You know you play lots of HALO when, you go to dinner and pick up a fork, you see in the corner of your eye press RB to switch for knife or press LB to dual wield.

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."

My 7 on 7 never appeared. No one in my party could get it it to show up.
Check my service record. It shows 8 exp. in 7 on 7.

i got 7 exp in lonewolfs on the 7th of October (cauld be wrong)and i was not awarded the achievable i checked my clock and it was set correctly to my time zone wat gives? [/quote]Did you reach 7 EXP on that exact day? The next Seven on the Seventh playlist will be out tomorrow, so why not give it another shot? Best of luck = ]
no i had 6 exp played and won the next game gaining 7 exp then another gaining 8 exp so maybe an unnotest glitch?

I have a problem with the security helmet and the katana. I had the original 49 achievements and 1000 gamerscore, but as soon as i unlocked the vidmaster challenge: 7 on 7 achievement, both pieces of armor got locked again. Any way to fix this?

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

As I said on the previous page, just obtain a handful of the new achievements and the Katana and Security helmet should unlock.

Still having problems with the Graduate Achievement. I just got 5+ EXP in Grifball and didn't get it.
I recommend you shoot for 50 EXP in a single playlist. Best way to do so is to continue playing Grifball.

Good luck guys = ]

Well its definetly nice to see someone trying to help everyone with their problems! =P
Just wondering is there no other way to get the armour back? Its just that i dont have the legendary pack so i cant get any new achievements.

Thanks again =)

i was playing campaign and i found the iron skull, but i did not get an achievement. What happend?

  • 01.09.2009 11:19 AM PDT

I had the security helmet and katana ever since I got all the achievements for halo.
I just noticed yesterday that the helmet and katana locked themselves...is it because I got a new achievement?

Bungie is WRONG!!! I have proof!

It says in the OP that to get the Graduate achievement I need to get 50 EXP in a playlist. Well...

I have 50 EXP (52 to be exact) in Grifball now AND I DIDN'T GET THE ACHIEVEMENT!!

Can a Bungie employee please shed some light on this? Or will you continue to ignore this glitch?

I ranked up to lieutenant in lone wolves and didnt get the achievement for spartan officer.
I didnt quit or power down, I even played two more matches. Do I now have to earn 50 exp in that playlist to get the achievement?

More information about the skulls not 'registering' can be found here, although, that relates to the skulls not appearing on the skull selection page. Nevertheless, doing it again is the best course of action.

Yes. Armour can lock up after gaining new achievements.

Your situation is a little odd. Have you tried getting to 5EXP in as many playlists as you can? If not, try getting to 5EXP in all of them.

I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to say here. You will unlock the Rogue helmet when you achieve the Spartan Officer achievement which is 50EXP in a single playlist.

50EXP in any playlist for the Spartan Officer achievement. It can be a ranked or social playlist.

I dont have the time to rank up to 50!

Not rank, just EXP.

So, win 50 matches, or win 25 matches in a DblEXP playlist.

Just got to Sergeant, but no Mark V helm or UNSC spartan achievment.

Could this be because I got to 20 exp by playing grifball on the double exp weekend playlist?

I have the badge on my service record saying UNSC spartan as well.

You need an EXP rank of Sergeant (12 EXP) in a single playlist to unlock the UNSC Spartan achievement and Mark V helmet. You currently have 4 EXP in Grifball, so I would continue with that as it is not very difficult to rank up in. Best of luck = ]

I have the same problem. Does that mean I need to get the EXP of a Seargeant in a certain playlist? EX: Team Slayer, Lone Wolves, etc. Btw, could I use griffball as a playlist?

Yep. According to your service record, you only need 8 more EXP points in Grifball = ]

Good to know. It was quite annoying when I lost my katana and didn´t know what to do.

how did you unlock recon?
please explain....

  • 01.10.2009 7:20 PM PDT

I just got done going for the Vidmaster Challenge: Annual achievement. I was playing with 3 friends, 1 of which already had the achievement, the other 2 did not. We just finished the game, went through the cutscenes and got back to the lobby and my friends got the achievement (proof on their gamercard) yet i didn't, WTF. I just wasted an hour and a half (one of my friends sucks at driving ghosts)...
