Halo and Gears of War...best 2 Franchises in the world!!

I have tried to get the achievement for returning 2 flags in a matchmade game and i did it like in 3 games already and it isn't unlocked. What's going on?

I think you can do that one in custom games. I would just do it there. You just have to do it in a custom gametype which has Bungie as the author.

Stockpile.
Defiant: Capture two flags from an enemy capture zone in a matchmade Stockpile game.
the official wording.
Take the flags from an enemy score zone, and then score that flag in your own score zone. Twice in one game, on a Defiant Map.

I remember having a similar problem. CTF gametype.
It's either one or both of these:

1)You must begin returning it from the very start without leaving the flag for any reason (return meter)
2)You must only return it yourself

Likely the former.
Remember to do this for two.
Good luck!

So, can I get "You ate all the chips" in custom games, also?

I don't think so. I'm 99% sure it's only Defiant.

End it? What achievement are you talking about?

Candy from a baby

Candy from a baby
I'm pretty sure it will unlock once the two flags have been scored.

I just did Candy from a baby and Return to sender and it didn't unlock it; earlier i got return to sender in matchmaking and it didn't unlock either, what's wrong with that.

It has to be a special map (don't worry it's official) Sorry I didn't mention that
Hope this helps

The achievements from the Defiant map pack can be done in custom games. To do them, you must be playing in the gametype which is required and it has to have Bungie be the author of the gametype. I don't think it can be the gametypes which come pre-loaded in the game. You have to physically have a file type in your Reach memory somewhere which is the gametype saved either from matchmaking, or that you downloaded from another's file share.

From there, load up the game and do the achievement's requirements.

Any easy way to get "You ate all the chips"?

Not really I'm afraid :(
But here's a cut+paste from trueachievements.com:

This is much easier to do boosting, but all you have to do is collect all the flags on the map during one "round." Most maps have four flags, I believe. So basically, you have to capture the four flags at the same time. If you don't want to boost, get a good team together and communicate! You need people to get flags (I recommend two people working together, one to carry and one to defend) and people to defend flags once you get them back to your capture location. I suggest you place all the flags outside the capture location in case you do not get all four (or however many are on the map) before the countdown hits zero and starts over. It is a team effort, so everyone can capture the flags. Once all four are capture, the entire team will unlock the achievement. This achievement is NOT to capture all the flags that spawn on the map for the entire game of Stockpile (aka you do not need to win a game 10 to 0).

I didn't type this but I hope this helps!
