BWOzar Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 So I'm trying to figure out if this achievement is linked to the life or death of the HVTs before I go any further (I've captured most but killed a few so far). The IGN guide seems to suggest that capturing, and not killing any of, the HVTs is linked to an achievement. Can anyone confirm or deny this either way? Perhaps it's linked to that last secret achievement? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's linked to that last secret achievement? Thanks if it is i will be kind of pissed. i think i killed two of them, but i didn't mean to, i just blew up some fuel tanks that were near them and they died. there is no way i am starting a new game so if this is true i will not be getting 1000. edit- looking at the achievements it seems like this is the case. there is one achievement for verifying all hvts and another for capturing all of them. not cool.only way is to start a new game right?

Siduakal77 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 That will piss me off... Reason Being: I have 2 dead HVT, neither of which did I kill. I kid you not, a stray RPG killed one (I dodged it and it hit them) and the other was dead when I landed the helicopter to attack them all.

hawk199 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The key is to save after u capture a HVT. Quit when the HVT is dead..reload that is wat i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siduakal77 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yeah, but I'm one HVT from hitting 1 billion $$.. :/ So for me, this is going to suck ass to quit and start over.. especially since I freaking hated that Mechanic driving mission.

Bloody_Hitman666 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 i captured them all except one so far and thats only because i didnt know how to capture them at them time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorInATX Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The achievement indicates you need to verify the HVT's. This suggests nothing of killing or capturing. If you do kill, DO NOT forget to snap a photo to verify. This is what counts towards the achievement. After they're laying dead, once you're near the body, you have a chance to take a photo to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorInATX Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The Secret Achievement Aces High requires you capture them all. I've browsed all over and I do not see an achievement for Aces High even being a Secret Achievement. Can you elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostu1337 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 50 pointer for just verifying...another 50 pointer for capturing them all alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its delicious Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Cool. Shouldn't be too hard. Nail everyone with a sniper rifle and badda-bing. And is the game so bad that a second playthrough is torture? I went through the first game 4-5 times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y0UNIK0RN Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 no but when your really far into 80 percent and the game and yourself saves then every time you got to an HTV hes already lying there dead on the ground. Every single time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaruch76 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 yeah, i am 99% not going to playthough again for this achievement. for anyone else - TURN OFF AUTOSAVE - i did not kill any of them, but they died anyway from like someone else mentioned a stray rpg. i wish i knew this all before i started. i guess it's not so great getting games early.

squid5580 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had one HVT jump to his death. He was on a high rock and I guess he saw me coming so he committed suicide. I hate reloading this game. It suxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

its delicious Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Does Jennifer still have move faster than the other mercs when carrying an HVT? I'm going to be starting an Aces High run and think her ability could be a boon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ribtone Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 You don't have to play it all again, just to get the justice for all achievement. With any luck, you did a manual save just before choosing AN or China for the final mission, before Solano. If you got Aces High, it means you captured everyone in the game. Just reload the game before the final battle, and kill / verify either General Peng (China HVT) or Agent Joyce (AN HVT). This is all you need; kill / verify 1 guy. Same thing happened to me; got Aces 1st run through, but no justice. Thought WTF, so reloaded before final battle, killed Peng by mistake, pressed on, and Justice unlocked after the final battle with Solano. Good luck.

I think i figured out what you really have to do. You have to of course kill or verify all the regular ones, then you have to kill or capture joyce or peng. The first time i finished i captured Peng, what I think happens is that if you capture peng or joyce then you capture solano, but if you kill joyce or peng you kill solano, and it seems you have to both kill AND capture solano to get the achev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjanuary99 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) I just unlocked "...And Justice For All" & "Aces High" at the same time. I can verify that it works i just beat the game again a minute ago and got aces high, but no And justice for all......so idk i got screwed over. i am unplugging my Ethernet cord and doing it offline and hopefully it loads up after i beat the game for the third time. EDIT: no it did not give me the achievement even when i unplugged my cord. that was my last achieve in order to get 1000 and its glitched, EA fails once again...
