Profile help? about bring halo 4's gpd & achievements online.

So since achievements do not time-stamp when they unlock offline, would it be safe to continue playing offline on my rgh and on november 6th
bring the profile online? what do you guys think?

From what I hear, the console keeps track of when the game was introduced to the system. I keep hearing people say that you will get banned even if you play using an offline profile. I'm not sure how much of that is true or not, but I'm hearing it from people that know about this kind of stuff. I wouldn't take any chances; the achievements aren't the only thing that can give you away.

My advice? Don't do it. I have no expertise on the subject, but I would erase the GPD and start fresh on the 6th (if at all). Don't even chance it.

hmm. so you suggest i delete the gpd? that was my original plan. I tried it first and had issues. I opened my profile in horizon. deleted halo 4 gpd. rehashed&resigned. but when i loaded up the profile it still listed halo 4 with like 300 gamerscore but the achievements wouldnt load and there was no pictures. idkkk i suppose ill just bite the bullet and delete the profile and redownload a copy from xbox live. thx for the input

I think your gamerscore is located in its own GPD (don't quote me on that, I'm not extremely familiar with this stuff). Also, here's a link that has more info: http://www.360haven.com/forums/showt...o-4-early.html.

Well since you deleted the GPD and you still see the Achievements, you could just wait like 2 or 3 days after the release of Halo 4.
However you could like you said bite the bullet and see what happens.

You could also use exPE which is in the modding tool forums and change the date of Halo 4 when you played it for the first time. I played Halo Reach offline on a different account 3 weeks before the official release date and it never got banned so I think those are all false rumours. Else you can always use someone else's suggestion and wait a few days after launch.

Well the GPD stores the actual achievements, bur the Dash GPD stores the totals for each title.
You could just delete that record and it will be like you never played.
Alternatively, you could just delete the profile and recover it from live. This will lose other data.

(^) The date is the last time played ONLINE, it will still be null in his record.

(^^) The HDD stores data about the game last played(And it is only the last played game, nothing about when it was first played), but I don't think that gets pushed.(Just play another game and it will be replaced anyway)

Aha alright. Never really tried out that function and never noticed it was for online only since all games in my list have always been played once online ;o thanks for the heads up :3
