With the latest Gears of War update (update 6), you can get this achievement easily by using "Social Xbox Live". You do not have to do it in a ranked match and with Social Xbox Live, the game will automatically start with Bots if it does not match you to enough or any players. Social Annex takes away the hassle of finding other players who actually play Annex.
Simply select this option in the drop down in Multiplayer and choose Annex in the Game Type drop down. From here start your matchmaking and with any luck you will get Bot players or only 1 or 2 human players. Once the game starts, capture the ring location (area on map you have to defend). This ring will have a certain score amount which will deplete then a new ring will appear elsewhere on the map; 3 rings on each map. Get your teams score up to 180 to win the round. Win two rounds and your team will win the match.
Do this on all 8 maps from the map packs to win the achievement. Unfortunately you don't get to choose the map but you will eventually cover them all since this game mode also includes the map packs in the playlist.
Bots are difficult in Social Annex but might be easier then doing it with expert human players.
MAPS NEEDED:
Canals
Gridlock
Mansion
Subway
Tyro Station
Flood
Gold Rush
Fuel Station
NOTE: If playing with other players you will get the full experience that you would in Ranked. If playing only against bots you will only get a certain amount for winning. You ALSO REQUIRE ALL MAP PACKS to play this mode.
EDIT (credit to guycarb): Rotation has changed yet again, the new list is as follows (will pick a random start point on creation):
01 Grind Yard
02 Security
03 Memorial
04 Sanctuary
05 Jacinto
06 Ruins

08 Under Hill
09 Way Station

HERE: So everyone knows. Because its been clarified, now. We just did it. To get this achievement with 2 teams, with no connection issues, or anything that will cause randoms, or INSANE bots to join......it takes 10.5 hours to get this achievement, doesn't matter how many maps you need either, because you're doing this as a team.
Social Xbox Live, pick 2 hosts, close by, if you can, and the maps have no starting order, that we also debunked last night. You may start on Gold Rush, one time, something else the next time you try this. However, once you begin on your map, they repeat the same rotation, so that both teams can win on every map. Each team takes turns. I will also add this note, I went up an entire rank playing, and got over 500 kills, because out of boredom you wind up killing the players that are asleep, left their Xbox on, etc.
You can also run a guest account, but the HOST CAN NOT. 1 player from both sides has to stay awake, or go through this session for the entire time, and honestly 2 or 3 is recommended. I really don't care what others have said about this achievement, and it appears that the maps change cycle. Players have told me that, they've gotten Annex in 4.5 hours, to 6 hours, sure with one team. If someone who has no wins on either map, 5.25 hours for you on 1 winning team.
YES, this is the session of all sessions, one heck of a GRIND!!!!! If you do decide to knock this one out, I wish nothing but the best of LUCK!! :D
NOTE: If you do happen to lose someone, they quit out, or they get disconnected, are unable to search, or find game again, and gets replaced with a BOT. Don't sweat it, the team that the bot is on, 2 players can trap the bot, corner it, or whatever. Also, Randoms are not always bad either. We actually had 3 last night that were willing to help out, but a few that weren't, so we had to trap them in as well.....lol :D |
