Subject: Can someone explain these achievement requirements for me?

First let me say that I already have all of the map-related DLC (Anniversary, Noble & Defiant). I downloaded two last night and the other a year ago.

So I was going for the "Both Barrels" achievement. I played Living Dead (in the theater it's referred to as Alpha Zombies) and the map that was selected was "Spooky Base" (which I assume is Sword Base).

Not only did I fulfill the requirements for that achievement (I got an overkill with the shot gun), but I was also the last man standing at one point. But nothing unlocked. I've read numerous places that you don't need to be on any particular map to unlock these achievements.

What did I do wrong?

My cousin got the Both Barrels achievement on Spooky Base and got the DMR achievement (where you have to kill someone from far away) on a Forge World map.

You mean her GT. Her Gamertag is Lady Snipershot. I might've gotten Both Barrels confused with Poppin' and Lockin' because she got that on a Forge map in the BTB playlist. But I know that she's rarely played on the Noble map pack and the Defiant pack.

In fact I don't think she's played on any maps that came with the Noble pack.

Actually, in correct use of English grammar, if the gender is not mentioned, the gender pronoun is always masculine.

I know that. I was just telling him that my cousin was female. Problem?

Well, unless burrito senior is illiterate, he could have inferred from the rest of your post that your cousin was a female.

No I meant him. Why wouldn't I assume the person was male?

I might've gotten Both Barrels confused with Poppin' and Lockin' because she got that on a Forge map in the BTB playlist. Actually I just checked. Both Barrels is a Noble 1 map. Come to think of it, I don't think those were map specific either.

What the hell do you want? Do you want an apology for a tiny little mistake? I hope to god you don't get all picky about the littlest things when you're at school, college or work.

I'm such an idiot. I got this achievement more than a year ago. LOL

I haven't played the game in a while (I really don't like Reach). I must have confused this achievement with another....but I AM an achievement whore :)
