I don't mean to contradict this whole thread

Don't worry, you contradict nothing. That's becuase what people have been saying in this thread many times is you need the original achievements to make them stick.
Original Achievements you don't have:
Overkill
We're in for some Chop
Mongoose Mowdown
Exterminator
Ranger
Reclaimer.

Get those.

Try getting some of the 49 original achievements, and that should give you the helmet.

I had just played a game of Lone wolves trying to get the achievement for Steppin' Razor and i was finally able to get a triple kill with the sword but no achievement came up for it. I filmed it and added it to my fileshare if it means anything. Is there anyway to get it unlocked or am I gonna have to just do it again?

It is a great community for the hardcore gamer.
Tell them Mongerty sent you

What sucks is that all of these people with katana/ Security problems have the answer right in front of them, but us with a glitched graduate achievement can't do anything.

Yet, those with a problem are too lazy to read this thread, and just post what has already been answered.

But what happens in this scenario? I achieved "We're In For Some Chop" and the scout shoulders didn't unlock. How can I get them? Because you can only unlock an achievement once.

  • 02.25.2009 2:24 PM PDT

never mind i just got it, and my first killtrocity with it! woo hoo!

  • 02.25.2009 4:00 PM PDT

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

The achievement required for the Scout shoulders is "Mongoose Mowdown", not "We're in for some Chop". Sorry : (

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Yeah, Im a spartan officer, and I dont have my achievment or my armor. I dont get what you said, so can you help me get it?

QFT.

There is probably some way to fix the Graduate Achievement. I don't understand how Bungie changed the coding/requirements for UNSC and Officer achievements and didn't do so for the Graduate Achievement.

If those who don't have the Graduate Achievement didn't get it because they didn't play Basic Training, then Bungie should just make Basic Training a playlist for everyone, so that the players without the achievement can get it by playing Basic Training. I have heard however, myself included, that people who have played Basic Training 10 times or got 5 EXP in it still did not get the achievement.

So whatever the problem is, Bungie should get it straightened out ASAP.

Thanks for that info. The Prima Official guide for HALO 3 has We're in for some Chop listed as the achievement to get the Scout Shoulders.

chea

cant really say im here to complain about achievements but iwill sat im comfused.
see i have these two achievements, buttt it seems you (halo3) accidentally gave them to me lol.

Vidmaster Challenge: Annual
After 9/25/08, completed Halo on 4-player Legendary LIVE co-op, with Iron, and everyone in Ghosts.
Date Earned: Earned Offline

Vidmaster Challenge: 7 on 7
Entered into a ranked or social playlist with 7 EXP on the 7th of the month.
Date Earned: Wednesday, October 08, 2008

both times iwas attempting the achievements, the annual one i had friends over and weak connection most of us got it, one didnt. oddly...
and the 7 on 7 i completed at like 12:01.
sooo yeah

  • 02.25.2009 9:02 PM PDT

developed: Did you guys skip the cutscene? That happened to my friend with the vidmaster a few times. We had to watch the whole cutscene. He went through the Annual achievement four times.

  • 02.26.2009 4:37 AM PDT

I have the achievments for beating the game on ledgendary, heroic, normal, ect... and the armor rewarded for said acts. but it says i dont have the achievment for the 8th level. Help?

  • 02.26.2009 9:32 AM PDT

taH pagh, taH beh?

Ok, it may just be that I'm half stupid, but I dont believe I saw the answer to my question, which is this. I have one thousand gamer score, one thousand fifteen to be precise, but I still haven't unlocked the security helmet. Do I need the original 49 achievements, or should any combination unlock it?

  • 02.26.2009 9:39 AM PDT

If the katana is overated then i am proud to be overated :D

im missing recon......lol joke um well this really is bugging me but iv got all the possible halo 3 achievements and well from time to time my armor keeps changing back to original halo 3 armor until i turn off my console....is it lag or a bug?

Do you mean during games? That's not something Bungie can really change to my knowledge. That's your game failing to load the armor permutation. It goes away though.

If the katana is overated then i am proud to be overated :D

it happens when i look at my service record too....it wont go away till i turn off my console
