Ok so ive been playing alot of Gears lately because I want to try to get as much achievements as I can before Gears 2 comes out.. So far i have 1020/1250 gamerscore.. anyway, so far Ive had 2 achievement glitches that wont seem to let me get the achievement when Ive clearly gone above the requirments.. like the revives achievement, It says I have to get 100 revives total in ranked matches and when I check my stats I have 135 revives in execution, 36 revives in warzone and 9 in assassination.... so thats wayy over the requirment but still no achievement!! Anyone else have this problem?

It's annoying to say the least. I was close to the "Frag" achievement, so decided to go for it. I ended up getting it around 150 grenade tags, 50% more than I should have to get.

But, there's nothing we can do. There are factors in how Epic programmed the multiplayer that posts stats to the leaderboard, yet it doesn't actually count towards an achievement. The only thing you can do is keep trying...

you want to know why that happens? it's not a glitch. when you quit a game before it ends, your stats like revives count on your leaderboard total, but not for your achievements. so stop quitting games, and you'll be fine.

I've actually run into a lot of achievement glitches in general. When you clearly accomplish all the requirements to earn one, yet you don't get it.

Happened in Bioshock beating it on hard, lucky I saved. I replayed the boss 4 times, and finally got the achievement on the 4th time....Whatever.

I really wish more achievements or games had a progress indicator. Grid is good for that, Load screens will tell you how far away from the achievements you are, like "You've driven 120/500 miles towards the achievement long haul."

Well that comment couldn't have been posted with more ignorance. It has little to do with you quitting the match, it has to do with others. For some reason, Epic decided if there are under 6 people in a match, and/or unbalanced teams, it shouldn't count towards achievements (of course, that's the rumoured theory). Yet, it still displays in the leaderboard.

Thankfully Gears 2 should address these issues...

Actually, if you or ANYONE else quits the match, then none of your kills count towards achievements. Think about all the people who had to play 50% more for Seriously.....

Gears 2 addresses this by allowing only one kill of each type to count towards your achievement. So if you get 10 torque kills, only one of them counts. It's a good theory, because then people won't be going to the torque every round for their achievement, but what about us skilled players who can grab it and get three kills with it everytime we pick it up? I think that they should just drop the achievements for online ranked matches and make them for just player matches or not at all.

Yeah, I heard about that in the CliffyB interview. Honestly, it's the worst theory ever. Actually, I went on quite a debate in System Wars about this, with a multitude of people praising the idea.

If I get a boomshot, with 2 bullets, I'll likely get 2 kills that round. Why shouldn't both count towards my achievement? I'm not a serious achievement nut but I like having them nonetheless. And I agree with your last statement; make the achievement solely on SP or player matches to avoid the whording of weapons in MP (ranked). Don't limit my potential, Epic. :P

Yea that's what I was getting at before. I love the way Grid tracks your achievements and shows you your progress during loading screens.

In the achievement screen it should keep track of your progress, like if you have to kill 30 people, it should say 20/30.

People talking about achievement progress, GRID wasn't the first to do that, Orange Box did that long ago.

Also, apparently the 100 revives and stuff like that are actually *around* 100 revives, some people get it with less some with more.

Oh yeah, I remember all that. My advice is just keep going and they will come eventually. "Seriously..." was a nightmare for me, it took me over 11000 kills to get it.
