Subject: A permatent solution is needed for the armor relocking

I know armor matters not during game play but It is inconvienent for some of the different armor types to relock with every achievement, now I have been told that If all of the original fortynine achievements are unlocked the armor will stay in place but this is still a rather difficult challenge. I do not know who is in charge of halo anymore but I would like to see some dedication to the older games by fixing some of these problems such as armor relocking. What I have noticed is achievement related armor such as scout and mark 5 and recon will not relock so if it were my guess that those armor pieces have a check system which keeps them there, if any tech wizards have any ideas put them here because halo3 is in need of a title update and this is indeed a problem that has to be adressed.

That's not how it works mate. The reason something like the Katana and Security armor permutations relocking hasn't been fixed is... well, due to two reasons:

A. These days? It isn't worth 343's effort. Halo will will not be getting updates. It is done. You'll need to live with that.

B. The reason back when Bungie was in charge? It isn't as simple as 'fixing it' or 'putting in new or better code.' If they were to 'fix' the armor permutation problem, it would have caused OTHER bugs. Bungie did not have the resources at the time to test and retest everything for possible bugs (as in, it could potentially unlock GAMEPLAY AFFECTING bugs rather than just silly armor ones), nor was it worth it considering it doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest. So it did not happen since it would have hurt the rest of the game.

Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

wtf did I read?

You got me there one of the only reasons that the armor relocking mattered to me was that I produce machinmas and the armor type katana was necassary for a episode and the armor relocking set me off schedule.

I run Skirmish!!!

if you just took the time and got all the achievements you would not have this problem.
