TU2 is here!

Midnight last night an historic thing in Halo history happened. The Title Update 2 was indeed released.

They released a number of new achievements bringing the number of achievements to get up to 73!

According to Bungie, the Vidmaster Challenges are very valuable, and if you get them all, there is a great surprise.

The rest are worth quite a bit. And yet, Bungie has more in store. The TU2 only allows you to get 10 of the other achievements. They do have quite a few maps coming. Two of which are "Assembly" and "Heritic" There are, of course, more than that, but you can turn on your 360s and take a look.
