having trouble with DLC achievements

is it even possible to play infection on a defiant map? That is the only one I have no idea how I will get. I am finding this no touchy flag achievement to be a pain too, but all I need is a couple good teammates and I can get that one. but does anyone know the the best way to be last man standing on a defiant map? is it possible?

I have heard that the only way to get the Defiant zombie achievement is by luck in the Living Dead room and I believe it is only on the map Condemned.

I am also looking to get the Defiant no touchy my 1 flag achievement and both of the infection achievements, if you are looking for some teammates.

Not completely sure, but i think its on FFA on DLC. Sometimes there will be a infection game.

DLC Squad has infection? I’ll have to check if that’s true or not. I know Anniversary as FFA and the infection gametype. I earned an achievement once it was voted for.

The easiest way OP is to get a bunch of friends to boost achievements and hit up the infection playlist as a full party. Make sure everyone has the DLC so that the maps pop up and -Blam! Hopefully you get a defiant map but if not just play the matches until you do.

If you are having trouble finding friends, make a thread in the recruitment section (do this during the day as more people are online here at waypoint) and ask for players to help boost with you.

Otherwise, the odds are stacked against you if you search randoms as they tend to NOT vote DLC maps when they show up (which is rare).

I’ve got them all…

but I’ve recently been going for the no touch 1 flag one for my bro and the gametype seems to no longer come up.

Am I in the right playlist? We’ve played squad dlc and team objective. Should I delete my anniversary maps to increase its chances?

Hmm if you play in Team Objective 1 Flag and 1 Flag pro come up often. I’ve played a match or two of Pro last night actually. It must be your luck.

Deleting the Anniversary (and Noble) actually DOES increase the chances of finding a Defiant Map. < Snickerdoodle gets credit (but i still get all the cookies mwuahaha)

I’ll provide proof of the games i played in Team Obj.

Here

and here

Don’t give up, just keep playing and you’ll get 1 Flag.

Dont worry I can’t get and it sucks / its super hard to get those game types .

Actually, deleting Noble and Anniversary map packs WILL increase the odds of a Defiant map showing up in Team Objective. We played TO the other day for an hour or two, nothing. I deleted Anni, someone else deleted Noble, and the next round was ALL options on Defiant.

Ah, looks like i learned something in the morning. The. Morning. You did what school failed to do for me at that particular time (better spent sleeping).

I stand corrected and i will reflect this in my post.

Woo! +1 for me! :smiley:

thanks for all the great helpful responses, it was nice to not have anyone being a jerk. Anyways I ended up finding some people who wanted to get the achievements with me and so we had a party of 12 go into the normal infection playlist and we got the defiant map packs quite often. And that was the only one that really doesn’t show up. I am sure if I can get a few friends to join I will be able to get the no touchy flag achievement without boosting. My goal is to have every halo achievement(not including the halo wars dlc, because I am honestly never getting that unless it is like 200 MS ea.) before H4 comes out, I am nearly there.

I’ve been playing only the Squad DLC playlists for the last 2 weeks, earning about 500,000 credits. To my memory I’ve only played maybe 8 Defiant 1-flag games, 3 of which were ruined by hosts changing, which glitches the achievement. If you want another player for that achievement, add me (Plain Ben on XBL).
