How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

The good news is that now the Spartan Officer, UNSC Spartan and Graduate achievements are all tied to the new per-playlist rating. So if you have already surpassed those milestones on a global level but never earned them, you can do it again by earning a 50 EXP level in a specific playlist. However, the pin that shows up in your Service Record is still tied to a global rating. So you can unlock the achievements by earning EXP in a playlist but you won’t get the pin unless you satisfy the original global criteria. Whew. Got all that?
So, pretty much just get 50 exp in one playlist?

The Legendary pin now appears on your service record. Just had to update.

Yes. I'd say your best bet is Team Slayer as you have already accumulated 39 EXP, so you only need eleven more!

Hm, you are also experiencing this problem. I'm going to be honest, I don't know of a guaranteed fix. Try earning 5 EXP in each of the primary playlists: Lone Wolves, Team Slayer, Team Objective, Team Doubles, Squad Battle, MLG, Team Swat, Team Snipers, Rumble Pit, Social Slayer, Social Team DLC, Social Skirmish, Multi Team, and Social Big Team.

It may take some time, but it's worth a try.

Best of luck guys = ]

Prompt A,B,C
(A+B+C) -> X
2X -> Y
-Y -> Z
1/(Z+A+B+C) = The World Explodes, simple math.

What about the security helmet, I have 1070 g and 50 achievements, but no security helmet or katana?

You read the thread friend?
Generally, the rule is you need 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore.

However, both of those, especially the security permutation, have a few edge cases where they can unlock early, relock, unlock again, etc.

But in most cases, 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore will get them. If not, get another achievement.

Get the original achievements.

The Spartan Officer achievement requires 50 EXP in a single playlist, not overall. Your best bet would be to try for it in a Double EXP playlist as you only need to win twenty-five matches or a playlist you have already earned the most EXP in.

Keep in mind, that the two armor permutations are glitched and may not unlock even with the proper requirements. Just unlock a few more achievements. If I might make a suggestion, the following are pretty reasonable and not too difficult.

- Orpheus
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the eighth mission.
- Reclaimer
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the final mission.

You've already unlocked the majority of the meta game achievements so you shouldn't have too much trouble.

- Flag Dropped
On a Legendary map, got 2 flag carrier kills during a ranked or social match.
- Road Rage
On a Legendary map, got 5 Warthog chaingun kills during a ranked or social match.
- Defend This
On a Legendary map, got a flag melee kill during a ranked or social match.

The best playlists to try for these are Social Big Team and Social Team DLC. Earning these will give you a total of 55 achievements and a 1190 gamerscore. This may and this may not be enough to unlock the Katana and Security helmet. If it does not, you will have to try for your remaining original achievements: Two for One and Overkill.

Good luck everyone = ]

so for Flag Dropped can you use any thing to kill them or you have to do stuff like shoot them down using br's or something as im trying to get the three up above so i have a chance at the sword and/or security head as thats the last armor i need (not including recon for now)

My Graduate Achievement still did not unlock.

Posted by: Evil Otto
You're better off just looking to the forums for an answer. I don;'t have time to track this down.


I guess Bungie doesn't care about Halo 3's internal problems, only about new content.

it can be done with any weapon. You just need to earn two "killed flag carrier" medals in one match. Good luck = ]

this is very weird. i have kantana and security and i have 1050 G. They should have disapeared by now! Also i havent completed the campain on legendary or gooten the spartan officer achivment! what is wrong with my 360 that it gives me Kantan!I wish i were u players who lose their armor!Darrrn U!
The two armor permutations are glitched meaning they may or may not unlock with the appropriate requirements. As far as the Spartan Officer achievement goes, earn the EXP rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in a single playlist, not overall.

I can't tell you whether or not the Security helmet and the Katana will lock once more, but enjoy them while you still have them = ]

Hm, strange. Try clearing your cache. If you still see no difference, try recovering your profile.

For some reason, when I played with my brother as a guest on Halo an he was picking his armor perms for an elite, he had commando shoulders as available. And when we played local, his profile (he's never had LIVE before) had elite commando shoulders. Is this some sort of glitch?

The elite Commando shoulders were unlocked by default after AU1 was implemented. The original requirement for them was the Killing Frenzy achievement but several players reported them locking and unlocking due to a bug. It's no glitch, don't worry.

The only thing I can say is to delete everything Halo-wise on your HD and redo it. @zzzazzz

Matt-

Hey. I was playing with my cousin on his xbox with my recovered profile. I finally got over 1000 gamerscore to get katana and the security head. But the weirdest thing happened. My cousin got the armour insted of me and he didn't get the acheivments like i did. I was 2 player. Could this have stoped my from getting the armour? I should have the armour. Help me!

  • 01.25.2009 4:33 PM PDT

Wheres Meh Sniper?

Youtube page

if you hav over 1000 gamerscore and no katana/security you may have to do some of the original achievments, and that should re-activate you armour to be unlocked

  • 01.25.2009 6:42 PM PDT

I need help.

This is less Halo related, more Bungie.net related, but includes armor nonetheless.

I always use my armor as my avatar here, but for some reason it has defaulted to Mark VI. My in-game armor is fine - exactly as it should be - but on B.net it shows as the default armor combination.

Any help would be appreciated.
