I think you're either mis-understanding me.

Melees do NOT disqualify you from getting the acheivements. And I am aware you do not have to do it to get the scavenger one. However, the point I was making was that you need to get a German weapon to get scavenger. The best way to do that is to use a melee attack to get a weapon off the first enemy you meet.

I have all the single player acheivements with the exception of the die 20 times and veteran ones. Got them no problems without really trying.

there must be other things at play here then that are preventing certain players from getting those. look at my gamer page and you'll see i got the bolt action rifle one, but not the assault, altho they supposedly use similar mechanics. the scavenger one was easy, didn't have to use melee coz the NPC's manage to knock out a few germans every level.

which level did you get the assault acievement on?

Damn i hate this game, two steps, fall into the ground! i've not even got past that Car bit at the start of the game. GAH! it annoys me something cronic!

i got every single player achievement in the game (including the secret ones) the only ones i dont have are the multiplayer ones. i got them all on the first time i tried for them. i dont think any of them wont unlock if u do it right. check my gamertag.

in rainbow six vegas though there are buggy achievements and some wont unlock the first time you get them.

Can't remember, as it was 2 months ago, but, I got it before the Polish Tanker one, so, it must have been just before the second tank based level.

could it be there're individual issues with consoles that are affecting this? for me RSV was spot-on with the few unlocks i got for it.

i'll try the COD3 assualt rifle again.

I think, yeah, there's an issue with some consoles that messes with achievements. I'm not positive on that, though, as some achievements unlock on certain gamer profiles on my 360, but not on others.

I'm having trouble with the CoD3 ones, too, especially that damn 'nade one. I've counted now and I've thrown back well over 20 grenades- still nothing. It's bugging me, but not enough to keep me from playing the rest of the game.

Veteran is where it's at, guys. I loved it on CoD2 and I love it on this. If that 150 point achievement for beating the game as a Vet doesn't unlock, though... well, then I'll have a problem.

right on ragnarok, go for those 150 points baby (good luck with all that... /mumbles/). heh heh i found the veteran setting suicidal and not worth the risk of injury to my feeble fist as it traveled through ten pounds of 360 entrails.

anyway, thanks for confirming the unlock issues, as well. i believe that could be the culprit: something with specific consoles. and now you're saying it even varies across profiles on the same machine?

finally managed to get the assault trooper unlock! did it with the BAR and FG42. the MP40 doesn't count, they figure it's a submachine gun. i always think of it as an assault rifle.

MP40 - Maschinenpistole 1940 - The name should have given it away! :rolleyes:

heh heh not yet man, thanks for asking will probably do it over the weekend. i heard from a friend that it's got to be five nades during one checkpoint tho, not over the whole campaign. can you verify?

i won a online match and had the highest score and i didnt get the achievement but i played again and did the same and unlocked it so i guess they are kinda buggy

that sucks you guys are having so many problems with single player achievements. i unlocked them all on my first try

Melee attacks are fine - in fact it clearly states "Melee attacks don't count", the same as in the Scavenger one, where you HAVE to use a melee attack to get a German weapon.

You do not have to use it, the way i got it was,

Set difficulty to easy. (in first brittish mission)

Walk over to soldier having a Wee!

Jump infont of him but do not fire.... he fires at you and your team mates kill him .... you take his gun.

And i read many times Melee attacks dont count but when i did melee attacks it simply never gave me the achievement, i got it by doing it my way.

there's a lot of evidence to suggest the unlocks are flaky and vary among users. when going for the rifle or assault rifle awards, do it on east and take your time with the controls...one accidental grenade and/or melee and you're a goner. i think when they said "melees..etc do not count" they meant DON'T use them.

that was my initial point, for many games the unlocks are vaguely worded. even hexicHD - one award's for COMPLETING 100 games. do they mean finishing a game or winning it? i don't know. i do know i've played more than a hundred games!

I think that could be correct. From memory, the level in the factory is where I got it.

YOU CAN use melees and nades and still get the achievements. i used melees more than shooting so i know you can.

well, it didn't work on my machine.

will be going for the hot potato award soon...hopefully tomorrow. factory level, eh? yeah it's close quarters there so more nades i guess. how about the first canadian level, where they're holed up in that building?

holy crap, what's wrong with the ranked match tally? had 13 points before a match, scored around eight times...next match i still had 13 points. isn't it just a straight accumulation of points?
