Red vs Blue achievment not progressing

For context, this is the win 10 matches on bloodline achievement. For me, bloodline is extremely rare and I only have two out of 10 wins. However, with Rocket Race I finally have a chance to matchmake into it. I have been winning some, but none have been counting towards this achievement. I know this game has issues with tracking achievments, but this one is annoying in particular because the main reason I don’t have it yet is because I never matchmake into bloodline and now that I am because of rocket race it’s not working. I am asking for 2 things (that probably won’t be fixed any time soon because 343 has a lot to deal with, and that’s ok)

  1. Let rocket race count towards this achievement
  2. Let me matchmake into bloodline in btb. Before this post, I can only remember 2 times I played it. That seems weird for a flagship map for H2A multiplayer.
    Does anyone else have the same experience of never matchmaking into bloodline or is it just me?

This achievement doesn’t have to be done in matchmaking. You can load up a custom game on Bloodline with a friend, kill him once, then end the game. That counts as a win. Do that 10 times.

EDIT: I just looked it up and this can even be done solo. Just load up a custom game on Bloodline, then pause and end the game. Do that 10 times for the achievement.

For all multiplayer achievements, unless the achievement description specifically uses the word “matchmaking”, you can unlock it in custom games.

I’m not 100% sure this still works.
The comment underneath the guide mentions that the info for that achievement is outdated and doesn’t work anymore. I might try log into my alt account soon and test it.

I know back when MCC released ALL multiplayer achievements were doable in Custom Games until that was patched out. If you can’t get it in customs then good luck with playing some Multiplayer, I’d recommend selecting specific modes and games that have that map. Play anything regular like CTF & Slayer instead of race etc

I have never wanted a time machine more, lol. I have owned the game since release but never knew this.

Ah wow did you really not know :0

There’s still a select few that work, the win x amount of multiplayer games can be done with some trickery and I think maybe a handful of others.

There are ways to make getting the multiplayer ones easier with multiple controllers and what not but still takes a while.

Nope. I didn’t, lol. Could you get Rock and Coil Hit Back like that back then?

Bloodline rare in matchmaking? I have to call shenanigans on that. H2A doesn’t have very many maps so it should come up pretty often. It could be just tracking issue.

Could get everything like that, was crazy.
I never really took much advantage of it unfortunately but I still found ways to get all the achievements.

If you and a friend have a bunch of controllers you can easily just match with eachother and make it easier.

Do you match into it often? I play a lot of btb and I only ever get Stonetown and Remnant. (Mostly remnant)

I play quite a bit of H2A and get it regularly I would say.

Just my 2 cents. But rocket rsce isna multiteam game, andbwhenbibwas getting the achievements, multibteam modes like rocket race, lone wolf, etc, they onlybcounted as a win if i was as in 1st place. Second place didnt count it as a win.

I think TheDonCJG is mistaken. The achievements that specify matchmaking in the description have always required matchmade games to unlock. All other ones were definitely able to be earned in custom games though.

It would be possible to test this though if you have a physical disk copy of the game. Disconnect from the internet, uninstall MCC, then re-install from disk while still disconnected. You’ll have the original unpatched version of the game. Just keep in mind that meeting the requirements for any achievements while offline won’t immediately unlock the achievement. It won’t actually pop until you go online again.

I did this achievement in custom games in the last month or two. It does work.
