The Achievement Marathon Man Refuses to unlock for me when i have been through the last 4 missions of the campaign about 7 times in the last couple of weeks and activated each terminal including the one on cortana and still the achievement wont unlock

whats going on


I have had the same problem. I'm not sure I ever even figured it out...


when you get to the terminals you must read them until you reach the security breach ( the screen will go red).

^^^
And after the screen goes red, make sure you read til the red screen goes away and the new text appears.

Nice post.
Meh the Katana and Security helmet hate me.
I unlocked them about 4ish times now. I can use them for one game until they lock again.
Only have a few achievements left to unlock I suppose.

I recently got all 49 original achievements (overkill was the last one) and also have 2 vidmaster achievements but the Security helmet and Katana armor remain locked.

I'm working towards the third vidmaster achievement (the 50 EXP one). Will getting that fix the problem? I don't currently have the Legendary map pack to go for those achievements.

Thanks.

It may and it may not. Others have experienced this same problem and my advice was to unlock a handful of the new achievements such as Double Double, Road Rage, Flag Dropped, and Defend this. They went through with it and bam! The Security the helmet and Katana unlocked for them. I recommend you purchase the Legendary Map pack. More and more playlists are requiring it and there are no plans to make it free.

Make sure you do it in a ranked free-for-all playlist, namely Lone Wolves or Legendary Brawl.

It goes by the per playlist ratings. For example, you have 103 exp. in Social Slayer.
You need to get to 7 in one of the playlists you don't have over 7 exp on.

Mmm. Did you do it online co-op? I don't see it in your game history. I don't believe it can be done all on one xbox locally. Not sure about system link either.

Did you have 6 exp. and you got to 7 exp., or did you have 7 when you went in? March 7th try doing the one you didn't do perhaps?

The the first post in this thread, on page one, by Foman. It answers all those questions.

  • 02.15.2009 10:56 AM PDT

Yet again..

The first post does not explain what you should do if you already have all 49 original achievements and the security/katana have still locked up.

so?

Well I can't honestly say I know this one. If I may offer some advice though...
Get more Achievements. The glitch is supposed to take them away and give you them back with each achievement if you don't have the originals. I checked and yeah, you have all the originals...
Therefore I'm thinking that if you unlock more new achievements you'd get them. It's not so bad friend. Think about it like this: You've already got the 2 for 1. None of the Legendary Map achievements are anywhere near as difficult.

  • 02.15.2009 12:07 PM PDT

yeah but i cant get the legendary ones, because in all honesty i cant afford to be spending money on ms points to buy it... =[

  • 02.15.2009 12:58 PM PDT

Ah, I see your problem then.
Will you be getting Halo 3: ODST? They'll be coming with that!
Then if you get Halo Wars or something, you can get those achievements.

  • 02.15.2009 4:14 PM PDT

Do or Die it's your choice

when i play my katana doesn't appear however when i sign in a second player it appears but as soon as i change one peace of armor it disappears can u help me with this problem i am having:I have 51 achievements so i met the requirements

  • 02.15.2009 4:14 PM PDT

From What i know...You Need to have the Mythic Map Collection or the Mythic Map Pack...Which is ONly Half of the achivements now....the other achivements will be unlockable durning HALO 3 ODST

The achievement required to unlock the Scout shoulders is Mongoose Mowdown. Are you positive you have unlocked that achievement?

  • 02.16.2009 10:47 AM PDT

ok, so the other day i got up to 39 outta 79 achievements, but that added up was really 37 OG's and i had one vidmaster(lightswitch) and double double, both DLC, giving me a total of 39. Now, ive read the first post and thought it could pertain to me, but it doesnt. I just recently got three more achievements since this, all legendary (except for not so fast buddy) achievements, and i still have shoulders.

Now to get it straight, im not complaining that i unlocked them early, they're my favorite permutation ever. But i just wanted to let you guys (bungie staff) that the ledgendary achievements for-some-reason work to unlock the security armor and the katana.


for another example other than me, here is a friend of mine who it also happened to.
