As you can see, this adds 10 achievements worth 250 GamerScore. Bungie confirmed more achievements are on the way saying: “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.” The achievements will arrive alongside Title Update 2. Judging by the achievement description, this will arrive around Thursday 25th September 2008. More details on TU2 can be found here.
