Hey guys, i have two Q's to ask you guys

1. On Halo 3, i have reached the rank of Lieutenant (grade 2), but the achievement for becoming a spartan officer online hasn't come up yet, neither has the vidmaster achievement. i waited a bit after i got it, but it didn't come so i played a few more matches, and still nothing happened. if you wanna check it out on bungie.net my gamertag is Hugh Fleet .

2. Is there a way to get windows media center on windows XP so i can stream stuff from my pc to XBOX 360. i tried microsoft.com, but it said i need to upgrade to Windows Vista to get, which sucks. I really don't want to upgrade, because alot of people say that XP is better than Vista, even though its the newer version. I have the upgrade software for Vista (Windows vista home basic), which if i have to i will do,

any answers appreciated,

thanks
With the media center Q, i didnt really word it properly, i need to get media center on my Windows XP PC, i tried to download it off microsoft. com but it said i need windows vista. i need to be able to get it on XP.

thanks,

answer to 1: I got the same problem too. Bungie had several problems with this but recently they claim to have fixed the problems. i also got insight on the Arby n the Chief video series, try searching that.

Halo 3 question: The Spartan Officer Achievement used to require a GLOBAL ranking of Lieutenant (not to be confused with the new “Lightswitch” achievement which is earned by obtaining a rating of Lieutenant in a single playlist). We are aware of some problems with people disconnecting/powering down too soon after they finished the game that earns them the achievement. The problem is that the actual results of the game and awarding of the EXP happens on the back-end and is arbitrated by the LIVE service. If you disconnect before that completes, you won’t actually get credit.

The good news is that now the Spartan Officer, UNSC Spartan and Graduate achievements are all tied to the new per-playlist rating. So if you have already surpassed those milestones on a global level but never earned them, you can do it again by earning the appropriate EXP level in a specific playlist. However, the pin that shows up in your Service Record is still tied to a global rating. So you can unlock the achievements by earning EXP in a playlist but you won’t get the pin unless you satisfy the original global criteria. Whew. Got all that?


Media center question: On your xbox console on the video market tab it will have something about media center follow the instructions its pretty simple.

Hope i helped.
