For the achivements that you need to play as a human 100 times, elf 100 times etc... Is that 100 rounds or matches?

100 games (not rounds).

We are still slightly unclear how many rounds will count as a game, i.e., if you join a game in the 10th or 11th round, will it count?

I didn't get a triple rez this morning, but I got the achievement after revving only two people at the same time when I've done this a ton of times.

I also got the acheivement when ressing two people. I think if you res three people within a certain amount of time, it will pop. For me, the third one was out of reach so I hit two people then the third one immediately after. That did it. I'm not saying it will work for everyone, but it worked for me. ;)

I have put in a total of 35 hours as an elf from Monday to today. That would mean I've played at least 70 games. I'm sure I've played a lot more than 70 games. Mind you, this was going by 1 every thirty minutes so 2 an hour. So, I'm pretty sure that I should have my achievement.

Secret Achievments Revealed

Shadowrun Fever (25) Catch it!        "Teabagger achievment"
This is a viral achievment. You must kill and tea-bag someone who already has this achievment. Tea-bagging is standing on their face and pressing the left-thumbstick(crouch) thus making the ball-to-face connection. Repeat as desired for massive damage to the teabagged player's ego. Try not to get killed whilst teabagging as this will invetably lead to a fierce teabagging retaliation. The devs started with this achievment, so that's how the fever got started. Virtual herpes 4tw! This achievment unlocks the FASA logo gamerpic (the one I'm using at the time of posting). Some people have been having trouble getting this one. I'm pretty sure you have to actually have to be the person who scores the kill to teabag the infected person. And no, I'm not joking about this achievment =).

Triple Rez! (10) Resurrect three allies at once.
Fairly self explanatory. Note that you can move around while res is casting, if your teammates weren't considerate enough to die in a tight little bunch. You could also gust the bodies closer together. Benefits of ressing more than one person at a time is that it only holds the base amount of essence no matter how many people you res in one cast! P.S. Having res in attrition games is absolutely required. Please pick it up first round unless you're a troll.

Winning Streak (10) Win ten consecutive rounds.
This carries over game-to-game, obviously. Some have reported that if you are teamswitched whilst working towards this achievment you may have your counter reset. Also remember that the 4 v 4 actual gamertags rule has to be met during the whole streak or your counter will likely get reset.

Godlike (25) Kill all opposing players on other team without taking damage (at least 6 enemies).
per PsycheOutCyrus . Most suggest using the sniper rifle for this one. This achievment is quite difficult, but resist the urge to boost in a private match as others have done - Achievments are meant to be earned.

Master Gardener (25) Kill 5 enemies with strangle. (per TheBoogeyman209)
Strategies for this achievment include - mortally wounding an enemy with the katana and then laying strangle for him to die in (per the purple pwny). Alternatively, as RNA, use strangle to hold down the flag in raid, wait for them to teleport in (Power station works good for this one) and then shoot them up just enough to not kill them and let the strangle finish them off. In extraction, watch the flag, shoot up any potential grabbers and then lay down strangle to finish 'em off. Note the game must report that "Xenocidic killed n00bface with strangle"

Master Ninja (100) Inflict one hundred mortal wounds with the Katana.
Go through elf-training to learn how to deal a mortal wound. Your enemy must be unawares of your prescence as indicated by the "?" (question mark) over their head. Arterial spray from the carotid artery is what you need to look out for to confirm you've dealt a mortal wound. 
As far as I know, as long as you do land the mortal wound (i.e. you see them start to bleed out) whether or not that person dies by bleeding out, you or a teammates kills him, he gets ressed, or the round ends, you still get credit towards this achievment.
My strategy for earning this achievment was to use Elf, and purchase abilities in this order - Ressurect, Smoke, Enhanced Vision, Teleport. Res first to earn money and help your team, EV to scout the enemies and TP to get behind them. Smoke for escape.
dzs Awezome reported that this achievment can be unlocked by killing someone who ressed someone else - whoever they ressed will begin bleeding out and the game will count this as a mortal wound. This is proven by people who have unlocked this achievment without using the katana much. Confirmation of this by Decestation v2 in this thread.

Mod Edited: Profanity is prohibited in the forums!

There's been a lot of questions on how to unlock achievments, as some of the explanations are vague, and some of the achievments can be quirky. This is my fourth (and final) attempt to clear up the confusion.

Note this is being called v4.20, as someone posted an acheivment guide inappropriately titled v4.0, which has nothing to do with my series of guides.

Thanks to anyone who explained these in other threads, or v1.0 , v2.0 & v3.0 of this thread, allowing me to compile this authoritative list. Please feel free to chime in on the ones we're still a little unsure about, post strategies for particular achievments, or ask for clarifications if required. Your assistance in keeping this thread on the first page would also be appreciated =). Here's hoping this final version is polished enough for a sticky...

General Information

* You must be connected to LIVE (except training achievments)
* You must be in a game with at least 4 actual gamertags on each team (bots do not count, nor does a 5v3, 6v2, etc.)
* Team kills do not count towards achievments such as Ressurector, or the "kill" achievments such as Elf Bane, Popgun, etc.
* Achievments do unlock even if the server quits before the end of the game (and any progress made towards achievments is registered).
( * paraphrased from http://forums.xbox.com/12993269/ShowPost.aspx )
- Achievments can be earned in private matches that fulfill the above requirements, unless stated otherwise in the achievment description. That being said, achievments should be earned, not boosted.

Achievments Explained

100 Wins (100) Win 100 games during your Shadowrun career. 
This means games, not individual rounds. [ unclear if joining a game in progress after several rounds have already passed would grant the win ,  though I assume it does ]

3 for the Price of 1 (25) Kill three enemies with one grenade.
Hint: use enhanced vision to look for tight groups of enemies.
Possible quirk: I'm pretty sure that when I unlocked this achievment, the grenade I threw only killed 2 people. The third had been ressed by one of those and bled out. can anyone else verify they got the achievement in this fashion?

Assistant (20) Get a 5:1 damage-to-kill ratio.
This means you dealt enough damage to kill "X" enemies but only killed "X div by 5" enemies i.e. you either had a lot of your kills stolen or a lot of the damage you dealt got healed. Under combat stats you can view your damage integer for that game. Shoot (no pun intended) for at least 5.0 with only 1 kill or a similar ratio (10.0 to 2, etc).

BFF (20) Play Public Match in a Party with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
You need to party with someone playing on the opposite platform. Vista players on your friends list will have a PC icon next to their name.

Blowhard (10) Gust 5 enemies to their deaths.
Either gust them off a cliff or gust a smoked enemy to death. This is a career achievment (i.e. does not have to be completed in a single round/game). eck52 reported that shooting an enemy so they run off a ledge will also count towards this achievment. This has been confirmed by myself as I got this achievment in a game that I did not buy gust, but shot someone such that they fell to their death i.e. game reported "Xenocidic forced n00bface to fall to their death".

Brother From Another Mother (20) Perform a cross-platform Resurrection.
Cross-platform means a 360 player resses a Windows Vista player or vice-versa.

Healer (10) Save your allies with the Tree of Life.
Heal 50 pips with your Trees of Life in one round (per Vigor cA). Health is divided into rectangular blocks - a pip is one block of life.  Healing you do to yourself doesn't count towards this achievment. Throwing a tree for teammates who are bleeding out is a good way to work towards this achievment (per mattinater). Also, try to be the dedicated tree-thrower for your team.

Heavy Smoker (10) Ignore a great deal of damage using Smoke.
You must be in smoke for a total of 60 minutes. (confirmed by Vigor cA). This is quite obviously a career achievment.  watch out for gusters!!!  =)

Master Thief (25) Deliver the Artifact untouched despite heavy defense.
Score flag without taking damage and at least four enemies within 20m of the score zone (per Vigor cA).
tip from MaDzMaN , "Just try and do it on a map where there are various ways to get to the extraction point... I got mine on Maelstrom, i delivered it behind everyone by jumping up those 3 floating blocks that lead up to the VTOL..."

Mine Is The Superior Platform (50) Kill 100 players on the opposite platform.
If you are on 360, kill 100 Vista players and vice versa. If you're having trouble finding 100 Vista players to kill, why not try and borrow Shadowrun for PC from someone and kill 100 Xbox360 players? =) Alternatively, try to arrange a private match of at least 4 360 players vs 4 Vista players. This would not be considered boosting as long as the matches were played legitimately, i.e. both teams attempt to win, etc.

Resurrector (10) Bring back one hundred allies from the dead
Pro tip: Practice using the B-radial menu to quickcast and ressurect enemies even while under heavy duress. Hold down B, move the left thumbstick left, and upleft and pull the right trigger to cast ressurect. This way res does not take up a spot on your assigned buttons and you can still get that warm fuzzy feeling that comes from being a good team player.

Runner (10) Carry the Artifact all the way to the delivery point. 
You must pick it up at the start location and deliver it the whole way. You cannot pick it up mid-way or drop it and repick it up. If you're having trouble getting try using an elf with wired reflexes on the first round of extraction and just make a mad dash for the flag. Typically in the first round base defenses aren't shored up yet.

Small World (20) Play Public Match with players on both XBox 360 and Windows Vista.
You should get this achievment without effort as long as you're playing public matches. Vista players on your friends list are indicated by a PC icon next to their name.

Teleporter (10) Teleport one hundred times. 
This is a career achievment i.e. you don't have to do it all in one game.

That's One Frustrated Sniper (10) Block ten sniper shots with Wired Reflexes.
Wired reflexes has to be assigned to be active. It will attempt to block the shot on its own as long as you are facing the sniper. This is a career achievment.

That Was Close (20) Kill the Artifact carrier less than ten meters from the delivery point, and win the round.  
You can either deliver the artifact yourself or elminate the rest of the team , as long as you've fulfilled the 10 meter requirement. For our American brothers, 10 meters is about 33 feet. 

Unstoppable (50) Kill ten enemies in a row without being killed.
This will carry over from round to round and webnerd has reported that it carries over from game-to-game. Many people report having a lot of trouble getting this one to unlock. According to the official achievment faq, only initial kills count towards this achievment (not ressed people on their second life). Furthermore, the counter is currently bugged and being reset if you die (a fix is in the works). Until the fix, once you kill 10 people on their first life without dying you need to not get killed (read: hide) until the game ends. Due to the initial kill requirement, I would suggest shooting for at least 15 kills and no deaths.

Well-Traveled (20) Play a Public Match on each map. 
You must play both the small and large versions of the maps in order to unlock this achievment. Some claim that you must also win on each map, though I can't verify as I unlocked this achievment a while ago. This is one you shouldn't really stress about, it will happen on its own whilst you work towards other achievments. For a list of maps, go to matchmaking preferences.

You're Coming With Me (25) Avenge your own death!  
This means you were ressed and killed the person who killed you, or you threw a grenade right before you died, and that grenade ended up killing them, or any other combination of you being killed and somehow killing that person after the game reports your death (in the same round). Killing someone who has made you bleed out will not count as you haven't actually died yet. Also note that if you kill someone else simultaneously i.e. you both shot eachother dead at the same time , it won't count.

Zombie Scores! (20) Deliver the Artifact while bleeding out
Your resser is killed by an enemy and you deliver the artifact before bleeding out and dying yourself. Does not work if you get mortally struck with a katana and then deliver it before dying, also seemingly will not work if your resser commits suicide or your initial death was a team-kill.

Training Achievments

For all the training achievments you need to do the bot match and you must win the bot match game. The difficulty setting does not make a difference. (Apparently you dont have to do the actual training, or so I've been told, I assume as a nod to the beta testers who wouldn't need training)

Chapter 1 Training (10) Complete Chapter 1 Training.
Chapter 2 Training (10) Complete Chapter 2 Training.
Chapter 3 Training (10) Complete Chapter 3 Training.
Chapter 4 Training (10) Complete Chapter 4 Training.
Chapter 5 Training (10) Complete Chapter 5 Training.
Chapter 6 Training (10) Complete Chapter 6 Training.

Obtaining all six training achievments will unlock the Troll gamer picture.

Dwarf Scourge (10) Kill one hundred enemy Dwarves. 
Elf Bane (10) Kill one hundred enemy Elves. 
Trollhammer (10) Kill one hundred enemy Trolls

I'm fairly certain that it's tallied and recorded at the end of every round, as evidenced by the fact that if the server quits, you will still unlock whatever achievments you've earned thus far in the game.
