Gears of War 2

This achievement is for 10 captures of the npc character in submission gametype which is a territories variant.

This is easy to do with some patience. After 2 captures, one per round, the game will end. Therefore it takes a minimum of 5 games to get this achievement. But as other people go for captures too, this is unlikely. Tell your team you're going for the achievement and they may allow you to get it, or alternatively, play with a group of friends and take turns getting captures.

During the matches, rush for the meatflag and get him down. Grab him and make your way to the ending area, which moves when the other team captures it, and is random.
When dragging the meatshield, you are more protected than normal, and a good player can take down several attackers one at a time with the starting pistol and melee hits. The rest of the team should be scouting and protecting the rear to grant you safe passage, so if they aren't, tell them to.

Newer updates have allowed the option of unlocking this achievement in Social xbox live, meaning you can choose the submission gametype and have the match populate empty slots with bots. But apparently you will need all the available dlc packs to unlock this achievement via the social route.

They most likely changed it because the release of Gears 3 took away even more players, on top of the already low amount of people playing Submission.

With the latest Gears of War update (update 6), you can get this achievement easily by using "Social Xbox Live". You do not have to do it in a ranked match and with Social Xbox Live, the game will automatically start with Bots if it does not match you to enough or any players. Social Submission takes away the hassle of finding other players who actually play Submission.

Simply select this option in the drop down in Multiplayer and choose Submission in the Game Type drop down. From here start your matchmaking and with any luck you will get Bot players or only 1 or 2 human players. Once the game starts, capture the meatflag and drag him to the end location.

Bots are difficult in Social Submission but might be easier then doing it with expert human players.

NOTE: If playing with other players you will get the full experience that you would in Ranked. If playing only against bots you will only get a certain amount for winning. You ALSO REQUIRE ALL MAP PACKS to play this mode.

As noted that you can just play Social and play against the bots, but here are some tips.

- Only play social if you see 2 or 3 human players playing, thats ok. Anything more than that, than its like playing a regular match, and will make it harder to get the submission. Plus matches go much faster, playing against humans can take forever! Sometimes almost going a full 15 minutes in some rounds.

- Play at night I mean late at night, if you have a day off the next day and don't have anything to do, Try to stay up till 3am. I'm in central time zone in the United States, I honestly got about 8 out of my 10 submissions at around 3 to 4am. For a couple of reasons. I would get host almost all the time and hardly anyone else is playing which means bots only. Every now and than 1-2 players will join, which is fine as stated above.

- If you have the meatflag and you down a bot/player don't kill him. The longer they are downed the longer it takes for them to spawn and potentially try to kill you and take your meatflag. You want them crawling they can't harm you that way.

I did this without any help, I didn't have any teammates helping me which would of been a big bonus, but doing this alone is very possible. I was averaging about 4 submissions an hour, sometimes I would get a submission in back to back rounds, and others took me a couple of games to get one.

GOOD LUCK!

A couple of final tips for those doing it solo.

Grab the Boltok Pistol, or even better the Gorgon Submachine Gun if they are nearby. Both of these pack an amazing punch and can be used one-handed when dragging the meat flag to the ring. A couple of shots and you can down the enemy a lot easier than the snub pistol you start with.

As usual, don't trust your Bot teammates to help you out. They do revive you reasonably well - but they don't have a clue about protecting you as you move your prize to the ring. There was plenty a times that I was left holding the meat flag, and facing down 4 of the opposition while the rest of my Bot team had disappeared to visit the nearby pub for a quick pint.

As you go in to get the meat flag use him to your advantage. He will shoot at the nearest enemy (including you) - so let him live a little while he helps you take out the opposition, once the opposition are cleared out, take the meat flag down, and drag him to victory.

As always, stick with it - you will get there eventually. For me, it was a long grind - probably about 4-6 hours split over a few days.

Finally - try to make the most of the smaller maps, where the Gorgon SMG/Boltok pistol is located near to the meat flag, GridLock especially. A few extra seconds picking up the more powerful pistol will save your backside when you need to drop a couple of enemy in the final seconds.

Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360) - Achievement - Beat the Meatflag

Captured 10 meatflags (not Custom)

This achievement cannot be obtained in a custom match, however since the release of Gears of War 3, a new multiplayer mode was introduced in Gears of War 2 so that people could still play online with bots - The Social Xbox Live match. The achievement can be obtained in this mode.
The game type must be 'Submission'. The idea is that you down a neutral enemy and take him back to a specified location (the arrow at the top-left guides you to where you need to go).
The standard multiplayer bots in Gears of War 2 aren't always a pushover, so it may take some attempts. The game ends after 2 victories, so it will take a minimum of 5 games, but will likely take quite a few more due to the difficulty.
