	Comment #2 by Hurricane Of 87 Friday, December 21, 2012 @ 10:35:05 AM Yeah, I think 'optional' implies that you don't need to do them. ¬_¬ Depends if you have to go out of your way to find them (Dead space isn't known for it's open-world-ness) or if you're assigned them during your missions like Assassin's Creed.

	Comment #4 by CxHxUxD Wednesday, December 26, 2012 @ 10:00:30 AM Sounds interesting! I can not wait to check this out!

	Comment #5 by ShpioOn Friday, December 28, 2012 @ 11:10:10 AM Can't wait for this!!

	Comment #6 by freaks Tuesday, January 01, 2013 @ 10:13:46 AM Oh god! Sidequests!!! I'm gonna LOVE that game!

	Comment #7 by Ink129 Saturday, January 05, 2013 @ 11:33:05 AM There's always the danger that these missions are boring "fetch-quests", but I sure hope this isn't the case. Interested in how this is going to turn out. Arh, February still seems so far away :(

	Comment #8 by Pyaxi Friday, January 25, 2013 @ 04:01:55 AM Side missions?! I did not expected that coming.... Hope it gonna be interesting...

	Comment #9 by LiQuiD 87 Wednesday, February 06, 2013 @ 07:10:33 AM assuming we can go off mission course for optional side missions, bigger mappage to explore :)

	Comment #10 by TheSipuli91 Friday, February 08, 2013 @ 03:16:40 PM Blegh, they're a pain to do alone and some require a co-op partner which I don't (yet) have. But seriously, I don't need even 1/3 of the med & statis packs in the main missions as I do in the optional ones. Constant huge hordes and those bigger fellas with pickaxes or something aren't helping at all.

	Comment #11 by darkmikasonfire Monday, February 11, 2013 @ 09:26:31 PM Easy way to destroy people, set up a double shotgun, you can almost max all the stats with a fully done heavy elite frame. -OR- you can go double bolus gun, one normal fire, one 'land mine' fire. both are so powerful, I pretty much beat the whole game just using the shotty, I don't like the bolus but people have stated how good it is.

	Comment #12 by Angel4711 Tuesday, February 12, 2013 @ 11:09:16 PM Do you have to do all of the side missions in one play-though? I can't find this answer, anywhere. I'm on my 2nd play-through and did some side missions the first time and would rather not have to do them again.

	Comment #13 by Kelly miester Wednesday, February 13, 2013 @ 02:25:07 AM @Angel4711 I don't believe that they do. But your new game + file should on a different slot from your first playthrough. You can load it up and replay a chapter, it should tell you what you have missed and you can collect all the collectibles or replay the optional missions.

	Comment #14 by PledgedZebra4 Wednesday, February 13, 2013 @ 08:48:58 PM @12 It IS on one playthrough, but remember you can replay chapters at any time (and if you picked up the item leading to the mission you can choose the optional mission from "chapter select"). I did my first playthrough solo, then, on new game +, did only the main story and co-op missions. The achievement didn't pop and under "progress & unlocks" it shows those optional missions I missed during my second playthrough as incomplete.

	Comment #15 by Ashwee Thursday, February 14, 2013 @ 07:23:40 PM To get this achievement, do you have to do the Co-op missions too? Or can you just do all the solo missions and get it?

	Comment #16 by Eleriel Saturday, February 16, 2013 @ 12:36:29 PM #15. yeah, you have to do the co-op missions too. (the only unlockables you can get by singleplayer alone are the difficulties, the unitology-, S.C.A.F.-, and Alien Artifacts).

	Comment #17 by Eleriel Saturday, February 16, 2013 @ 12:38:25 PM #14 new game+ is considered a whole new playthrough. the only thing that carries over are the collectibles you've discovered (and weapons and resources)

	Comment #18 by A Real Psycho Monday, February 18, 2013 @ 06:46:09 AM Looking for a co-op partner :) message me if u wanna do the whole game and get all achievements. GT: DarkShadow ohh I'm online now havent finished the game on solo yet CH 10 :P

	Comment #19 by Meangeorge Friday, February 22, 2013 @ 10:45:33 AM I could use a little help with all the co-op achievements Gt Meangeorge II

	Comment #20 by CptWesker87 Monday, February 25, 2013 @ 07:48:13 AM i'll need help with this i'll be online at 1300 est this comments get post on pst i think

	Comment #21 by CptWesker87 Monday, February 25, 2013 @ 07:53:18 AM ok so this comments are posted on central time

	Comment #22 by cokebabies Monday, March 04, 2013 @ 04:26:38 PM If you do all the solo optional missions in Classic Mode, you do NOT need to do the co-op missions in order to get the achievement. I can personally confirm this, as mine popped last night in Classic.

	Comment #23 by GMFRK Wednesday, March 06, 2013 @ 04:27:33 PM I can confirm with #22 seeing as classic is single player only so you only have to do a total of 7 missions instead of the 10 (think it was 10) I actually didn't know about this till I noticed it randomly pop up when I was completing the disposal mission (and then there were 3 of those things, oh god...)

	Comment #24 by LilFuniAZNBoi Thursday, April 04, 2013 @ 06:58:42 PM Does anyone else want to do this coop with me?

	Comment #25 by ParadoxReal8 Tuesday, May 14, 2013 @ 09:47:26 PM I got the achievement for all coop-mission but the last one on mission 14 did not enter... Is it glitched? Anyway, i'll redo it even if it is a pain in the ass. Espacially when the partner put it in impossible at any second. My Gamertag is in my name... :p
