So, when will a patch be released to fix this? I have over 1020 on Halo 3 now, no sign of MY katana or MY security helmet. I want to use the helmet, which I have rightfully earned, yet has been withheld from me.
Perhaps never. Bungie stated in a recent update that there are no plans for another Title Update.

That was the pre-TU2 requirement.

You now only need to get 50EXP in any singular playlist. For example. If you can get to 50EXP in Living Dead, you will have the achievement. 50EXP in Lone Wolves, you'll have it, etc...

It's all written in the OP. You don't get the achievements by global rankings any more. They're unlocked via certain playlist-specific criteria.

Ex.

Spartan Officer - 50EXP in a single playlist.

The best you can do is unlock more achievements. I would suggest you finish up your remaining meta game achievements:

Guerilla
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the first mission.
Demon
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the second mission.
Cavalier
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the third mission.
Askar
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fourth mission.
Exterminator
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fifth mission.
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.

Don't worry man, just earn a handful of the new achievements. As I mentioned on the previous page, these are probably the least difficult in my opinion:

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.
Double Double
On a Legendary map, got two Double Kills during a ranked or social match.

Your best bet is to to play Social Big Team or Social Team DLC as there is a much higher chance of a Legendary map appearing. If Capture the Flag appears, you may even be able to earn all of these in one match.

Best of luck guys. = ]

Halo RULEZ!!!!!!

not true. due to the new achivements you will see more people with katana and security armours this is because u just only need 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore in h3. i havent got the origanal achivemets (missing two for one and overkill) but i still have the katana and security armours

To unlock the Spartan Officer achievement, you need an EXP rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in one playlist, not your global or overall rank. Your best bet is to try for it in a Double EXP playlist, as you will only need to win twenty-five matches. The upcoming Double EXP playlists for February are as follows:

2/5 - 2/9: Grifball

2/12 - 2/16: Valentines Day Masscare

2/19 - 2/23: Team Flag

2/26 - 3/2: Team Melee

It has to be done in a ranked playlist or in campaign. Your best bet would be to play Squad Battle and focus on earning the achievement or play Tsavo Highway and kill one of the Brute Choppers with a trip mine. Start from Rally Point Alpha and continue through the cave. You should come across two Brutes standing around. Kill them and next to them is trip mine. Weaken one of the Choppers, and right as it is coming at you throw down the trip mine and...

... achievement unlocked!

OK i have got 1095 gamer score and 49 achievements i just got about 7-8 acheivements in 2 hours, yet my security Armour and katana is not unlocking, i have the security shoulders.

i have also tried the following fixes all of them being unsuccessful:

- getting a new achievement

- clearing my cache

-recovering my account on another xbox with a different halo 3 disk

-and uninstalling it off the 360's hard drive and using just the disk


any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to unlock the original 49 achievements, not just 49 random achievements in order to gain the Security helmet and the Katana armor permutations.

You are still missing:

Maybe Next Time Buddy
Boarded the same vehicle within 10 seconds after being boarded in any free for all playlist.

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

Overkill
Killed 4 enemies within 4 seconds of one another in a ranked free for all playlist.

Steppin' Razor
Scored a Triple Kill with the sword in a ranked free for all playlist.

Two for One
Scored a Double Kill with a single spartan laser shot in a ranked free for all playlist.

Hi,
I just got the rank of Sergeant last night, but the achievement didn't show up on my screen: something lagged at that moment; I also didn't get the Mark V helmet. Why is that? And, will I get it at my next rank?
