Because I have just made a new account on XBL, I wanted to have a play on Halo 3 for the amazing gameplay (and achievements). After completing the campaign on legendary with a buddy a decided to go online. From what I remembered, there was basic training for any new players. But for an unknown reason, it did not appear! I was confused because if there was no basic training, then I cannot obtain the achievement "Graduate". For this achievement you had to complete basic training by either getting 5XP or playing 10 games to complete the requirements. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug that basic training is not there or you (Bungie) have taken it out. I was just curious because I thought that due to your newest and biggest franchise that was released last year, you may have thought there wont be any more new players to Halo 3.

If I can get a reply or a solution to why this has happened, that would be great!

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

Heres why.

Bungie said they would be really lazy because Reach came out.

So what happened was they announced before the ugly game called Halo Reach for the useless armor, that they would shutdown certain playlist. That includes Basic Training, Squad Battle, and Double EXP.

The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

shutup if you dont know what you're talking about. no achievement is limited to basic training, play 10 games and you'll get it.

Are there any achievements that are impossible to get in the game right now?

  • 04.22.2011 5:06 PM PDT

Well you can't get some of the medals anymore so it's not outside the realm of possibilities.
