According to a post over on Ascendant Justice Forums, there will be a new set of 30 Halo 3 achievements that will be releasing in the near future and they even include screenshot proof (ninja-taken during PAX) to prove it. Content that may have something to do with that Halo 3 Mythic rumor we heard about the other day. The achievements, which look to be based on the Heroic, Legendary and (speculated) Mythic map packs, look rather legit seeing that the descriptions, achievement names AND off-screen photographic proof are supplied. But, as is customary with Bungie, we're in the dark regarding how they'll be implemented, whether or not the content has anything to do with the Mythic stuff or even the E3 stuff. That is if this is legit news. Enough speculation, take a looksy a the (rumored to be new) Halo 3 achievement names after the break. Picture "evidence" after the jump.

To anyone who did not notice:
ASSEMBLY Skull
ORIBTAL Skull (Orbit, sounds like map called Moonbase Alpha)
so other four are probably new maps in the map pack.

Hmmm this makes Halo mythic very interesting. Last week i just assumed it was a MP only build with the new map since Mythic is the rumored name for the map pack... but now with achievements im a little more intrigued

I'm not sure, the points seem high for Halo. 25-50 points an achievement? Just seems kind of odd.

Those gamerscore points are way high. I agree.

I may be wrong but isn't there suppose to be 250 GPs with each DLC that comes out?
considering the mythic map pack could be the third DLC, could Bungie be puttiing in 750 gamerscores for it because of the three map packs?
pardon the gramaticcal mess

--------------------
Not quite. The maximum gamerscore that can be added to a retail game is 250G. It's capped at 1250G and 250G for XBLA games.
An extra 750G+ is unlikely for Halo 3 DLC.

dammit! I just got my last achievement in Halo 3 over the weekend. Oh well, I guess it will give me another reason to go back to Halo.

Wow, 750 more points to be had. Whatever happened to the max extra gamerscore of 250 pts? Like Oblivion and others. I thought that 1250 was the cap. Interesting.

Yeah, i always thought that too.
I suppose Microsoft is willing to give Halo a bit of extra room. (if this rumour is true that is)

I'm guessing a new map pack will come out (which will include Assembly and a few other maps) which is called Mythic and will included new achievements.
Regarding this rumour:
http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/08/30/pax-2008-halo-3-mythic-whats-halo-3-mythic/
It is just a halo 3 disc edited so it includes the map Assembly (they couldn't put it on the server) and they edited the title to let people know that the map is called mythic

What, nobody caught on the names of the achievements?
Most of those names are based on Marathon-related elements (i.e. level names, the Vidmaster challenge).
Enjoy the Vidmaster challenge. It's not for the weak.

750 points - it's a full expansion then, that you can buy in stores or download off Marketplace, as one did with Shivering Isles.

You could be on to something! My guess is that all the skull achievement's are new maps. IF THATS TRUE, then sandbox probably is the level maker from the award video! Also that's 6 new maps, which is really good for a halo map pack.

Actually, all the skulls basically says that these are new levels to the single player game, and I'm betting it's on the planet you see at the end of Halo 3 on Legendary.
Legendary. Mythic. GET IT?
Unless they're actually levels from Bungie's Myth. Now THAT would be extremely weird. :p

No, they're mp maps. Assembly is a brand new mp map recently announced by Bungie. Odds are that the other skull ach names (orbital, sandbox) are mp maps too.
And too everyone going on about 1250G limit, thats not true, its limited to 250G for each set of dlc. There are 3 map packs (dlc), including the mythic map pack for halo 3, therefore 250x3=750G
