What am I supposed to do with my EVA and Refuge achievement problem?
Have you tried completing "The Ark" on another Xbox? Take your Hard Drive to a friend's house and complete the level on their Xbox.

I am rather confused...I don't have 1000 points or even 49 achievements. I only have 46 achievements and 965/1250...any ideas why I have the security helmet and my katana...

The two permutations are glitched meaning they may or may not unlock even with/without the proper requirements. My advice: enjoy them while they last! = ]

Unfortunately, I don't know of an existing fix. Try going through the campaign and finding the skulls once more. Otherwise, wait a little while and things might return back to normal.

Since TU2 was implemented, the requirement for the Spartan Officer achievement is the rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in a single playlist, not a global rank. Currently, you have 28 EXP in Social Slayer. I would suggest you to continue that playlist, but the choice is yours.

As far as the ODST helmet and the Graduate achievement go, you should have unlocked both when you reached a total of 5 EXP overall or in an individual playlist. The best advice I can provide is to continue playing until you earn the Spartan Officer achievement as that may unlock the ODST helmet and Graduate achievement as well.

Just by your stats, I can tell you are quite a good player so it shouldn't be too difficult. You only need 19 more EXP in Team Slayer currently. My suggestion would be to go in with a group of friends.

I got 50 EXP in a playlist, as well as 5 EXP in a bunch of other playlists, and my Graduate Achievement STILL hasn't unlocked.

It seems as though Bungie doesn't care about these problems. If they did, they would at least make an attempt to answer our questions.

AAO 117(Klondike)

In my experience just get all of the acheivments of 1000 GamerScore and you'll get the armors.

This may take a little time and a little determination, but if the Graduate achievement is important to you, try earning 5 EXP in all playlists.

I know for a fact that I will be wasting my time with that. If that is what the requirements were, then I would do it. I will recover my account and try getting 5 EXP in yet another playlist.

I just got 5 or more EXP in almost every playlist...and I still do not have the Graduate Achievement.

Bungie should put Halo 3: ODST aside for a minute and answer our questions. Bungie is so concerned about the future, that they have never thought once about fixing their mistakes from the past.

You know this has nothing to do with this topic but i dont care...
Matchmaking in Halo3 in the MOST unfair thing i have ever seen.
Starting halo u will probaly face a 50 or something on a new account.
It make halo 3 one of the most aggravating games out there.
Fix the matchmaking system by the highest skill not the playlist skill

Hmmm.

Sounds as though the Xbox isn't saving your skull data from the game to your profile on your HDD/MU properly. Perhaps clearing your cache might work. After you do it, get a few skulls, then restart your Xbox. If they still aren't appearing then I have no idea. Your profile might be corrupt or something, in which case, recovering it might work, but you should only use that as a last resort if you can't find any more information on why it's happening.

You may need a total of 49 achievements excluding any Vidmasters. It seems the Vidmaster achievements will in a way cancel out the 49 achievements. So, as Daz said, you'll need a few more achievements. I would recommend you try for the following achievements:

Cavalier
Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the third mission.

Askar
Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fourth mission.

Exterminator
Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the fifth mission.

Ranger
Earned over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the sixth mission.

Orpheus
Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the eighth mission.

Reclaimer
Earned over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the final mission.

As you can see, they are the meta game achievements. I can't make any promises, but unlocking these should unlock the Katana and Security helmet as well. Good luck = ]
