Subject: Need help on activating beacon for Data Hive

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

So i was playing the campaign normally, beating a level or two, saving then turning off my xbox. But then when i was in the middle of a level i saved, quit, then activated a skull because i saw there was an achievement for it. Now i continued playing normally until after the Kiko something level. It was the one right before Data hive. But anyway I beat this level and watch the little cutscene of my dude throwing the medical thing and nothing pops up about Data Hive. All that comes up is the ammo places. Now i've looked through my visor thing and there isn't even an option for the data hive beacon. Anyone have suggestions or has anyone had this happen before?

Can't be too careful with your company. I can feel the devil walking next to me.

It's a non-linear campaign. There's probably another level that you have to beat before you can unlock it.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

well if you activated a skull it comes up saying something like this will erase all saved comm data or something and assuming you said yes so you could get the achhievement it erased the data so you must do it again my friend.

It doesn't erase comm data. That is the audio files and weapon caches.

The message says something more like *It'll erase midgame checkpoints and progress, but not Comm Data.*
