    This can be done in DEATHMATCH, TEAM DEATHMATCH, MIXED DEATH MATCH, AND SPECIES DEATHMATCH. You just need to win 10 times in the game types listed above.

    Note: You dont need all ten wins in a single game type. For example you could have 5 in DEATHMATCH 1 in MIXED and 4 in TEAM.

    EarthboundXAlright, I just got this, and we used the method where the wining team gets one kill each, then then losing team quits out. So I guess as long as each person on the team has the same amount of kills, they will all win.

    ListlessDragonWe had best results using Mixed Team Deathmatch but initially had matchmaking issues, often ending up in separate lobbies or getting the one random who still plays this game. As in the other solutions, two teams of four with the leader geographically close to the team members. One team searches for an 8-player ranked match - this will be the host and must be the winning team. Once they see "4 players, waiting for 4" the other team searches but with no limit on the number of players. This resulted in almost instant matching. Winning team did one kill each and the other team quit out one by one, rinse and repeat. The session went quickly then. Remember to press X to ready up to avoid the 30 second wait for the round to start.

    MustardJoker65Just an FYI, me and a fellow booster were trying to track wins via the leaderboard but it stopped updating. You might want to tally wins when going for the achievement.

    i found that if you have a strong internet connection and you are the host of the match.... that the other team can quit out after everyone has (((killed them once))).....

    they should quit out 1 at a time....

    if the host quits out than it does not work.... so do some testing firtst

    MY ACHIEVEMENT popped doing this method.....

    when they leave it tallies up the E.p. and states winner in the left top corner...

    Much quicker than playing the whole match.....

    IT REALLY TOOK LONGER TO FIND EACH OTHER !!!!!

    VWCevery member of the winning team needs to kill one person on the losing team. now that being said, if you do not quit out one member at a time the server looses connection.... you have to make sure that the last person left has a strong connection to the host before quiting

    Piston ToyotaThis solution is great and all, but it doesn't mention how to actually figure out who the host is. It just says "do some testing". What kind of testing? Running a packet sniffer on your computer or something? If one team of 4 searches and makes the lobby and then the other group of 4 finds them then sure, the leader of the first group is probably the host, but what about when you both get put into your own lobbies and then the game merges them? There's no indication of who the host is ingame that I've seen.

    FoolsAndKingsJust got this using the above method.

    The way to work out who is host ...
    Have 1 person look for a Species Team DM with 8 players. Once they get "1 player in game, waiting for 7 more .." they are the host.
    Now the others search.

    This worked every time for me and I only needed 3 accounts to get the countdown to start and play them game, not 4 as stated by the icon on TA

    Easiest one to get is on mixed species deathmatch, you get to pick who you play as AND you get a team to help.
    I strongly recommend playing as a predator, you can use your different visions to find enimies easier, and use ranged weapons. If you use the plasma caster along with the correct vision for whomever your victim is, you can literly blast every single limb off your enimies from the other side of the map. Now throw in your cloak ability, and you have the perfect combo.

    A few pointers for anyone going for this today:
    Veto the map Pyramid - done via the lobby screen.
    Mixed Species DM – allows 4 to start.
    Have both party leaders in the same region - each party can have different regional players.
    We had each person get 1 kill, then the 'winning' team continued to get the rest of the kills.
    Stats can be viewed by the leader boards section however this counts all wins, not just ranked

    e: also just to confirm that the achievement does unlock for team members, there has been some conflicting comments that only the person with the most points / kills is awarded winner status and thus counts towards the achievement. In MS-DM it does count for all team members.

    Be-aware that as of February 2016 the online for this game is still popular with randoms and boosters alike so you may have some conflicts when you are trying to go for this achievement.

    This achievement will likely take a period of time to achieve. You are required to win 10 Ranked Matches related to the Deathmatch Game Modes. This means that as long as the word "Deathmatch" is associated in the chosen game mode, a win will count towards this achievement. Personally among all of the game modes available, I recommend choosing Mixed Species Deathmatch since you and your team members will give credit towards the win.

    Assuming you want to boost in this game mode, the minimum amount of players needed to start a match towards this achievement is 6. If you have 8 however it is possible to get a match started without waiting for a long time. You will then need to assign 2 people that are in the same "region" to host Group Parties that are in the game. They need to be even so if you've got 6 people it needs to be 3 each side or 4 each side for 8 people.
    If people cannot join these groups then they will need to either return to the XBox Dashboard and reboot the game, switch off their consoles and turn the plug off for 10 Minutes, Disconnect from their Internet Connection on the console or reset their routers.
    Once everyone has been paired up and ready for searching, the leader needs to go into Ranked Match, Quick Match, choose Mixed Species Deathmatch and then select the amount of people they wish to look for. I recommend 12, it seems to load faster.

    Now the online matchmaking for this game is extremely difficult because when you search for matches, you will have no idea if you are searching with your boosting friends or not and you won't find out until you are on the lobby screen. You can however keep in contact with you and your boosting friends by saying how many people are on their screen when searching. If it's the same it will likely be you've all found each other.
    Eventually after a short period of time the game will start counting down and reducing the amount of players need to start the match. Randoms can join your match still and they can do so until the match is loaded. When the game reached "0 Players Required" you will have a lobby. You have 30 Seconds then to choose your characters, vote on maps and your skins for the characters. For map-wise I recommend Refinery, The Gateway or The Jungle as they seem to be the smallest.

    Now here is the important part. If everyone's ready they need to press the cn_X button to ready up and then they will have a tick on the left side of their gamertag. If everyone readies up, the match will load instantly and the 30 second timer will stop. This will load up the match and you will also prevent random players from joining it from here on out.

    Once you are in the match you are ready to start playing and boosting. The requirement for the win is to get 50 Points as a team. Decide between the two teams which team is going for the win and then simply let that team do all the work in obtaining the required amount of points for the win. Even if you don't play the match. Participating from start to finish will still give you some XP. Once the match has been completed, rinse and repeat the above method until everyone gets the achievement. You may need to re-organize team members should some people get the achievement earlier before others to ease congestion.

    This isn't the hardest achievement to do in the game, but it can be time consuming. It is possible to reduce the amount of wins should there be dummy accounts available as well. Let me advise here as well that the Marine has the lowest health compared to the Alien or the Predator.

    Good Luck!
