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

Correctomundo. However, the shoulders are glitched so they have a tendency to unlock and lock even with/without the proper gamerscore. Just enjoy them : )

Nope, you do not have to activate the terminal on Cortana. Make sure you read through each terminal to its entirety. You'll know you have successfully accessed it when: the screen turns red, you are redirected to another message, and then you see "//FRAGMENT ENDS".

And here's a tip. You do not have to access the terminals in order, although in my opinion it makes things a little easier. Also, you can start from a rally point/checkpoint and it can be done on any difficulty.

Happy terminal hunting! ; )

Why did my Kantana and Security helmet disapear? and how can i get them back?

  • 03.01.2009 11:54 AM PDT

Stop. Think. Post.

I can't seem to unlock a number or achievements. For example I can't get my triple kill award or mongoose mowdown and I've done both of them multiple times. Not to mention a ton of others. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

  • 03.01.2009 1:44 PM PDT

Question: I have comleated the too close to the sun acheivment and did NOT repeat did NOT recive my armor for it (im not sure which one it is I think its some of the elite armor) what gives

Get the original 49 achievements.

Are you doing them in Lone Wolves? You can't get them in any playlist but a ranked FFA one. That means Lone Wolves or Legendary Brawl.

Clarification: Since you have your privacy settings on apparently, I can't see. Do you actually have the achievement? Just play the level the Covenant. You spawn with a laser. After you kill the anti air wrath there should be banshees flying in the air. Kill one with the laser.
Now then. For armor... I believe you're thinking of the Scout armor, for Spartans. Contrary to what some people believe, you have to get the mongoose mowdown achievement and not the Too Close to the Sun one to get it.

Your armour may re-lock on you and dont worry your not "hacking" and when or if your armour does re-lock on you, you are just going to have to get the original 49 achievements.

ok so they say the katana can sometimes relock it self and that a new achievment will unlock it? because i have 51 achievments and over 1100 gamerpoints and right after unlocking the vidmaster challenge it dissapeared.

Getting the original 49 achievements will ensure it stays though.

@burritosenior

I managed to get a few other achievements when I first started playing halo 3 in ranked playlists that werent lone wolves. Your telling me that the only way to unlock these achievements is to play in a FFA ranked playlist?

EDIT: I just read a guide on how to get the achievements and what you said about lone wolves was true. Thanks for the response. For anyone else that has trouble unlocking some of these achievements and you think they might be glitched try looking at this link first.

Look at your service record, it says you have 1240 of 1750 points earned.

Anyway, I don't have a problem with any armour, but just recently I noticed that my guest characters can wear the Elite Commando shoulders, even though they were previously unable to.

Because of TU1, the Elite Commando shoulders were unlocked for everyone, even guests, by default due to bug.

To be honest, I really do not know of any guaranteed fixes. Not the best suggestion, but try earning 5 EXP in every current, primary playlist.

Do you have the original 49 achievements? You should get the original 49, not just any 49, to make sure you get the armor permutations.

I hate that playlist. Still pulled through over a year and a half ago when there were only 5 people in there though. Yes, do that.

I didn't know there was a Topic like this..
I had a double kill with a Sp Laser.. I didn't get the Two For One achievement..

Is there a way how I could get it without wasting my HS in Lone Wolves ?
Maybe in Legendary Brawl which is not comming anymore ?

I have over 1000 GS but i dont have the Katana so does that mean i have to get the 49 0riginal achievement cuz i rly dontwant to get a double Splazer kill

  • 03.02.2009 2:08 PM PDT

I respect your opinion, I just think its stupid.

So... Here is my case:
I have about 150 exp overall and my highest skill is 20. So all I have to do it play and win 50 games in one playlist to get the achievement again? (In double exp, 25 games)
