Hello, I was playing halo early today getting achievements to get Security helment and the Katana attachment. Once I got 1000 gs and 49 achievements I had both, but for some weird reason, once I got another achievement, my katana and security helmet relocked itself. If anybody can help me, message me. Thanks, :)

Look at my previous post, that should help like it did to me and my friends.

I will message you as well incase you don't check here...

Also look in my message at the bottom of page 2.Posted by: Joneli87
Yeah... The same happens to me! Though mine switches on and off even when I play! I can walk around (and shooting stuff) when it suddently dissapears (I had a friend watching my back) aand then it comes back!
It's really annoying, especially when I was about to show my friends my new katana it dissapeared :O :@
I have 50 archievments and 1175G
I think that should be enough...

Please Bungie, fix this bug! Make it so it stays where it is when you have 1000G

I never thought something like that could affect it

Well you turned it off whilst it was retrieving the information so i guess that could've "damaged" the files maybe, i really don't know.

When you pick up skulls do they come back or do they still disappear from the menu?

I don't know what else you could do about the skulls, just re-get them i would say.

Not sure about the legendary symbol on your service record, i have seen you have done it, i checked your achievements.

If you haven't already done this since it happened, complete a mission and see if it says Enlisted for Duty on your service record.

My friend was wondering why his Spartan Officer Achievement didn't unlock. I just e-mailed him a link to this thread.

Thanks Froman :)

Don't worry about that, it will happen to everyone at some point in some of their games.

It has to be done in a ranked free for all playlist (Lone Wolves or Legendary Brawl).

Uh I'm a bit of a noob, what's an "Achronos"?

Nintenman7: Apply yourself... Seggi31: HHHHNNNNNNGGGGG

Here we go! Finally a thread for all those poor people. I have another one to add. My friend got all the skulls in campaign. I played with him for quite some time to do it. I showed him the locations of them all, we were playing on normal, we got them together. His Spartan didn't receive the Hayabusa! So I told him to restart his console and try again. He did, and again, he didn't have it. He said he had already gotten all the skulls and it didn't help him. I looked at his achievements and he had them all for about five months, never unlocking the Hayabusa armor. Any hints for my friend?

what about the glitch where my armor changes randomly back to mark VI for a game?

This is simply lag. The game lags, so, to save some space, the data from your armor variant choices isn't transmitted. This means that all spartans will go back to Mark VI and all Elites will go back to their standard (Combat I think it's called?) etc etc etc... There have been certain weird times when only I, or certain people, or only my team change back to Mark VI/Combat for the game. Recon seems to be immune to this. (Every game I've played with a person with recon, just about everyone else no longer has their armor, but the recon guy seems to always have it... Same with the flaming body, I've noticed. You will see that there are certain levels of lag: first, armor goes, then waypoints, then scores, then objects around the map, then player data (the actual gameplay)

I've gotten my armor back during gameplay, before. First, my armor was lagged out, then the host quit, and I had my scout again!

ok, i read this post this morning and though that it was really helpful. I didnt have any problems at the time but i was getting off of my 360 this afternoon and i thought for -blam!-s and giggles id check and make sure i had all the achievements i knew i got. OMG! I dont think i got any of the achievements i earned whilst online (EX: Triple kill, 5 sticks in one round, etc...). WTF?!?! I've already made sure that my stats on bungie.net corresponded with my knowledge of these elusive achievements, like whether or not it was on ranked and such. Please if anyone has any answers id be very grateful to here them. THANK YOU!!!!!

These forums have the worst staff ever. I've me hundreds of staff on large sites and been one myself dozens of times. And never can I say that I've ever met any other staff members this rude and ignorant.

I got my armor with 42 achievements. The last 3 I earned were newer ones.

I also have something strange going on. I have to un-earned helmets. o___0 I know what one is. (That strange, blocky one), but the other one is a mystery.

If that happens, change your look sensitivity while you're playing, and the next time you respawn you'll have the correct armor.

As of TU2, you need to earn an EXP rank of Sergeant (12 EXP) in an individual playlist to unlock both the UNSC Spartan achievement and the Mark V helmet. Currently, you have six EXP in Rumble Pit and Social Slayer, so you only need six more = ]

Yeah i have the spartan officer pic in my service record but no achievment. What gives? Isn't that what gives you Rouge? I read what it said but didn't understnd...
From the OP:

Posted by: SketchFactor
The Spartan Officer Achievement used to require a GLOBAL ranking of Lieutenant (not to be confused with the new “Lightswitch” achievement which is earned by obtaining a rating of Lieutenant in a single playlist). We are aware of some problems with people disconnecting/powering down too soon after they finished the game that earns them the achievement. The problem is that the actual results of the game and awarding of the EXP happens on the back-end and is arbitrated by the LIVE service. If you disconnect before that completes, you won’t actually get credit.

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?
In short, to unlock the Spartan Officer achievement and Rogue helmet you need to obtain an EXP rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in an individual playlist, not overall. Already, you've earned 36 EXP in Lone Wolves, so only 14 EXP points remaining = ]

Can you provide a link to his service record? That will help come up with a solution.

I don't remember his gamertag at the moment, so I would need to look through the last 200 players I was with and the last one I was in a campaign lobby and played a few games of swat with would be the one...

EDIT: I believe the name was FOX Gravedigger
