Guitar Hero 5

I will give you two methods for this achievement, the second being the easier way if you have the equipment.


-First Method

The best way to get this achievement is to enter "Pro Face off" on guitar by yourself.

Tips that might speed up the process of unlocking this achievement:

1. It is ALOT easier to find matches on expert.

2. Try to find a match against one person, and hope he has a mic.

2.5 When your searching for a match you might as well quit out if it finds more than one player. You will get a 1v1 eventually.

3. If he has a mic ask him if he wants to get the "Outgoing" achievement by boosting. Make sure to tell him.. "To unlock the Outgoing achievement you have to play twenty five Pro Faceoff matches, win or lose."

4. If he agrees tell him not to leave the match after the songs are over. Wait on the one or two countdown timers and then click "Choose Setlist".

5. Pick one song, and make that song "Song 2" by Blur. You are picking the this song because it is the shortest in the game, and it will speed up the process. Imagine playing Peter Frampton twenty five times!

6. Rinse and repeat, just keep clicking Choose Setlist instead of clicking quit out of match, you guys can talk and get to know each other while the two minute matches plays through.

You should have this in no time.


-Alternate Method:

1. You must own a Guitar Hero/Rock Band microphone and a xbox headset OR two xbox headsets and two xbox live gold accounts.

2. Go into matchmaking under Pro Faceoff. Make sure your main accounts using the xbox headset. Then make your guest use the actual GH/RB microphone. If you have two gold xbox live accounts you don't need a guest or a actual microphone, you can just use two xbox live headsets!

3. Chances are you won't find anyone wanting to play Pro Faceoff with mics so it will start the match up with you and your guest or other xbox live account.

4. Play the song "Song 2" by Blur twenty times, it doesn't matter who wins the matches still count.

TIP: You don't have to quit out of the match after the song is done. If you wait long enough it will give you the option to choose setlist. Then just pick "Song 2" again.


Have fun with this achievement wether your doing it legitly or boosting by one of my methods.

I went the old-fashioned way - pick competetive play, and go find players on Live. I found it was easier to find players when you're playing on Expert. You don't have to worry about winning, as all you have to do is play a song. Just pick one short song and sit it through.

However, this achievement is most likely glitched. You may need to play more songs than 25 to unlock this. (this could be because the game doesn't recognise a win if somebody quits). I know people who have played more than 40 songs without unlocking this. Just be persistent, no matter how frustrating, and the achievement should eventually unlock.

I just got this achievement and I think I might've figured out a way around the supposed glitch. Now for starters I followed the self-boosting strategy that's described in SCG Rebmob's solution. (Supply many Thumb's Up to him) You can pull up your player stats between matches by hitting the Yellow Key and the very last thing listed is your Verses Matches, now keep an eye on this number. I started at 66, play a match or 2 and see if the number climbs. If not then back out, or try a different game mode for a song and re-enter and try a song again in Pro Face-Off until this ticker begins moving. It may take it a few tries before it starts counting, but once it starts it'll count every song you play, even if you happen to end up in a match with another actual player, if you both select a song, it'll count each one as long as one of you doesn't quit. Now I got the achievement on my 91st Verses song. (91-66=25) SO, what'd I do? Once I started trying to achieve this, I never turned the game off. The key word that is left out of this achievement is "consecutive." If you get out of the game, as in go to the xbox dashboard, or begin another game, like...Hannah Montana: The Movie (or whatever you may have laying around) and come back you will have to play another 25 consecutive songs. Now, if you follow the "Alternative Method" on the forementioned solution, you will have to quit out after each match you do, which is fine, it counts the songs, I did it and got the achievement. So keep an eye on the counter, and just do 25 songs consecutively, you may even be able to deviate and enter other game modes and come back, as long as you don't leave the game all together.

EASIEST AND FASTEST WAY

And also single player.

Requirements; two of the same instrument and one Xbox live gold account. That's it.

May seem like a lot of steps but I broke it down to the simplest I could.

1. Get two of the same instrument
2. In the main menu, select 'competitive'
3. Add second player
4. Hit connect to Xbox live players button (bottom of the screen)
5. Sign in second player to guest account
6. Add second player again and set to same instruments and difficulties
7. Hit connect to Xbox live players button again
8. Select 'Pro Faceof'
9. Game will search
10. After 15 seconds, it will ask you to switch to lower difficulty, select 'YES'
11. Wait 10 more seconds and game will begin
12. Pick the shortest song
13. Play it or don't, its up to you
14. When the song is over, select quit
15. Redo steps 7-14 24 more times

This method does not require any extra players and will take around 1.5 hours.
