Thought I'd make a quick FAQ as I constantly see the same threads posted.
FAQ
Q. Can anyone help with me Vidmasters/Achievements?
A. No, stop being bad. If you really need to cheat for achievements just language boost or invite other people in your lone wolves game to a party. Campaign is easy to complete even legendary solo so don't even ask about that. Vidmasters are overrated anyway - they take ages and recon is easy to mod. If this still doesn't satisfy your needs try the ODST forum.
Q. 7 on the 7th doesn't unlock, halp plz?
A. To get the 7 on the 7th achievement you must go into any playlist with exactly 7 exp on the 7th (SEVENTH) of the month. That means if you try on the 8th, the 9th even the 10th IT WILL NOT UNLOCK!
Q. Are the Halo 3 servers going to be shut down?
A. Not any time soon. The only reason H2 servers were shut down was because a new console was brought out. Halo 3 is currently running on the reach beta servers.
Q. Why is it so laggy?
A. Bad connections. Welcome to Halo 3.
Q. I got cheated!
A. So? Cheating is nothing new, almost every time I play doubles I get hit off at least once.
Q. Lagswitch/Bridgers/Hackers/Modders
A. Lol. Unless your running Halo 3 50 high there is a MINUSCULE chance that you have run into anyone with any form of hacking power whatsoever. Even at 50 high the only thing that usually happens is that you are DDoSed, modders, bridgers etc... have left this game. Lagswitchers? Your just on a very bad host.
Q. I can't get a 50!!
A. Wow really? Go into doubles or team slayer - the 2 easiest playlists to get a 50 in now if you don't mind being hit offline once in a while. If you can't get one, try harder. 50s are easy.
Q. I win 2 games rank up, lose 2 and rank down, the ranking system is broken!!1!1!
A. No you are just bad. If you want to rank up win more games consecutively.
Q. Anything about Recon.
A. It's just an armour and there is NOTHING special about it now everyone can get it. So stop boasting/bigging it up!
Q. Is Halo 3 dying?
A. Yes.
Q. Is Halo 3 dead?
A. Not yet.
Q. I miss the old days of Halo 3
A. That's a super cool story bro, who doesn't? Halo 3 is dying get over it. Get the last bits of enjoyment you can from the game before BF3/Mw3/Skyrim/etc... come out and kill it.
Q. I can't find this specific gametype/map???
A. Look at the top right of the page, above your username. Search bar with a drop down allowing you to search for Halo 3 files. Use it. If you can't find what you were looking for it was probably bad anyway.
Q. I just beat...
A. Unless it's 50 high against good players, no one cares.
Q. I got banned unfairly.
A. lololololololollolololololololol please post these - I like trolling these threads.
If I have missed anything out please let me know.
