What does a guy do to have to unlock the Heroic (and Normal) campaign achievements? I just beat the game on Heroic and got neither of the two achievements for beating the campaign. Is there any reason for this? Anyone have an idea why this has happened?

If LIVE is down why would you expect to receieve Achievements? Unless its up now I havnt been on to see.

Because you earn achievements offline as well. Besides, I got THE GREAT JOURNEY achievement whilst "Live is down" so there isn't an issue there. The issue is I just haven't recieved either of the achievements I should have for completing the campaign on HEROIC.

If you didn't complete any of the levels in one sitting, do so. Also make sure you viewed the opening cutscenes, because those count as levels too.

Scarlet, you telling me that if I saved and closed the game at any point in a level, I have to replay it?

I don't think I can be bothered if that's the solution! Deary me.. thanks for your response though. Appreciate the help :)

We cant just skip the cutscenes by hitting the spacebar? Is there a way to skip the credits?

Well I'm not saying that's a requirement, however that seems to be the common fix among people who don't get the achievement. Do it one level at a time, and finish the level, don't Save & Quit. Personally, I quit a few times during my playthroughs and still got the achievements, but from the ones who don't seem to get them, playing the levels in one sitting seems to fix the glitch. Glad to be of any help I can. =D

And no, you can't skip the credits. =/

Ah okay Scarlet. I think I know what level it may have been anyway. Definetely DELTA HALO is a possiblity but the most likely one is REGRET. I'm mostly sure of all the others :)

Do legendary. That should buy you time til Live is up and you'll get all three. I'm on Gravemind. (I hate it).

Honestly the hardest level on Legendary was Cairo Station, 'twas quite weird -- or so I thought. I'm not saying the rest of the game was easy, but Cairo took about twenty times as much effort as the rest of the game.

Hooligunn, You should see this since youve beat it before.

Read This.

I forgot... What was the level where the Chief was teleported into the council chambers by Gravemind? The one that starts off with two brutes nailing you in the head? That was my hardest single moment because all you get is a needler

Oh yes, that bit was quite hard. You had to pretty much backpedal and take cover or you would die. But once you killed one of the Brutes and took his Plasma Rifle it wasn't so bad.

I got some single player achievements during LIVE downtime. Got Delta Halo, High Charity, and Gravemind. You still can get single player achievements.

Sorry it just seemed a little weird that the LIVE network is down but it would still be able to send Achievements. My mistake.

I don't think the LIVE network is down, given Xbox Live still works, and on Windows Live you can still see and message people on your friends list, and sign in / connect to your LIVE profile in-game. It's just the servers that are on the fritz.

I can never remember the names of the levels. Just before you get to the heretic leader there is a darkish foggy room that you're stuck in filled with flood. Is there a fast way out of it or do you just have to sit there and wait for a timer to end?
