How about you enter your age in there then download what it tells you to.

There is a guide for Classic....

Anyways - You CAN'T Honk the Warthog's Horn.

You CAN'T charge the laser.

Practically you CAN'T press the Right Trigger at all.

You CAN boost in the Ghost.

You CAN'T fire the Ghosts Plasma Shots.

Not sure on this one but I think if Marine get in the Warthog and get kills with Guns it cancels the Achievement.

Just keep in mind I am not sure on the Last One.

I know, I didnt fire any shots at all! I just boosted the whole way with the ghost but the problem is I'm not getting the achievement when I did everything right.

Achievement Hunter did a video on that a while back with the very strategy. I think its ok as the player doesn't touch the right trigger.

Read his first post - He got it on Legendary.

  • 04.04.2010 9:34 AM PDT

Yeah its on Legendary. I got the achievement before but on a different gamertag, I'm doing everything I did before to get it but its not giving me the achievement for some reason.

If your brother is trying to get Classic by the way can you link me to his Bungie.net Service Record?

Or just PM his Gamertag, Its against the rules to post Gamertag's I think.

If hes trying to do it on YOUR Account then your account has it unlocked already.

  • 04.04.2010 9:37 AM PDT

Well according to your most recent post you said your trying to do it by yourself on YOUR Account which is linked to your Bungie.net Profile.

If this is true then explain this to me - Your Achievement List for Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST

Classic = UNLOCKED

1. You cannot shoot ANYTHING (No right trigger AT ALL, EVER)

2. No grenades (no left trigger while not in a vehicle, OR while in a HOG. It's absolutely fine to boost a chopper or ghost.

3. Kills are FINE (splatter, melee...) as long as you don't do 1 or 2. Anything else goes, MAKE SURE you're on LIVE for the ENTIRE level. Good luck OP

Right I have checked your Brothers Account and by the looks of the Game History he should have unlocked it first go.

Tell him to go do it again without using the right trigger. There is no way to check on Bungie.net if he honked the horn or fired a Plasma Shot in the Ghost.

Watch him doing it and if he doesn't get it then put the Film on his File Share and PM with the Link to it and I will give it a watch.

Noble six I pm'd you

I will say this one more time. My BROTHER is trying to get the achievement on his own gamertag. I just helped him with the first part of this mission.

Me and him both did not press the right trigger at any time or throw a nade.

The whole point of the board is this: He's not getting his deserved achievement.

  • 04.04.2010 9:46 AM PDT

Try it one more time and if he doesn't unlock it then PM me a link to the Film and I will Message him on Xbox telling him what he done wrong or PM you on Bungie.net.

If Marines get in the Warthog at the beginning then get them out before they fire bullets while your in the Hog or else it MIGHT count towards you firing a bullet. Even if they don't kill anyone the bullets they fire might count towards yours.

This is the only reason I can think why it won't work.

Also Double Check this - When in the Campaign Lobby make sure it says - Network - Xbox LIVE and not Local or System Link. This might help also.

I have to go for now so PM me if you need anymore help I will add this Thread to my Favourites on my Browser if you need help.

You might have to just re-do it again.
By the way, when you say "me and him both," are you trying to get the achievement in co-op? You can't get it in co-op.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

try it again, I've done it 3 times, for 2 people and myself. It takes like five minutes, its not a big deal if you didnt get it, try it again. Get on the warthog (do not press any of the triggers) switch to ghost, and boost all the way, not a single shot. Make sure of that, and you'll be done.
