So, there’s a Halo 3 patch that just dropped today, adding a new ranking system and a bunch of new achievements.

The other story, however, is that they also added a different set of achievements that you can’t get quite yet, and they hint at some interesting downloadable content to come in the future.

The achievements provide a list what is presumably going to be the new maps in the Mythic DLC pack: Assembly, Citadel, Heretic, Longshore, Orbital and Sandbox.

The thing is, on these maps, you have to find hidden skulls to get the achievements.

Hidden skulls are little items you can pick up in the single player or co-op campaign of Halo 3. Finding one lets you enhance the game with cheats or handicaps, depending on what the skull is.

I’m pretty noobish when it comes to Halo 3, but I don’t recall there being any skulls on the multiplayer maps, nor can I find any info about anything like that. Could it be that some of the new DLC is actually new co-op missions?

That would be pretty great for me and most of my friends, who love co-op but couldn’t give a damn about deathmatch Slayer or other competitive game types. If it’s true, I just might bust Halo 3 out again to be assaulted by bloom lighting.
