You have caused confusion and delay.

Where can I find the Ghost on Halo? I'v been looking everywhere, and it's not there! Or will they only appear in coop?

They only appear in co-op. They're under the last ramp you walk up to get to the top of the tower. They only appear after you kill Guilty Spark.

I tried it last night but my friend's dad came in a turned of his box since it was past his bed time. We were about 3 minutes from the end too.

I am a skilled Forger and a Premium member of Forgehub.com, check out my maps! Also join Forever Forgers and United We Forge

So say your friend is a 50 in doubles, you play with him alot and soon you become a 50 as well, is this considered boosting. If so, why? that doesnt seem wrong to me. Please, anyone who knows, answer this for me. Also, there has been a budget glitch found in Forge, is that considered content modification and punishable? Also, there are ways to force objects into the geometry of the level, is this wrong? I just ask these 3 questions cuz I would hate to be banned for reasons I didnt know about. I am only a 41 and thats in lone wolves, but if I got to 50 in doubles playing with a friend, I wouldnt expect to get banned for that. Plus, this budget glitch has paved the way for some great forge maps but can cause lag in your gameplay so I would appreciate an answer on these questions so I know what not to do. PLEASE!

Q: My Security Shoulders/Katana never unlocked when I originally earned my 750/1000 gamerscore. Will they finally unlock when I earn the new achievements?

A: Unfortunately there is a known bug with these two unlockable items that sometimes results in players not getting them when they should. Our testing has shown that in some cases, people do get these items as they earn additional gamerscore through the new achievements but sometimes they do not. This is being investigated further.

Yeahh...I have a slightly different inquiry in regards to the Katana & Security Helmet items.

Now, I still need to acquire the Orpheus & Reclaimer achievements (I already have the rest of the original 49 achievements), in order to reach a HALO 3 Gamerscore of 1000, to unlock the Katana & Security Helmet, BUT now that the new set of achievements have been rolled out, I am unsure as to whether I have to wait and acquire the rest of the new batch of achievements, in addition to the original 49 achievements (making for a total of 79), or if achieving ONLY the original 49 achievements will be suffice in order to unlock the Katana & Security Helmet.
I've been worried, and have been trying to rush to acquire the last of the meta-campaign achievements before the new set of achievements were released, so that I could unlock the Katana & Security Helmet, since I wasn't sure whether or not I had to "acquire ALL achievements" OR "reach a HALO 3 Gamerscore of 1000".
But it was too late, when I found out that the new achievements were already released on the 23rd, instead of the advertised/announced 25th release.
I seriously hope I don't have to acquire the new set of achievements, instead of just finishing the last two of my meta-campaign achievements, just so I can get my Katana & Security Helmet.

So my question is:
→ Will I be able to get the Katana & Security Helmet after completing my remaining achievements (of the original 49), or do I have to wait again to get the rest of the new set of achievements (in addition to the original 49) in order to get the Katana & Security Helmet (total of 79 achievements)?

And, my other question is:
→ Are you guys working on a patch for said ("Katana & Security Shoulders") Bug, just like the patch you guys made for the Commando Shoulders in the 1.1 update?
(Just asking this question for the people out there that have yet to unlock those items)

Harrow dare, SUPPLIES !

Why does it seem to be, that every time I start up halo 3, Dlc Ffa, 75% of the time we play on Cold Storage. What the hell, That map is intensely unliked and were fforced to always play it.

It starts off as, Slayer on Ghost town, We all voted to skip then we got Slayer Br on Cold storage 6 times in a row.

Thanks for clearing those things up! It will help alot of people.

The update is awesome, but to clarify on the annual achievement, if I don't get it by tonight does that mean I can't do it for another year?

I'm here to ask everyone's opinion ! I have continually having problems with downloading maps and such because of the age someone made my account at. My question is what should I do?
Make a new account when my years up?
See the problem with that is im a first lieutenant, I have all the gold and silver skulls, and I have beaten campaign on all levels....
Could everyone give me some input on my situation?
BTW im always looking for some good clean competition... Send me a friend request

  • 09.25.2008 7:52 PM PDT

Grenades,the first thing to go because they're the last thing you want shot!

I wish I knew man. Also I wonder something. I got the Security helmet and Katana armor thanks to these new achievements (didn't finish the old ones,2 left) so will that reset? Somebody told me it would but I put those two sets on my character last night and it's still there.

Well in a simple way of asking I'm just wandering about the new Ranking System Implimented, Granted I see you have our old ranks and Exp and Exp is still gained but with the True Skill Ranks will our other Rank be boosted IF we Raise OUR True Skill Rank Higher??? OR... Will it just stay the same and, How so does the ranking system work entirely on a game type like Social Slayer, Because I am already a Lieutenant Grade 3 with 71 Exp on there... Is it basically every 10 or 20 EXP we gain a level or so? or what and do we skip certain Ranks IF we win enough games consistantly??? AND 1 Other thing... Ever sense I've been playing the new patch I noticed A LOT OF LAG!!!! And I don't just mean your average game here or there... I mean like the one game I played where I got 15 Shots on some guy on Team Snipers in his Body with the Sniper Rifle and he didn't go doen PERIOD... I think that REALLY needs to be addressed and FIXED like ASAP otherwise people are gonna Whine left and right about it to NO END... Granted I love the new patch and think the idea of the challenge is awesome... I'd like to see more stuff like this from bungie to show more insentive to play the game and showing player it'll all pay off... Bungie has become sort of an ICON as well as HALO for online FPS games and I think what you guys are doing is awesome just the same... But in any case I just thought I'd bring it to your attention about the MAJOR LAG Situation and by the way I have the Clip saved if you or anyone at Bungie would like to See it, I just need to know how to send it to Bungie... And that about sums it up take care and Peace...

Ok, On 9/25/08 me and 3 other friends completed and earned the Vidmaster Challenge: Annual achievment. It was fun and took some time but I heard because its for 0 gamerscore bungie is going to give us a "SPECIAL GIFT" is this True? If so What might this gift be, figuring since I actually took up some of my time to earn a Achievment for 0 gamerscore it seems to me this achievment is not just for bragging rights. So what is suppost to happen since I Earned it expecially the day it was released.

Master Speckel

even though its already after 9/25/08 i did it last night which was 9/25/08 so yes you can do it on hat date

that was the whole point of saying "on or after 9/25/08 you can get the achievement" lol

interesting concept, the Annual, but seems that many people worldwide may not have been able to play for this achievement before the 25th; such as I.

Can you clear up this one? ....Annual can only be achieved before Sept 25th.....

Which would also mean that anytime before Sept 25 of the next year......like today!

Cool idea!
