Problems With Marathon Man Achievement Halo 3
So I have been playing H3 With the Wife and my buddy Bill, and trying to get the Marathon Man Achievement by accessing all of the terminals located in the campaign mode. First off to access the terminals all three of us Would have to be near the terminal to activate it, Which We already understood. We got to the final level, and got the final terminal and activated it, reading through every page and Waiting 10 seconds., going past the red blinky screen and reading the final pages. Nothing happened, no achievement! So What happened? We thought maybe We missed one, so We Went back and did them all again, and again nothing happened. Were We not going through all of the pages? Well, I researched on the Web and found others having the same issue, people Were saying to hit them all in order and to complete each level that have the terminals in at least Normal hardness. This is all complete BS, here is the secret. Everyone in your party has to activate the terminal and read ALL of the pages. Be sure to wait for the red blinky screen and read the following few pages to the very end. You do not have to view them in order, nor do you have to complete the level after accessing one. There is no particular level of hardness you have to play campaign to get the achievement as you do with the skulls. The easiest way to get the achievement is to play single player, so you don’t have to wait for everyone in your party to view the terminal, and play in easy mode. Be sure after viewing the last terminal in each level, to save and quit. Don’t worry so much about getting terminal 8, as it doesn’t count towards the achievement.
