Can't the devs patch out those achievements or make them obtainable another way. Ugh.1 Unobtainable (there's no excuse for not fixing that one soon after the game was released) + 16 Discontinued and 4 Discontinued in the Escalation Expansion Pack. This game should get a permanent 75% discount. It better not be GwG ever!!The thing is, that one unobtainable was actually obtainable at release (at least, all signs point to it). The issue was that, in order for get the achievement, you had to basically be a member of the faction that won the online Theater of War for each of the three factions (was a fun feature, for what it is worth), and the first war went on for something like 4 months because no one side could topple the other. At that point, winning the war meant holding 30 territories and all three capitals (I believe). While it worked for the campaign, it was clearly too much for the online ToW, and the requirements were adjusted to 27 territories OR two capitals. It's in that transition that the achievement likely became defunct, because although it was looking for the ToW victory condition, it was likely searching for the old conditions somewhere in its coding instead of just the "Victory!" screen. By the time each of the three factions finally won their own war (which itself took almost a year because the Russian faction kept winning, iirc), the studio had already moved on to finishing Beyond Good and Evil HD and beginning Far Cry 3, and this game was already on discount racks.
It's definitely an interesting story, to be sure.
