How do I get Anniversary achievements? I got Last Man Standing in Infection and I also got the one where you infect 3 humans in one round, but I wasn't awarded those achievements. Is there a special map I have to do or....

The Anniversary achievements are the ones that say Anniversary: bla bla bla, right?

One would assume you had to do it on the Anniversary maps...

They need to be on Anniversary maps.

They have to be done on either an Anniversary Map, or a Defiant Map. It depends on if the Achievement is labeled as Anni or Defiant.

This is 343's retarded idea to make them map specific... the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It makes some of the achievements nigh impossible to get as they have taken out the maps/gametypes where some of them need to be done...

But how do you do Matchmaking Infection on Anniversary maps?

All the achievements that came with the anniversary maps have to be done on either Anniversary or Defiant maps. Each achievement says which it has to be on. The last man standing one must be done on a defiant map, and the 3 infections in one round must be done on an anniversary map.

It comes up in the Anniversary FFA playlist.

You have to hope and pray that every single random player in the lobby has the necessary map packs. If even one person in the lobby doesn't have the Defiant or the Anniversary Map Packs, then the requisite maps will never show up in the rotation.

That's one of the big reasons that 343 making Achievements map specific is such a horrible idea.

On the off chance that you see a Defiant map once in a hundred games, no one votes for them because the 343 and Certain Affinity's maps all suck so damn badly.

So... good luck getting the achievements. You might be better off getting twelve friends together, all of whom have the Defiant and Anniversary Map Packs, and get them that way.
