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

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?
Are you positive that you found the IWHBYD skull as well? I don't know of a guaranteed solution, so I would suggest you try one of three things:

- Find all skulls once more
- Recover your profile
- Clear your cache

As far as the Marathon Man achievement goes, make sure you read until the screen turns red and you are transferred to a different log. You'll know you have successfully accessed a terminal when you see the words "//FRAGMENT ENDS".

so, i got my other account (This one) to Sergent rank, but I didn't get the achievement or Mark V helmet.
I know i have it on THIS account, but i need it on the other one for a video i'm working on.
Earn 12 EXP in one playlist to unlock the UNSC Spartan achievement and Mark V helmet.

Hey Forman, for some reason, I am not able to achieve 'Marathon Man. Right now in Halo 3 I have 69/79 achievements unlocked meaning if I unlock Marathon Man, I will have all of the possible achievements to get in Halo untill the release of Halo: ODST (durr).
I thought to myself that Hey, you probably just missed one or didn't access one properly.
So one night when i was staying the night at a friend's, we decided to get the terminals. So off we went, located all 7 terminals and bam. On the screen said,
Player 2: Achievement Unlocked: 40G Marathon Man (my friend)

So yeah, its been a while since I've tried again, so I'll giveit another try. But if you could, please see if there's a problem. Thanks =]

Lots of Love

Adding to the heaps of problems in this thread, I have been having trouble getting Post Mortem. For some reason, the system really doesn't like to reward me "Death from the Grave" medals, especially on Orbital. I have seen my grenades detonate and kill players after I die, but no medals. It even displays like this.

Joe Mama sniped GGN Ursus.
GGN Ursus killed Joe Mama.

But no medal awarded. This is frustrating, as this and Get the Horns are the only ones I can get right now that I still need.

snipe: Just do them again. Make sure you go past the red screen and all. That's all you can do.

I too have had this happen many times. I don't think it's so much a glitch as it is a matter of timing, though I could easily be wrong. I keep thinking to myself it's a matter of how soon the grenade exploded. You haven't been registered dead long enough.

No matter what it is though, that achievement is just a matter of time. It's not a difficult one. Just keep going- you'll get it I'm sure!

This is a very common issue, but all you have to do is get the original 49 achievements and it will unlock your armour, they are very easy to get.

Ok so i have beaten the game many times and retried these missions so many times, but i have not gotten the achievements 4 beating these missions. They are the 4th mission which the achievement is called the assault. and the 8th mission which is called the key achievement. I have tried everything from trying them again on normal,heroic, and legendary and beating them again on both solo and co-op but none of it will work, It even says on that screen thing which shows u what missions u have beaten on what difficulty, that i have even beat them both on solo and co-op on heroic, but i still don't have achievement for either of them.
Please Help...

Two possible solutions, and I've never been sure which one.
Either you didn't beat 'Arrival' on Legendary or you didn't do them all online. Try those.

Here are a few possible solutions:

- Recover your profile
- Clear your cache
- I really would not recommend doing this one, but it could work. From the Xbox 360 Dashboard, go to 'My Xbox', 'System Settings', and then 'Memory'. Go to 'Games' and then find Halo 3. There should be a file with your gamertag as the name and under it you should see 'saved game file'. Delete it. This, I believe, will erase all of your campaign progress and you'll have to complete it once more.

As I said, I'm not entirely sure of the consequences of deleting it and therefore, would recommend you not take that risk and try the other two options. It's up to you.

As I suggested to the user above, try clearing your cache or recovering your profile.

I just finished watching the film. Apparently, you only killed one enemy with the Spartan Laser. The other enemy died from the explosion of the Fusion Coils that your Laser hit. Normally, you'll receive two Laser medals when you score a Two for One; but in this case, you only received one since only one kill was caused directly by the Laser. Sorry dude.

Unfortunately, I don't have any actual solutions, other than to sit back, be patient, and perhaps the helmet will return.

A 1000 gamerscore or higher doesn't necessarily guarantee that your kata and Security helmet will unlock or remain unlocked.

The best you can do is shoot for a few original achievements. Here are some that I would recommend:

- Your remaining meta-game achievements (Cavalier, Askar, Ranger, Vanguard, and Orpheus).

- Spartan Officer - Earn 50 EXP in one playlist.

- Lee R Wilson Memorial - Easily done in Lone Wolves. Go for Plasma and/or Spike grenades and throw for your life! Five sticks is all it takes.

- We're in for some Chop - There a few different ways to go about this one. Here are some.

This will bring you to a total of 49 achievements and a 1100 gamerscore. If this does not unlock the Katana and Security helmet, you'll have to unlock a few more of your remaining original achievements.

Best of luck to all!

Yea i just tried recovering and that didn't work and then i tried that clearing cache thing and that didn't make the assault or the key achievements appear either. and im 2 scared to even try the 3rd suggestion lol. but this is really making me mad because im trying to get over 1000g for katana sword but i can't because of this stupid achievement glitch. Yea but im still kinda confused on what you wanted me to do. Did u want me to try recovering or clearing my cache and then try to beat the missions again or just do the clearing cache thing and the achievement was just supposed 2 just pop-up right after? What was supposed to happen or what was i supposed 2 do? 1 more thing also that i 4got to say in my original post is that i even have the campaign complete achievement 4 heroic and normal, but i still dont have the 4th and 8th mission achievements.
Still need help...
But thanks 4 suggestions anyway.
