this probably has been said already but do you need all 49 original achievments or do you just get 49 achievments

i have over 1000 gamerscore, and i have 46 achievments including the new ones like double, double, and look both ways. so if i got 3 more achievments i would still not have security.

You have to keep in mind that a 1000 gamerscore does not necessarily guarantee the Katana and Security helmet will unlock. You do not need all of the original achievements, it can be a combination of new and old.

It can be any 49 achievements. Unlocking the originals will guarantee the Katana and Security unlock and remain unlocked, but they aren't all necessary.

You may and you may not. I would say give it a try. Assuming this is your service record, i would recommend you strive to complete the meta game achievements as those are original and aren't all that difficult.

Good luck guys = ]

Those occurrences do not mean you have lost the armor, so don't worry. It seems to be caused by connection problems.

“There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.” - Ernest Hemingway

I just have to reload everything to get my armor back. It's not that big of a deal anyway.

I had the security head and kanata so i have to unlock again

Hey, no worries. You can easily get the permutations back. If I might make a suggestion, I recommend you strive for the following achievements:

- Guerilla
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the first mission.

- Demon
Earn over 15,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the second mission.

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

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

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

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

- Vanguard
Earn over 50,000 points in the Campaign meta-game on the seventh mission.

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

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

Guide for Meta Game achievements.

- Spartan Officer
Advance to the Spartan Officer ranks (Online).
Obtain the rank of lieutenant (50 EXP) in a single playlist. I recommend trying for it in a Double EXP playlist as you only need to win 25 matches.

- Marathon Man
Access all Terminals in the Campaign.
This isn't very difficult. If you have any trouble, here is a great guide.

- MVP
Earned the MVP in a ranked playlist.
This is quite easy. Score the most kills in a ranked team playlist.

- Campaign Complete: Heroic/Legendary
Complete the Campaign on Heroic/Legendary difficulty.
Find a group of friends and this shouldn't be all that difficult. In fact, you may be able to complete a few levels solo.

Unlocking these will bring you to a total of 51 achievements and a 1210 gamerscore. That may or may not unlock the Security helmet and Katana. If it does not, then keep playing and shoot for all of the original achievements.

Best of luck = ]

Actually, the requirement is 5 EXP. You only need one more EXP point = ]

Finish him!

Great news, without using Xbox live, i went offline and just did offline mode and i got two acheivements in campaign, getting me a Katana & Security helmet

What are the side effects to clearing your cache on your hard drive?

I just got the Security helm and the Katana out of the blue this morning while rising in rank on Lone Wolves (it took me two hours to get from LT to Major for some reason, my skill went up even if I lost). Then, the 5 sticks achievement re-locked the both of them! The security shoulders remained, and I've had them for a while.

As far as I can tell, the quick solution is clearing the cache, I've never heard of it. Could somebody explain/answer the above question?

go to memory and higlight your hard drive and push x,x,lb,rb,x,x or was it a,x,x,rb,lb,x,x i forgot sorry dude dut its on of those

  • 01.18.2009 7:06 AM PDT

I had a weird experience with the security shoulders. I got them at only 750 gamerscore and im now on 805 and dont have them anymore, why is that?

  • 01.18.2009 11:41 AM PDT

^
The security shoulders are glitched beyond belief. Getting more achievements should get them back.

Proof
You have still yet to reach 5 EXP in DLC FFA, Social Slayer, Multi Team, and Team Objective. Unfortunately, that's the best advice I can provide.

Yes, you have a total of 9 EXP. You need 5 EXP in a single playlist to unlock the Graduate achievement. As I said, you only need one more EXP point in Lone Wolves = ]

I've unlocked the Spartan Officer achievement since I'm a Lieutenant, but I haven't gotten the helm that goes with it, which I believe is a rogue helm. Anyone know why?

umm, hi guys, ok heres my problem.

i got a party of 4 -all xbox live accounts (no guests)- on xbox live and we played campaign, last level (halo), iron skull, legendary, all made it to the end in ghosts. i was waiting on the post game screen and finally in the corner it says "achievement unlocked - 0G - vidmaster challenge: annual"

i was really happy because that was the last achievement i needed to do. so as soon as that popped up i clicked center button and hit x and signed out, because i was going to switch xbox live accounts (my friends account is recovered to my xbox and i do matchmaking on his acc). i did that and i started playing lone wolves on his account.

anyway, recently i looked at my acheivements, and.... THE VIDMASTER ANNUAL ISNT COMPLETED!! its like i didnt unlock it, its still locked.

I worked so hard!!!! WHY???

can someone please help??

You need to be a Lieutenant (50EXP) in a SINGLE playlist, not overall.

Sounds as though you powered down too quickly/signed out too quickly before the achievement registered. Similarly to what happens with the per-playlist achievements.

We are aware of some problems with people disconnecting/powering down too soon after they finished the game that earns them the achievement. The problem is that the actual results of the game and awarding of the EXP happens on the back-end and is arbitrated by the LIVE service. If you disconnect before that completes, you won’t actually get credit.The only advice I can give you is to do it again.

How exactly do I get it in a single playlist, dazarobbo?

Edit: It looks like I have 46 exp in Squad Battle playlist, does that mean I just need 4 more exp?
