I just (about five mins ago...) got to sergant rating in global rank and got the pin, but not the MARK V helmet or achievement? Whats up?...
You need to get to the playlist rank of Sergeant (which is 12EXP I think) to unlock the achievement and armour.

Good luck!

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.

The clip (eatHalo)
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.
Vid works for me (eatHalo's lookin good these days!)

Ahhhh, it looks like your Overkill was interrupted by your own death. Multikill medals are spotty after your own death -- sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't. Not much you can do about that -- just keep trying. It'll happen again!

For some reason my Legendary emblem and some of my armor just vanished, I beat the game on legendary a long time ago, can somebody explain this, thanks if you can. :]

Im also missing one skull, but I alreay had all of them.
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?


Im missing the IWHBYD skull, but i had it and the armors Im missing are the Hayabusa helmet, both Hayabusa shoulders, also the Hayabusa chest piece, the other ones are the EOD shoulders and the EOD chest piece, for the Legendary emblem, i have no problem beatin the game again, just the armors, i dont know how to get them back when i already have 69 achievements on Halo 3, if i cant get them back thats alright with me, at least it wasnt my ODST helmet, lol

I am still missing the Graduate Achievement on this account.

I created a new account to see if it was possible to get the Graduate Achievement WITHOUT playing Basic Training, and I was successful. This puzzles me, and leaves me wondering why I did not unlock the achievement when I earned 5 overall EXP in 2007 (before TU2).

I have been sending messages to Bungie employees almost everyday asking them how I can unlock my achievement. Bungie has yet to give me an intelligent reply (by intelligent, I mean a message that is NOT automatically generated according to key-words in my message).

i got security helmet around 600 and change shoulders early kitana at 700 and change armor and kitana have unlocked really but in multiple instances my armor changes itself in game from security and kitana to regular noob armor usually switches back within the next game

I was looking at your achievements, and you do not have the required achievement for shoulders the achievement is mongoose mowdown, and I did not see it.

You must gain that amount of EXP in a playlist not overall

Very common issue, but an easy sollution. All you have to do is get all 49 original achievements, includes all meta-game achievements.

I'm really not sure what the cause of that problem is, but I'll try to help.

Possible solutions
- Clear your cache.
- Recover your profile.
- Try playing through Tsavo Highway and The Ark on Legendary again and see if your E.O.D shoulders and chest return. I would also suggest you find the IWHBYD skull once more. Yet another thing to try is playing the driving portion of "Halo" on Legendary difficulty once more and watch through the entire cut scene. This may make the Legendary pin visible on your service record.

Best of luck. Hopefully, your armor will return ; )

I'm willing to bet he doesn't have the original 49 achievements. Tell him to get the original 49 achievements and he should be good.

Earn 12 EXP in one playlist to unlock the UNSC Spartan achievement and the Mark V helmet. Assuming this is your gamertag, you only need five more EXP in Social Slayer. ; )
