I have another question concerning armor, sometimes when im in matchmaking and check my service record, the pic. of my spartan is the default spartan. Then when im in the match, its just the default spartan, but when i check what armor i have on it says that all of the stuff on it like security and katana. Should i be worried about this?

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

Nope, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Happens to me occasionally as well. I can't remember the exact cause, but I believe it's due to loading issues and/or connection issues.

Some time ago i got a triple kill with the sword in Lone Wolves on Construct. Three guys came from the purple lift and i was recieving them with the sword, got a triple and i was like HAMG cause that was almost the only achievement i had left. Then i just waited and waited and it never showed up :(. I don´t realy care anymore cause it was on my first account but it still wasn´t fun...

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.


Evidently it does not apply. I have 5 EXP in many different playlists but STILL lack the Graduate achievement and ODST helmet.

So, I made a 2nd account that I am putting armor on for a video I'm making. For some reason, when I reached Sergent (Not just in one playlist), I didn't get Mark V helmet or the achievement. Any explanation or solution to this?

I am missing the Hayabusa Helmet, but have the Katana. I am missing only one original achievement, the Meta-Game achievement for the level "Cortana". What's going on here?

Check your GLOBAL RANK, not playlist ranks. You can have multiple sergeants, but not globally.

I know that, I said it wasn't a playlist rank.

The hayabusa gets unlocked when you get all the skulls. Not achievements.

I am trying to get the meta-game achievements, and I am playing mission 5, Storm Front. I tried yesterday with most of the skulls on on normal, with team scoring on, on local Xbox, and earned about 24,000 points. I tried again tonight with two differences. I changed it to team scoring and too of catch. I actually earned 33,000 points or so tonight., And I still haven't gotten the achievement. What gives? Do I have to play the campaing from the beginning in one playthru to get the meta-game achievements?

Your best bet is to play on free-for-all scoring. In team scoring, if you play with another person, only your individual score will count towards the particular meta game, not you and your partner's combined score.

This is a strange glitch that happens from time to time. I believe the reason why your service record shows that you have not completed campaign is because you did so offline. Try finishing the last checkpoint of the 'Halo' on the difficulty you had originally completed it; but this time, make sure you are connected to Xbox live.

Blam!,
Said the lady

can anyone help me on this, i earned my security shoulders a while ago and i really like em as my picture shows but now my shoulders have disappeared i cant put em on anymore and the only 2 things changed between then and now are

I also quote a marine: "Hey Chief, do you have a pair of socks I can borrow?" ; )

As far as your Security shoulders go, the best and most effective way to get them back is to simply unlock more achievements. I would suggest you finish up the remaining skulls you have not yet found (Tough Luck, Catch, Fog, and Tilt), and then shoot for a few multiplayer achievements.

Best of luck!

Now I have been playing for a few weeks when i reached the rank of private. I was hoping I would get the ODST helemt with it. Unfortunatly for me I did not, I have the pin and have completed everything except the 50EXP in a single play list. I am really needing the ODST hemet since my EVA helmet looks horrible but if you can help me out send a message to

xXoNeLasTsHelXx (i know its just 1 month free trial lol)


Please help me and fix this glitch.

  • 03.24.2009 2:20 PM PDT

I unlocked all the skulls in campaign, (even looked them all up and compared them to a list to make sure I had them all) but for some reason, I never got the Hayabusa helmet, while I did get the shoulder and body. Also, I've looked up all terminal locations, found them, and yet still I have not received the "Marathon Man" Achievement. Should I refind all the skulls and terminals? Because one reason this may have happened is I quit the mission after I got the skull achievement, but that shouldn't affect it right? Because I still says in my achievements that I have it, and my campaign options I have all the skulls. What happened? Can someone suggest something to do?

  • 03.24.2009 2:58 PM PDT

I'm pretty sure If you set all your armor to default (when it's bugging out like that), press 'b', then put it back to katana and all that, it should work.

Fight to the Last

And if you can't get the all the original 49 acheviements...What then. I can't get the original ones because it's just to hard. Bungie...Why are most for the RANKED PLAYLIST!?!?! Why not any playlist?

  • 03.24.2009 3:40 PM PDT

Nice thread, I'm sure alot of people will need help. All of the Katana/Marathon Helmet glitches happened to me. I eventually got it and it stayed with me after I got all of the Achievements.

I've been waiting for the graduate achievement to unlock, it never has, just gave me the damn pin and no achievement/ODST helmet.

Will this ever be fixed?
