After close to 15 hours of grinding warzone just for this achievement, which is to win a warzone match on each of the original 3 maps (I had very bad luck on one of the required maps, losing the first 7 times I rolled it), I finally won a match on the last map I needed. However, for some reason the achievement progress tracker didn’t move from 66%.
As I won the game, the server ran into trouble and I got disconnected from it right as it was going into the results screen, which I guess might be related to the win not tracking? The win initially didn’t show up in my service record either. However, next time I load up Halo 5, it immediately displays the results screen that I couldn’t see earlier, and the service record now does show my win on that map. The achievement is still stuck at 66% though.
This was not a freak occurence by far, as I’ve seen many people (for instance on the Trueachievements page for this achievement) reporting similar problems where this achievement gets stuck at 66% and fails to register the last win. Based on the reports there, this achievement seems to have been bugged this way all the way since launch.
I do not want to keep going at a 1 in 6 chance of finding the right map and then a 1 in 2 chance at winning, for matches that can last nearly a half hour and that I am forced to sit through to the end every time I roll the wrong map because I might get banned for leaving, unless I can be 100% sure that it’s going to register correctly this time.
If somebody can just award the achievement to my account somehow (proof of completion here: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-gb/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/service-records/warzone/players/fristi61 you can see I won a match on each map), that would be nice too, as I’m kind of burned out of warzone now hehe. If not, I understand, I just hope somebody fixes this thing finally.
You’re in good company mate. I have over 15 hours of warzone under my belt with 4 or 5 wins on each map - no achievement. Mine has been stuck at 33% since my first ever game.
You can avoid playing the irrelevant maps by pressing the home screen and quitting the game from the XB one home menu so long as you do it before the game starts. Once you see an irrelevant map, just quit this way and you should be safe from the banhammer (or it takes longer for the banhammer to strike, depending on who you ask).

Thanks for the tip mate. I have read reports/speculation of people getting banned for this, though. I have been using that trick very sparingly, like if I’ve been playing warzone a few matches in a row and want to stop, I just stay on the server until it shows what the next map will be, then close the game from the menu if it’s not the right one.
I don’t understand for the life of me why anyone has to be banned for disconnecting from a non-ranked gametype, but that’s beyond the point.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been afflicted by this bug as well. Apparently, this achievement has been in this state since launch, where for a lot of people it works fine (as evidenced by the % of people who have it), but there’s a good amount of people for whom the achievement seems to get stuck at 33% or 66% and never moves beyond it.
It’s the last achievement I need now which makes it all the more frustrating hehe.
Yeah, been at 66% for awhile. I get on and do a few matches every other day but it is hella boring. Would be nice if they would fix it.
Finally managed to get a match on Raid on Apex 7 again today, but lost. I was hoping that the way this achievement would work is that, after a game on that map, it would check my service record if there was a win there and then progress towards the achievement (since I’ve won on it before but it didn’t register then) but I guess I’ll actually have to win on that map again. Also won a firefight match on the same map today but I guess they don’t count.
No but seriously, if whenever the game is started and loads the main menu or something, the game could just do a quick check through your service record to check if there’s any past wins that the achievement failed to register, that would be great as it would effectively mean that, whenever the achievement bugs out for someone (which it does a lot) it could still pop when that person next loads up the game.
Man I’ve won on every map today and still no luck. Each was a full game from start and each was war zone pvp not firefight. I did win one on firefight too tho.
I have since originally posted this tried to clear my xbox’s cache, delete and resync my local profile and even tried completely reinstalling the game. I have since won on every map again. The achievement is STILL stuck at 66%.
I have 9 wins on March on Stormbreak, 7 on Escape from Arc, and 2 on Raid on Apex 7. The achievement should have unlocked weeks ago.
Never has an achievement this mundane and easy cost me this much time and caused me this much trouble. It is bugged beyond belief.
