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

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.
Burrito hit the nail on the head!

Here are the post game stats. If you take a look at the breakdown, you'll see you only had four kills with the Gravity Hammer. You also had three kills by the Guardians which probably, like Burrito said, were caused by explosions.

I was wondering how you knew his weapon kills if they weren't his ToD. I winged it and found out.

When AU1 was released, the Commando shoulders were unlocked by default for everyone due to a bug. That's probably the reason he still has them. As for solutions, try clearing your cache or recovering his profile.

You need to earn 50 EXP in one playlist, not overall. Since 3 Ball is up this week you may consider trying for the achievement in that as you will only need to win twenty-five matches.

Otherwise, I would suggest playing Team Mythic since you already have 14 EXP and need 36 more. Good luck ; )

What about my graduate achievement. It is the only one I don't have. (excluding the Heretic, Citadel and Longshore ones) I am way past the requirements. I am a general grade 3 and apparently I still have not won 5 games or played 10. What can I do?
PM me back plz

Edit: No ODST helmet for me ever?

My katana and security head always vanish however I have found that if I change my shoulders to security and then back again they all unlock themselves. I don't know if this will work for other people but it is worth trying for anyone who loses their armor. It has worked for me the past few times and I only have 755 Gamerscore in Halo 3.

Others have had this problem as well. The only advice I can offer is to try unlocking it again using a different approach. Here are some alternate methods. Best of luck man ; )

I just want to make sure, I have the katana now-when I have only 690 gamerscore for Halo 3-, it won't get me banned for wearing it, will it?

Hi. I've got 20 EXP and have not got the UNSC Spartan achievement or the Mark V Helmet which should come with it!!! Please, I need help quick. I 'am obsessed with getting achievements, and since I'm so near getting a 1000 gamer score on Halo3 it is annoying me.

No you won't get banned, don't worry.

I'm not positive, but I think (and there's a good chance I could be mistaken as I don't know this for sure) you might need 10 exp. in one playlist. Try winning one more game of Team Mythic. If that doesn't work, sorry- I dunno.

Killing Frenzy isn't a requirement for any armor permutation.

Twelve EXP in one playlist ; )

  • 03.22.2009 10:44 AM PDT

Twelve. I was close. So he needs three more exp. in the Mythic Playlist.
The more you know...

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

I got my Katana & Security at 700 or so gamerscore points. Explanation? Is this just a part of the shenanigans?

That's just a glitch. It happens, unfortunately. That's partly what this thread is about anywho- the katana/ security armor permutations appearing early or disappearing. It's fairly common now.

I have a quick question


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.


Does this also apply to Graduate? Meaning I need the 5 EXP in a given playlist to get the helmet? Because I do have the Private rank overall and completed the requirements for basic training, but I lack the Graduate achievement and ODST helmet.

Thanks in advance.
