Subject: 7 on 7 achievment glitch

Last night on 9/7/10, I played 7 on the 7th playlist and got up to 7 exp. The achievement didn't show up, so I started to lose 1 exp on that playlist and gained it back and the achievement still didn't unlock. I played until 11:45 pm and I just couldn't get it. I am certain that my clock was on the 7th of the month, and I got the 7 exp at about 9:30 pm before I finally turned off my xbox at 11:45 pm. I want to know why it didn't register that I got 7 exp and I want the achievement unlocked, Bungie! Please!!

The Spartan 1 Project, the biggest, best and most active group on Bnet.

you simply have to get 7XP on the 7th of the month, doesn't matter what the playlist is, or how much previous experience you had.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

you might have to play on it when its 7, not just get 7. also, the loss of exp might have confused the system

the achievement isn't to get 7 exp on the 7th, its to enter into a play list with 7 exp on the 7th of the month, so after getting the 7exp u should of left the play list and rejoined it

I had similar instance happen to me a few months ago. i played a playlist that i already had exp in. i played and earned 7 exp, and it didn't unlock. So, this time around, the night before the 7th, i played a playlist i had ZERO exp in, earned 7 exp, stopped playing, then jumped into match making on the 7th, and it unlocked for me. There's a lot of forums out there syaing that you have to have exactly 7 exp for it to work, and others say you only have to earn 7 exp in any playlist. Who is right? who knows, but it seems that the best way to achieve this is the way i explained above. It sucks that you have to wait another month, but you can spend the time now getting those 7 exp in a list you havent played yet. Good luck!

lol read the achievement and you would know who is right it clearly says "join a play list with 7 exp on the 7th of the month" it does not say, "Earn 7 exp in a play list on the 7th of the month"

Everyone is entitled to their own wrong opinion.


I'm part of the Bungie.net Minecraft group/server called SeptaCrafters
We're a Bungie.net group that goes to our very own Bungie server. Most players are from the Halo community either off Bungie itself or through word to Halo friends.

That's really odd. The achievement is to enter into a playlist with 7xp on the 7th of the month.

You can always get it next month.

You don't need to even leave, just match up for a game when you've got 7XP. I laugh at your deranking folly.

I did all those things. I had 7 exp and left the playlist and joined it again. Nothing happened. I got 7 exp and got corproal rank like the road to recon video said to do and still nothing. I just don't get it. I did everything that people have told me. The only thing I didn't do was have 6 exp on Sep.6th and got 7 exp on the Sep.7th. I guess I'll have to try it next month, while juggling Reach and H3 at the same time. I just want recon armor and then Reach is my only focus. Please keep responding about what to do for 7 on 7 and I will try it next month. Thank You.

Protip: Make sure your Xbox's clock is in sync with your time. Funnily enough, a Bungie Employee had this problem. He couldn't get that achievement and it turns out his Xbox's clock was set to the wrong date.

You can pull your pants up now I am finished.

all you have to do is have 7 exp and play in the playlist that you have it in, you have to play in it though. Finish the game just to be safe. Also you still need the vidmaster:endure achievement from odst to earn recon. so endure and 7 on 7 and then u should have recon.

I still want to get 7 on 7 next month, but I'm afraid that no one will still be playing H3 since Reach will be out. Whoever sees this,I would appreciate it if you can continue to give me tips about what I should do to finally get 7 on 7 and also whether you think it's worth it to get 7 on 7 next month even though Reach will be out.
