*Think Before Ya Blink*

If you think you've got lag just think how jesus felt, it took him three days to respawn.

Hi, i'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, and I do apologise if this is the case. I also used the search bar and no results appeared. ("Returned 0 results for ""we''re" AND "chop"" in 0.015601 seconds")

Anyway on topic, I tried to get this achievement which is really easy (We're in for some chop) but on multiple occasions I have tried on campaign and matchmaking the achievement will not unlock.

I even check websites from Google to help and I did what the description told me to do and still no achievement. So this leads me to think that the system wont register this particular achievement for some reason.

Does anyone have any idea on what I can do for this problem?

NOTE: This is not asking for any help doing achievements, this is a total Halo 3 query.


Thanks,

Micky :D

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

You've tried the tripmine method on Tsavo Highway, I presume?

Thanks, I tried a similar approach using a tank (on another level) but I think it's the system.

crows nest is the easiest....

i also did it with a trip mine on Tsavo Highway with a chopper.

you know what do it on Tsavo Highway....

just grab a trip mine and wait till a chopper runs you down.
drop the mine and watch as the fireworks and your achievement go flying.

Well my friend tried it on there and he got it. Then I tried (both co-op and solo) and failed in the attempt.

get a trip mine and wait till the chopper tries to fun you down. then throw the mine right before it hits you and jump....

after a few seconds youll get the achievement.

I'll try that.

However it did this with the other achievement (kill 3 enemies in one vehicle) and it did not unlock on my old Halo 3 then once I bought a new campaign disk and tried it again it unlocked.

Make sure to weaken the Chopper (I did it with a Fuel Rod shot), as a single tripmine isn't guaranteed to completely destroy it.

Ok, thanks. :D

If that doesn't work well I don't know then. Just one of those things.

It is a bit of a pain to get get but on Tsavo Highway after you defeat the wraith and the pelican drops the warthogs.


Ok thanks. :D

Just thought I'd offer advice:
Like they said, Tsavo Highway.

Get the fuel rod. It takes two direct shots to the front of a chopper THEN the tripmine to destroy it. Don't shoot the gunner- shoot the front of the thing.

Ok thanks. Does difficulty have an effect?
