I'm one raging panda

If anyone could help me out with this it would mean a lot.

One day my entire campaign data, along with skulls and armor sets, was erased. I still have all the achievements and gamerpoints from beating the game on Legendary, etc, but I have no skulls or the little badge on my character's littile profile. Is there a way to fix this or who do I contact? The best I could find was Xbox live support, but they have yet to reply. Thank you!

The skulls on Longshore, Heretic, and Citadel count towards the Brainpan achievement as well. Those maps are not yet out, but will be released with Halo 3: ODST.

Wierd, it may be a glitch. For how long have it been like this? Are you sure it wasn't another profile in the lobby that haven't played Halo 3 yet?

I have a question, sir. Me and my friends were on Legendary, and we acsessed the Terminals, all the ones we required. Unfortunately, there was no achievement earned. May you help, please?

You waited for the terminal to go red? If so, that's fine and dandy. But there's more to the terminal you know. You wait about 5-10 seconds after the screen goes red, and the red screen will disappear. Then the terminal will freak out on you, and new text will appear. You read through the new text and the terminal will count for you.

And no sir, you do not need to touch the Cortana one. Maybe you meet some superstitious people, but I can tell you the Cortana terminal has nothing to do with the achievement.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

you haven't found all the mythic skulls because all the mythic maps are not out yet only the first three are available through halo wars, there are three more to be released yet.

edit: nvm i didn't see someone already answered you

Thank you sir, but what you said is exactly what I did. I never found the one on Cortana. Yes, I accesed the Terminals without skipping Cortana. My friend with me already had the achievement. That may be the problem.

It's very unlikely that's the cause. I unlocked the achievement before my friends and I helped each of them unlock it as well with no problems.

Are you positive that you see the words "//FRAGMENT ENDS"? That will guarantee that you have successfully accessed the terminal.

Yes, I did. Glitches just hate me, I guess.

I can't view the film, but are you positive every enemy was dead together for at least one split second? Scoring an Overkill in a team game doesn't necessarily mean you'll receive an Extermination as well.

I'm pretty sure it has to be done with a Sniper Rifle or Beam Rifle. My suggestion would be to play The Ark from the beginning with the Grunt Birthday Party Skull activated. The skull will help to know when you've gotten a headshot on a Grunt. Just headhsot ten enemies and... achievement unlocked!

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

Your best bet in order to unlock the Katana is to obtain all 49 original achievements. If not all, at least unlock the ones you know you can earn. I would suggest shooting for these:

Ranger
Earn over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the sixth mission.

Orpheus
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the eighth mission.

Too Close to the Sun
Destroy a banshee with the spartan laser or missile pod in a ranked playlist or in campaign. - This achievement can easily be done on "The Covenant" since your primary weapon is a Spartan Laser. Once you reach the beach end, you should see Banshees flying around. Laser one and achievement unlocked!

Marathon Man
Access all Terminals in the Campaign. - Simple enough. You can play on any difficulty and you can start from a checkpoint or rallypoint that is near the terminal's location. If you get stuck finding one, here is a guide.

Best of luck ; )

"Now they need to remove crouch jumping and the points system. Then their campaign towards musical-chairs-with-more-seats-than-people will be in full force."

# Big T Mac10

The achievement were you have to go around finding all the terminals just won't unlock for me :[
I have gone for campaign multiply times getting every single terminal (Thanks Youtube) and i found all 8................. including the one that does nothing <3

So i was just wondering why it is that i can't seem to unlock this achievement? I am really wanting to unlock it because I reckon right now it's the only achievement that isn't possible.
Can anyone help me?

EDIT: Yes i waited for all the red text and stuff. Cause after my 4-5 time of campaign I REALLY wanted to get it!

im pretty sure i got them all within a second they were all there and i got all of them with a head shot

You can't just wait for it to go red. After about 10 seconds of red screen, the red screen will disappear. New text will appear. You need to read through all the new text for it to count.

I was on Team Mythic trying to get Hammer Time achievement. I picked up a gravity hammer, and over the course of the game got six kills. However, i never got Hammer Time. I was on assembly, and I even went in theater and recorded the kills. Am I doing something wrong or is it just not working?

I got a good 7-8 kills before I got the achievement, or so I think. My guess is just that we just thought we got a kill, but it really was taken by somebody else. A nearby explosion or a BR shot perhaps.
Could just be an issue with it though, since I do think I had a bit of a problem with it. But meh.
