Various achievements unlock armor types in Halo 3. In Halo 3, there are 49 achievements and a total of 1,000 Gamerscore to earn.
Comparisons and contrasts between Halo 2 PC's and Halo 3's Achievement lists
(Note that the Xbox version and variant of Halo 2, since it was released long before the Xbox 360, contains no achievements.)
Both games' respective lists are similar in that in both cases, achievements are split up fairly evenly between single-player and multiplayer modes.
Halo 3, however, offers quantitative rewards for finding the various skulls located throughout the game, while Halo 2 does not.
"Kill three (or four) enemies within four seconds" comprises a pair of achievements common to both titles. While Halo 2 PC refers to these achievements as "Triple Kill" and "Killtacular" respectively, however, Halo 3 refers to these as "Triple Kill and Overkill."
Halo 3 offers several achievements ("Used Car Salesman" and "Headshot Honcho", for example) that may be earned in either single-player or multiplayer, while Halo 2 does not.
