So, this happened on Tuesday I believe, but no one commented about it.
So Bungie has gone ahead and changed the ranking system AND added new Achievements. They added 750 points worth, but apparently only 250 are playable. The rest are for something that bungie said:
"However, only the ten listed above are ones you should be concerned with for the time being. The other achievements are tied to things we have yet to reveal and there's really not much we can say on the matter right now"
Hmmm, well this is interesting. Looks like we might be seeing these new maps sooner then some thought? Well, I for one love the fact that there's new achievements.
Here's a list of the currently unlockable achievements:
If you notice though, 3 of them aren't worth anything, so technically there are only 7 achievements that'll give you points. But, take a look at this:
"First off are the “Vidmaster Challenge” achievements. These three will not earn you any gamer points but there will (eventually) be a pay-off. We’re not going to spoil the fun just yet but suffice it to say that gamerscore isn’t everything. There is a pot of gold at the end of the Vidmaster rainbow and it is something you will want. More details later."
Well, they've convinced me. XD
