Subject: Why did I not get this achievement?

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world BURN.

Firefight: Windward.
Score over 200,000 points in Firefight on Windward.

As you can see from this record, I met the criteria for this achievement.

As you can see from this record, however, I did not GET the achievement.

Can anybody explain why?

Additional Details:

-The game was co-operative.
-The second player was a guest.
-Neither of us single-handedly got 200,000 points. Our totals add up to 201,106.
-We did not finish the round in which we got 200,000 points.

I like to play firefight but without MM it's kinda tough to find people who also like to play it semi-regularly. So if you are looking for someone to play with send me a FR. I have all the vidmaster achievements but don't have a problem in helping out...especially if you are doing endure. SC

I cant say for sure...but my guess is that you backed out before it could register. Next time make sure you get the achievement unlocked icon before you end the match. Sorry, but I would say you have to re-do it. If you want help send me a FR and Id be happy to help (I'm in the middle of a legendary run though so i can't right now).

We didn't back out, exactly. The entire match was won on a pretty fine line, and we were wiped out in the boss round within a minute of reaching 200,000. We will probably try again later this week, though. Thanks!

Hmm, that is strange. You should have been able to get the achievement.
Judging from your profile, you haven't been that successful at later attempts.

The man with a hammer begins to see everything he encounters as a nail

You get the achievement as soon as your score hits 200,000, so you must have been offline, disconnected, or quit before it registered.

Don't worry, we got it recently! Thanks for the support.
It's as if you helped me get it... In spirit...
