*The UNSC Spartan Achievement, which you receive for reaching sergeant status online, has been known not to unlock for some people regardless of rank. This was later investigated by Bungie and was found that this is because their consoles are turned off before actually ''receiving'' the achievement. It should also be noted that, with the new EXP system, the achievement can be obtained through reaching UNSC Spartan level on a playlist. This still, unfortunately, will not unlock the UNSC Spartan ''pin'' on a player's global service record. | *The UNSC Spartan Achievement, which you receive for reaching sergeant status online, has been known not to unlock for some people regardless of rank.

* The "Vidmaster Challenges" were from Bungie's ''[[Marathon]]'' series, where players who wished to prove they were the absolute best had to complete insane challenges such as playing through the game without the use of health items, with only fists, on the highest difficulty setting. Those that succeeded made videos to mark their achievement, thus spawning the term "Vidmaster". When all Vidmaster Challenges are completed then [[Recon]] armor is unlocked in Halo 3 multiplayer. | * The "Vidmaster Challenges" were from Bungie's ''[[Marathon]]'' series, where players who wished to prove they were the absolute best had to complete insane challenges such as playing through the game without the use of health items, with only fists, on the highest difficulty setting.

*Unlocking at least 49 achievements and 1000 gamerpoints gives the [[Security]] helmet and [[Katana]] body in multiplayer. These pieces may relock unless all 49 non-DLC achievements have been unlocked. Finding all skulls unlocks the [[Hayabusa Armor]]. | |||
*"''Marathon Man''" refers to Bungie's ''[[Marathon]]'' series, where interactive computer terminals were plentiful. | |||
*The name of the "''Askar''" achievement is actually in [[Wikipedia:Bahasa Melayu|Bahasa Melayu]] (the formal language in Malaysia) and the meaning is "soldier". Also in Swahili (the official language of Kenya and Tanzania), the word "askari" can mean soldier or policeman. Similarly, in Pashto/Pashtu/Pushtu/Pakhto (representative of dialectal differences in pronunciation) Asgar can mean soldier, or more generally a member of any armed force. (Pashto is one of two official languages of Afghanistan, and is also spoken in the tribal region of Northern Pakistan.) | |||
*Out of the original 49 achievements, the online-only achievements (except better luck next time buddy and MVP) were only obtainable in the playlists [[Lone Wolves]] and Head to Head. Occasionally [[Double EXP Weekend]] playlists do have Ranked FFA playlist(s) as well, like: [[Legendary Brawl]]. The new achievements added with AU2 are obtainable in both ranked and social playlists, providing it is on the required map(s). | |||
*Some players have been known to use the ''language glitch'' for the [[Halo 3]] online achievements, and this is considered [[boosting]] and frowned upon by most Halo gamers. | |||

Those that succeeded made videos to mark their achievement, thus spawning the term "Vidmaster". Recent rumor about the December issue of Game Informer suggests that when you buy [[Halo 3: ODST]] and have all Vidmaster Challenges completed then Recon armor will be unlocked in Halo 3 multiplayer. This was confirmed in a bungie weekly update. | |||
*Legendary map achievements can be obtained on a Mythic map, making them much easier to be staged because of how [[Team Mythic]] works. | |||
