I played all 8 missions of the online campaign last night. There were over 4 players in every mission and all the missions were a success. I even gained 4 skill points. But I didn't get the achievement and when I checked the progress for the achievement it said 0%. What the heck? Am I doing something wrong?

I've been told by other users on LIVE! that you have to have it set to "mission" and not "custom", which I've done, but I'm still stuck at 25% so there's something more to it. Both times that my percentage went up was when I was NOT hosting so there's still something wrong with my host settings. I don't think it matters whether True Soldier mode is on or off since I've played it both ways and had no effect on my progress. The next thing I'll be trying is re-setting the incapacitation timer to 45 seconds (I think that is the default), I have mine set to 60 currently.

That can't be it because they were set on "Mission" (I was the host). True Soldier was on. I did set the incapacitation timer to 60 seconds though. Maybe that has something to do about it. Or maybe the host doesn't get credit towards the achievement?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe everyone that starts the mission must come out without being hit, if one person gets hit then you can't get credit for the achievment, when I got it there was 6 people in the room set to mission true soldier was on (I think) and all 6 of us came out without a scratch. I played the missions over and over again and just got one day, like I said not 100% sure though

I believe you only have to have all team members survive, I don't think it matters what condition they're in. When we (friends and I) finally got it, keeping all team members alive was the focus. And if you think about it, that is consistant with the other "Achievement Star" achievements (completing the Wargames missions with no casualties). Plus you need to run the default settings for everything (if I knew what they all were, I'd list them here, plus I don't believe TS on or off matters).

Good luck. I'm really glad to have this one behind me.

You can have casualties on your team in the Wargames missions.. I got 12SP on one mission where I blew up one of my own guys and was the only one left at the end. You just can't lose anybody you've been told to protect (convoys, other squads, etc).

Not for the Achievement Stars you can't. The Bronze, Silver, Gold and Meritorious Achievement Stars are given (repectively) for completion of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% completion of Wargame missions with no casualties.

When I finally got Gold Lion's percentage to increase (and completed it):

a) I had a friend of mine host who had never hosted any AA games prior, thus he had never changed any of his settings.
b) We made sure we didn't have any casualties. If we sustained a casualty, the Op Gold Lion percentage completion didn't move, it was only when everyone survived that the percentage went up.
c) True Soldier mode was off. Again I don't think this one matters, but for the record, we had it turned off.

I am unsure as to whether the secondary objectives needed to be completed as well. Since we were focused on keeping everyone alive, the pace was really slowed and I'm pretty sure we hit ALL the mission objectives. It would take some trial and error by someone still working on the achievement to determine if secondary objectives are absolutely required.

Sorry, I always assume people are talking about those elusive SPs.. Maybe the thread title should have tipped me off. Hammer

No probs dude (if I had a nickle for every time I went off half-cocked, and then had to eat my words.. heheh). Hope I didn't come off as righteous or sarcastic.. just trying to be as clear as I can.

One other thing. Make sure all secondary objectives are completed in the right order. Maybe it doesn't matter actually, but I know I did it when I got it, so try it if you are having problems still.

I've been trying to figure this out and I'm going to take your word for it for now. If you happen to stop by here and notice this, I'm wondering if anyone can give me a 100% positive confirmation on this topic.

It would be nice if the developers could answer this question. I was at 87% and had a couple of guys help me get through GL2 without being seen and my completion went to 75%.

play with red dots on, normal difficulty, and make sure you dont die. Also, make sure that you start with minimum 4 and end with minimum 4. if anyone leaves to make it end with 3 you gotta start over.

Thats the best i can get for you right now. Thats how i did it.
