I played the entire campaign offline on legendary with all the corresponding achievements unlocked and I was a little curious as to why I didn’t unlock any special armor, as was common with halo 4’s predecessors. After finding out about the MK VI armor, I have searched across halo forums and there’s no solid answer besides replaying the campaign online. I am not looking to waste four days of frustration again. Is there any way to contact 343?
I spoke to a microsoft customer service representative and besides basic troubleshooting issues, they recommended the forums before I call back angrilly to escalate the issue to tier 3.
What’s even more strange is that Waypoint says I have no service record or gameplay data with Halo 4, even though when I found 5/7 terminals in the game I was able to access the videos that were unlocked.
No, unfortunately for some reason you cannot earn Commendations offline, and to unlock the Mark-VI armor you must unlock the “Legend” Commendation, which requires the Legendary Commendation for each individual Campaign mission.
It’s lame, but yes, you must be connected to Live to do it. They have for some reason, unfortunately, elected to store all Commendation data remotely on servers with no temporary local storage. So if you’re offline, tough luck.
> My question is why do you want to unlock things offline if you can’t use them? Is it just for split screen?
It’s possible that his internet could have been down for a few days or something, so the armour would be useful once he’s back online. Not unlocking the armour offline is a very, very silly thing for 343 to have done.

Bad luck of mine then, I really want the Venator Armor. That which is unlocked with the Assassin Master Commendation, (All the war games against my brother to the trash can). As I see I’ll have to wait till microsoft brings XL to my country… Or move from here… Which one is worse? XD T.T
You guys do not know what u r talkin about. I got mk6 armor offline because my wireless adapter broke, so I got it before my new adapter came. I don’t know why it’s not happening to some people.
