Hey Ducky: How did you makeup the difference in score when you replayed Chattanooga on easy? (5000pt bonus for hard, 0 pt bonus for easy)

---

I'm cool cause I post my stats in my signature...Aren't you jealous of me? 5 Stars in Rep...oh wait you can see that.

I didnt make up the score difference. My score was actually lower and was not counted, but the achievement still unlocked. Basically I had gotten 30 kills with pistol when I played through on hard mode. After getting 70 (I think it was about 70) on easy on chattanooga it unlocked. Thats 70 in one play, you dont have to finish the level to unlock the achievement. If you dont get enough to unlock the achievement on one level it will not add them to your total. By that I mean, If you needed 70 more to get your achievement and only got 60 you would have to replay the level till you got 70 pistol kills. Does that make sense?

I also have  a theory that if you did this then played the next level and broke your original score (without loading a save or exiting to dashboard) that It may actually save that number of kills, but I cant test it, I have taken the game back already.

Code of Conduct

The only problem I can see with your theory at the end of the post, is that once you beat the first level I think it goes into the next one right away, so if you played it on easy you will be playing the next level on easy and therefore won't be ble to break your high score w/o the 5000pt bonus for Hard. Plus, beating it one hard w/o saving or loading a save would probably be damn tough, as I have yet to do it on any level (except maybe Shiloh.)

Thanks for the help, I had pretty much given up on this damn thing.

Just had a new idea I am going to try for the pistol. So I went through Chattanooga on hard and just sat at the beginning and killed 67 guys with the rifle (my original kill score on Hard.) At that point I ran through with the pistol (killing everyone) and sat at another spot (by the gattlin' guns) where guys keep spawning and wasted all my pistol ammo. Then I beat the level with about 147 kills, on hard so it saved casue I beat my oldhigh score. Now, I am going through and playing Chattanooga again. I did the same thing as before, sat in one spot and killed as many as I could w/ my rifle til I ran out of ammo. Basically I am going to try to get my original 147 kills with the rifle (I am at about 125 and about 2/3 through level) then will finish the level with the pistol after the 147 kills to add new kills with the pistol to my record. Lets see how many more kills I can squeeze out of this level, lol. Hopefully I will get my *&%$#$$^%)*(_)(*%%$ #E^%$^*&)$(*)& $% pistol achivement so I can work on the damn knife one.

Respawn Hints: 1. At the beginning of the level you are in a trench and if you look up guys will keep coming across this little bridge, you do have your own guys there too who will kill some, just be patient and you will get the amount you need. There is also another litte bridge like this about 50 yards down the trench, I ran back and forth between these during reloads. You will also find a box of rifle ammo behind you at the dead end of the trench at the very beginning of the level. 2. Like the one post said, there are 2 gattlin guns on the level, if you jump on them a bunch of guys will start attacking you, jump off and keep killing them until you get however many kills you need.

I'm not sure what the problem was but, I got it just fine. Just a hint that sword/saber doen't count as the Knife achievement. You have to use confederacy to get the knife and kill that way again & again.

If you beat the game on Hard before you get the achievement then you need to get the kills on Hard, and they need to be "new" kills over your original kills for that level, THAT is the problem. Have you tried to knife/pistol guys on Hard...

what if you have not beaten the game yet? I am currently about half way through the game on normal

Do it before you complete the game! Once you beat the game on Hard, you have to beat it on hard. I say work for the pistol/knife achivements and try to get them before you beat it.

thanks...got the knife achievement now just gotta get the pistol

I got the knife and melee ones last night.  I didn't stick to playing one map over and over, i just focused on using those types of killing methods whenever possible as i played through.  I got both by the end of the 4th North mission.

I got both of these last night. all I did was I used the knife and the pistol for the whole level then right before the end of the level I saved. then I finished the level. Went back and re-loaded my save. Both unlocked. I even got the 250 kills one and I only have 223 kills. I don't know why this happened but I am not complaining.

I think you just need to poop, you'll feel better.

Has anyone had any luck with the knife/pistol after beating it on hard? I spent about a week playing only this (a while back when I started this thread) but I was still not able to unlock it. I know for a fact that I got enough kills with each weapon to unlock it, as I kept a tally sheet. I just don't know what else to do. I have pretty much given up but figured I would post in here again to see if anyone had any new tips.

All this is true because I had to do it.  I beat the game on hard and had to go back for the pistoleer achievement.  What ever level of difficulty you beat the game on you will have to play at that level or higher.  Not only that you will have to have "new kills".  Example:  You have 60 kills on Bull Run.  The game will not record any kills by the pistol before 60.  Bull Run is where I got my Pistoleer achievement.  After you get the explosives go down the road until you come to the spot where the barrel rolls in to the fire and explodes.  To the right of the road are two Northern cannons.  Kill the soldiers there and more will keep replacing them.  Remember,  use every other weapon until you reach your previous max kill then go for head shot w/ the pistol.  As for the knife, good luck.

 

Try this.  Activision told me how the achievements work so I did this and it worked.

definitely worth a try, for anyone still trying to do this.  but when i went back to get them, i noticed my overall kill count didn't go up, but i still got them. fyi.

btw, seeing this thread again, really makes me miss this game.  would anyone else play a sequel?  perhaps complete with online mp this time??

Wow im glad i read all this before i beat the game. I had problems at all getting them before i beat it. Also the sword, without a doubt, counts toward the knife achievement as i used that for the final kill and got the achievement.

105 Games with all Achievements Unlocked

And Xbox Originals don't have Achievements, why?

I found it easy to get the knife achievement. I just played shilo on a harder level then I beat it on. Using only the knife I got the achievemnet in one and a half rounds.

so i've been working on the pistol and knife achievements, thinking that the melee would come easy after those, and i was on bull run when i shot a guy with the pistol, and then the melee achievement suddenly popped up. the last time i had meleed was probably 4-5 minutes before, so i don't know wtf this game thinks it's doing, but it definitely sucks.

I've got to get this game to get that ach.

I am not sure what the big deal is about these 2 achievements. I got both of them rather easily. I beat the game on normal difficulty not having gotten either one. I then played the game on easy. I just think that the death/method count is cumulative so a "different difficulty setting" and "new kills" are not a factor. I played Shiloh over and over again just using the knife and I got the achievement. I played Shiloh AGAIN using nothing but the pistol over and over and I got that achievement as well.

That's how I did it. I think the game save keeps track of how many you killed and with what weapon even though it does not display it on the stats. I wish it did.

I think you have to get all 100 pistol kills in one level.

Hey, Its Me Jericho

Been some months, I know, but does anybody have an update as to what works and what doesn't? Anybody still stuck at 950/1000, or did you figure it out? Going to try playing through Chattanooga on hard tonight for new kills, otherwise I'm out of ideas.

I think if you follow the same advise I gave for getting the general achievement...it should work.

As you play a level, the thing to do is simply hang around in every area you come to until no one else shows up. You'll probably be surprised at just how long they keep coming if you just wait around. This simple strategy got another player the general achievement in half a level. She was surprised at how fast it came up.

And as far as the pistol goes...just keep using it exclusively as long as it has ammo. And take the extra second to go for head shots. It will make your pistol ammo last a lot longer, and in the long run...will save you a lot of time as well since a single head shot will kill an enemy, while it can take 4 - 5 body shots. When you run out of pistol ammo, use another weapon 'til you pick up more...then switch back to  pistol again.

You can play on easy to make things as fast & easy as possible. I myself got the pistol & general achievements on easy.

I most certainly agree wholeheartedly that such a thing "should" work, but in the end I don't think anybody's quite yet figured out what exactly is happening with this game at all. I literally tried everything: erasing saves, continue without saving, saving to a new MU, getting all 100 kills on the same level, exploiting spawn points on every level so I could get "new" kills after matching my previous stats, etc etc and all on multiple levels and difficulties - over 30 hours I spent playing just trying to figure out how to get the pistol achievement. Playing through on the same difficulty level with which I beat the game (hard) at least allowed me to visibly increase my kill count, but 400 more kills later (always with the pistol of course) I still had no achievement (although now I'm 13th on the world leaderboard :P). However, a couple days ago I finally unlocked the stupid achievement using a method that should work for any glitched achievement in this game - and the best part is I found it completely by accident. Anyways, so if anybody wants to know how just send me a PM or XBL message :).

Ah...I didn't realize you were glitched.

Why didn't you just post that method you found here on this message board?

I'm not sure if it's a "good" or "bad" way to fix the glitch, if you know what I mean, so I didn't want to stir up any trouble by posting something inappropriate. It doesn't conflict with anything in the ToS agreement i.e. you still have to get the kills to get the achievement so playing the game isn't bypassed in any way, I just figured better safe than sorry.

BIG THANKS to radfannybandit as I got this achievement finally. And yes it is a little complex and not sure of the right/wrong of it so I'm not going to post it and will refer to radfannybandit as he discovered it. It does answer one thing which sucks as all your game data, ie kills, missions, levels, etc., are stored on the xbox live servers and not your individual console. I discovered this when I fired up the game on a brand new xbox console and noticed that all my stats were there given that I never played it on the 2nd console hence the stats are part of your xbox live gamertag.
