Thanks for the help. :)

"..maintain discipline!"

The basic training option should be there in the playlists, and if you have already exceeded the requirements for it, it simply won't let you find games and will just blink at you.

Did you get the achievement/player icon in your service record for graduating Basic?

The basic training option isn't in the lists, maybe it's because I'm using the ODST included-Mythic cd?

No, I didn't get the achievement yet, all the ones I have were earned offline except for MVP which was earned on Monday..

Hrmm, If you have the original Halo 3 disc, id try and throw
that in and see what happens.. I remember the Basic option never
disappeared for me, I just can't play the playlist anymore. Im thinking since that playlist utilizes the original maps, using the H3 disc is your best bet, but I can't say for sure.

Im fairly certain getting the 'Graduate' achievement and the
player placard is the key to your issue. I remember playing the Basic Training playlist until it kicked me out, so Im not privvy to this problem.


Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Ive heard of this issue before, maybe try searching and see what others have done.

I'll try out my original Halo 3 disk tomorrow (the inner circle is a bit cracked from the legendary edition case.. -.-), so I'm not sure if it'll work.


I've tried searching before making this thread, but didn't find anything usefull.. Thanks for the help so far, though.

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

Well my friend has it unlocked and the most he's gotten in one playlist is 4. So I don't think it's that.

I think it might be good to add a quick summary box too. For example:

Spartan Officer: You need 50EXP in a single playlist, not overall.
Graduate achievement: You need 4EXP in a single playlist, not overall.

Rogue Helmet: See Spartan Officer achievement.
etc..


All I could find on the subject.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

4 EXP in a single Playlist, just as Rogue is 50 in a single playlist.

Edit: Damn, beaten to the answer.

Basic Training: Just like squad battle, and double experience weekend. Basic Training has been deleted from the playlist so that means that playlist no longer exist. :/

And the problem with your ODST helmet is probably that you do have to get all the experience required for a single playlist. And I think your friend did reach 5 experience but he probably quit a game making him have for again. That's what I believe.

Crazy, ah well.. it was a pretty useless playlist anyway.
