The Cortana one doesn't count.

Now, when you went to the terminals, did you read through all the test? If you did that, did you wait for the red screen to appear? If you did that, did you stay in the terminal, not exiting, and wait for the red screen to disappear? If you did that, did you wait for new pages of text to appear? If you did that, did you read through all the new text?

Try those if you haven't. If you think you have done those, you probably just exited too early from one, sir.

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

Also, a guaranteed way to know you have successfully accessed a terminal is when you see the words "// FRAGMENT ENDS".

Here's my problem: I didn't get an Overkill+Achievement when I killed four people during the correct amount of time. You can check my file share, but I will post the stats here, but first let me say that no, I am not an "achievement farmer" I just really like the Elite helmet unlocked by it.

The Kills:
First Kill: 4:25
Second Kill: 4:23
Third Kill: 4:21
Fourth Kill: 4:19

As you can see, every kill is within seconds of another kill. For those of you that say all four kills have to be within the same four seconds, well I've tested it and you don't (my bro got Killtrocity in LW, which is impossible to do in the same four seconds).

Is there any way that Bungie can just give me the Overkill? If they can erase peoples stats/EXP then surely they can slap a Overkill in my stats. I know that the general suggestion is "do it again" but I have grown to really, really not like LW with its nearly non-existent variants and only six person limit (not bashing anyone who likes LW, just my opinion). If it was basically any other achievement, I would just do it again, but I have the proof that I should have gotten it and don't want to waste my time trying to do it again.

Idk if this is where I can ask this but I had recon, got the mythic skulls, and did some campaign, wondering if that may be the reason my recon has glitched off? I spoke to Shishka and he said he'd look into it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Just earn 50 EXP in one playlist to unlock the achievement. You need 38 more EXP in Lone Wolves to reach fifty. However, I would recommend you try for it in a Double EXP playlist since you'll only need to win twenty-five matches.

  • 04.01.2009 4:21 PM PDT

yaw canadian eh digg it

noodel what happens when you beat the chaimpain you loes your xbox live and now my skulls are gone

  • 04.01.2009 4:48 PM PDT

If you huys are still having trouble with your Security helmet or Katana unlocking then re-unlocking, like I used to, just get 50 achievements. I did that and I haven't had a problem since.

I was having trouble with them too. You just need to look for a green arrow near the bottom left of every message and just tap A until you can't. Then, wait for the screen to turn red and wait for it to go to a new message and then tap A again until you can't. There should be a red arrow, where the green arrow was, pointing to the left or right, can't remember, but when the arrow turns red, that means you're done.

Fileshare videos take too long to download and view -- it would be much more helpful if you could place the clip online using a capture card or a service like eatHALO.com, which will put the video directly on YouTube for you.

I see you had a triple kill in that game -- did that take place during the supposed Overkill? If so, which three kills in your list were attributed to the Triple Kill?

Here is the most likely problem: you were not host in that game. If the Host Box did not record each of your kills as being within the four second limit, you will not be awarded the Overkill, even if your client box showed you as getting each kill within four seconds of each other.

You have the Legendary Achievement, so it should be there. Weird. What armor is it that you no longer have, and what skull did you have before that you no longer have?

Yep, that's something to speak to Shishka about. The Community can't help you with getting your Recon back.

I think I uploaded the video right, but it keeps saying I need to download & install DivX, which I already did. Is anyone else able to watch it?

The triple kill did take place during the supposed Overkill, the first three kills counted as the Triple kill.

Mmm. I'll have to talk to Shishka about my Recon too.
XD.

Pope: It says I'd have to download that as well, yep.

An armor built out of skulls would be rad.

Just sayin'

I cannot watch it either. Maybe try uploading it again.

Maybe you could try earning 5EXP in a playlist you haven't already done so in. I think that has worked for other people.

Missing the skull? Did you pick it up, then at some point it's gone missing from your skull chest? Perhaps a trip back to The Covenant and picking it up again will fix it.
