UPDATE: AddictGaming.com scores again, this time with images of new achievements for Halo 3. Study the image closely and you will notice that the list says "79 out of 79 achievements." That is an additional 30 achievements added. No news on how these will be available, but we can be sure that Bungie is not done with halo 3 by a long shot. Head to the link above to see many more images.





AddictGaming.com spotted something very interesting via Bungie at PAX. As you can see in the image the title screen still says Halo 3, but what is this "Mythic?" As AG noticed there are a few differences from the Halo 3 menu now;

• "There's a Dev System underneath, which could mean a fair few things.
• The options in the menu are Multiplayer only, no Campaign options.
• The version of the game is 1.2 (Retail Halo 3 is currently 1.1)"

Very interesting. Could this be a massive multiplayer update for the game or something else? Hopefully more will come as PAX unfolds. Stay tuned to GPU for developments.
