Finished the Fight! And rocked the Devil’s socks off!
I managed to beat Halo 3 on Heroic today. Quite the nail-biter of an escape. I’ll admit, I still don’t understand the story but I’m sure I’ll get it on other run through. What sucked about finishing it on Heroic was the even though I got an achievement for finishing, it was only for Normal mode because apparently it unlocks first if you never beat the game on Normal – even if you beat it on Heroic. GRRR!!!
I also beat Guitar Hero 3 on Hard. I initially started on Expert (getting to the 2nd last tier) but after hitting a wall I restarted on Hard. I had a rough time with the Slipnot and Slayer songs. Just brutal. Once getting to the final “boss battle”, the devil - The Devil Went Down to Georgia, I smoked it on the first try. During the credits you get to play Dragonforce’s crazy song Through the Fire and Flames. I’m glad they put it there; no chance of failing.
I also managed to play a bit of GH3 on-line and won two rounds. Even getting the elusive “Meet your maker” achievement when you beat one of the game’s developers. Fun stuff!

Congratulations on finishing the fight!
About the achievements for finishing on various difficulties, I know that if you beat it on Heroic, for example, you will also receive the achievements for beating it at all lower difficulties.
Did you initially begin the Campaign on Normal, changing mid-stream to Heroic and then finishing it? That would mean you finished every level on Normal, but did not finish the earlier levels on Heroic, therefore you won’t earn the Heroic completion.
This happened to me when I joined some friends doing the Campaign on coop at Legendary difficulty after they had already completed a few levels which I had not.
After we finished at Legendary difficulty I had to go back and complete the earlier levels on Legendary before I received the completion achievement at that level.

That may have been what happened. I initially started on Normal and after finding it a bit too easy, I restarted the campaign on Heroic. It’s all kind of odd. Oh well, it’s not like I hated the game or anything, I’m sure to play through it again.
