Everything comes to he who waits, quicker yet to he who takes.

Ok, 2 questions, first one has possible SPOILERs



1. For Digitial man, does it matter that I get everything before I decide to work with the Chinese or AN or can I still get everything after im done with that.
2. For the billion dollar achievement, your wager just keeps getting bigger each time as you do the winch challenge, right?

EDIT: Oh, for the 50 driver kills, I think you actually have to do it with a sniper rifle, thats the only thing I can think of as I should have it by now also.

1) I would just to be on the safe side. I have 22/100 spare parts and I have the IGN map so I will be confused on what one's I have and don't. So in my opinion yes you should, the High Value targets and outposts make sure you get all those first before you complete any missions, remember there are 4 for each faction except for the Pirates UN and PMC.

2) Yes. People get confused because the keep making the wager high and get stuck at $5 Million DON'T do that. Just keep hitting accept and your money will grow $200,000 each time. I got up to $40 million before I got my billionaire achievement.

Billion Dollar Babies 20G: Earn $1 Billion
Do the winching challenge back at the PMC. Ok now this is were people get confused, when you go talk to the helicopter pilot and you hit the challenge HIT ACCEPT EVERYTIME DO NOT change the wager, if you do you will just be suck at $5 Million and the wager won't go up. Keep hitting Accept and the wager will go up $200,000 each time. I got all the way up to $45 Million in 1 go before I unlocked this achievement. You will have it in no time.

For this one^^^^ are you saying that I should not change the wager? or I should change it to the maximum. Also when you said one time do you mean like you did the challange once and Bam 45 mil, or you just kept doing it until you go that much?

Don't change the wager. Keep hitting accept and your money will rise ex: $1.2Mill $1.4Mill $1.6Mill $1.8Mill $2Mill and so on and so forth but what I was referring to, is when you keep hitting accept your money will get that high making the Billion dollar achievement easy as pie.

Nice.

 Back at the PMC. There is your Helicopter Pilot (forget his name) you have to recruit him by beating one of his challenges. View your map, find him, do one of his challenges and your set.

Hey guys looking for someone to do the online co-op achievements with.  Send me a friend request with Mercs 2 in the text and I'll accept so we can get to blowing **** up haha.  Thanks guys.

Can the the later missions for the Chinese or AN effect if you can get spare parts(Pretty much, if I do something for one faction will I still be able to go anywhere on the map? I heard if you do the Chinese one that you can't go near the AN HQ anymore since its not on the radar.

 Yea that's true. Just try and get everything before hand Make sure you make 2 saves before you go out on your hunt for them so if you mess up. You still have the original save.

This achievement is for achieving maximum mood with the AN. When I was at the PMC and I got the Introduction to AN and the Chinese from Fiona, right after her speech I got the achievement for achieving maximum Chinese mood. So I looked at my stats and saw I had maximum AN mood also yet I didn't get the achievement for it. So I thought ok this is odd, so I went to AN and did two outpost missions for them and still nothing!!
How do you get it? And When did you get the achievement?
Help plz!!

It came naturally, do all the outposts and missions for that faction. You won't have a chance to go back when you beat the game.

Great guide :)

If you mean how to complete it, you need to winch something into the circle and then winch the object onto the top of the thing you brought into the circle. It just needs to be higher than 5m. So just use one of the containers that are right next to the circle.

I've killed quite a few drivers using rifles with no achievement so I'm thinking you really do have to use a sniper rifle.

 You have to use the American 50cal sniper. It can be found at the AN (Allies) Apparently the Chinese sniper kit doesn't work.

So, in regards to this "achievement glitch", and how to resolve it by first manually saving, then quit out to your dashboard with ethernet cable unplugged, I have a couple questions.

Is this "glitch" referring to the money earned only, or is it random glitches throughout the game that you have to do that? If that's the case, that would be a big pain in the a$$, since I don't pay attention to the "achievements" when I get them.

In co-op, specifically for the $ glitch ... Does that mean, when you and your partner accumulate $1 Million / Billion dollars, you both have to back out to get the achievement? I've read that some people said the co-op achievements come, but don't pop-up while playing, and the 1-Player achievements, if you didn't get them, you need to do the whole back out thing to achieve them.

Either way, how is a game released like this? And by such a big-name company? I don't think I've ever came across a game where either the achievements never come, you have to back out to dashboard to retrieve achievements, or sometimes I've heard people get like 9 achievements at once ... WOW. Speaking of EA and their "awesome" servers, I just came across a review and such of a "free" online game for the PC that follows the lines of Battlefield, I guess. But "free" means there will be a good load of people playing, and with EA and their awesome server capability, this is probably not a good sign. Here's a link to the official site where you can see more information and the newest released video: Battlefield Heroes.
