While more technical updates are on the way, CA are also working on a raft of tweaks and fixes to both single and multiplayer gameplay, including changes to unit prices, upkeep costs, AI tactics and, most important of all, the introduction of AI naval invasions. There goes my "Fortress Britain" fallback.

Also in line for alteration is unit balancing, a change to the game's economy to prevent late-game stockpiling of huge amounts of cash and the ability to delete those save games that have been building up as your grand campaigns progress.

All that and more will be included in the game's next patch, due soon, while future gameplay upgrades will address more unit balance issues, AI upgrades and "some nice free stuff".

Empire: Total War Patch Update [VE3D]

Smith points out that the included list of achievements aren't all of the new ones coming with Title Update 2.

As folks have seen, these aren’t the only achievements we’re adding. But without proper context, there’s not a whole lot else we’re going to say. Stay tuned.

The update may slip as well, Smith points out, to closer to the Halo 3 one year anniversary. Now for those achievements which can be earned via the Legendary Maps and Halo 3 Campaign:

* Vidmaster Challenge: Lightswitch (0 points) – Get to the rank of Lieutenant in any playlist in the new EXP progression system.
* Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7 (0 points) – Enter into any ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th of the month.
* Vidmaster Challenge: Annual (0 points) – After 9/25/08, complete Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
* Double Double (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get two Double Kills during any ranked or social match.
* Poor Yorick (25 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 Oddball melee kills during any ranked or social match.
* Came…From…Behind (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get 3 assassinations during any ranked or social match.
* Defend This (50 points) – On a Legendary map, get a flag melee kill during any ranked or social match.

No word yet from Bungie on when or how they're going to be sending this out to Halo 3 gamers.
