Subject: Halo3 To B.net Bugs

I've kept quiet about these bugs because I always figured someone else would metion them and Bungie would likewise fix the bugs. But 5 months down the line & with new bugs showing up, I see now that I need to go ahead and mention them to rest my nerves.


Okay, I'm assuming these are bugs because they seem to be happening mostly to me.
I beat Halo3's Legendary Campaign 2 Days after it released (09/27/07) but B.net STILL says I've only beaten Heroic. Feel free to check yourself through Halo3 itself if you want.

Other Stat bugs are happening as well. I've plaied online games that's not even showing up in B.net. I've gotten:

- Tons of Zombie based medals (mostly Last Man Standing, Zombie Killing Spree, And Zombie Killing Frenzy)
- Running Riots
- One Rampage do know,
-Sniper Sprees (I LOVE the Sniper Rifle)
-Most certainly more then one Over-Kill
-Two Sharp Shooters
-Running Riot
-Slice & Dice
-Killtacular
-and others

But NONE of them are showing up on Bungie.net Like I said before, even the games aren'
t showing up. I do tend to play more Social games, but that should have nothng to do with it.

Also, the B.net Icon has stopped working in Halo3 for me. I click to activate it on B.net and save. But in Halo3 it doesn't work. And if it does, then it only appears a few times. I LOVE Bungie.net and love showing it off.


Why is this stuff happening, Bungie?
By The Way, what is a "Stacktacular?" I don't remember ever getting it, but B.net says I did as least once.

Thanks,

The reasons some of your medals don't show up is because the server has to collect data from your games.It takes a while to update. Also it's called "Steaktacular" not Stack and it's when you beat the opponent by at least 20 kills. It only shows up on B.Net.

You do realise that social medals are displayed separately from ranked medals. This is a surprisingly common mistake.

The only reason I can think of is that the site is simply being slow. There are hundreds of thousands of games a day to crunch through. Don't worry if your stats page is a little behind. You'll catch up.

The septagon problem is a glitch I believe. Keep showing and saving it every time it disappears. It sticks eventually.

As for steaktacular, that's a reference to a game mentioned in the podcast between some Bungie employees. If the winning team won by 20 points, the losers had to buy them a steak. If you repeat this feat, you get the medal, which is applied after the game. Therefore it won't show up on your screen.

I figured that. But most of the stats I'm talking about are over 3-4 months old. Most noticably the Legendary Notification. I see games I played in the last few days but not from months ago? It makes no sence.

If that's what the Steaktacular is, then I should have more then one of those as well.

Well that does explain the Zombie Medals. I've only encountered that game during Social games. But all of the rest I KNOW were in ranked games. Including Beating down a VIP. But that's not showing up either.

I would play more Ranked games, but unlike Halo2, the quiters tend to play those more then Social. The entire thing is fustrating. Espacially when you want to show a buddy your stats and you don't have a GOLD membership (only trails).

Nope. Same GT I've had ever since Xbox Live started. I love my SEspider tag. I'm lucky to have it. Many have tried to recreate it with stuff like:

SEspyder
SoutheastSpider
SEspider117

And others. It's pretty amusing really. lol

I'm not sure what's wrong with your stats, other than suggesting you wait to see if it works out. But for the campaign shield being wrong, try watching "Arrival" on Legendary. Sometimes that messes people up.

Sometimes I really wonder why they don't just tie that to the achievements you have earned because it seems the campaign levels beaten achievements work all the time whereas the service record doesn't. After all, you have the achievement, so that alone suffices to prove you have beaten it on legendary, and should be legitimate proof to mark it as such on your service record.
