    since no one wrote a solution and I had problems with this I thought I would share my conclusions of a hidden requirement in order to get this.

    requirements:
    * ranked match
    * only "round over" and "victory" allowed (no "failures" i think but not 100% my group never failed)
    * if the person needs it they MUST host it or have someone who needs it host it, if someone has the achievement already and hosts it you won't get it even if you "victory" all three maps (this was the key I did not realize)

    my reason for the third rule is the following scenarios that happened.

    first time two other players and myself went in. myself and one of the others needed it, but the third person already had it and hosted the game. we victory'ed all three maps and no achieve popped for anyone.

    next time I hosted it and the first one we round over'd (did not trap 20 ghosts in containment), and then had two victories. at the end the other guy and me received the achievement.

    hope this helps if anyone else was having problems getting it.

    I know this is really old, but ive been stuck on 980Gs on this game for years now... Just wondering, is there a chance this could pop if I kept playing? or is it 100% glitched for me now no matter what I do?

    MarkusW86Anyone help /looking to boost online achievements for this?

    PowerThumbzAs of 9/2/22 Online does work for this game. Based on other comments I have seen around the web achievements are working and the bugged ones may have been fixed with a patch. Some friends and I are going to work on these. Once we can confirm if everything works, I will update here.

    As of now though the online portion of this game does work. There are almost no players online.

    Also as a side note... if you have not played since Xbox360, this game is backwards compatible. If you start the game up on a newer console it will pull your cloud save if you have one there.

    When you load the game up on a newer console it will tell you that it is going to overwrite your save data. THIS DOES NOT DELETE YOUR SAVE. It upgrades the save file for use on the newer consoles. If you still want to go back and play on the 360 then you will need to export the save (copy it) to a USB device from your 360.

    Happy hunting!

    Shadow XBLFYI, running this on BC asks you to overwrite the save every single time you start the game. It's really annoying. I still need this, as it didn't work the other time I did it. Looking for a session if anyone is running one.
