What you need to do is play an online match and this is when your ''Countdown'' start. Then wait 6 month and go play an online match once the match is done. It should pop up!
So if you at least have the achievement your in the countdown if you don`t , you better get going.
To know around what date you should play to get the achievement. This image might help you.

Note to people who are giving me Neg:
If the achievement is bugged its none of my fault. I'm just here to provide you a solution in order for you to get the achievement.

I rebooted once, and I don't remember when (turns out it was March 27th) so perhaps I have 4 days left. I will never buy a game from Crytek. Their QA department blows.
Just sayin'
that would not make sense since its has to be related to the game
It's play ONLINE 6 months after your first time.
You can play and unlock every SP achievements on day one, if you don't play some MP, it doesn't start the "countdown" for your 6 months.
"While connected to Xbox LIVE, launch the game 6 months after your first time"
Whoops. I think you're hosed. Because it is going to take you DAMN AGES to get to level 50. You'd better get hopping right the hell now.
you may not even have to wait exactly 6 months to the day like for example 25th of march to september 25th.. you may just need to play 6 months on. which would make sense as most people unlocked it september 1st onwards.
I did play the beta so not sure if this affected it.
Haven't played the beta either and tried doing it today but looks like another wait. Just curious to where exactly the achievement unlocks.
Does anyone know if a reboot affects this?
Played a whole game on 21nd and today on 22nd. No achievement :(
Hope to get it today after playing some more games.
Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like a Nanosuit Reboot may in fact also reset your initial starting date ;( I would hate to have to wait for another 6 months after my last Nanosuit Reboot :(
so points 2 & 3 don't fit for me.
I'm also a level 50 who never rebooted who played the beta.
So its either glitched or the people that have it are cheats.
Thanks for posting the info. It gives me hope to get the achievement. Fingers crossed...
So to answer the question, it's 6 months after you played multiplayer versus.
plz anyone who has this achievements, do u have the 800 MS points dlc?
There have been rumblings that the game will only trigger the initial countdown when you first enter a match as a Level 1, and assumes that Level 5s have allready played online prior, effectively rendering this achievement permanently unattainable for people who bought the Limited edition, like me :( And Nanosuit rebooting won't work as it will just reset you back to Level 5, sadly.
Let's hope this is not the case, though we may know more this weekend...

NOTE - I unlocked the "Nomad - Multiplayer: Play a full game on every map:" achievement on 02/10/2011, 1 day and 6 months after i first played crysis.

I also read this yesterday and it seems to be the most likley reason why this achievement is bugged:
http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=4199...
Good luck ;)
btw, great idea for a "last boss" Crytek! /sarcasm off
Though I did get Tooled Up today, so at least that didn't glitch too.
Also, I'm playing the UK PAL version and you don't get the achievement when you first play multiplayer...
A friend told me this morning him and another had got it today, so I had a go and it got it :)
WHOOO! Isn't that awesome?
Nobody can have a better date than this. This is actually EXACTLY 6 months later LEGIT! For real! :)
If the achievement is bugged no need to give me a neg ? its not my fault im just trying to help you for the achievement."
I don't care I'm giving you a negative vote. Only kidding. Thanks for the guide.
He played TDM, on his original save file (Level 50, no reset), was in the lobby before the game started and managed to get the final kill cam. Hopefully something from this helps in others finding out a way to get the achievement.
I'M FREE
I get "Try Me" the 13 january 2012.
FYI, the multi-player game must end, then the achievement pops.
Is this still working? If it does I had better hurry :)
- Got this 6 months and 13 days after my first online multiplayer match.
- Since the first of a month was getting so much luck I changed my time zone on the 2nd to make it the 1st and it worked on the first match.
- I got put straight into the match (didn't play from the beginning).
- Got my achievement in the loading screen afterwards.
The time zone thing might of been a coincidence but it's worth a shot if you're on the 2nd. GL!
Dedication Unlocked: 8/1/2014 8:07 (GMT+2)
so the rumor that the Achievement only tracks the Month and not the Days is True.
FYI: I have the Limited Edition and used the Code. I've Never removed the Save.
Me and my Boosting Buddies we all had the Limited Edition with the Code (for our Main Accounts) and not a Single Achievement was Glitched for us.
I used the Game on Demand Version for my Dummy Account so let me take a look if the Achievement pops for him or not.
Edit: Achievement popped for my Dummy Account using the Game on Demand Version on my 2nd Console.
Digital Version Game.
Nanosuit reboot 3 times ("Tooled Up" was glitched).
I've change my save and clear my cache during last six mounth (it's normally I think...)... I've start to play everyday from 7th august... I'm waiting ...
Playing multiplayer right now and nothing. :(
Try me unlocked next hour after i got dedication achievements.
Played on a standard edition disc.
Standard digital edition.
No console change, no profile change, no new HDD or anything else!
My achievement didn't unlock but my dummy account which had never played the game before unlocked it as soon as the match finished - very annoying
Any help with what worked for you would be helpful.
I just unlocked 'Tooled up' achievement which was glitched for me. I boosted up from rank 46 to rank 50 to then be able to reboot my nanosuit again. I did this and then boosted up to rank 26 via the glitch lobby (and was able to change time limit to 30 mins) once this game finished, the achievement unlocked for me instantly once the scoreboard came up. I doubt you have to get to rank 26, likely just to the rank that gives you 2 weapon tokens (rank 8 i think) to make the 22 weapons stats even though theres only 20 base game weapons and 2 weapon skins via the limited edition copy (EA play digital copy see's the game as the limited edition version hence this issue I believe) then achievement would unlock. I ranked up as much as possible thinking I would have to atleast get to rank 43 to attempt the weapon unlock glitch and possibly reboot nanosuit again.
Quick note about nanosuit reboot, you can only do a nanosuit reboot 5 times. Once you have rebooted 5 times you can no longer reboot your nanosuit and therefore might block you entirely out of getting tooled up achievement if you require to reboot your nanosuit.
This shows that if you don't have 'dedication' achievement and is glitched for you as well as the 'tooled up' achievement is glitched, the dedication achievement can block 'tooled up' achievement from unlocking as dedication achievement hasn't been unlocked.
If you can't unlock 'tooled up' and you still don't have dedication unlocked then I suggest you wait till you get dedication to unlock which might require the use of the end of year/start of year glitch which nearly always guarantees to unlock dedication achievement.
After my first attempt at doing dedication and tooled up achievements using backwards compatible digital copy via EA play and it glitching on me and then doing a nanosuit reboot and both still locked for me on digital copy even after ranking up to rank 46 and attempting the weapon unlock glitch again but didn't do anything.
I decided to buy a physical copy (not limited edition copy) and to only use my xbox 360 (premium) from then on. I gave up for some time with playing once or so every month to attempt to see if i could unlock dedication and was possibly 4-6 months of not touching it and then decided to play a match on 03/12/23 and finally dedication achievement unlocked which I wasn't expecting as was expecting to have to do the year glitch - There is thought that dedication is more likely to unlock on 1st of the month and other hypothesis' but no one knows how the game counts the months so either keep trying or wait for end of year glitch (31st December/1st January (of the new year)).
I finally got round to ranking up using the lobby glitch to boost my rank via double boxing - I got to rank 50 and rebooted nanosuit again, this is all while playing on xbox 360 with a physical crysis 2 copy with my main account on the xbox 360 then went from rank 1 to rank 26 and achievement for tooled up unlocked once game finished and showed the scoreboard for the finished game with no need to unlock any weapons at the main menu.
I suggest to just use the xbox 360 and a physical copy (not limited edition) if at all possible to lower your risk significantly of either of these achievements glitching on you and having to go through my ordeal although they can still likely glitch on you anyway.
My journey -
Officially started online on 17th November 2023 on digital copy via EA play on Xbox Series X - 10 months from this date.
Reminder for "Dedication" if months reset due to reboot of nanosuit on 17th June 2023 - 3 months. 6 months is on 17th December 2023 (or 1st December 2023 if only counts 1st of the month).
Tooled up also glitched on me and might not unlock until "Dedication" achievement has unlocked for me - Might unlock after playing another game online once "Dedication" unlocked.
Rebooted nanosuit (once) on 17th June 2023 using digital copy via EA play on Xbox Series X and ranked up to rank 46. Weapon unlock token glitch didn't work.
Bought Crysis 2 standard copy on 18th June 2023 and only played on xbox 360 since and from now on.
Played glitched lobby (with my 2nd console, xbox one via BC) on 01/09/23 and Dedication didn't unlock still after match (nor Tooled up).
Next attempt likely is to play on 1st December, failing still, the year glitch where I will play again on 31st December and again on 1st January 2024 preferably with a full 6 player lobby minimum.
I post this to help anyone who has these issues with these 2 glitched achievements and hope this will help someone else who had issues like me as theirs not much info on the internet or even on TA guides so thought i'd share my journey that might help someone else resolve it for them like I worked out how to resolve it for myself.
Finally Finished with MP for this game on 30/12/23.
Good luck.
Thanks

nobody knows for sure, have to wait til its been out 6 months first...
speaking of which, why are there apparently 3 people on the site who have this achievement ???
ban???
I deleted my single player file apparently, that better not fuck this up.
Anyone who buys another crytek game after this is a sucker.
1. The thing is just glitched and it's not a problem on our end (though the fact that some people are unlocking the achievement would seem to contradict this idea).
2. The 'countdown clock' is within your save file. If you deleted or overwrote your save file at any point, the countdown is reset to zero.
3. When MP stats are reset, it also resets the countdown clock. When I did some CTR boosting to go towards level 50 back in May, most of my MP stats were reset including Skill Kills, etc. I'm not sure if my achievement has glitched on me yet (my 6 months is due tomorrow), but this could also contribute to a restarting of the countdown clock in which case my new '6 months' will be on the 27th of November (instead of September 25th).
Just a few ideas I had. If anyone else has any other theories, please post.
It still seems strange that only 1% of gamers would have it unlocked (I would highly doubt 99% of people had/bothered to use the code), but that some people are simply disinterested or haven't gotten around to hopping back on the game could possibly account for that difference...
Either way, Crytek better fix this quickly, otherwise I hope sales of the 360 port of the original Crysis are dismal and they learn a valuable lesson about disappointing previous customers RIGHT before the release of a new product.
What i've done:
I've played a full match of Team Deathmatch(started from the MP-Lobby with the countdown) and it popped right after the match ends in the black screen.
My stats:
- Played my first game online 22 March 2011
- Bought the Limited Edtion, entered the code and gone straight to Level 5
- I DID NOT reboot my nanosuit
- Boosted only a couple of levels, not the full 50
- I registered @ MyCrysis.com
- I changed my Xbox in May, but transfered the licences
- I've never deleted any Data from Crysis 2
- I've played in the Beta
- Never had any glitches in Singleplayer or Multiplayer
I suggest you dont give up and just play a few more matches today and maybe tommorow. I was about to give up too, but i decided to give this game a last chance today and voila...
I really hope you all get this achievement.
The thing that really annoys me, is it seems to me that this should be an easy fix or patch yet still nothing. Valve released a patch for L4D fixing some stat resets and giving achievements to their community as an apology for their mistake. Valve may be very slow when it comes to releasing games and addons, but at least they respect their community and try to fix their mistakes.
I have attempted to get answers at mycrisis.com, but there is not much help over there. I think that maybe if you all continue having problems with this game and achievement, that you should go over to mycrisis.com as well and try to make our voices heard.
Do you have to win a match or what?
1) It should have unlocked for me on September 30th
2) I used a limited edition code
3) I switched Xbox's from a repaired Pro to the Gears 3 Slim in September
4) I never signed up for MyCrysis
5) I boosted most of my rank during the double XP weekend
6) I never rebooted
The last time I tried was on November 3rd. Good luck to everyone else!
I use regular disk (not limited edition) and my dummy use digital download game, we all get it.
I really enjoyed this game and was lucky enough to have none of the other achievements glitch on me, but I guess many of us had to run out of luck sooner or later. I'll try again on the 1st of October and if it doesn't work, I'll be shelving the game until a patch is hopefully released. If Crytek doesn't correct this problem, I just won't ever buy another one of their games that has achievements/trophies in it. Their total lack of any kind of response to their customers is inexcusable.
Some info:
Got the achievement after playing one team instant action match. My team lost. I joined in the middle of the game.
I never did a nanosuit reboot and still had my level 50 character.
i never played the beta.
I never had any limited edtion codes put in or anything.
I did not download any of the DLC.
No other achievements glitched on me in this game, not even Tooled Up.
The last time I actually played Crysis 2 was June 10th to finish the supersoldier playthrough. i have not put the game in my xbox since then until today Nov. 1st. I had to title update upon bootup.
Good luck to anyone going for this and above all keep trying. I've had a few friends who had to keep playing even after 6 months to the day for the achievement. They played 1 game a day until it popped. From what I've read about this achievement, it seems like it's down to luck; you'll either get it your first game, later on, or not at all and there seems to be no consistency between the 3 groups

Firstly, I pre-ordered the game, but was unable to find time to play it until March 26th, 2011. (Note: that some of the dates on this site for when I obtained achievements in this game are wrong. For some reason it says I started playing on march 25th. This may be a timezone difference issue between me and the servers for this site, but for those who want to know I'm in the central time zone in North America; but on xbox.com they are correct)
I DID redeem the Limited Edition pre-order bonus code for the bonus experience.
I played my first online multiplayer matchmaking game on March 26th, 2011 sometime in the afternoon. I also, watched the opening cutscene for the game the same day while connected to LIVE.
I DID boost the online achievements and completed them all by March 30th, 2011. (Note: I used the Capture the Relay method to get to level 50, and boosted the skill kills and such in other boosting sessions through this site)
However, I DID NOT reboot my nanosuit and began finishing the single player achievements, which I completed on April 3rd, 2011.
Since then I HAVE NOT played crysis 2 and have been waiting for September 26th to role around.
I have two xboxs one in my bedroom and one in the common area of my apartment. I got all of the achievements except for this achievement on the xbox in my bedroom. I have my profile saved on a flash drive and got this final achievement on the xbox in the common area. However, neither the second xbox nor my flash drive had any of my game data for crysis 2 on them. So in conclusion you SHOULD NOT NEED PREVIOUS GAME DATA, it must be saved on a online server.
I played one multiplayer matchmaking game just after midnight on September 26th (the exact date 6 months since my first mp game) and the achievement popped upon completion of the game. It also appears that others have managed to actually get this achievement online since September 1st. Therefore, EXACT TIMING OF WHEN YOU PLAYED YOUR FIRST GAME SHOULDN'T MATTER, PERHAPS ONLY THE DATE OR EVEN MONTH COUNTS. The gametype I got the achievement in was team instant action, the map was "Downed Bird", and my team won the match.
Also, I DID NOT download any of the DLC multiplayer maps and I DID participate in the multiplayer demo/beta.
One last side note I did not have any problems with other achievements that seem to be glitchy for other people so it may all come down to a "cross your fingers" situation.
I hope this helps figure out what is behind the glitchiness of this achievement. If there are any other questions you have for me about factors not listed in this guide I would be glad to answer them if possible.
27 Sep 2011 19:18
Thanks anyway. Positive from me.
I had the unlock all weapons and complete the game on super soldier achievements glitch on me. hopefully they release a patch for all the people that are having problems getting this achievement.
i got a dogtag for drunk and disorderly (be in bottom third for 3 games in a row after 11:30) after the game finished, and with that, i also got the achievement, i had played for about 8 games, got a higher level, unlocked a new gun, and these didnt help, so it may have something to do with cryteks servers recognising about you getting a medal!
just a thought.
1) It should have unlocked for me on September 30th
2) I used a limited edition code
3) I switched Xbox's from a repaired Pro to the Gears 3 Slim in September
4) I never signed up for MyCrysis
5) I boosted most of my rank during the double XP weekend

So for those of you who are having a nightmare trying to get this achievement to unlock, there is a possible method that you could use to help you get the achievement to force unlock. But it would require you to wait for one period of time to get it.
Basically, what you would need to do is wait until December of the year you are in, then participate at least one full Ranked Online Match until it is complete. Make sure you are in the match from start to finish. Do not drop out at the end of a round, or count it if you decide to join the match in progress. If you are un-certain you have completed 1 full match, I would suggest you play another one or two more to ensure satisfaction.
What you then need to do is make a note you have done this and then return to the game in January of the brand new year. Once it's January, all you would need to do is play another full match to completion. Once the match is completed, at the end of the Round, the game will believe you have particpated for a full 6 Months, whereas you in reality only played the game for less than a month, forcing the achievement to unlock at the Results Screen or on the Loading Section.
In can confirm that this somewhat works, as during December 2018, I was hosting Gaming Sessions, helping a huge handful of people, playthrough a match to completion, then most of them needed to return in January 2019 for another match. Once that match in January 2019 was completed, at least 90% of people walked away with the achievement unlocked.
If you are one of the unlucky ones however, and I must admit, I cannot promise this method would work 100% with you or not, since the online for this game can be very glitchy, then you will have no choice but to either try this method out again in the next December we encounter, or you will have to wait until at least June of the year your on, before you can try again.
Some Pointers You Might Want To Take Upon Before Trying This
If you are trying to go for this achievement without unlocking any other achievements in the game, then you may want to take note that these are the ones that you could easily unlock by mistake...
With this in mind, notably for "Team Player", it would mean that you would be unable to join someone elses Squad if they decide to invite you, unless that Squad only has a total of 2 people in it. If you decide not to join a Squad, you will have to manually search for the match you are looking for, but if you are a low Ranked level, you will not be able to join many matches, making your chance in finding your fellow boosters/opponents slightly difficult.
The other 2 achievements I noted are Self-Explanatory, so I will not go into detail with them.
In addition to the above, I believe the best game mode you can play and get a match done to completion the fastest is "Extraction". This would only require two people per team to grab the 2x Ticks that are on the Map and bring them back to the Chopper. The match will only take 2 - 3 Minutes tops per round. But if you are a Low Rank, unless someone can invite you into this game mode, you may have no choice, but to search for a different game mode that could possibly take you 10 - 15 Minutes to complete. Keep that in mind.
Finally, if you are having a nightmare unlocking this achievement...
It may be possible that it could be fully locked until you actually get this "Dedication" achievement to unlock first. I personally had a friend who I helped with on this game and he was unable to get the "Dedication" & "Tooled Up" achievements as they we're glitched on them. Shortly after using the above method I've explained and himself getting the "Dedication" achievement, he got the "Tooled Up" achievement when he completed another match straight after.
Besides all of the above, I wish you the very best of luck in getting this glitchy, awkward, pain in the ass achievement!

This will be the last achievement you should receive. Now at this present time there is no indication on how Crytek has sorted out their in game calendar for this. So when the 6 months comes from when you first put the game in, there will be a possibility of 3 days you can try.
The first is the 1st of the month. The game may just be remembering the month you started and not the day. The second is the same date. So you start on the 22nd March you put the game in on the 22nd September. The 3rd maybe the same day & week as you started. So again you start on Tuesday 22nd March which is the 4th week of that month. So come 6 months later you put the game in on the Tuesday the 20th of September.
This way with all 3 options you're covering your back. If one doesn't work, wait for the next. You'll need to put the game in and select multiplayer. Whether or not you need to play a game is unknown but that isn't much of a deal. You also can't use the console clock trick, seeing as you have to sign in to get into the multiplayer menus, the consoles clock will reset!
