Subject: FAQ: Missing an Achievement, Armor, or Other Unlockable Item? Read ...

Im a bit confused. Well me and my friend have been playing a lot of halo this weekend. So I got up to 880 gamerscore for halo 3. Me and my friend went to the level were the IWHBYD skull is, and got the "to close to the sun" achievement so that he could get his last 5 gamerscore for the katana. Then we both went to our armor perms, and I had the security shoulders, and a katana?!?!? He however did not have either, and it seems that my armor (security+katana) will unequip themselves DURING the game? Are Bungie EVER going to fix this?

My friend has 1000 gamerscore for halo, and neither of the perms, and i have 880, 41 achievements, and both, sometimes.

To get Lee R. Wilson..... Always switch to your stickies as you run around and instead of melee'ing them chuck a plasma grenade.
It works about 90% of the time

i didnt know where else to put this, but yeh. in a game of multi flag squad battle on valhalla i went 36-0. unfortunately i did not receive the invincible medal, instead i got 2 running riots. im assuming this was due to the host being booted for a betrayal (lol it happened to be in the middle), is there anyway this can be rectified? i have the video saved if u need extra proof, but it is in my recent games played (2 most recent right now)
thanks for any help

All you have got to do is get the original 49 achievements, they are easy and fast to do.

  • 03.08.2009 8:17 AM PDT

you have to have the original achievments. one more thing, my brother has the spartan officer pin and is a lieutenant rank(global) and he still doesnt have the original achievment (spartan officer) achievment that coincides with it. he also hasnt gotten the marathon man achievment but he found all the terminals. can anyone help me?

That is answered in the first post of this thread.

When you go to a terminal, read all the text. After a few seconds, the screen will turn red and start making loud noises. Common mistake is people leave right there. No, don't do that. You want to stay in the red screen, because after a few seconds, the red screen will disappear and new text will appear. Read through all the text that appears after the red is gone (screen will be blue again) and it will count.

I completed legendary campaign on solo because my internet was messed up and now on my service record it says I've only completed it on normal but i even have the achievement for legendary. I also had some armor for completing it all on legendary but it disappeared. If this problem does not get sorted out I will be forced to call security and you will be let out by them and it will be really really embarrassing.

Two possible solutions that I know of. Not sure which one it is still.

A. You might not have beaten it all online. You said your internet was messed up? I think you have to be connected to Xbox Live for it to give it to you.
B. Arrival. Did you complete Arrival on Legendary? Do that.

Are you referring to Katana/ Security armor? If so, that's addressed in the first post of this thread.

I happen to be a Corporal now, and it says in my service record that I have the Graduate pin, but I don't have the achievement or the ODST helmet. What the hell?

You will have to get that amount of exp in a playlist, not your total exp.

One of the ways to get it is to "Complete basic training." I finished Basic Training. That should've gotten me the Achievement.

  • 03.08.2009 3:54 PM PDT

More than just a guy with a sniper...

i still havent gotten the graduate achievement, and i have 50+ experience in Team Objective after the new ranking system came out. what can i do now?

All my hyabusa gear relocked, even though I've had all the skulls for over a year...

How do I re unlock them?

Sorry mate, but if the host bails, everything resets, and unfortunetly it can't be changed. I've lost a few perfections from that happening *sad face*

my rouge head is locked for some reason even though im a captain... im guessing i have to a lieutenant in one of the playlists (for the spartan officer achievement, not lightswitch.)

Bring the Fight to, em, Let them taste defeat at our hands....

Whoa!

What in the world is that?

That does it I'm outta here!

Does this include the MYTHIC MAPS because on ASSEMBLY I killed over 5 people with the HAMMER and the ACHIEVEMENT didn't unlock for me?

I was playing the NETURAL BOMB, and I started with ONE kill with the HAMMER, then I died, respawed and went to pick up the HAMMER again, I walked over to the base where the BOMB had been planted and there where THREE people camping around it, I got a DOUBLE then a TRIPLE kill just as the BOMB EXPLODED infront of me, but there was no sign of my ACHIEVEMENT, thinking that I had miss counted I went on to kill to more people but still nothing. When I finished the game I looked on the CARNAGE REPORT and it showed that I had killed 7 people with the HAMMER as mt TOOL OF DESTRUCTION.

I know there's nothing anyone can do to get it back I'd just thought I'd bring it to the attention of other people.

Hey, I just unlocked my katana a few days ago when I played the mythic map pack and unlocked the new Killjoy achievement which put me over 1000 gamerscore. But today I played the mythic map pack again and unlocked the skull achievements which put me to 1085 gamerscore and now my katana is missing. Will I ever get it back ? Please reply and tell me if I will automaically gain it back. Thanks for reading.

  • 03.09.2009 5:07 PM PDT

My brothers have been playing the campaign for a long time.they have gotten all skulls and they have recently gotten the marathon man acheivement. but the past few months ,their hayabusa armor is relocking and the skulls dissapear from the campaign list. also a short while after unlocking marathon man their security helmets relocked. when this happened to them it did not happen to me. the only difference is that i have Xbox live and they dont. i looked at the first post but it didnt say anything about relocking security HELMET and skulls.can you help me out?

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

I have over 1000 gamerscore and 41 achievements for Halo 3 including Mythic achievements. I don't have the Katana yet I have over 1000 gamerscore. Why is this so? Do I need the 49 original achievements AND 1000 gamerscore or above or 49 original achievements OR 1000 gamerscore and above. And do the achievements have to be the original.
