I find this to be very unfair to the offline gamer. I am working at a location with no Internet and I experienced the same problem. There was no warning that offline play would yield rewards. If I had known that I would not have spent 5 hours over the course of 2 weekends trying to beat this campaign. I like to play campaigns on easy to enjoy the story and shoot grunts in the head and watch confetti fly. I would like to see an update where the achievements unlock the armour, not the commendations. 343i please, we offline gamers love your game and want to support you. The more these types of glitches happen the worse rep you get. I was a big halo fan since the beginning and I can honestly say I thought handing the halo title off to you was a mistake. But after completing the campaign and experiencing your perspective of the halo franchise I have no doubts you can take it to the next level. Please look into helping offline gamers. We may be a small community but we are still here. If you help me I would have no reason to discontinue supporting you in your games of the future. Sincerely the little guy.
