You have the original 49 achievements? That's what you need to get them to stay.

Ok, so I have found a fix for my Security Shoulders disappearing, so I thought I would share it with others incase it helps them too.

My Security Shoulders have re-locked twice now, and both times all I had to do it change my helmet to the EOD Helmet, then scroll through my shoulder armor and the Security Shoulders re-appeared. Once the Security Shoulders are put back on, I can then go and change my helmet back to any other one I want (I use the Rouge) and the shoulders will remain as the Security ones.

Hope it helps others. Cheers.

Assuming this is the match, the breakdown begs to differ. Apparently, you only had four kills with the Gravity Hammer.

Sorry dude : (

I got the Orbital, Assembly, and Sandbox (after nearly forever) skulls, why isn't the Brainpan achievement unlocked? Aren't those the only Mythic maps?

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?


I have the same exact problem. Bungie changed the requirements for the Graduate Achievement so that you need 5 EXP in a playlist to unlock it. But I can see that you've done that, and I have more than 5 EXP in a multitude of playlists, but still we are without the achievement. I do not understand why Bungie fixed the Spartan Officer and UNSC Spartan achievements, but did not fix the Graduate Achievement.
i agree, the graduate achievement should be fixed because it is clea we both have more than 5 exp haha

If you mouse over your emblem, you'll see that you had eight kills with plasma grenades, but only had four stick medals. Sorry dude, you'll have to try again : (

Best of luck though ; )

For some reason or another, your achievements are not visible on your service record or your Xbox.com profile.

The achievement required for the Scout shoulders is Mongoose Mowdown. Are you sure you have unlocked it?

  • 03.14.2009 8:26 AM PDT

strength through friendship, love through loyalty.

i think the general rule should be 49 original achievments and 1000gs or 55 of any and 1300+ GS -.-
56 achievments 1350 gs..i keep trying to get 2 for 1 over kill killing frenzy and steppin razor but i just cant >.>
i almost had the over kill but the noob ran behind a box >.<

Not exactly sure when, but i noticed a few days after getting the 7 on the 7th that the katana and security helm were re-locked.

What's the vote for getting them back? 49 original achievies -- or --- redo the xboxlive update? (or something else)..?..

I am meeting all the requirements for the "Graduate" achievement, but I don't have it. Not even the ODST head. Please help me.


I have the same problem. I have more than 5 EXP in a bunch of different playlists but I still do not have the Graduate achievement. I find it funny that Bungie employees do not look at the threads we make about this problem, let alone a pinned topic like this.

I've got way over 1000 gamerscore in Halo 3, but when I got 49 achievements in it the security helmet and katana didn't unlock, so I thought, I'll just get 1 more achievement. But now I have 50 and they're still locked! What can I do???

Try obtaining the original 49 achievements. That should ensure the armor permutations stay unlock and stay unlocked.

  • 03.15.2009 9:12 AM PDT

Okay,

I've got 2 achievements which will not unlock at my account. First of all, there is headshot honcho... I've had lone wolve games in which I had 17, 20, 15 (and so on...) headshots and campaign games in which i've had too many headshots, but still no headshot honcho. Then there is the overkill achievement, I got 2 overkills in lone wolves, and not a single achievement that popped up. The first time I just thought it was a glitch or something, but the second time? Anybody got an idea what I am doing wrong (if it actually is me doing things wrong).

Many thanks

I'm pretty sure Headshot Honcho has to be done with a Sniper Rifle or Beam Rifle, not a Battle Rifle.

Your best bet is to play from mission start on The Ark with the Grunt Birthday Party skull enabled. The skull will make it easier since you'll know when you've gotten a headshot on a Grunt. Just keep picking off enemies with the Sniper, and achievement unlocked!

As far as the Overkill goes, can you provide a link to the game or, even better, a film?

Well I'll go try to get them with the sniper rifle then, but I am pretty sure that I got the achievement with my BR on my other account.

And about the overkills, it was quite some games ago, didn't really care about it cause I didn't think I would continue on this account, i'll try to find the games in my game list, if they're still there, or i'll just get another overkill and then show it. Shouldn't be that hard.
