Also, you're not empathizing with animals. You're being judgmental and snooty. you're just using this as an excuse to prove to the world how great and noble you are. This is an ego trip, that only you and those who are on the same type of ego trip could justify and applaud. You take narcissism and turn it into an art form.

I have H2 vista and I completed it on normal but didn't get the achievement?
Help?

Sometimes, you'll get disconnected from LIVE, and when you do, it doesn't count the gameplay that is done until you reconnect again. If you do reconnect, you gotta go through the part of the campaign that you did while you were disconnected, in order for it to be recorded as "done".

This problem actually happened to me on Gears of War (PC). So I went through the entire game again, and at the end of the third level, I unlocked the achievement saying I beat the game on "Legendary" (called Insane in GoW). So that probably means that somewhere between the beginning of the game and the end of the third level, I disconnected and it didn't record some gameplay as being "done".

Try and make sure you have a solid connection. Check Microsoft's Knowledge Database on improving connectivity, and make sure you open the specified ports in your firewall/modem/router. Also, don't run additional applications that require a connection, with the exception of important things like antiviruses and antispyware.

If you connect wirelessly to a router, make sure you have "excellent" as your signal strength at all times. If you don't, try moving the location of the router or your gaming location, and make sure you don't play near appliances such as phones that operate on the same frequency as your router.

Maintenance your computer often; scan for viruses and spyware, clean out your internet cache, delete temporary files, and repair your registry.

That's all I can think of right now, so do a thorough lookover of the article that Microsoft provides in their Knowledge Database.


P.S. If you complete the game on Hard, it will unlock both the 'Completed on Hard' and 'Completed on Normal' achievements at the same time. And completing the game on Legendary will unlock Legendary, Hard, and Normal at the same time, though I'd recommend finishing it on Hard first.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Awesome answer, Relgera.

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

If you haven't got the achievement yet make sure you watch the whole credits. I exited just as the credits started and i didn't get the achievement, watch the whole thing up to the clip at the end.
