Subject: Question about achievements.

Do you need to be on one of the maps from a map pack in order to receive an achievement from a map pack?

I only ask because Reach allowed me to get 2 Defiant Achievements on an Anniversary map, but when I did the Last Man Standing(Defiant) and Infect 3 players (Anniversary) on Sword Base it did not give me the Achievements.

The new achievements are map specific as it says at the start of the achievement (anniversary or defiant)

The old defiant achievements (candy from a baby, return to sender, crackin skulls) could be done on any map and customs

The old noble could be done on any map except blew it up which is map specific (breakpoint)

These are images from the beta :)

noble's achievements were achievable only in matchmaking on any map, Defiant were unlockable both in matchmaking and custom games on any map too. Anniversary now have specific requirement like doing X on X map.

You can do Defiant's in custom? The description says in a matchmade game. Also, it doesn't specify any maps for the anniversary achievements.
