Subject: Glitched Achievement?

I just got promoted to Lieutenant (which is in the Spartan Officer ranks), yet I didn't get the achievement for ranking up. Is there some sort of problem with this achievement, or am I missing something?

EDIT: For some reason, my H3 stats page doesn't list me as a Lt. However, it does in the game. I have the Spartan Officer insignia in-game as well. Hmm..

I thought that was for the Vidmaster achievement?

It's for both. Don't ask why, it is odd, but trust me. I got it the other day by doing the lightswitch vidmaster.

Ah, I found my answer on the Halo Wiki. Apparently, if you skip the last grades of Sergeant and go straight to Lieutenant (by having the 70 XP with at minimum Highest Skill of 10), the game doesn't recognize you as being the proper rank. So it is a glitched achievement. So yes, I'll have to get it by getting 50 EXP in a playlist.

It WAS glitched. But it hasn't been for years. Bungie changed the requirements for it years ago now. BECAUSE it was glitched, some people couldn't get the achievement. So Bungie just changed what you had to do.

You'd have needed to get the 50 experience either way so don't worry about it.
