When I first got this game I pretty much only played squad engagment and co-op campaign. Recently I tried some of the other game types to. P.S. There a blast!!

You and a couple (hopefully more) buddies try to hold of up to hundreds of enemies or clear a map. On some you have blackhawks and apaches overhead acting as gunships for you and others you have nothing, not even extra ammo on the map. Its pretty cool when all you have left is your pistol, your getting overwhelmed by enemys and its just you and another guy. ( Ive never survived that) And sometimes its not pretty cool like when you teamates are shooting down you own helicopters. (We failed that mission to)

My question is why have I never seen any of these games. The only reason I even found it becuase there where only 3 people in are game. Not enough for squad vs squad. Do people not know about it or for some reason do you not like it?

Talk about that, explain all the different types, why you like them why you dont, and why people dont seem to play them as much. ( Maybe they do?, Do i not notice?)And if you havent tried them please do.

I am looking for a 5 man unit with operational experience in Sector game types and Custom Sector game types.

There is the SAW supressive achievement. It has me wondering how to actually score for that achievement.

Two man teams of just three riflemen or sniper but with two AR, the SAW team. The SAW team will supress and the rifleman team will kill.

Do you want to try with us Varezzo?

Personally, I really wish they would of put the 1 hour achievement for co-op fortify. Maybe even a 2- hour for the ultimate hardcore!!! Like in GRAW 2 with "co-op territory", which is basically the same thing. Even though it was ridiculously stressful and I ended up losing with like 5 minutes left multiple times, for some reason I really liked it. These modes work great for split-screen online play too. I really got a kick out of some of my friends reactions to whole thing too. On AA:TS I've only gotten through ten minutes so far, on one level, with 3+ team members using mounted 50s and SAWs. Definitely up to play some of this whenever (if ever? Crying ) I get my 360 back.

HMD or Chauffeur, did this advance you toward the M249 - suppress 30 enemies achievement?

Good job ChauffeurDrive! Ammo was always the problem on GRAW2 also. I use to put the SAWs on single shot on that one, then try to headshot them all at the chokepoint, then switch players out after running out of ammo. On AA:TS, since there is no single-shot option for the SAW and the spawn rate/placement is different, I haven't figured out a good way yet.

Long4Short: I don't know if it advanced me towards that "suppress 30 enemies" achievement. I seem to remember my progress on that one being 0% last time I looked, so I want to say no, but really can't say for sure.

Cire:
If I am on and you are, sure. But I usually only play on weekends. Im not sure i have much experience in those games, as i said ive only recently tried these other game types. If it matters I usually use an M4.

On a side note does anyone else notice that not all of the games seem to show up when you search for them. Often I go to play and search until it finishes loading, see only three games, join one for a couple minutes, and then exit. After I search for games again and see 10 or 12 games that have been in progress since before i searched the first time. Does this happen to anyone else?

Games that are full don't show up on the list.. If somebody leaves, it'll show up the next time you search.

Just read this at xbox forum:

Posted by pmw1718 in response to "how do you get achievement?"

Co Op Fortify. Set it at 10 minutes and infinite enemies so they keep respawning. You ned to suppress 30 enemies, not kill them. So fire over their head or whatever to make them crouch or go prone. For me I played on Mout, Custom so that their was 1 base to defend which was in the middle and kept firing into their spawn. I averaged about 90 kills. You'll notice that when you kill one, two that are around will crouch or go prone. Get a ton of kills and and you should get it. Try that out and after 1 match of playing that way, go to your main menu, exrtras, achievements and arrow down to the auto achievement. Make sure your percentage went up

when I played the gametype for 30 minutes, I used the sniper rifle, I doubt I have even started on that achievement yet.

Confirmed. I did it on Forest Road, 1 zone (under the bridge), 10 minutes. Our team consisted of one Squad Leader and three SAWs. Two SAWs were positioned down under the bridge protecting the zone, and the SL and one SAW were positioned up top on the north end of the bridge on the right side, overlooking the southern approach to the zone. Saturate that approach with the SAW, and use your SL to resupply. Its not important to get the kills, you're trying to get them to scatter and cover. Let the two SAWs below pick up any enemy that get by you. In 10 minutes you'll encounter 100-120 enemy, of which you should get kills on 50-60%.

I finally got a 10% on that acheivement last night I just don't know how I did it though LOL. We were definetely in Co-op Sector Custom Fortify but we played so many games and lost most of them and won 1 which was the one on Farmland defending spawn.

Long4short or anyone do you know if True Soldiers mode is on or off? Difficulty of the AI? Does it even matter.

Long4short have you gotten the achievement already? Care to play tonight for some Sector? Lets keep it a 4 or 5 man unit.

One of my friends and I do have the achievment. My other frind has 10%.

We had three people, so I ran split screen and made my 2nd player the squad leader. The reason we did this was so we had the minimum four and could run a private room. That way we wouldn't have people wandering in and out, having to re-explain what we were working on, or having them disrupt our efforts or steal kills (not that kills matter, but if you're trying to suppress and somebody else is killing them, are you getting scored for suppressing?).

We did not have TS turned on but I don't think that mattered. I had the enemy set to novice, and set to infinate density. As I stated the timer was at 10 minutes which presents you with 100-120 enemies. Since there is only one approach to the controlled zone, you'll get to fire at nearly every enemy soldier except a few that will come up the "bunny trail" and fire at you from across the bridge.

Cire I should be on tonight, I'll throw you an invite.

I sure wish I could play. I mean, I will a little bit tonight, but I don't even get home until after 10 or 11 pacific, then have other homework/side-work, arrgh. Good luck, and let me know if you figure it out.

Thanks. I have been real busy the past few days with work and school semester starting. Even tonight I don't know if I will have a chance to get on. I am so down to do this with the people who have the same mindset. I hate re explaining what we are trying to do to.

Finally got the AR award where you have to supress 30 targets. The MOUT map is very fun because of the many locations to choose from. Also that area where one guy posted earlier. There are alot of enemies when set to infinite, non stop.

The key here is to set True SOldiers mode OFF. I tried it with TS mod on and got 60 kills (without even trying to get kills) with the Saw defending the base 1 on MOUT, bell tower. I then checked if the acheivement increased and it did not. However with TS mode OFF I would even only get 14 kills doing the same thing when TS was on, and I would increase in the acheivement. I certainly could be wrong but TS mode off is a guarantee.

On MOUT if you get bored at defending the same base, "Base 1" for instance where you defend the bell tower building, custom set it to defend "Base" or "Base 2...3...5". When you are dealt with the multiple bases to defend just tell squad to defend one of those bases say Base Charlie. Be sure your zone failure setup is at all zone. You should be able to finish them in 5 minutes depending on your guy's skill and how many people are in the room. I recommend with more than 6 people you should have it to 10 minutes so everyone gets kills. Also up the difficulty level.

Professional difficulty is not for the fainted hearted. Even on the lower difficulties because still teamwork and communication is needed to win. Remember to increase percentage for the achievment you must win.

I would like to thank the teamates who helped.

Very Fun. Though defending base gametypes has been in previous games such as GR, they add more to the fun factor when you also add that AR acheivement objective behind it.

Now I will be jumping in these games more when I see a room setup to be an extra player or a Team Leader to resupply you if you need to use the AR.
