Subject: Achievements Won't Unlock

Well I've played some of the multiplayer and I've only been able to unlock the 3 headshots achievement as of the new achievements. I've tried the Dive Bomber achievement in several different ways but can't get it, prevented an enemy team from picking up the flag in 1-flag CTF, I've been the last man remaining in infection multiple times, and infected more than 3 enemies in a single round but I can't unlock ANY of those achievements. Are they bugged achievements or do I have to be playing on the Anniversary disc (doesn't make since some of those achievements are from the Defiant map pack)?

I think the problem may be that I have to play it on one of the Defiant/Anniversary maps, but that wasn't an issue with the earlier achievements, I could just get them on any map. Did they change that too?

I am pretty sure you have to play on the anniversary playlists to unlock them.

They are map specific, you can only do them on either a defiant or anniversary map.

For the 1 flag one, it needs to be on condemned and the other team can't even pick up the flag.

You have to play Anniversary/Defiant Map Pack Playlist to unlock any and all NEW achievements for MP/MM.

Those have to be done on defiant maps.
