AchievementHow to unlock

Search the indicated locations to find the corresponding Black Box.

Mission 2 (Relic Approach): Enter the area through the Covenant shield with the supply crates. The Black Box is located at the top left on the map.
Mission 3 (Relic Interior): The left side of the starting point, close to the Pelican crash site. This is just outside the Relic itself.
Mission 4 (Arcadia City): At the base of the elevator tower near to the controls where you save Adam.
Mission 5 (Arcadia Outskirts): Just off the main road behind a destroyed Pelican, just down the first ramp.
Mission 6 (Dome of Light): At the far side of map, where you transported the third Rhino by Pelican.
Mission 7 (Scarab): On the right side of the map, just inside a cave-like alcove that contains some supply crates.
Mission 8 (Anders' Signal): On a ridge located to the right, close to the big Brute fire line at the start.
Mission 9 (The Flood): Go straight out from the base ramp towards the map's opposite side.
Mission 10 (Shield World): With Bravo platoon, in the middle of the platoon you pick up.
Mission 11 (Cleansing): Towards the left-rear of the ship, on the sloped wings. A flying unit is required to retrieve it.
Mission 12 (Repairs): Close to the left side of the Power Core building, just on the left edge of the Spirit of Fire.
Mission 13 (Beachhead): On a ledge near the second set of teleporters that are behind the Covenant base.
Mission 14 (Reactor): Up and to the left at the peak of first ramp. It is on the edge of the ramp.
Mission 15 (Escape): Between the Covenant base and Flood area in the northern part of the map. It can be found directly across from your starting point.

The black boxes that can be found in each level unlock new Halo History entries, which goes toward getting the 100% achievement. There are also some unlocked by playing in different Skirmish matches.

Black BoxHow to unlock

On mission 4, look just north of the starting point to find a tower with the Black Box at the bottom. Down there is a door behind which Adam (a small child) is trapped behind. Highlight the door and press A to open it. Clear a path to the transport for Adam. You have to be careful, as he can be one hit killed.

Use the following trick to get five free Reactors. Play as Anders. Build a Reactor and fill your base with Supply Pads. Upgrade the Supply Pads and get 2,600 supplies. Recycle three Heavy Supply Pads and begin to build three Reactors. Immediately Cryo Bomb your base. When your Reactor level in the top right corner reaches "4", stop the construction of the three Reactors and recycle them. Your money will be refunded, but you will have your Reactor level and four Reactors.

Sergeant Forge: Start Halo Wars.
Professor Anders: Complete the Campaign.

Get a Spartan and a vehicle. Then, put a protector on each. Next, have the Spartan take over the vehicle. You now have two protectors for your Spartan/vehicle. Note: A good place with protectors would be "Labyrinth".

Complete the following achievements to unlock Xbox Live Gamerscore points.

AchievementHow to unlock

Score the indicated number of points to earn the indicated rank.

Recruit: Play one game online
Lieutenant: 80,000 points
Captain: 200,000 points
Major: 400,000 points
Commander: 800,000 points
Colonel: 1,600,000 points
Brigadier: 2,400,000 points
General: 3,200,000 points

The following is a good way to save valuable units, for example, if you were trying to save a Spartan or The Prophet of Regret. This works especially well with the Covenant Base (Prophet of Regret). When you officially make the Prophet or a Special Elite unit, make them stand exactly where they spawned from in the base. Next, select the base and choose "Lock". The Claws will interlock with each other, trapping your character in there. He will stay safe from enemy fire, but if an enemy gets within range, he will go out and fire. Then you will just have to put your character back in there. Note: You will have to keep enemies at bay so he will not go out. It still saves money and time.
