Subject: HELP : Headcase Achievement problems

hi all,

i'm trying to get the ODST headcase achievement on the prepare to drop mission, on easy with the famine and grunt birthday party skulls on.

i'm playing right through, including the cutscenes and training, upto where it loads in with buck and i can control him but i'm not getting the achievement. i've even tried a "save and exit" but that doesn't work either.

please can someone tell me where i'm going wrong?

cheers

Drop mission doesn´t cut it alone, play Buck´s mission and you´re set.

Think of the drop mission/level as a 2 part mission.
The 1st Part where you are palying as the "Rookie" do not really count towards much, think of it as intro/tutorial.
The 2nd part playing as "Buck", that´s where the "real" game/mission begins.

As Rotarii said, it has to be a flashback mission. For the achievement, you can turn any skull on, even the silver skulls. This achievement shouldn't be much of a problem if you turn on IWHBYD or Grunt Birthday Party.
