Wasah!

I was looking at the reach nameplates and i liked the marathon one so i went through the whole halo 3 campaign going to all the terminals. When i got all of them i didn't get the achievement or the nameplate. help?

hOnK :o)

You have to play the actual Marathon game. Not the acheivment.

Dont listen to the guy above me...

remember that you have to get access all the terminals, but accesing them only wont count...you have to wait until the screen goes red and you get to read some extra info (If I am not wrong, some of the comversation between Mendicant Bias and the Gravemind)

Also dont forget that in the level where you get to destroy 2 scarabs you have to beat the whole level...saving and coming back later wont work, so keep that in mind.

Hope this helped.

Yeah, the Marathon Man achevement has nothing to do with it. Marathon is a Bungie game from 1995. It's avalable on XBL Arcade now, and you have to have it to get the flair.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

I need your clothes, your boots and your mobility scooter

Yeah, the post above me is the correct one. The Marathon Man achievement and the Marathon nameplate are unrelated. You just have to have the game Marathon in your recently played games to unlock the nameplate for Reach.
