There are 6 maps for Capture the Orb:
Block
The Pit
Uptown Grrr!!!!
Figure of Hate
Docks
Hostile Takeover
The game doesn't keep track of which maps you have won a match on, so you might want to write them down on a piece of paper. Winning a match of Capture the Orb is fairly easy, unless you're going against a team that had that one guy who utterly dominates. If you have problems winning on specific maps, take the time to study the maps as each match is 10 minutes long. Figure out strategies for transporting the orb or, if you don't care to get captures, make it really hard for the other team to capture your orb (proximity mines are great for this). After 5 minutes, the orb locations will begin moving to the other side of the map. This can be handy for making captures since you already know where the orb is headed (or, you may end up running into it on the way there).
However, if you manage to join a match in progress and the team you're on wins, it counts towards this achievement. Also, if your team is winning and the people on the other team quit, you will also net a win.

As a warning, this achievement glitched on me. I know for a fact I have won every match at least twice, and still no go.

Can you add the following in?
I looked through my saves and saw "Player Stats/Settinngs". I copied that to a memory unit then deleted it. All your PVP stats are saved locally; I was a level 1 again with 0 points, no Sunburst Perks, 0 Deluge kills.
I played all 6 maps again, and happy to report the achievement unlocked. If anyone else has this problem, do as I did and you will be okay.

You must win a public match of Capture the Orb in every arena.
The arenas are as follows:
Block
The Pit
Uptown Grrr!!!!
Figure of Hate
Docks
Hostile Takeover
To start a public CTO game , this a minimum of 4 players, it's not very easy to boost as no-one seems to play anymore.
Just get a group together of at least 4 players and start the match.
I recommend you decide which team will be winning first and whether you will do all 6 arenas for one team then the other, or if you will take turns and do each arena twice in a row.
Once the match starts all you have to do is have the winning team score to take the lead and then the losing team just has to quit.
This will count as a win and will take much less time than playing the full 10 minutes per arena, per team.
Again:
1) - 6 arenas
2) - 4 players minimum
3) - one team scores
4) - other team quits
5) repeat 3 & 4 for each arena and each team.
The arenas are as follows:
Block

I want to add two things.
1. You don't need to score a point. Quitting right away works, too. I did it that way.
So step 3 can be savely ignored.
2. When you are 4 people, it is enough for just one guy to quit instead of the entire team. With 3 people left the match will end, too. The Team with the quitter will loose. It is easier to maintain the lobby and the team constellation if only one guy quits instead of two at the same time.

This is a re-writing of the guide posted here to include new information as the original writer of that guide is not on the site anymore and cannot make changes. This game is pretty dead now, so I will only mention how to boost this achievement. You will need four accounts on four consoles as this game does not support split-screen multiplayer.
Capture the Orb has 6 maps:
Block
The Pit
Uptown Grrr!!!!
Figure of Hate
Docks
Hostile Takeover
Generally, the maps you get will follow this order but it does not always start at the beginning. However, it is still good to check off which map you have a win on since the rotation can be unpredictable at times.
From the main menu select 'Multiplayer' and then 'Capture The Orb'. Be sure to select 'Quick Match' as Private matches do not count. Everyone should be able to search for a match and end up in the same game. . Once the game has loaded, have the winning team score (grab the orb or kill a player) and then have the two members of the losing team quit. The game will end after one person quits, but we did two to be safe. Continue to rinse and repeat until each team has won a game on every map.
IF YOU WON A GAME ON EVERY MAP AND HAVE NOT UNLOCKED YOUR ACHIEVEMENT, READ ON
I had this issue while my boosting partner did not, and we did everything the same (we were on the same team with alts on the other team). The only solution I could find was posted by Meringue in the comments of the original solution (shout out to Meringue for providing the information) and requires a flash stick/memory card for the Xbox 360. Go to your memory on the Xbox 360, and find Crackdown 2. There will be something along the lines of 'Stats/Setting' that is your multiplayer stats.
Copy this file onto your memory stick, and delete the original file. Then repeat the wins on each map, and your achievement will unlock. Note that this will delete your Deluge stats, so it is good to get the 10,000 kills before if your achievement glitches.
If you have any questions or notice something that needs changing, please let me know. If you vote negative, please say why.
