Facts

 * Most of the Vidmaster achievements do not reward the player with points but if all Vidmaster achievements are acquired then the player will be rewarded with Recon armor for multi-player play. Though, the player must also own a copy of Halo 3: ODST in order to finish the Vidmaster achievements.
 * There are seven Vidmaster achievements; four achievements can be found in Halo 3 while the other three are, as of now, to be released with Halo 3: ODST.
 * The Vidmaster Challenge: Brainpan requires a user to find six skulls on six maps in the Mythic Map Pack with one skull being on each map. Players will have a chance to achieve half of this challenge when Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox become available in February but will have to wait until Fall 2009 to finish the achievement when Halo 3: ODST ships.  Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore will ship with Halo 3: ODST.
 * Vidmaster Challenge: Brainpan is the only known Vidmaster Challenge that rewards the player with points. For gaining the Brainpan achievement the player is rewarded with 25 gamer points.
 * The Vidmaster Challenge achievements for Halo 3 did not ship with the original game. The Halo 3 Title 2 Update increased the amount of achievements for the game from 49 to 79 allowing for a 750 gamer point increase.
