No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Screwed up quoting dont bother.

My brother unlocked all the skulls today and he doesn't have his Hayabusa head. What's wrong?

  • 04.14.2009 3:51 PM PDT

so i unlocked the security helmet and katana with the new achievements and have 1225gs so it should stay even without the original correct.

I understand you need to get the original 49 acheivements to effectively unlock the security helmet and the katana. is there a list somewhere of the original 49?

Probably. But just check your achievement list- it's every achievement that does not require a Legendary or Mythic Map in the description. Vidmasters aren't original either.

Does the 7 on the 7th achievement only work on the playlist? I went into rumble pit with 6 exp, won 2 games and still no achievement.


It works in any playlist. Your xbox's clock may be off, so it's possible it thought you weren't on the 7th. Remember: It can be any month, but the date has to be the 7th of that month.

Gold and silver skulls are required. I bet he didn't get them. Try having him go into the campaign lobby and pressing X. See if any of the skulls are still locked.

Nope. In a vast majority of cases, you need the original 49 achievement to guarantee the permutations will stay unlocked, no matter what other or how many others you have.

OMG I didnt get annual and we were all in ghosts with skull on! Any help its on my fileshare in the 15th slot! Plz

Did anyone else in your party get it?
Or did you happen to skip the final cutscene? If you did, play through again without skipping the final cutscene. That's a common problem.

Hey! Umm... Im kinda new 2 the forums and need sum help with security helm and katana.

Basically i got the katana and security helm and used them. I had 1000 gamerscore exact from halo 3 with about 45 achievements.

Then today when I got 50 EXP from Team Melee, I got the lightswitch achievement and the spartan officer achievement, but 4 sum reeson, they disappeared when i got my rogue helm. And I'm not sure how 2 get them back.

I think that I'm meant to get some more achievements, but umm.. yea

Hey, I used to have all of the Hayabusa armor, as well as some other pieces. Then one day I log on, and everything is gone, including my progress in the Single-player campaign. I still have all my achievements, but no armor, and no progress. How can I get this fixed? I'm not playing through the campaign again :P

But thats the answer... get 49 achievements that where original. Also I just checked you dont even have 49 achievements so you may want to get that first. Try the meta-game achievements and the other original achievements.

Q: I did the we're in for some chop achevment and its unlocked on my list but when i look for the scout shoulder armor its not unlocked? Am i doing the wrong one?

quod te non occidit, te fortiorem faciet

I have 1000G and only 40 achievements(including 4 of mythic), none of them are Online achievements because I'dont have a Xbox Live Gold membership (never had).
I saw in few posts people saying that you need the 49 original achievements to unlock the katana armor and security helmet, so my question is:
wich achievements am I missing because when i scroll trough the other achievements left there stand (online) (see link above for my achievements plz)?
sorry for this stupid question

I am missing the Used Car Salesman Achievement. The other day I was playing Neutral Bomb on Sandbox and a warthog was rushing our base w/ 3 people in it. I got the missle pod and finished them off, "Triple Kill" appeared on my screen. So shouldnt that get the achievement? I also did it on the Campign "The Ark" where the rocket launcher is located and the chopper looking thing comes over the hill with 3 brutes in it. I did it multiple time and still no achievement? Any advise or am I just S.O.L. ???


Edit: I see why I didnt get it on Sandbox it has to be a ranked match but I still should have got it on the Campign.
