No it doesn't - there's an Infection playlist - it was taken out of RP.

Doing these achievements just on Defiant and not Anniversary is complete BS. They should have had them on all the DLC maps. Completely frustrated with this as the MM playlists do not require DLC.

I played infection in an 8 man free for all game. I think you are wrong, but it could be me that's confused lol maybe its only available in anniversary FFA not standard rumble pit.

Just so you guys know and can update the main post. The CTF achievement for Defiant (can't remember what it's called) can NOT, I repeat CAN NOT, be unlocked on 1-Flag CTF Pro. I skimmed through the pages and didn't see anyone mention it, so I figured it'd be a good idea to say that me and my buds got lucky enough to have Condemnation come up with 1-Flag CTF Pro during 4v4 Objective and we absolutely obliterated the other team (read: they never even got close enough to think about touching the flag) and it didn't unlock. Three hours of boosting later, and I didn't even once get the right map/game type. I am very disappoint.

[Fireball6554]

I just got 3 infections in a round on Sword Base, and it didn't unlock so I came on here and now I know it has to be map-specific.

343, I am dissapoint.

was this in anniversary FFA, or just standard rumble pit? because i have been doing rumble pit, and have been having a hell of a time trying to get infection to come up at all let alone on Condemned. this is the last achievement i need...

[Iceman9482]

It is the same for me, I have had it on condemned once and was zombie twice in that game. It pissed me off so much!

[Iceman9482]

Just was reading over at TrueAchievements, and there is a method, that if you do somehow get into an infection on condemned. and your human, unplug your ethernet and plug it back in, you will then be in your own game and automatically get the achievement. Not exactly the most Fair way of getting it but it is a bitch achievement.

Same here. I tried for 3 hours and nada in Rumble pit. Maybe I'll try Anniv, FFA later for infection. I remember playing 1 infection FFA in Anniv. but it was an Anniv. map.

but you did get infection on condemned in the rumble pit playlist, correct?

[lifeexpectancy]

Well I do recall we did infection in the Anniversary FFA playlist, but as for the regular rumble pit playlist I can't honestly recall if infection came up. I highly suggest deleting the noble and anniversary map packs and playing in the standard 12 man infection playlist and just pray everyone in your game has the defiant maps.

If you are fed up with doing it legitimately, get a few friends with a few controllers each and just play Infection. Get a kill or two with each guest and you will be fine. You won't get banned for 2 or 3 games of doing this. I know that for a fact. And on the bright side even if u get a temp credit ban, who cares? Just play something else for a week. At least you will be done with this PITA achievement.

[LaVey666]

Edit: done!

Takes awful forever to find an infection match for the defiant zombie achievement even with removing the other map packs cause dumbasses pick the crap forge maps like Caged and e.t.c.

And actually you cant delete the anniversary maps, or the new defiant achievements wont work (or is it the other way around, i think it says it in the OP). Either way, as life just said, the best way is through the infection playlist. That being said, i am gonna try to start a group to get this achievement. I know there are still a couple of people that need this achievement (among others), so FR me if you need it still. I will be glad to help out with the other new achievements as well. I wanna try to get this done tomorrow (wednesday) at the earliest. Msg me over live and we'll talk.

EDIT: DONE!!

I'm verifying that you CAN get "Don't Touch That!" on 1 Flag CTF Pro. I just did about 5 minutes ago.

[EliteLeafHater]

no i was so close to the headhunter achievement barely outside the ring

As someone who has tried it several times, I must disagree with you.

Another poster confirmed that he did in fact get the defiant achievements after he deleted the anniversay maps. He had already unlocked a couple anniversary achieves then deleted them, played a defiant map, and unlocked an achievement. You only need to have downloaded the anniversary maps (so it tags the achievements as available to you presumably).

Since there are conflicting reports, before I edit olthe OP it would be good if we could get confirmation in the Don't Touch That in 1 Flag CTF pro issue. Do any boosters have a dummy gold account that they can try it on to confirm that it works?

I can confirm that 1 Flag Pro on condemned does count as it just unlocked for us and none of us touched the flag once.

I can also confirm that deleting anniversary works.

I don't know anything about CTF Pro but I just did a 1 Flag CTF on Highlands and prevented the other team from touching the flag at all. The achievement didn't unlock. Can it only be on Condemned?

It has to be on a Defiant map. I dunno off hand if highlands was part of the defiant map pack. Just play it safe and play team objective and look for 1flag CTF or 1 flag CTF pro on condemned.

[Boris077]

If anyone wants to boost/help one another to get these bloody anniversary/defiant achievements I'm online right now.
If you can't make it now then we can try another time.

Yeah, Highlands is part of the Defiant map pack. Looks like you can only get it on Condemned, unless anyone can vouch for getting it on Highlands.

Also, how many times can I quit before I get a ten minute ban? I have been just going into the Living Dead playlist and quitting out until a Defiant map pops up.

[MixMaker1]

Keep in mind - the December playlist update will increase, drastically, the DLC maps that appear among all the various playlists. Should be MUCH easier to get the game types.

[BaNgIn HeAdS]

I'll believe that when I see it.

[MixMaker1]

From the update:

We’ve adjusted the Matchmaking algorithm to match players who have DLC with other players who have DLC more often than in the past. We’ve also upped the weighting for DLC in our playlists so that you’ll see the DLC in your voting options more frequently. Also, remember that all of the Anniversary maps have been added to the majority of the playlists. The combination of these things means that you’re going to be able to enjoy your premium DLC in Matchmaking much more often than ever before.

[BaNgIn HeAdS]

Again, I don't care what they say. I'll believe it when I see it. The update just happened and I went from at least playing on Defiant maps every time and hoping to get 1 flag to back to playing regular maps every single game and hoping to even see a Defiant map. They made it harder.

[lifeexpectancy]

Just boost them man. There is NO shame in boosting ridiculous achievements that require a ton of luck just to get the right combination of map and gametype to even be able to TRY for it. Find some people in the boosting thread that have the maps, get together, and get it done.

[Viper187]

This is completely insanity. Definitely looking to boost the armor lock and infection Defiant ones. I had a full party of 8 trying to get the damn defiant maps to come up in rumble pit for an hour or so and never got one. They all got bored and left.
