confused about achievements


Recommended Posts

ok, COD3, hot potato. been throwing them back like crazy, no points (says five throw-backs are enough).

COD3 again, assault trooper award, finishing a mission with only assault rifles. did that many times...no dice.

Contra, award: untouchable, get to the first tunnel without losing a life. i do that every time yet no points, again.

i think there's a problem with wording in some of these achievements.

for example, the hot potato achievement probably wants to tell us that five throw backs resulting in kills gets you the points, the assault trooper achievement is for using only allied weapons or something, and in Contra...well, i don't know about that one.

while Live is awesome and the achievements are a brilliant idea, there's some attention to detail that needs to be fixed. the COD3 awards even have a typo but it's nothing serious, i don't wanna get Treyarch in trouble.

i love the awards, but to get them we need to know exactly what to shoot for!

give me a target, dammit.

neo, have any other Contra achievements worked for you? That happened to me a long time ago- back when Geometry Wars was new. A few early Arcade titles wouldn't register achievements, but I thought the problem had been fixed since. Try redownloading the game. That's what I did.

Neo, this may be a stupid question, but have you checked your list of achievements to make sure you didn't get it already? Also, does anyone else have access/use your 360? I share mine with my brother and he'll play under my gamertag because he doesn't have one of his own. He unlocked a few of my achievements when I wasn't around, so could that the problem?

Also, question to anyone with Contra. Is the 30-lives code still in there or did they remove it?

Yes.. they added it in even though its not the true NES version.

ragnarok: yes, one did work. i got the one for picking up four weapons right away. the untouchable acheive for getting to the tunner didn't. ditto COD3...just played again and it won't give me points for picking up nades and finishing missions with assault rifles.

spacer, of course i check my achievements regularly. no, those i'm missing aren't there. assuming there's no such thing as an update when your 360's turned off, right? with XBL so integrated you never know.

and no one is supposed to have access to my machine except for people who come over but then i'm with them and my crowd looks down at gaming anyway, those jerks.
