Ah, I see. However, I thought the secondary profile was your gamertag, and is supposed to be the profile that has played Vegas 1 (or am I missing something?)

Thanks for this, kleaneasy. Should help cut down the dozens of threads on the matter.

Note there is a workaround for the PFC achievement for those who haven't yet loaded R6V2.

1) Set up a new profile (or use an existing profile that hasn't played R6V1) and sign on that profile using the first controller (player 1).
2) Sign on your actual gamertag (the one you want the achievement for) using the second controller (player 2).
3) Load up the game and play split-screen Terrorist hunt missions.
4) Continue playing until you level up the player 2 character (the one with your actual gamertag) to Private First Class - Achievement Unlocked.

I know this is not an Achievement issue as such but I'll post my "issue" here anyway.
I have unlocked the following achievement:
>That Wasn't So Hard
>Complete a scene as Bishop's teammate, Knight, in co-op Story mode at any difficulty.
(purplish ribbon)
But in the ribbon does not appear in the My Character - Ribbon list

The same has happened to me.

No luck with the Freedom Shall Prevail achievement, i've tried hosting, joining and single player in the last scene, nothing

I reckon the only reason i didnt get the achievement is coz my xbox froze. On the other posts on threads about this issue, most if not all of their xbox's froze at one point. On mine me and a mate did the whole thing through but at the very end mine froze but his didnt and he got the achievement and i didnt. Im going to redo the last mission 2moz and see if I get the achievement.

A new gamertag, or gamertag that hasn't played R6V1 needs to be signed in on the first controller.

Your gamertag (that has played Vegas 1) needs to be signed in on the second controller.

To be safe, you should boot R6V2 with the "new" gamertag before signing in your actual gamertag with the 2nd controller , though the step-by-step above don't call for this.

 

That was my thought. Thank you for clearing that up.

Jeez i wish i saw this topic before i posted a whole new thread about the acheivment!! ~slaps forehead~

Just an idea I had that I wanted to see if any one was insane enough to try.  If you have a lot of time on your hands couldn't you go around killing some hostages over and over again and rank down to PFC?  Would that work?  I suppose this would be more for people that haven't leveled too far just yet and still want to get it.

And nah i don't think this will work, i don't beleive you can go past 0Xp once you get a rank. So you can't go down ranks, only down in XP.

I am not sure how people are not getting the PFC achievement. I know when I first got the game. I got the achievement for the PFC rank. All I did was play in story mode the whole time.

Rainbow Six® Vegas
Not Played by Marine XS

^^ That's why.

Anyone who played R6V got some "bonus" XP upon booting R6V2, either ranking them to, or past, Private First Class, thus preventing the achievement from unlocking.

People who played the first Rainbow Six Vegas were rewarded with 1250 experience points as a returning player  which made us a PFC straight away but unforunately did not unlock the achievement.

That's because you never played the first game.  If you played the first game, you are rewarded for returning which supposely gives you the PFC achievement automatically but it doesn't.
