Achievement Guide & Roadmap

[Nozza x360a]

Think I'm done on the guide!

Over the last few days I've added a fair bit of info. Supersoldier achievement now has what best upgrades to buy, so I recommend using them if you want a smooth right!

I think I've added a fair few locations on where to grab the 'microwave' gun. So look out for them as most are near the end of the game!

I've updated most of the MP achievements with much better info. I've gained all achievements in the MP now, so I've had a good time to look at everything in detail and add it to the guide.

If there is anything else you guys think may need to be added or fixed just let me know, but I'm quite happy with the outcome!

Happy hunting!

Has no one realized some of the map names are wrong

I think this waiting 6 month thing has been discussed a lot and I have figured out why it could be less than March 23rd to September 23rd. I think people are saying that Crysis is considering a month 30 days and they aren't taking in to consideration that some months have 31 days. I think it makes sense and I think it would be much more difficult to program the game to count months as there actual length instead of just a basic 30 days.

It's way easier to program months versus 30 day periods.

The game has to save your original save date. (03/22/11). It then unlocks the achievement when the month that you originally played on increases by 6, so (09/22/11). That's a few lines of code. Otherwise, it would need to count (6x30) 180 days from the day you started, which makes less sense to me at least.

I'll be signing in on september 22nd. You can discuss however you like, but if I'm proven wrong, I don't really care, that just means that Crytek are tool bags who don't know how to count months properly.

[AreUPokey]

Let me throw an alternate suggestion in the 6 months debate.
Crytek may simply be using the general month distinction as opposed to specific days. So if you play any day in the month of March the game considers that month 1. Six months later is September. In this scenario you would simply need to login on September 1st to be counted as having played 6 months later.

TBH, there's no way I'm going to know if I've/we've got the right description until the time comes!

All I'm going to do is take all theories under my wing and try them! So I'm going to log in on Sept 1st, the 23rd and the 25th depending on when it unlocks! I'm then safe guarding myself.

Doing the way you think is the right way would be a silly thing to do unless the truth behind it all came out. Saying it'll be silly for Crytek to do it this way may lose you the achievement at the end of the day!

Be clever and safe and do it on all 3 possible dates it may unlock! I'm going to edit that into the guide to make it clear!

Great guide Nozza cheers

I don't know if it was overlooked, or if you simply don't need to unlock it. But what about the Flashbang? Do you need to unlock it for the cheevo?

I though the flash bang was automatically unlocked?

If not then yes. To get the achievement you must buy EVERYTHING that was originally locked!

Unless the game hates me, it's locked from the start

Thanks for clarifying.

Flashbang (Nova 17 or something) is locked at the start.

"M34 Flash Bang (Concussion Grenade)"

[Nozza x360a]

Well I've added it in. I think because it actually unlocked with the default classes it was a bit confusing.

I've completed the game except for 2 achievements, So I've think I've got all possible information down. Unless there's anything minor I think its done!

Thanks for all the help!

Before I say anything great guide

I've kinda put my self in a hard position, I'm trying to get jack of all trades, I only need the Instant action win, but I'm level 24 and kinda finding it tough to win a game as most are full and have pretty high level players. In hind sight I should have played when I was low level in the beginners type match. Anyone know if private match wins count??

edit: private matches don't count as far as I can see, and lucky enough after posting this I won an instant action,lmao

Yeah I stated in the Roadmap that they can't be gained in a PM (best to read it before you start the game), but I've now added this:

These cannot be gained by playing in a Private Match.

To each achievement it'll relate to.

-----------

There seems to be 2 glitches going around at the moment. So I've now added in the 'Glitches' part to the Roadmap. So please read it before you proceed.

Thanks Nozza, Great guide!

i got the TRY ME achievement on 4/2/11.


if i play multiplayer just to get the DOGS TAGS, say 4/13/11, does that reset from 4/2/11 to 4/13/11 or what.

[stig360]

Guide was really useful, I will have the game finished soon. It was overrated but I didn't mind it.

[Dz06lt]

maximun module, what is the "max level" some people have said 3 but it sure looks like there are 6 unhighlited blockes under each.

[jamie1000013]

Great guide but for the Sempa fi or die achievement can you add how many marines you have to have alive at the end to get the achievement?

[Dz06lt]

i think its 4, just run ahead of them and do your best

I think it is 3. I know there's un-highlighted ones, but after you get 3 they're just extras I think. I got it once I reached the 3rd bar.

I don't actually play the game anymore so I wouldn't know. To my knowledge I'm guessing there's about 2 you need to really make sure that they don't die and they're both right at the bottom fighting.

Though it could be just the one guy who's no the turret. if he dies, then restart! The guys you start off with should be able to handle themselves but don't take anything for granted!

In your Modern Art description, you talk about the dog tags taken from in-game opponent kills. These do not count towards the 150 tags to unlock this achievement, these in-game pick ups only count towards "The Collector".

Thanks for the guide

The description:

To unlock the Mystery set you need to collect in match Dog Tags from your downed opponents. Once you've collect some, the figure will be shown in the bottom right corner of the Mystery tab. When you have some to unlock some Displays, simple hoover over a tile and press A to reveal and unlock it.

No where in there do I say the Dog Tags you get from downed opponents go towards the achievement. I do say collecting them can be used to get new DTD's that then goes towards the achievement, but nothing about them specifically going towards it.

[TheToiletBrush]

Then what you wrote was not clear.

I haven't changed it since I originally made the guide. Its clear and with no mistakes...

I'll break it down for you:

To unlock a Mystery Dog Tag Displays (DTDs) you need to obtain downed enemy Dog Tags while you play online. Once you've acquired one, the total will be shown in the bottom right hand corner. If you've grabbed one DT then you have one to unlock a Display.

Collecting the in match Dog Tags (from downed enemies, by your gun) do not go towards the achievement 'Modern Art'. I think you're either not realising that the Dog Tags and Dog Tag Displays are two completely different things or just not reading it correctly.

[Dz06lt]

So can someone post exactly what levels do you get unlock points.

What do you mean by 'points'. Question doesn't make sense...
