Halo CE Magnum coming to Reach

Halo: Combat Evolved's beloved Magnum pistol is coming to Halo: Reach multiplayer as part of an upcoming title update for the game, Microsoft has announced.

The weapon will be supported in "special, classic playlists", according to the announcement.

The patch, due some time in October, also brings with it a number of multiplayer fixes. Armor Lock has been tweaked so that it now absorbs damage based on the amount of remaining energy a player has.

Active Camo's duration has also been reduced and the ability to block sword attacks using any weapon other than another sword has been turned off.

Reticle "bloom" is now configurable, meaning greater accuracy when firing rapidly, and players using a 4GB Xbox 360 console without a HDD can now access Campaign and Firefight matchmaking.

WTF!? No Bloom and no sword block, just ruin the frakkin game .... oh well, Geras 3 it is.

[Autarch Kade]

Wish they'd fix things like making a bulltrue medal mean something instead of ruining things that worked fine lol

[Failed]

i got a bulltrue today with a DMR

[nCogNeato]

It's great they fixed the 4GB HDD issue.

Personally, I don't like the sword-block ... but that's because I'm crap at doing it.   

[Failed]

no Bloom will just make it easier for n00bs to kill me and think they are awesome ... i'm gonna Shake Double-bop them into submission ... unless they have a sword, then ima sprint

Halo: Reach's Anniversary Multiplayer Map Pack Achievements Surface

When Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary launches next month, Halo: Reach owners will be able to download the Anniversary map pack, enabling Halo: CE players and Reach players to get their multiplayer on with one another on several classic maps. And so, with a new map pack, comes new multiplayer achievements.

In fact, there's seven new multiplayer map pack achievements, as revealed in a post on the official Halo site, with a total of 250 Gamerscore. Check them out below:

Top Shot - Get 3 headshot kills in a row in a matchmade game - 50 points

Emergency Room - Infect 3 players in a single round in a matchmade Infection game - 15 points

Stick it to the Man! - Stick and kill the flag carrier with a Plasma Grenade in a matchmade game - 20 points

Dive Bomber - Perform a Beat Down on an enemy player while using the Jetpack during a matchmade game - 50 points

License to Kill - Run over 5 people with a Ghost in a matchmade game - 15 points

Bounty Hunter - Capture 10 skulls at once in a matchmade Headhunter game - 75 points

From Hell's Heart - Kill an enemy player that sticks you with a Plasma Grenade with their own grenade in a matchmade game - 25 points

You'll be able to get hold of the Anniversary map pack as DLC for Halo: Reach, when Halo: CE Anniversary launches on November 15th, 2011 or you can simply get them with Anniversary itself. Either way, more Halo multiplayer achievements can only be seen as a good thing, right?

Most of those sound pretty easy.  Not looking forward to the skullamanjaro one though.  I wonder if you'll be able to get these through custom games like you could with some of the earlier "matchmaking" achievements.
