Oblivion Knight Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Looks like this one may have now been patched, unfortunately. Just tried Anvil twice loading from the second checkpoint. I even timed myself second time around to make sure, and I did it in 19 minutes with no achievement.. --EDIT-- Just did a timed run from the beginning of the level in 23 minutes and the achievement popped.

sjmleicester Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) The first level worked using this method but I had to do level 2 (Captains of Industry) from the beginning. The achievement wouldn't pop starting from the second checkpoint. Graveyard - Stopwatch (4th mission) works fine if you load up the second checkpoint and miss those stupid tanks. Going to try Anvil (3rd mission) next. Got through ok without being killed but need to get my timing sorted. PS These are being done after the latest update.

big red marino Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Darkness Falls and Captains of the Industry worked great as the guide instructs. Anvil is not working. I literally ran through the level…using the shotty they provide before the load screen. I then took out the next two checkpoints immediately once you start out with the Heavy Machine Gun. Waiting the approx 10 minutes it takes to complete the level. EDIT: tried Anvil again and no such luck. So I went at it full boar legit. Only took one time. Basically ran through the level hard charging from cover to cover using a lot of grenades. Also got Graveyard using the glitch.

Hybridchld Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Anvil is very wierd. This trick didn't work for me on Anvil or History Repeats but when I went back and done anvil it took me 27 minutes and it unlocked... EDIT: Just got History Repeats legit with 11 minutes to spare, now have the full 1000 Edited October 13, 2009 by Hybridchld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fear30x Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 When loading a checkpoint, just look at the loading screens. When they are different that will tell you if it's the first or second part of the mission. A little guide so you know where to start and don't have to keep reloading.

Cafgert Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 To back up those that have already stated it before, the "cheat" to unlock the stopwatch achievements by just loading the very end of every chapter does work. I beat the game and got all but the first and last level legit, and then (obviously) loaded the last parts of those two levels. They popped once I blew the door, and killed the people at the square. I would say if it isn't working for you, it is because the update fixed it, seeing as my internet is busted atm, and I didn't update the game.

Oblivion Knight Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Looks like this one may have now been patched, unfortunately. Just tried Anvil twice loading from the second checkpoint. I even timed myself second time around to make sure, and I did it in 19 minutes with no achievement.. --EDIT-- Just did a timed run from the beginning of the level in 23 minutes and the achievement popped.Just to clarify, this trick seemed to work for all levels apart from "Anvil" and "History Repeats". Anvil can be a little tricky to do in under 25 minutes, you just have to rush like crazy - and I'd definately recommend doing it on Casual. History Repeats is rather easy to do un under 40 minutes, you should have no trouble running through on Casual - I did it with at least 10 or even 15 minutes to spare.

I only looked into it because i was having trouble with the "Mountain King & History Repeats Stopwatch" 'chievers... Seems it would have saved me and countless others some unwanted frustrations ?!? Regardless, thanks for the tip, works like a charm !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sykoe360 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 This obviously wouldn't work. You have to complete the mission in under a certain amount of time. Not just the end. I think that wounded little bird wounded its head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Metal Jim Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I used this trick for levels 1, 5, 6, and 7. All the other levels I was able to legitimately obtain running through the whole level. Unfortunately level 7 History Repeats did NOT work at the Capture Bridges checkpoint. You're best bet is to just go through the entire level and rush everything, run as fast as you can up the left building, kill the dude, then run over to the other one, take out the helicopter as soon as you reach the top (rocket launcher is to your left once you walk up the ladder) , and then blow up the satellite. Then jump off the building and parachut down and defend the area. I finished the level in like 32 minutes doing it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
